You should try putting .7 beadlocks together 😉
But Doom's right. It gets easier. You need some extra long screws. Insert the clamp ring into the tire and try to center it, making sure the lip of the tire is on the inside of the clamp ring. Press the front of the wheel into the lip of the tire...
Oh, I see what you were thinking. You thought I was thinking AE stood for Associated Element. But no, I meant I thought the element trucks were listed as Associated Electrics Element (sub name here). I've been an AE fan since the RC10, so yeah, I knew what AE was ;)

The Axial SCX trucks have tons of hopup parts available for them. But if I were going to drop $500 on a RTR crawler, I'd buy a Vanquish I think. I don't own any 10th scale crawlers yet, but I am pretty sure after doing some research, talking to the guys here, and watching videos that I would be...
