I have a GMade R1 crawler, and I put new flat iron tires on the beadlock rims easy enough. Well tonight I bought 4 of the same factory rims (I'm too lazy to switch the tires over) and some Proline chisel tires and I am having a hell of a time trying to mount them. I can't seem to get them to seal up, one part of the lip keeps popping out and I already cracked one of the rings. Luckily I have extra rims and rings from the last time I cracked one putting on the flat irons lol. So in total i have 10 Gmade beadlocks. But these chisels are being far more of a pita. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try the RC Rock Crawlers section out?
Not to take anything away from RCU, but I've been lurking around on RC Crawler for quite some time now with my new addition to the addiction. Maybe this thread will help...

The gmade beadlock rings are known to crack. They used too dry/hard of a plastic. My opinion, get some of those Pro-line Titus 2.2 wheels. They mount really slick and cheaper than the stock gmade beadlocks.

As for advice on your current issue, just start with all of them really loose, get the bead centered up, and tighten them around the horn 1/4-1/2 turn at a time.

I realized what I did wrong, and your going to think I'm really stupid. I didn't realize they were 3 piece rims and the two pieces slid apart to fit the rubber into... yeah its all good now.


Thanks for the help guys!
