It also gives me a Bit more Ground clearance.....Some folks wanted to see Pics,,,so here they are......
Lol...You'll Notice my Futaba Xmitter in the Background, those of you who Know me will know WHY its Futaba and not Redcat!

Never saw a wheell break so easily. I just went out and bought a set of Maximizer beadlocks. I have read that they are very strong and if it breaks its just 4.00 for a new faceplate instead of the whole wheel and I dont have to glue them.

I Dont Bash my Monsoon too hard....
If I Break it, I want it to be on the TRACK, Darn it! Lol...
Im sure I'll break em soon enogh tho, and then I'll get some Disk Rims n MT tires

Beadlocks sound like a good idea. I looked at the Maximizers online....How does THAT bead lock system work? Screws, or something else?

Status: offline 		I just installled the beadlocks. They install in a series of rings and then you use screws to attach the outer plate to the inner rings. There is no way these tires can come off. The plastic just feels heavier and thicker. You dont have to worry about teh chrome coming off if you clean them also. I love teh way the redcat wheels look but its not worth the aggrivation of replacing after every few runs.

That was what I was thinking TOO, untill I had THIS problem with the Glued on tires that are installed on my Volcano: I Washed them in soap n water (too much water ) and the water got inside the tire on the foam. Now they are so out of Balance that I cant go faster than 1/2 throttle without the tires literally BOUNCING up n down. One set of tires n foams ruined, because BOILING the tires for removal will kill them ,,,right?
If I had Beadlocks, I could just Dis-assmbled and replace the ruined Foam.....Big cost saver.
