Beadlock vs Gluing

Has anyone used these in a hi-power application? I'm wondering if it's stronger than glue. You could do both I guess. Just curious. There might be a cheaper option, but most are more $$.

Okay, I have another request for tips on how you guys do a clean job of gluing your tires to the wheels. I previously asked for an easy way of removing chrome from the inner channels so that tires will glue there better, but beyond that, depending...

I just use CA . Wipe away any unwanted with acetone.
Don't try this with chrome rims, though. ;)

Is there a way to glue carbon fiber pieces together? I want to make a radio plate tub out of carbon fiber, but don't know how to glue them together. I know your suppose to put ca glue on the edges so it doesn't separate.

Last post

i use CA to seal CF edges (it soaks into the fibres)
but use Epoxy when i sandwich 2 CF sheets to double its thickness

sounds like you're making a gingerbread house if all you're doing is gluing flat panels into a box.

Not sure how 'strong' the...

Thought I'd post a few photos of some modular bead lock wheels I've been working on. I bought a pair of 2.2 sand paddle tires for the snow season. Turns out they are 1/2 wider than the tires I now run. Instead of making another pair of rims I...

Finally got some decent snow. I mounted the paddle tires on all 4. The fronts are the original rear stock size.

Here I am again with another technical question. My problem is, I'm always trying to do things differently, and that means custom-fit applications always require research, and when that fails, help. :oops:

Anyway, I'm looking at using a set of...

Last post

Thanks for your reply. I'd buy them if only I could get an answer on how wide a specific set of narrow wheels are. The eBay seller hasn't answered a single question over the past 48 hours, and it's over 24 hours for a tech support reply from the...
