Rocks getting in wheels

[GrudgE]

Ok I am running a set of beadlocks with Imex pinns. My problem is depending on the area i run if there are any rocks the size of a marble or better, I can guarantee with in 1 minute one will jam itself in between my wheel and axle carrier. Causing the wheel to stop and just doing donuts. I know others must have this issue also I believe the only course of action is to use these on a track only problem is I dont go to the track enough.

I has happened to me a few times.

Not much you can really do about it except to run someplace else. It is just a roll of the dice though.

You can also use 40 series wheels/tires since the inside diameter is larger will make the rocks less likely to jam.

i had that problem also and i solved it with the oversized axle carriers from RPM

nope doesn't work already have them on the front still gets in there. Matter of fact I got the beadlocks from Fastredenu so i believe these where once yours.

Got room to place a lexan shield across the arm--covering the affected area?

I thought about this option, possibly shaping some lexan into a cone shape and putting it in behind the wheel. But I figure I will use these wheels and tires on hard pack and just keep using mt RPM Revoler with the stable maxx offset and badlands for everything else. the wide offset on the stable maxx pretty much keeps everything out.

yes those were my old wheels i traded to fasterthanyou for his 40 series bowties.

they are maxximizer beadlocks. I'm pretty sure if you go on there website you can get the crawler ring for it. there about 5-7 bucks a pop though. maybe that will help or get a bigger offset.

heres the link for the 3/4 offset faceplates:

and heres the link for the rock rings, since there beadlock wheels. the rock rings go on both the inside and outside of the wheels. thats why i bought the beadlocks in the first place cause 1. maxximizer makes very good wheels 2. you can go through alot of tires before even having to buy wheels again 3. you can put the upgrades on them for different applications. i think the rock rings will solve your problem, can't beat that for $17 bucks:

you can even make both sets of wheels the same color for a few bucks more. i just got the black and blue cuz of the color scheme of my revo. any color or offset, even aluminum they have which i hear are very good also
