I’ve teamed up with Little Guy Racing Parts to create an instructional video series. This first episode is on beadlock wheels! Install begins at 1:03

Are all little guys wheel vented or only the cyclones?

For mounting the inner and outer face if you have paper clips, or a smaller hex wrench you can put them through the screw holes and two sides to line it up. Then get your first screw in and go from there.

Paper clip method is a great one!

Beginner series is a great idea.

Awesome! Just followed this for my first attempt at assembling Injora beadlocks and tyres!

Thank you so much! I bought wheel/tire set from a different vendor and there were no instructions. Much appreciated.

Love this idea! Excited to see more from this series

I really appreciate the beginner series, thank you for doing it.

This is perfect! I’ve watched hours of videos on micro crawlers already but there are some things I’m still not 100% on, assembly being one of them.

Try using a little bit of water based lubricant on the bead of the tire. It helps when tightening the outer beadlocks. It keeps the rubber from pinching and it seats much better.

Great idea for a series, I've been hovering over the buy button for weeks on an scx24 so I'll be watching intently. All your videos are very helpful. I want the C10, big fan of your C10. I've been holding off hoping they magically release it with the V2 electronics. Would you say v1 electrics are a deal breaker now with V2 out and I should looked at the Jeep instead? No plans for brushless at this stage.

@CapeCrawlers

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't let the V1 electronics steer you away. The V2 is smoother, but the V1 is still close. Plus the three speed modes on the V1 is nice for adjustment. You can always buy a V2 set on ebay or the Facebook marketplace.

Great video on the 3 piece wheel ,and you can agree they're easy to install. But you should do a video of the 4 piece wheel that takes 30 minutes for each wheel, where you start with the outer ring. Not trying to be an ass, but most builders buy those, like the Injora black brass wheels. Everyone wants to show all the easy stuff to build. And Adam , i love all your videos. I've built my gladiator off of your videos with the Injora brass wheels , I look forward to building another build like your comp build, THANK YOU.

Hi everyone, what works great for me every time is using some alcohol spray on the parts of the tire where it gets seated. Makes life a lot easier to put everything together real quick. The spray evaporates after the mounting process. Doesn't 'hurt' the tire at all and you're done with a tire in a minute without breaking a sweat. Give it a try :)

New to the hobby. Picked a trx4m and an fcx18 same day. Just learned the steel stamped wheela from injora dont work on either of these rc's i thought maybe they would work on the scx18 if anything bc theyre plastic beadlocks out of the box but nope 😅

Hi Adam, nice video. Off topic. I'm noticing that you are using the flysky gt5 in lieu of the avatar on recent videos. Just wondering what is causing you to switch??

@CapeCrawlers

Two things: 1) I am running out of space on the avatar, and 2) I wanted to try something different to get a broader perspective of what's available.

When I did mine I did the star pattern as if you were to put wheels on a car.

I have a set of endura rims with Nikki Thompson tires from traxas with mom's, and it seems like it will not let me assemble them properly. Seems like there's air in the system. Do I put a hole in my tire to let the air out? So I can assemble the Beatbox correctly. Because it won't the way it is now. If somebody can give me help with this or if you can do a video at solves this problem so I understand but I've been trying to put these wheels together are literally 4 weeks and it's not getting anywhere. One wheels so f***** u*, it's not Bunny.

I have injora tire rims for my trx4m there are screws with different lengths why ?

@CapeCrawlers

They give you some long ones to use as starter screws. Use those to get your wheel started, using small screws elsewhere, then swap out the long ones for short ones. It makes assembly easier

Check out the last part of this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lnipmpmMp7ndoLw.html Basically there are some wheels that have a reversable design where you can gain ~4mm of width per side by attaching the wheel hub to what would traditionally be the front of the wheel
