ready to rock "crawl"

ive got it built, but one of my beedlocks keep popping the tire out.

Are you running stock turs, also did you trim your foams?

[Cajun]

Those beadlocks were a huge pain. I finally got them together last night after I fixed the forum. I'm hoping to get the rest finished tonight.

yes i am, no i did not trim the foam, was supose too? they all went together fine but one.

[upnover]

I would say yes...but really a personal preference. It will allow the tires to flex more... you get  a better footprint and more traction. There is hundreds of ways to cut foams.

Nope, you should have drilled at least a couple of holes in each rim before you assembled them.

That's a common problem on RCCrawler.com. You have to put a large shock spring spacer on the left rear shock or run lighter springs on the other three shocks to stop it.

well i did a few mods, i posted pics in the pic section

Looks really good, did you get the tires and wheels fixed?

[srx]

i got the tire to stay after putting a drop of glue on it to hold. i need to probley trim the foam but im gonna play with it awhile to see how it handles 1st

If you didn't drill any holes in the wheels, you will probably want to do that at least. The tires will be real bouncy otherwise, at least I thought so.

here is some good advice on the tires with or without holes

I could see no holes if you're not using foams, but with the foams you'll be to bouncy.

[Miller Time]

You can always try it and see what you think. Personally I found that without drilling holes and cutting the foams, the tires wouldn't flex enough. It was fine for moving over open terrain, but when trying to wheel up and over a lip the tire lugs would bounce across the rock. I drilled two 1/8" holes in the wheels, opposite each other, and cut a channel down the center of the foams. The tires now flex better, acting something like tank treads that conform to the surface, applying more tire surface to the terrain.
