Cuiken Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm really enjoying my XV-01 and PTG-2 cars right now but the tyre wear is nuts. There are a quite a few places selling bulk lots of rally tyres (like 24 tyres in a pack) that look good but then I'd need to buy and glue 24 wheels/rims. As an alternative I was thinking I could get a set of beadlocks and keep swapping new tyres onto those. Has anyone tried something like this? Cheers.

toyolien Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 What terrain are you using them on to wear the tires out so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuiken Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Mixed terrain but with some tarmac. I think it's the tarmac doing all the damage 😄. Went through a full set of road tyres today in just two packs on my PTG2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorrylemming Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 You can use acetone to remove old tyres from wheels, if the wheels are the right kind of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes beadlocks will fit, although most tires i found dont like beadlocks. For context i got gmade 1.9 beadlocks to fix the fasttrax rally block tires. They will however pull out the bead from to much rpm or hard turning rolling the sidewalls out of the beadlock.

Thanks for sharing this. Shame it’s not totally robust. Those wheels look great. What chassis is that btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really looked nice with the metal beadlocks too imo. It's an ftx banzai drift car, great value for its price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
