mounting low profile badlands ?
I have a spare set of proline badlands laying around and I decided to use them on my ST-1 for a back ups incase something happens to my crimefighters at the track or if I want to bash. However the beed of the tire is pretty chewed up so it would be impossible to mount them straight so I thought if I made them low profile I would have to cut off the beed. In how to's I've seen for doing this with other tires and it ses turn the tire inside out and cut on the mold line. The badlands don't appear to have one though. I know this is possible because the guy who runs my local track did it with badlands once, but I didn't see him mount them so I don't know what he did. Does you guys have an Idea or have any of you done this ? thanks

Are you sure the guy you've seen with badlands mounted on LPR rims didn't just stretch the tire over the rim? I've seen this done with Crimefighters... You don't necessarily have to cut the bead. Might be worth trying.

Rc Driver (rc 411.com) had a nice write up on mounting the mtr/mt tires on a set of losi rim or the lpr rims. You will need to cut them to fit the low pro rims. If the badlanders dont have the inner markings, you could use a marker and draw the line equaly on both sides them cut and mount.
Look up the how to on the rc driver site, should explain it in more details for you.
