anyone else have issues with the tires spinning on the rims? Looking for a solution that doesn't use glue so i can still take them off. Also any news if someone will make some better wheels with the same offset?:shock:

tire and wheel issues

Either glue them or buy some beadlocks!! Typically CA is used to glue them, but I have heard of people using Shoo-Goo. I think beadlocks are
the way to go. The screws can be a pain though.
I have a Wild Willy that I used double sided tape.....
It worked well for that, but I wouldn't use it for crawling.

the wheels
this thing came with bead locks but they dont hold the tires from spinning I hope someone will make some aluminum ones soon I think they will have to be glued unfortunately

JIA's had that problem when we were in Augusta. Beadlock bolts were tight but tire was spinning on the rim. Only 1 rim was doing that though.
i wonder if you were to flip the bead rings around if that would work better... putting that lip on the inside.. anyone tried that?

I'm having the same problem with one of my beadlocks. I've got all the screws tight, but it still spins. I'm either going to try shoo goo or someone on another forum suggested using 1 7/8" oring gasket to get a tighter grip.

If the tire is spinning, I would take it apart, make sure everything is dry and clean and rebuild. If that doesn't work, try a tiny drop of CA. A small drop of CA applied with a toothpick won't wick around the rim (it has to be tiny) and will still keep the tire from spinning. The good part is the small amount of CA can easily be cut free if needed. As someone mentioned, Shoe-Goo might also work and you won't run the risk of using too much and ruining the rim. Use the CA trick will extreme caution.
