I'm not having luck with my axial beadlocks. They are constantly losing the bead, and now the inner lip is crushing just like the pro-line beadlocks did. My maximizers are still holding...........

Thanks Harold for sharing the experience on the Axial beadlocks. Mybe we can try some thin double sticky tape under teh locking ring to hold the tire in?? Just trying to think of a solution since the beadlocks are such a great idea.

I'm trying clear silicone. It sucks, I like the axials. The inside ring the beadlock screws thread into is cracking off as well. High speed passes would hold up, but i do a lot of bashing and powersliding.

The silicon is just too flexible not to mention messy. If you can get your hands on some double sticky tape like carpet tape it is not only easy to work with, but comes off a lot easier when you want it to. Just put a strip of it around the metal ring so it will help keep the tire in place. I am doing the same with my wheels, as I now have 4 sets of the Axial brand, with another set on the way. Let me know how things work out for you.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
