Question for thoses running Pro-line 8 shooter beadlock

[Psycho-Savvy]

I got my 8 shooter beadlock in today and have a question about them. The center of the wheels is very deep which is great if you want to wrap it with weights. If I don't use weight, there will be a big gap between the foam and the center of the wheel. The foam will only be supported by the outside edges of the wheels. Is this ok? I am thinking it is going to eat up the foam. I thought about wrapping the center of the wheel with some old foam to help support the tire foam. Just curious what you guys are doing about this. Thanks.

I think you're worrying too much about it. I've never noticed an issue with this at all.

Before I ran weight there was a gap. After there was a hump. Made no difference to the foams. But that being said, always tune your foams for your rigs. Makes a big difference.

I have done that a couple times. Maybe just for piece of mind..

I might be over thinking it. This crawling thing is somewhat new to me. I am used to my savage flux blowing up tires and foams. My wraith is a tad bit more slow paced.

I had some foams out of some 1/16 scale slash tires that fit perfectly. I threw thoses in there and it turned out sweet.
