Re: Beadlock help
You know, I've had similar problems with other RC4WD beadlock rims. I had a couple sets of 1.9 True Scale beadlocks, and often times the tire beads just didn't seat right, or would try and squeeze out. One set of tires in particular gave me a bunch of headaches. Finally, what I ended up doing was getting the tire bead in place, start tightening the screws on the rings, and then before they were really tight, I'd pull a little of the bead outward, but completely out of the rim channel. Then continue tightening the rings. What I noticed was the channel didn't seem either wide enough, or deep enough for the tire bead to all fit. By pulling the bead out a little tiny bit, I was able to get the tire on without the bead squeezing out on it's own. In fact the tires pretty much looked like they were meant to go on that way.
I don't if that will help you at all, but it might be worth a shot. I've also found some tires just flat out do not fit at all! No matter how hard you try, but if anything, RC4WD tires on RC4WD rims should be an ideal combo, one would think!
