Does anyone know how to put a 3 piece wheel together. It seems simple but the tire headlock isn't locking the tire?
 
Got pics? What tire and what wheel we talking about here?
 
Ogrc wheels and ill get some pics for you.

Ahh. RC4WD stamped steelie clones.

Watch this...

One thing I do differently is I insert the foam. Then i grab the tire through the center and stretch it, rotating it around and repeating a fee times. That helps get the foam to settle into a "free resting position".
 
Those wheels can be a bit tricky, depending on the tire. I have a set of injora stamped steelies with proline tires, and they took a few tries to get the beads to sit right.
You could try putting a bit of windex on the tire bead to help it seat properly
 
I just spit on the sidewalls to get them to slide in easier... Do what you want with that information.

Yeah, but I got them together now, I had to separate the wheels and I had the hex nut in the inside of the wheel, but it goes on the outside of the wheel. Thanks for the help though
