Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your GLOBACT RC Crawler Tires onto your beadlock wheels:

  1. Prepare Wheels: Ensure your 1.9in beadlock wheels are clean and free from debris.
  2. Insert Foam Inserts: Carefully insert the provided foam lining sponges into each tire. The foam should sit snugly inside the tire, filling the cavity to provide proper support.
  3. Mount Tire to Wheel:
    • Place one side of the tire bead onto the inner lip of one half of the beadlock wheel.
    • Position the other half of the beadlock wheel, ensuring the tire bead is properly seated between the two halves.
    • Align the screw holes of the wheel halves.
  4. Secure with Screws: Insert and tighten the screws (typically provided with your beadlock wheels, not the tires) to secure the two halves of the wheel together, clamping the tire beads firmly in place. Tighten screws evenly in a star pattern to ensure even pressure and prevent warping.
  5. Check Fitment: Once installed, ensure the tire is seated correctly on the wheel and rotates freely without wobbling.

Operating Guidelines

These tires are designed for off-road RC crawling. To maximize performance and tire life:

  • Terrain: Utilize on varied terrains such as dirt, rocks, grass, and loose surfaces where their deep tread pattern can provide optimal grip.
  • Avoid Harsh Surfaces: While durable, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt can accelerate wear.
  • Driving Style: The tires are designed for crawling and trail driving. Aggressive high-speed driving or drifting on hard surfaces may cause premature wear.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your RC tires:

  • Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy or dusty conditions, clean the tires with a soft brush and water to remove dirt and debris from the treads. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  • Drying: Allow tires to air dry completely before storage to prevent mold or mildew, especially if foam inserts are present.
  • Storage: Store tires in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. UV exposure can cause rubber to harden and crack over time.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect tires for cuts, tears, or excessive wear. Replace damaged tires to maintain optimal performance and prevent further issues.
  • Foam Inserts: Periodically check the foam inserts for compression or damage. Worn-out foams can affect tire performance and shape.
