Bushmonkey Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) So does it matter that the bead pinches?? Its almost like the bead is a few millimeter too big and dosent want to stuff in, I cant even close the gap with my hand squeezing the front and back together. I assume the bead sits in the groove on the inner ring right?? Edited June 1, 2020 by Bushmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The bead should fit into that rebate on the ring, then the wheel outers pinch it in place 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Don’t forget to vent your tyres also 👍 unless that’s not your thing!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I of stretch the beading when removing it from stock rim?? Is it possible?? Used hair dryer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I’ve never used Traxxas tyres so really can’t comment further. All I know is my bead locks don’t even have that rebate on the ring and I just push them together and screw it up!... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmonkey Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Ok after some research turns out the stock tyres on the trx have a "Wedge" bead. Same as proline apparently. The rest have a "Squared" bead. Guy on another forum had same issues as me trying to fit the same style beadlocks to same tyre and it was down to the beading on the tyre :/. Well, better go get some new tyres 😅Thanks for your help though guys! Edited June 1, 2020 by Bushmonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I’m sure they’d still close up in there.... What tyres you thinking? Actually, perhaps you should move this chat to your thread 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted June 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2020 Something nice, and shiny for a change, new Alloys wheels from Aliexpress, good price and shipped from Spain so no import and arrived in less than 15 days, these are for the FS racing when the mk3 F-150 shell arrives, but the wheels can go on before that second pic shows the look i am planning 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brains Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) This robbe firefox tamiya bigwig clone for 25 euro, not sure what to do with it I am going to compare it with tamiya parts and look of parts fit, if not then I am going to paint the car and put on another bumper and then it is nice for on the shelf. And a tamiya ta-03rs for 60 euro with a extra new rare spare toyota corolla 237mm wheelbase body, the chassis is in real good condition so I going to rebuild this one and I am thinking making it a front motor chassis.

Pistonhead Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Something i’ve been way more excited about than i should have been, but it saves the pita job of refitting the body and clips on the 10.3 when i stop on the trails. The slight irony of solving the having to faff around fitting the body and clips, is it’s now even more of a faff when changing a battery. Before, it was just the lights connecting the body to chassis with a decent length lead, now there’s an extra two, thicker and shorter leads to connect up, so you have to have the body perched over the chassis and connect the xt60’s under the body lol.
