New scaler - Vaterra Ascender

[meatmonkey]

If they are the same swampers that the Twin hammers kit uses then they are kinda a funky shaped bead, almost triangular instead of rectangular.

And like RPP said, they are a wider bead than normal I believe.

I "think" if you carefully trimmed the inner edge of the bead a smidgen you could fit them into most beadlocks. Still probably woudn't be pleasant to mount.

In a word, no. I don't see how without some serious trimming.

Bead is so thick, you'll need a 3 piece rim to stuff them in there. Rich has his mounted on some VP wheels, I went the easy way and just used Vaterra beadlocks. I could not find another wheel in my arsenal to get them mounted to. The Axial 8-holes were close, but didn't want to push it.

Great tires though.

I don't know about the steelies, but they mounted right up to the RC4WD Classic Locks.

Based on how those wheels work they should work. You will have to stretch a bit to get the halfs in compared to a regular tire but it should fit.

I tried to mount them on my Dick Cepek wheels from RC4WD, but I couldn't make them work. The bead is too big. Definitely don't buy wheels unless you are sure they will fit.
