*********!!CAUTION, THREAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!***********


***************Snazzy "add" lingo goes below****************









******************* Pictures go here **********************



PLEASE SEE POST NUMBER 28 FOR MORE INFO









***Some nonsense about something that no one reads goes here***











***This is where I brag about how cool I am and how amazing my product is***









*************************Specs go here********************





We all know how most of these threads go. Big egos getting in the way of what is real, the product you are buying. Well, I started out with the 2.2 Beadlocks almost 2 years ago and now the REAL Erickson Beadlocks are back and better then ever. All that junk above will be filled out soon enough but how about what you guys really want?





*************************Price******************** *******

























$39.99 a PairMSRP






Yes, that comes up to $79.98MSRP for a full set of (4) machined Delrin 2.2 beadlock wheels with 3003 aluminum lock rings and 3x10mm hardware. Bling is not my thing, a product that works at a price most anyone can afford is.


More to come about these wheels soon. Also, look for other Eritex Inc. products in the Vendors section on RCC.



Thanks for reading,

[dezfan]

Sweet, the OGs return!:twisted:

[dieselfuel]

sounds good. ive been using ericksons on my 2.2 for a long time. cant wait to see these!

[Mnster]

Damn, I've been holding out for you to but these back on the market.

Any new designs?

[bcrofts]

sweet cant wate to get some

[themerc64]

Good to see the Delrin back! Gerame"thumbsup"

[BlueMonster]

I like your sales approach!

[LIKES2CRAWL]

A inner and outer hexed rim would be cool, so you could run it with full positive or negative offset.....dual purpose rim.....wide for TLT, etc....and narrow for 2.2 clods."thumbsup"

[Philistine]

Damn tease! :flipoff:

[red jim]

Sweet,the ones I've seen look great and my favorite part,when the holes get stripped by someone with all thumbs you rotate the ring and drill new holes.Thy that trick with Prolines or Axials.Cant wait to see if you do any new designs.You ever consider a hub design like create a crawler wheels for the adjustability of the offset?

[redbaron]

I picked up a set of these this weekend at the Midwest Challenge......."thumbsup"!

[yukon635]

heck, yeah. I like the price for some great beadlocks

[Rckcrwlr]

Great idea...I loved my OG's...

I like the idea of dual hexes though... ;-)

[mrpink]

I like your sales approach!

a real "less is more" style...."thumbsup"

p!nK

[STANG KILLA SS]

I like your sales approach!

i like your prices:lol:

[Eritex Inc.]

Pictures are in the camera. When I get to the shop I will see if I can get them up as soon as possible. Also, please notice the "MSRP" next to all pricing.

As far as the other designs talked about, this is just the first of many products to come. I will be releasing them as soon as they are tested and ready for sale to the public.

Thanks for all the positive responses so far. I hope some of the guys that picked up some sets in K.C. post pictures up soon. <--HINT!!

[binaryterror]

Will you also offer them in Aluminum? I like the added weight.

[Eritex Inc.]

Will you also offer them in Aluminum? I like the added weight.


Yes, but the prices and testing are not set and done on the AL ones yet. What kind of weight are you running? My Delrin ones are about 3 ounces a piece. I add anywhere from 3 to 4 ounces of lead for a grand total of 6 to 7 ounces per wheel.

[The Eye]

I picked up 2 sets at the Midwest challenge ... they are already mounted with mashers and badlands and are on the trucks.... they mounted up great, "hell Evan even put 2 tires together" and with the day off we're heading to the rocks....everyone should have a set or 2 ....

It is neat for me to see those wheels. I actually have the first set I ever made sitting on the bench at the shop to remind me where this started. Tends to keep me humble.

[redbaron]

Thanks for all the positive responses so far. I hope some of the guys that picked up some sets in K.C. post pictures up soon. <--HINT!!

Sorry, I haven't had time to mount any tires to them yet, but here are some pics.

[Etype R]

Digging the new rings, do you have other wheel desins with holes or slots as well? Not looking for anything fancey, but its nice to have a simple design cut into the wheel :)

[Eritex Inc.]

Any spoked wheel designs?

[bcrofts]

spoke would be sick

[Eritex Inc.]

Spoked designs are coming, no firm date yet.

