Well, 2nd fantastic run! That OBR 30.5 really moves with the 990 carb and jet-pro pipe.
At the end of both runs I had to break the tires down and reset the out beads on the tires. Today I found out why. Ever seen a fuelie dragster do a burn out? Now I know when they say the tire grows. Talk to some folks and they suggested that running duct tape on the inserts will minimize this. Sounds reasonable?
What say you?
I have also learned where some folk run some silicone on the rim prior to fastening the out beadlock.
Again.....
What say you?
Off to fix tires.
Oh yeah, Love my MT!!!!
 
Tires still breaking outer beadlocks!

Every run the tires pop out of the outer beadlocks. I have wrapped the foams and using Silverback beadlocks.
Any other suggestions?
 
I use shoegoo on the inside beadlocks & a little bead of CA glue on the outside beadlocks, with tape in foam. DDM has longer beadlock screws with locking nuts for the back. Hope this helps.

Ordered the long hardware with the nuts and washers. Also ordered the silverback wood screw fix. I am going to solve this.
