I have a Rampage MT with a OBR 30.5cc race ported engine. I am running ProLine Trenchers with Hostile foams. I run 5T rear wheels all the way around. I can't keep the outer beadlocks on the tires.
I have wrapped the foams. Three wraps of Gorilla tape. I have got the Silverback beadlocks.
I have read the issues where they guys running twins are having same issues.
So, what to do?
Glue foams to the wheels?
What glue?
Use RTV and not Silicone?
RTV the beadlocks?

Some help here please.
Thanks

I have decided to reinstall the stock monster tires. I am going to run them until they are slicks!
 
I have good luck with just a dot of CA glue on each "lip or tab" of the tire. It holds enough for all but the fastest of brushless setups with higher wheel speed, but not so much that a drop of acetone won't loosen the bond for removal. It gives you enough wiggle room when you loosen the beadlocks to work it off. All of the other glue and cements tried left boogers........
 
I used Gorilla gel super glue, left over night all looked fine then took her out on the road an within 50 meters the tire started disintegrating and it split my whole bloody tire!!! Only used 6 very small dots ! Wouldn't recomend that glue atleast. All good now brought some knobblys for the dirt.... Kicks up a lot of dirty and the hips x10 times better!!!

Indeed super glue will melt the rubber tires: why they all say to use CA glue.
