| what 1.9 rims hold a bead on pitbull rockbeasts
got some rock beasts coming and was planning on either going with the rc4wd pro10 wheel or maybe the rc4wd hitman beadlock losing the scale screws on the hitman frightens me a bit so I am unsure on which wheel. then today i read about the rockbeasts being a pain to mount and the beads won't hold in steelie wheels. what beadlocks are you guys running on these. I want something all black or lots of black aluminum preferably capable of holding a bead so I don't spend all my wheel time trying to remount a tire. any suggestions appreciated!! thanks |

I have a set of 1.9 Hitmans. They look great and it was not that hard at all to get some tires mounted. I mounted some Rock Crusher II X/T 1.9 tires on them. I had a brain fart and didn't check to make sure the hub bolts where tight and lost a wheel after about 20 minutes of hill climbing and yard bashing. I have a set of bolts on order and plan on using some lock tight when I get them installed. I read the other day in this form that if you use a Mason jar lid.. the ring part.. it will help you get beadlock wheels mounted in no time. I'm also running a set of Axial 1.9 8Hole beadlocks with Crazy Crawler tires.. they work really well too.

I actually use RC4WD OEM steelies for my pitbulls, I got really nice spacers from Underground crawlers and now it fits like a glove! I think the spacer could work for your pro10 as well! and it's so much easier to install those because the spacer is actually threaded...you install one side, screw it down and you do the other side after...no need to hold everything together...hope this will help!

well since I need 5 wheels and not a huge budget I went agains what i wanted to do and settled for a plastic wheel. I looked thru the pitbull pics thread and about 60-70% of people were running some sort of axial stocker wheel. So I ordered 6 of the stock black axial 1.9 beadlock wheels and also these AWESOME beadlock rings to go on the black wheels. should look decent. black on black mmmmmmm gonna go on this rig. can't wait to try out these pit bulls to see what all the fuss is about |

My pit bulls are mounted on gear head RC ez-loc trail kings and I think they are a perfect fit for each other. You get aluminum hexes and rings and I think the wider wheel suits the width of the tire nicely. If you want to see the combo rpp hobby has several pics when you look up the wheels.

Got some pitbulls mounted on steelies with the UGC spacers and great results, as well as on some axial beadlocks. Only problems with the axial's is spinning of the hexes...

| That's a good idea, been debating the vp hub idea as well. But the last time it happened, shoe gooed some hexes in... (cheapo option )
