Badland Tires on Maximizer Rims

[dgetson]

So I installed some Badlands on some Maximizer rims, but there is a little space between the faceplate and the tube. I was just wondering if this is normal. I was also wondering if you are suppose to put holes in the tires since the Maximizer beadlocks don't have holes in them.

Thanks

did u use the rings that were included with the wheels you need to use those rings with the badlands.

no you don't need to put holes in the tires.

Yes i used the rings that were included with the badlands.

To clarify I used the rings that were included with the maximizer rims when I installed the Badland tires on the maximizer rims.

then you need to tighten them some more

I was afraid of stripping the holes in the beadlock, but I tightened all the screws up and now everything is flush.

Thanks

get the rings outta there. they are for "thin bead" tires (whatever that means).

i mounted my losi zombies on max beads about 3 years ago and still going strong.

i thought pro line tires are thin bead tires

in maximizers' site it states that the inner rings should be used with badlands?

I used the rings on my Dirt Claws... They look pretty similar.

I just bought a set of maximizers and badlands. I couldnt use the 2 wheel shims that come with it. The 2mm or so with the rings on wouldnt work. I took the rings off and they fit like a glove. I puleld and tugged the sidewalls to see if the bead would come loose and it wouldn't. Its on there good.

What I did forget to do is drill holes in the badlands. I noticed it after I put the last one together.

I had asked about putting holes in the badlands too... I was told that you don't have to put holes in the tires. you can just leave them as they are.
