Great video bro....im gonna try that cooking spray trick....un fortunately i have some Gmade plastic beadlocks....first time trying them....but ive never had trouble with metal beadlocks....again thanks for the video....👍👍👍✌😁
Man I hope it helps? lol!!! If I can save one person the aggravation I went through to figure it out? I’ll be happy! 👍👊🤘🍻Thanks a lot for watching bro. Always love your comments dude! 😎👌
Absolutely fantastic advice and Tip, lucky enough I've had no problems with any of my wheels put at least I know what to do if I have a problem fantastic video as always Brother 👍🥰👍
Thank you mate. I never expected to have such a hard time with these rims? So if I can save one person from getting as frustrated as I was before I figured this out? Then It was all worth it brother! 👍👊👌🤘 Thanks for watching Tony. Always like hearing from ya dude. 😁😎
I messed with these for weeks! I used the 2 long screws with the cooking oil trick on a set of Proline Badlands (no foam) and it was like- boom! done. Thanks for the help! Also didn't know they were non-hex so will need to order the correct hubs.
None hex?! I have three pairs of these wheels now & they all came with hex-hubs. Good to know different methods work. 👍 Thanks so much for the feedback & watching.
What a great idea man😁👍 I been having a heck of a time trying to get the tires to seat. The tire would keep pulling out from the rim. I would buy you lunch if you was in my area. Them wheels are nice. Nice to see a less stressful way to get the job done. The tires I was trying to mount are the 1.9 Pitbulls Rock Beast tires on the rc4wd deep dish wagon wheels. Thank you for the info your a cool dude to help out. Crawl it up!!
Thanks man! Apparently it doesn’t work for all tires? lol! But if it works for you, I’m happy to hear it bud! Thank you so much for leaving the awesome comment. 👍👊 All the very best to you! 🍻
After an hour of swearing at them beadlocks I gave up and found your vid here. Funny thing is I used butter and it works! Thanks a lot mate. Really helpful video.
Mike Rakowski cheers bud! 🍻 glad it was helpful & you enjoyed it. Thanks for telling me. I really appreciate it. 👍 Hope you, all your family and friends are safe & healthy.
Thanks for watching. I’ve been told it doesn’t work for every tire, but I’m happy to hear if it worked for you. Yes the wheels that it worked for me are RC4WD. 👍
Thank you for publishing this video. I am having terrible luck with my amazon special aluminum wheels and pro-line boggers. I tried this, but it did not work for me. Keep up the good work, sir
I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you. I guess there are some wheels that prolines just won’t go on? I had another person tell me they couldn’t put the tires on the rims that came together as a set from Amazon?
Thanks for coming by to watch & leaving a nice comment dude! Hope you never encounter stubborn tires bud, but if you do? I really hope this was helpful. Cheers man! I’ll be sure to come by your channel to watch too. 👍👊🍻
If the wheels you have go together easy with the tires you’re using? Then don’t bother with this trick? It’s really just if your having a hard time like the examples I gave. Thank you so much for watching though! 👍👊👌🍻😁
@@rcwreck-creation I have a tough time with my SSD beadlocks and some brands of tires. Hyrax are usually tough, I think this trick is going to be the exact fix for that.
Great video man very informative cool tip. Have you tried putting a nut and bolt right through the center and just tighten the nut. But I will give this a try
I did try that. That method almost worked for me actually, but I only tightened it up enough to catch the threads of the screws to the hub and then the bead popped out wile I was trying to tighten it the rest of the way with the lugs? Apparently the stock tires on the Gen8 have trouble with a lot of aftermarket wheels? So it could just be my tires that we’re giving the extra hard time? Really appreciate the suggestion though bro! 👍👊🍻
I hear ya there man! I wish I’d got these for my rig? LOL!!! I love the weight of them too! I also like the idea of them rusting a bit as they get older, just like real steelies!? Definitely some of the nicest scale wheels we’ve seen out there! I can’t see myself buying any other brand in the future? 👍👌
I like your idea and I’m going to do it………. One ?, what if I have a wider tire, like yours, but a skinny rim, not by much. I have the steel rims but not as wide, then I have new 4.19/1.9 proline KM3 . The rubber just kicks out when I push the outer rim on?
I have those same wheels and having problems like everybody else the only thing I can see is the tires you used were already mounted and took shape some of these newer tires you buy are so out of shape they seem almost impossible to get on there the first time.. the last set of tires I bought the phone was too big for the tire it was a heck of a job getting that crap together.. I always Mark the inner and outer parts of the wheels before I put them in the tires so I will know how to line up the spoke and nut holes...