[freetimecrawler]

Here's my Eritex (Erickson) Dirty Dozen BL's on my '08' comp rig.
Not a very good pic of the wheels, but it's all I have for now. I just mounted them Fri night before the 2.2 Indoor Midwest Challenge.
Easy to mount, and holds solid. I'll get some better pic's up later.

[JavelinSST390]

Hey Gerame! I don't know how I didn't see this thread (next time, tell me before you do this stuff, I already have pictures but didn't know where to post them)

I was lucky enough to be privy to one of the first sets of wheels out of the machine.

These things are SICK!!!!! And so far, have proven to be un-breakable!

My rig, however, has not. :lol::roll:

here's a list of parts on the Gremlin (WK axles) I've bent/ broken so far in testing these wheels:

Bent:
One stub axle
One rear link

Broken:
An Axle C,
the upper tab off one of my 3racing piggyback shocks
bent an upper shock mount
Stripped spur

Oh, and my steering servo is nearly completely dead.

I have BEATEN THE LIVING SNOT out of these wheels. I geared it out for about 30mph and launched it repeatedly, I geared it back down and drug my daughter all over the yard in her wagon (she's 36 lbs.) And I crawled the crap out of it everywhere I could.

Never popped a bead, never slipped a tire, never spun a hex.

And they just keep coming back for more. "thumbsup"

I'll have pictures of mine to post up as soon as I go home for lunch.

[Nicklepimp]

I picked up a used set of Ericksons a couple months ago. They have been great. I haven't had a single problem with tires slipping or comming out of the bead. I can't wait to try out some new ones."thumbsup"

[DARKHORSE]

This guy and his son are the luckiest people in the world!!! If you ever get the chance to stand next to him something good will happen like.....winning R/C kits at a comp:lol:.

Or winning a new Goat system"thumbsup""thumbsup"

Gerame, I will be purchasing a set here soon...

[Cloak]

With my newest order, I think I now own 6 pairs of these. I love the crap out of them and I won't buy anything else. I strayed once and I hated them. If you were going out of business tomorrow, I'd probably buy 5 more trucks worth so I wouldn't have to worry. They're just about the strongest parts on my trucks. :)

They also look pimp with the black and powdercoated rings. I don't have pics of the red bug body handy, but you can see the ring here. Have a look at some of the others too.

I picked these up used and there were rumors you might have made them.Did you ever build wheels with an angled bead? I recut these to a normal O-ring type bead and they work great! I love the flat face inside.Have you considered drilling and tapping a bolt circle to add weights? you could make different thickness of wieghts that would allow you to change the weight of your tire and wheel combo without taking off your tires and adding lead"thumbsup".http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/2/4821335899.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic/7698475)

Yes, you have some REALLY old school Erickson beadlocks. Those are Gen1 .

For the weight idea, Freetimecrawler and I were talking about that not more then 2 weeks ago. Getting the weights made as we speak. Troy had the idea at Moab 2 years ago and I am setting it up as an option.

[jason]

Had a chance to meet Gerame this weekend, what a great guy, and what a great product.

[JavelinSST390]

Gerame truly IS a great guy. He handed me one of the first sets out of the machine with the instructions I was "to beat them like redheaded stepchildren." :lol:

Okeedokee!

Here's a couple pics of mine. Mine are proto-types using some old rings he had left over, so I don't have the ultra-snazzy new ones.

Here they are the day I got them:
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/JavelinSST390/SL380352.jpg

And after dying them black: (the white ones take dye VERY well)

And some quick video of what the gremmie can do now that she's got these new shoes: (please forgive the dark and crummy video, it didn't look bad at all on the camera.)

[Eritex Inc.]

Okay guys and gals, the first batch of "Competition Heavies" came out of the mill about an hour ago. While they were running, I threw this design in MasterCAM to get started on them....

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a353/ShyGecko/split5spoke.jpg

I am calling them the "Split 5 Spoke". Price on these might be a touch higher (a couple bucks) then the first 3 designs. I need to check machine time to verify.

Glad to see you back!

By puck do you mean the Comp Heavies? If so, packaging should be done and the wheels ready to ship by Saturday.....

[Nicklepimp]

That Split 5 Spoke looks hot!"thumbsup"

[Thorsteenster]

Is that what they're called, Comp Heavies? Pretty much no dish, no design, just a nice chunk of delrin. Sell em in pairs or just sets?

