Jerry I use the axial oversized on my maxx, bought them about 6-7 months ago and havent used anything since. They hold the tires tight even with 6s and a 1Y. They only let go of the tire when you head over heels cartwheel down the street on asphalt, where it would have ripped the tire off a glued rim. Then unscrew 1/2 the lugs and tuck the bead back in and lock it back down. They sure arent for quick changing tires though. It takes hours to get a new set situated on them, so I bought a 2nd pair. 1 set black chrome 8 spoke with axial terraizer race tires and 1 set chrome 8 spoke with 40s mulchers. my thread with them g4maxx


Yea thanks JayJay I have the black chrome set and they do look pretty good. Like I said from the looks of them, I do not see how they will come apart if you drive half way decent. The only thing is that now that I am doing some more reading I should have taped the tires before putting them together. Oh well we are still waiting on our household shipment anyway, so I have nothing but time to take them apart and tape the tires and put them back together again. It will be good practice for my son and I. I was also thinking about getting the spare set for quick changes in the case of any accident(good point). I guess I will have to look into the prop balancer stratagy and try that as well. Three years into this hobby, with over 30 years of engineering experience, and I still feel like a kid learning for the first time. Every time I think I have something figured out about these toys I learn something new. It sure is great to be a part of the RCM crew, where we all share what we learn along the way. I really do love these Axial beadlock rims though. After hearing some of the comments on here about the Maximizers I am curious to know how much different they are from the Axial's?? I like using the 40 series tires though, because of the very short sidewall. Less flexing to worry about in turning.
