Made a tire upgrade to my Redcat Ridgerunner.

Love the new look but what's the 200 screws for? No instructions. Still have to trim the body out and get some extension to put wheels out farther. Also got wrong aluminum lift bars, 324mm too long, guess I need the 313mm, I hate their is no info on what fits what, especially for the Ridgerunner, aggravating to say the least.

Looks great. My guess would be with the extra bolts, you can make it more bead lock realistic.

I have a set of Proline tyres and rims. I removed the screws from the sides of the rims, which were there for decoration, I guess. I wanted less spinning mass, which is why I removed them. Not sure if that is your case, but was the first thing I thought of when I saw that bag of screws.

Those wheels look good on there. It looks like those screws go in the beadlock rings. Are those fake beadlocks? If that is the case, the screws are just for looks. They should mount in the ring like these do.

As for the trimming... it looks like your body is sitting a bit forward of where it needs to be. If it is on the body posts in that pic, what I would do it slot the holes for the posts to push the body back a bit, then use E6000 or Shoe Goo to glue some scrap lexan in and fill in the slot completely, then redo the holes through the newly added lexan. Do you have a body reamer?

Welcome! Awesome looking rig! Yep- the extra screws are for the beadlocks rings. And probably a few more extra on that. Maybe even extra for the centers. All my beadlock kits provided extras.

Thanks guys, looks like you can put them on or not. Put on one wheel, was a pain, might just leave them out.
