How To Step by Step Install and Mount RC Beadlock Wheels

[@chunkbot]

I'm an idiot and should have watched this video first. This made it so much easier than the way I thought I had to do it haha

[@BigSungHobbies]

I think lessons learned from mistakes are worth much more. Now you know what to do and not do.

[@robm.6825]

Thanks for a great, well explained, brief video. Just what I was looking for.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mhouslay7281]

Super clear and instructive video showing all the steps at a pace that is easy to follow. Thank you very much indeed.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rickcorlett]

Super clear instructions! Thank you for this.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking out the video, and leaving a comment.

I’m sure glad I watched this before mounting my new tires. I was getting ready to use the headlock to clamp the tire down. Your way is much better.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad I could help

[@rsxrsx]

Wow wish I would of seen this before starting my third wheel. Haha I’ve been doing it the hard way. Didn’t even think about starting for the other side with less screws

[@BigSungHobbies]

Next time, you will get it done in no time.

[@c.c.9370]

EVERY TIME I see someone online doing beadlocks it looks so fuckin easy yet when I try to do it theres no fucking way in hell.

[@BigSungHobbies]

I think most videos make it look like it's something that can be done in few minutes, but it is not. It does take a long time since there are so many screws, but if you take it slow, it's not too bad.

[@أبومحبة]

Thanks a lot!! 👍

[@BigSungHobbies]

Glad that the information helped!

[@michaelhightower8160]

🤔Now will it be just fine if I use blue loctite on all the screws? Instead of just the first outer rim.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, definitely. Blue loctite helps to keep the screws in, but it’s not permanent.

[@shanec8812]

So no loctite on the inner screws and just the outside set?

[@BigSungHobbies]

I have started to add blue loctite on both outer and inner screws as long as it's going into metal. If you have plastic beadlocks, then loctite should not be used.

[@FrambosiaLeQueffe]

Succinct. 👍

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks!

[@stevenbrooks7776]

what do you do when the back ring wont line up because the beed seems to thick. also I've had a problem with dual stage foams also as it seems the insert moves in side the tire a little bit, and it makes look real wobbly

[@BigSungHobbies]

Try using longer screw as a guide. I haven't had issues with mine, so it's tough to help without being able to see the issue. If you are using Proline dual stage foams, then due to the size of the foams it should not be an issue. Crawler Innovations tend to be a bit smaller, so you will need to make sure they are mounted center.

[@stevenbrooks7776]

I dont what bra d foams are they are a house brand. Are dual stage really all that great? As of yet I haven't seen any advantages

[@BigSungHobbies]

The benefits of dual stage foams can be seen during sidehilling. Keep in mind that there is a reason why most LCG rigs run dual stage foams.

[@stevensyrissont2044]

Hey nice nice video Do you think the Beadlocks can fit on a traxxas slash?

[@BigSungHobbies]

I am not quite sure. I remember Slash having 2 different sized beadlocks where the inner had bigger beadlock assumming to fit the knuckle though.

[@stevenbrooks7776]

I'm running1.9 tires on mine with no problems

[@t.c.tristenmccarthy1920]

i thought the mark was to say "this is the outside of the tire"

[@BigSungHobbies]

The mark is to note the compound, either G8 or Predator, in the case of Pro-line tires. The tires are not directional so you can use either way. Personally, I prefer it hidden, but I have seen others the other way...just comes down to matter of choice.

[@t.c.tristenmccarthy1920]

@@BigSungHobbies ah good info! Thank you!

[@BigSungHobbies]

@@t.c.tristenmccarthy1920 You are welcome!

[@stevenbrooks7776]

on real tires it is the heaviest point

[@josecanseca8979]

BLUE LOCTITE,NOT LOCTITE PURPLE222?

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yeah, I use Blue loctite, and it works fine. I have not used purple, so not sure on that one.

[@scottpray7252]

Thanks for the video!