Really appreciate you sharing your experience. Hope the video helped a little bit at least? Even if it was another method that didn’t work for ya, sometimes we learn more from what doesn’t work than we do in what did work I guess? Thanks for watching. 👍
Great tip man! I was trying to install mine and I got so frustrated it took me two hours to do all my four tires into the beadlock! And still don’t look right! That I gave up getting them right and left them like that! I bought the rc4wd Land Rover 1.9 heritage stamped steel wheels and tried to install them into the dirt grabber tires and it was just a pain to do that my fingers where hurting! Do you think that tip will work on my beadlocks?!
What about internal beadlock wheels like the Mickey Thompson's? The back piece is only a ring but the gap is to big with the short screws included. Any tips?
Sorry not familiar with them. This video is about a very specific tire & rim. When I made it was after many people I knew told me they had issues with the same tire & rim. Wish I could help you with any issue you have with any product, but I just don’t have that much experience with crawler stuff. Thanks for your question comment anyways. 👊
I've tried basically all the methods, and this one sadly doesn't work for my wheel/tire combo. I'm trying to put together the rc4wd heritage edition stamped steel beadlocks and proline hyrax.
Finally, someone with enough common-sense to figure out the correct way to mount a tire. We all want our rigs to be as close to realistic as possible, right? Well, go to your local tire shop and watch as the tire tech lubes the bead of the tire before him starts to mount it on the rim! Just think about things realistically and bam!! Common- sense... Ain't so common nowadays. 👍
I tried the cooking oil method and it centers better but I realized if your tire is square cut and thicker rubber then some tires the bead will always kick out no matter what. You can glue your beadlocks and they might seat right other then that some tires and rims just don't fit
@@tomrawrzzz5096 yeah, I hear ya! I know it doesn’t work for every combination of wheel & tire. There’s been a couple people that have told me it didn’t work for them. A lot more have said it did work for them? So like everything us humans come up with, nothing is 100% or perfect? 😀 Thank you for watching, trying, and leaving feedback. Really appreciate it! 👍
lol!!! You could use anything that’ll act as a lubricant? I just wanted to use something that almost everyone has at home already as an example. Great question dude! Thanks for watching. 👍
I would guess that it’ll work? Couldn’t confirm that for sure, cause I haven’t tried using any petroleum products before? As long as it’s safe for the rubber of the tire? Honestly I’m no guru on the subject. I can only confirm what worked for me. If you use something else and it works out better, I’d love to hear about it?
So wat u do is get a screw that goes thru the middle of the rim that fits the nut that locks the wheeel of the rim n u screws it down n compress the rim 2gthr evenly n easier..
The way I did it, the beads were locked in before I put the first screw in. The other thing to consider is that not everyone has the right size nut & bolt to do it that way ether? Most people will have a cooking spray. Or margarine/butter. Or some kind of lubricant around the house. So If that’s what worked for you that’s awesome.👌🍻 thanks for the input.
I’ve got vanquish beadlock wheels and correct size tire and I cannot assemble them without ripping the bead. I just don’t understand why I cannot squeeze the wheels together without ripping the bead.
Wow! Really? That’s crazy!?... now is it being “ripped” or cut? There is a difference.... If it’s being ripped, well that involves a lot of force that you shouldn’t have to apply? But if it’s being cut, then that means the thickness of the rubber may be to much for those wheels? So the space that locks the bead is to small for the thickness of the tire and the sharp edges of the inner ring is just slicing into the rubber when it’s tightened down? I can’t say for sure without seeing myself, but that’s all I can com up with from what your asking me?
If it is being cut, see if you can find a thinner (by like a millimetre or 2) inner-ring for the wheels? Or try a tire that’s a thinner gage of rubber?..... wish I could offer more help then that bud.
@@joeyroberts3090 sorry to hear that. Not every tire works with every wheel. If you know the brand & name of both rim & tire? Try a search with both (part #s would also be a good search.)? See if many are having the same issue with those exact parts, & maybe someone has a solution? If you don't have brands or part #s? I don't really know what to tell ya boss. I appreciate the comment though.
@@joeyroberts3090Sorry, if what I suggested wasn't much of a "tip or trick"? Unfortunately I can't really say much about a specific tire and/or rim that I've had no experience with? My video, is about a specific rim & tire set up. I once again apologize, if there isn't anything useful for you in it as well? Hope you can solve the problem?
