SCX24 Beginner Series: HOW TO Assemble 1.0 Beadlock Wheels

[@CapeCrawlers]

I’ve teamed up with Little Guy Racing Parts to create an instructional video series. This first episode is on beadlock wheels! Install begins at 1:03

[@00mazdaspeed]

Are all little guys wheel vented or only the cyclones?

[@maxwell5428]

For mounting the inner and outer face if you have paper clips, or a smaller hex wrench you can put them through the screw holes and two sides to line it up. Then get your first screw in and go from there.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Paper clip method is a great one!

[@makoskid]

Beginner series is a great idea.

[@mikenewman4344]

I really appreciate the beginner series, thank you for doing it.

[@matthewpham]

This is perfect! I’ve watched hours of videos on micro crawlers already but there are some things I’m still not 100% on, assembly being one of them.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Let me know if there is anything you would like to see in the series!

[@MadHatterND]

Thank you so much! I bought wheel/tire set from a different vendor and there were no instructions. Much appreciated.

[@jeffnewhart491]

I am seriously regretting not buying a set of those wheels when they were still avalible. I have a new thing for polished brass and gold. I did get in on the first run of trench kings though!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I was skeptical of the rose gold at first but they are glorious in person. Hopefully they restock soon!

[@R1ftd]

Wish I had this video 3 months ago I didn’t know how and it took 4h 27m for a 18m job Edit: With Lunch included.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I feel your pain! When I assembled my first set of stamped steel beadlocks it took FOREVER. Now I hope I can help reduce the pain for others!

[@VS666]

love that LGRP tool kit, pretty schnazzy got $500 worth of furitek parts coming tomorrow, cant wait!!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

I love the kit as well. Great stuff. Have fun with your furitek goodies!

[@DarkDanegan]

Awesome! Just followed this for my first attempt at assembling Injora beadlocks and tyres!

[@derpdog5122]

Love this idea! Excited to see more from this series

[@TheWhyteRhyno77]

Try using a little bit of water based lubricant on the bead of the tire. It helps when tightening the outer beadlocks. It keeps the rubber from pinching and it seats much better.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good tip! I could have used this when assembling some 1.9's last night. They were tight!

[@brianz367]

Wish someone had done this a long time ago. This was a tough skill to learn at first, with almost no videos to help at all. Nice job.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I feel the same. Lot's of time wasted making mistakes!

@@CapeCrawlers your the best out there just so detailed with stuff and it’s just awesome

[@andrewryan4368]

Great idea for a series, I've been hovering over the buy button for weeks on an scx24 so I'll be watching intently. All your videos are very helpful. I want the C10, big fan of your C10. I've been holding off hoping they magically release it with the V2 electronics. Would you say v1 electrics are a deal breaker now with V2 out and I should looked at the Jeep instead? No plans for brushless at this stage.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I wouldn't let the V1 electronics steer you away. The V2 is smoother, but the V1 is still close. Plus the three speed modes on the V1 is nice for adjustment. You can always buy a V2 set on ebay or the Facebook marketplace.

[@josephlawrence6873]

Gotta love those swamp kings... I can't wait to get a set of the mini swamp kings.. so I can put them on my fire horse

[@CapeCrawlers]

They're my favorite tire. The mini's are just as awesome. They will be perfect on the firehorse!

[@josephlawrence6873]

@@CapeCrawlers do you know when the mini swamp kings will be released

[@CapeCrawlers]

Another 4-5 weeks I believe. They pushed the date back just recently.

[@josephlawrence6873]

@@CapeCrawlers oh ok thanks for the info

[@gfabian2]

Beautiful Weels and tires ❤, I love it. Thanks for your video.

[@scottybarnett8544]

Great video on the 3 piece wheel ,and you can agree they're easy to install. But you should do a video of the 4 piece wheel that takes 30 minutes for each wheel, where you start with the outer ring. Not trying to be an ass, but most builders buy those, like the Injora black brass wheels. Everyone wants to show all the easy stuff to build. And Adam , i love all your videos. I've built my gladiator off of your videos with the Injora brass wheels , I look forward to building another build like your comp build, THANK YOU.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good points. A whole lot more screws in those four piece wheels!

[@farmboyrc]

I've been thinking about doing some videos like this and doing a review only series where I buy parts just to review them. awesome video!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Do it!

[@farmboyrc]

@@CapeCrawlers just filmed the first video for the review series! its on the rc4wd mtr goodyear wranglers.

[@SDRSpeedcuber]

Hi everyone, what works great for me every time is using some alcohol spray on the parts of the tire where it gets seated. Makes life a lot easier to put everything together real quick. The spray evaporates after the mounting process. Doesn't 'hurt' the tire at all and you're done with a tire in a minute without breaking a sweat. Give it a try :)

[@CapeCrawlers]

Great tip!

