Tamiya CR-01 Land Cruiser Build Up

Now we have the beadlock wheels. These are ACTUAL beadlocks, meaning they use a TON of tiny screws to hold the tire in place instead of glue. This can be a huge money saver if you switch tires a lot (no more buying rims).

Below is a shot of the tire seated on the bead.

Now we start to insert the screws. I like to use the star method when installing these screws. (I.E. start with 1 screw, then do the screw across from it on the other side of the rim, then do the screw between those 2 and work your way around, this way the tire tends to stay seated better while you tighten everything up.

Here we have all 4 tires done up and ready to mount. 80 screws later..

    Awesome build, so detailed I could follow it instead of the instructions!;) I love these trucks and can’t wait to see how it turns out.
