Pro-Line Hyrax Tire Review - How to Mount Beadlock Wheels

The Pro-Line Hyrax tire has proven to be a great option for both crawling and going fast in scale rigs. Add the Pro-Line Dual Stage Inserts for some added stability when running brushless higher voltage systems. In this video I show how I mount some Hyrax tires, Dual Stage inserts to some SSD RC wheels for my new Losi Rock Rey.
Here's some items mentioned in this video:

SSD RockStar Aluminum Wheels: bit.ly/3azGPpM

One hole on the inner sidewall should be good, some beadlocks come with a hole built in to the rim like the vanquishes. One dude on youtube saying he puts like 8 a tire, to me that's dumb but the worlds full of it.

Hi there! Great video! I know that this is an old video, but I noticed that you said if you're going to be using high voltage or brushless to go with the dual stage foams. But what if your rig is on the heavy side? I did mount these 1.9" with the dual stage foams on aluminum beadlock wheels for my Gen8 crawler. So should I just use the factory Hyrax foams for crawling? After mounting them I had 3 out of 4 wobble bad. So I will try try again while watching this video 3 more times lol! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks!

I have not heard of venting tires before. For whatever reason, in all the years that I have been bashing and sometimes racing RCs, The only car that I have had a problem with trash in my tires was on my Traxxas Ken Block I/16 scale rally car. I have three sets of tires of different types, rally, slick, and drift. They all filled with sand like dirt through the wheel vent holes, which were very tiny. I tried to shake them out with little success. I had to drill out the wheel vents, and was, after quite some time shaking, I emptied the wheels of dirt. Will venting work on on-road tires also?

@dallinostler4794 5 жыл бұрын

adding holes on the actual tread is a bad idea... for a number of reasons, not only will it cause your you foam to become more of a sponge when driving in wet conditions, mud and rocks will harden inside, over time causing your tires to warp and become extremely unbalanced. Also increase the chances of the holes to get caught on rocks and other debris that would enlarge the whole or rip the tire completely. To vent the wheel properly, holes should be drilled in the back side of the rim.

@TheRCNetwork 5 жыл бұрын

Dallin Ostler venting Tires/wheels has always been a controversial topic - for dry conditions like what I race in, venting the tire is best, especially since running the car allows dirt, debris, etc to exit the tire. I’ve never had a tire rip, tear, etc - and I have used this method on 50+ sets of tires now. I can see how venting the wheel can help in water conditions, but once again, I’m not describing that.

This was a set up for a race application....plus to get the full benefit of a dual stage foam or most foam period, you do need to vent the tire.