@@rcwreck-creation yep when i put the cooking spray on there itl slide down and get in place. but my problem is keeping it on there when i start screwing them it starts to slide out and there always a tiny section that will slip out. crazy silly lip
Personally I’m happy with how well the cooking spray worked. So “would petroleum jelly work better?” I can’t really answer that. I can’t see any reason petroleum jelly wouldn’t work (if used properly). Another thing I’m thinking is: Once the tire is on? The petroleum jelly is going to stay longer while the cooking spray will most likely dissipate & rinse off more quickly? I could also be wrong about that too? So the most honest answer I can give is I’m not very familiar with petroleum jelly. Thanks so much for the good question. I hope the video was enjoyable, & helped you, even to think of an even better way to do it? Thanks again.
I have screwed up the finish on 1 rim. .I have new set of crawlers to mount. on those new RC4WD I SCREWED UP. 3 DAYS OF SCREWING UP 1 RIM LOL. so I GOT SO PISSED OFF. I went to my hobby store and bought the gen8 purple Scoutt II. and told my wife it was a new RC or I continue with these wheels in the same room as her.. LMAO!! @@rcwreck-creation
@@grumpy1469 😅 Had to be done! 👍😎 The V2 Gen8 is a pretty awesome rig for the cost. Should keep ya cheered up, for a bit, until you see those rims again.... 🤣 Sorry man, thanks so much for sharing your experience with these wheels. I hope you have more success in your next attempt bro?
@@rcwreck-creation Im not good looking enough to make a video or be in front of a camera. Trust me. Anyway, no matter what I have done to my Rally rc4wd beadlocks, the bead still slips out of lock. Personally, I think it's just a bad design. And I used the same tire rim combo they were advertising with those rims. They show them on a yellow Blazer.
@@sagnhill Sorry to hear that man! That was one of the problems I had too! I’d get to the point where I thought everything was good & lined up properly & by the time I had tightened up all the screws, sure enough part of the bead of the tire would slip out. So I totally get what you’re saying & I do talk a little about that in the video too. I now have 3 sets of these RC4WD deep dish wheels, did the same process from this video to all of them & not one bead-slip-out yet (knock on wood). I can’t guarantee it’ll work for everyone, but it’s worked every time with 3different sets of tires for me so far. Not to mention I’ve taken two sets completely apart to change foams too, & didn’t have any issues assembling again with this method.
@@rcwreck-creation Im going to try one last time on my rc4wd Blazer. I did exactly like you did with your rims and tires. Even using PAM. She was willing too. Bad joke I know. But it was there and I used it. :) I did the fronts and so far, so good. Fingers crossed. I'll remount the tires on the rear axle tonight. I suscribed to your channel. Im 60 years old getting back into the RC hobby after 40 years of work and family. So far I have built the Tamiya reissue of the RN36 Bruiser, and a TT-02 NSX with the YeahRacing converstion kit. Plus I have a proboat a SCX10II and a wraith spawn. All with hopups. I cant leave em stock. I just bought a sand scorcher. I had one back in the day. I have a list of about 40-50 RCs I want to build and RTRs I want to buy. Retirement has its perks. I just wish they had youtube back in the 70s and 80s. Sure would have made life easier.
@@sagnhill HAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!!! “She was willing!” Loved that joke hope you don’t mind if I use it when I have a chance? That’s awesome man! So glad it seems to be working for you bud! 👍 You & I have similar RC-pasts & I too have built an RC from my childhood as well since getting back into the hobby a few years ago after about 20years off of it. Thank you so much for the subscribe, support & great conversation. So what do you think of these LiPo batteries now? Wish we had those 20years ago!? 🍻👍
Was a little mean of a comment, my bad....I tried for about 4hrs straight on one tire. I ended up just putting them back in the box and I’m shipping it back to Amazon. Guess it was the wrong size tread is why it wasn’t working. I’m just going to go with premounted...
All good bud! Trust me, I know how frustrating bead lock rims & tires can be. I really am sorry my remedy didn’t work for ya. I’d never hold anybody’s frustration against them. Do you mind if I ask, what tires & rims you were working on?
Are those gen 8 tires? Because I was trying to mount them on rc4wd rims and couldn't get it, the bead on the rubber tire seemed to thick
Yes brother! I know exactly what you mean & I came up with a way that has worked & is still working for me after 2days of crawling now. 👌

Another thing I’m thinking is: Once the tire is on? The petroleum jelly is going to stay longer while the cooking spray will most likely dissipate & rinse off more quickly? I could also be wrong about that too? So the most honest answer I can give is I’m not very familiar with petroleum jelly.