Spirit or hairgel.

Thanks for the advice

[@rcjoe406]

Getting a set of mofo super deep dish today with 3+mm brass hex look tricky to put together hope I figure it out ..the little guys look nice also definitely on my ever growing list

[@CapeCrawlers]

The mofo's are easy. There is an extra step with the hubs, but they go together very smoothly. The bigger hardware is nice and makes them easy to assemble I feel.

[@rcjoe406]

@@CapeCrawlers yes sir put them together with the smaller injora pins today for the warthog build the wheel quality is next level and ya the larger size hardware with the brass hex showing threw is epic 👌 no more China for me lol

Thanks! Will do!

[@EL_Arson]

Just picked up a trx4m. Would be nice to have some beginner videos for that too.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Sure thing. Any suggestions or requests for topics?

[@EL_Arson]

@@CapeCrawlers pretty much anything. This is my first rc.

[@curtschaben5609]

I have this same set. My son ran it at a climbing event. I lost almost all my screws. I almost feel like they need a very light thread lock or something.

[@JamesDirtRC]

I am new and Appreciate these videos my friend. You Have Any about Shock maintenance ? i'll look.

[@jeffnewhart491]

Just gonna add tires like the swamp king are directional. Make sure you pay attention to mounting 2 and 2 when you do. Unless you enjoy doing things over like me...

[@CapeCrawlers]

Great point!

[@DanhNguyenster64]

New to the hobby. Picked a trx4m and an fcx18 same day. Just learned the steel stamped wheela from injora dont work on either of these rc's i thought maybe they would work on the scx18 if anything bc theyre plastic beadlocks out of the box but nope 😅

[@CapeCrawlers]

The wheels should fit on the axles. The hexes are the same. What troubles are you having with fitment?

[@DanhNguyenster64]

@@CapeCrawlers i meant the stock tires dont fit on the rim. The rims fit on the axles just fine.

So I went on Ebay & found the Traxxas TRX4M Carbon Fiber Trail BEAST Chassis BMRC Black. Since I got the M, it looks soooo tempting bro, if it was in blue, I'd bite! Lol

Pretty cool! :) Helpful videos. What a bumer. SCX24 costs $660 in my country. Now you know :P

@@CapeCrawlers Yup! Did I mention that we have to wait for 3 weeks for it to come? Now you know why I emailed you about the Axial 🥲 Don't even ask me about upgrades lol!

[@rossi461]

Is this the same way you would do the injora beadlocks?

[@BradyVanRossum]

Do I need to glue the tire onto the wheel?

[@paultamasi6519]

Hi Adam, nice video. Off topic. I'm noticing that you are using the flysky gt5 in lieu of the avatar on recent videos. Just wondering what is causing you to switch??

[@CapeCrawlers]

Two things: 1) I am running out of space on the avatar, and 2) I wanted to try something different to get a broader perspective of what's available.

[@Matty_mccfly]

When I did mine I did the star pattern as if you were to put wheels on a car.

[@OneLoveRC]

Just got some DJ crawler tires omg sooo soft and sticky don't know if you know about them please check them out

[@CapeCrawlers]

I've never tried them but I will check them out!

[@rossi461]

What size of tires are those?

[@65jimmytex]

Hey Adam, do you use blue locktite on your beadlocks?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Not usually. Only if I have a wheel that's notorious for losing screws.

[@damnationtrials7146]

I have heard you talk about ‘flipping’ wheels to get more width. What do you mean by that?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Check out the last part of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnXYaWqJrLuqprs Basically there are some wheels that have a reversable design where you can gain ~4mm of width per side by attaching the wheel hub to what would traditionally be the front of the wheel

[@damnationtrials7146]

@@CapeCrawlers Thank you I will check that video out 👍

[@tommypelleja8896]

I have a set of endura rims with Nikki Thompson tires from traxas with mom's, and it seems like it will not let me assemble them properly. Seems like there's air in the system. Do I put a hole in my tire to let the air out? So I can assemble the Beatbox correctly. Because it won't the way it is now. If somebody can give me help with this or if you can do a video at solves this problem so I understand but I've been trying to put these wheels together are literally 4 weeks and it's not getting anywhere. One wheels so f***** u*, it's not Bunny.

if you get wheel weights do those replace the foam?

Nope, they sit inside the wheel hub, not the actual wheel.

[@curtisnewton895]

there is no bead lock at all, screws are not even on the outer ring, this does not make any sense this is more about tyre installation convenience than locking anything