Thanks so much for the good question. I hope the video was enjoyable, & helped you, even to think of an even better way to do it?
Thanks again.
what am i doing wrong? i keep on pushing the rim thru the tire
Sounds like the tire rubber is to thin to be caught in the inner ring? Wish I could help ya better than that man?..
I have screwed up the finish on 1 rim. .I have new set of crawlers to mount. on those new RC4WD I SCREWED UP. 3 DAYS OF SCREWING UP 1 RIM LOL. so I GOT SO PISSED OFF. I went to my hobby store and bought the gen8 purple Scoutt II. and told my wife it was a new RC or I continue with these wheels in the same room as her.. LMAO!! @@rcwreck-creation
@@grumpy1469 😅 Had to be done! 👍😎 The V2 Gen8 is a pretty awesome rig for the cost. Should keep ya cheered up, for a bit, until you see those rims again.... 🤣 Sorry man, thanks so much for sharing your experience with these wheels. I hope you have more success in your next attempt bro?
Use rubbing alcohol. It lubes then evaporates
Oh cool! I’ll try that next time. 👍 thanks for the heads up and watching. Really appreciate the tip. 🍻

Didn't work
Sorry man. Thanks for watching.
Might be helpful to others if you wrote what wheels & tires it didn’t work with? We can learn more from failures than successes.
Just use soap and water.
Sure man, make a video & show how it’s done?
@@rcwreck-creation Im not good looking enough to make a video or be in front of a camera. Trust me.
Anyway, no matter what I have done to my Rally rc4wd beadlocks, the bead still slips out of lock. Personally, I think it's just a bad design. And I used the same tire rim combo they were advertising with those rims. They show them on a yellow Blazer.
@@sagnhill Sorry to hear that man! That was one of the problems I had too! I’d get to the point where I thought everything was good & lined up properly & by the time I had tightened up all the screws, sure enough part of the bead of the tire would slip out. So I totally get what you’re saying & I do talk a little about that in the video too.
I now have 3 sets of these RC4WD deep dish wheels, did the same process from this video to all of them & not one bead-slip-out yet (knock on wood). I can’t guarantee it’ll work for everyone, but it’s worked every time with 3different sets of tires for me so far. Not to mention I’ve taken two sets completely apart to change foams too, & didn’t have any issues assembling again with this method.
@@rcwreck-creation Im going to try one last time on my rc4wd Blazer. I did exactly like you did with your rims and tires. Even using PAM. She was willing too. Bad joke I know. But it was there and I used it. :) I did the fronts and so far, so good. Fingers crossed. I'll remount the tires on the rear axle tonight. I suscribed to your channel.
Im 60 years old getting back into the RC hobby after 40 years of work and family. So far I have built the Tamiya reissue of the RN36 Bruiser, and a TT-02 NSX with the YeahRacing converstion kit. Plus I have a proboat a SCX10II and a wraith spawn. All with hopups. I cant leave em stock. I just bought a sand scorcher. I had one back in the day. I have a list of about 40-50 RCs I want to build and RTRs I want to buy. Retirement has its perks. I just wish they had youtube back in the 70s and 80s. Sure would have made life easier.
@@sagnhill HAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!!! “She was willing!” Loved that joke hope you don’t mind if I use it when I have a chance?
That’s awesome man! So glad it seems to be working for you bud! 👍
You & I have similar RC-pasts & I too have built an RC from my childhood as well since getting back into the hobby a few years ago after about 20years off of it.
Thank you so much for the subscribe, support & great conversation. So what do you think of these LiPo batteries now? Wish we had those 20years ago!? 🍻👍
Your trick doesn’t work..
Sorry. Just cause it worked for me, I guess nothing works for everyone? Thanks for watching anyways. I hope you do find what works for you. 👍🍻
Was a little mean of a comment, my bad....I tried for about 4hrs straight on one tire. I ended up just putting them back in the box and I’m shipping it back to Amazon. Guess it was the wrong size tread is why it wasn’t working. I’m just going to go with premounted...
All good bud! Trust me, I know how frustrating bead lock rims & tires can be. I really am sorry my remedy didn’t work for ya. I’d never hold anybody’s frustration against them. Do you mind if I ask, what tires & rims you were working on?

Wow! So you bought tires & rims together, and they didn’t work with each other? I really understand your disappointment now bud!