[Cave Dave]

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/2/5420172120.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic/7734856) They still work great ! I did narrow them to 1 inch,and like I said I recut the bead to look like an O-ring groove. I'd have all 4 on but the center is busted on 1 of them. That's what gave me the weight idea was to use 2 discs bolted thru the wheel to hold the hex in. I was going to use Tungston for the weights so they would be small and heavhttp://img2.putfile.com/thumb/2/3609092274.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic/7625834)y. Love to see a pic when you get the weights done.

[Eritex Inc.]

I think I need to specify....


All wheels are sold in pairs (2 wheels)

You need 2 pairs of wheels to make 1 set of 4 wheels.


Please PM me if you get confused or ordered the wrong quantity. I believe I have everyones orders done correctly but it is always better to be safe then sorry.

These look good... when will these be available. I'd like to throw some on a Stampede.

[kawika]

I love my set of the solid wheels. Are these the heavy comp wheels people are talking about? How much do they weigh?

[Eritex Inc.]

Yes, those are like the Comp Heavy. They should weight in at around 4 oz. I need to throw some on the scale in the morning to get a firm number.




By the way, to all you guys that are posting and PM'ing ideas and comments, thank you. I don't know how to read minds just yet and you guys are the customer base I am aiming my products at. Keep it coming, I appreciate everyones input.


Gerame Erickson

[EeePee]

The top picture looks like a set of the old MSD Heavys. They are more or less a solid chunk, and weigh more like 10 ounces or so. There weren't many made. With a Badlands tire and Skwishy insert mine weigh in at 12.2 ounces.

Point being, the top wheel is different than the bottom wheel.

Carry on!

[Usmc8541]

I second that idea.

I have a set of original Erickson Beadlocks. Not one stripped hex, and not one stripped screw hole!

So when do the 1.9's come out? :-P

[Eritex Inc.]

So when do the 1.9's come out? :-P


Ummmm, soon. I still have the original 1.9 proto-types at my shop. I need to build the fixture, alter the 2.2 program , and test. Long shot, 90 days. More reasonable time frame would be 35 days. All depends on machine time.

[BlueMonster]

Nice. Will be priced as attractiy you think? I need a set of 1.9's for my Montana build!

6 sets of those that TEAM AVERY has been bashing on for a while and still holding up.
I won some new ones at the midwest challeng, waiting for some foams to go in the losi to mount on my kick azz DA BULL chassis.

[cman_1500w]

How wide are these wheels? I'd be interested if they come in a narrow width similar to the prolines. I'm running tlt axles still and have always narrowed my wheels on the inside for better clearance in steering.

Also like to see those 1.9's when they come out. I'd get 2 sets of those ;-)

[camel_rc]

Any chance you'll be making some 0 offset wheels for us WK guys?

The wheel is 1.250" wide without the rings. That is only a fiddy thou difference"thumbsup"

The rear ring (the one further back in the shot) is designed to keep from rubbing on steering arms and knuckles.

Keep the questions up, I am noting every one and am looking at doing as much as I can."thumbsup"

[chrisjlittle]

x2 on the WK offset wheels. Maybe you can make some more of those dual offset wheels? That would be ideal.

Its killing me not being able to show what I already have done:x. But I can't until I have enough stock built up to keep up with demand. The last thing I want is a bunch of ticked off customers because I show a picture of a product, give a price, and then tell them to wait for 2 weeks.



You guys are awesome"thumbsup"

Ben, I will see what I can do. It seems to be a simple enough design, I will play around in MasterCam in the next week or two and get back to you.

[Thorsteenster]

The wagon wheels would be sweet in white delrin......I think.

Finally took some quick pics Gerame.

I am sure I will get better ones later.

[Etype R]

Got my set in the mail yesterday, and I am very impressed with the quality of them :)

I just couldn't live with a blank rim though, so I played with a few design ideas in MasterCam after I ordered them. After I punched out from work, I started cutting a jig to hole the wheels in the CNC router. After getting the jig dialed in, I started cutting the wheels. They went pretty quick, and I am pleased with the results.

Again, these started as blank Eritex beadlocks and I cut my own design into them.

[JavelinSST390]

That is KOOL!!!! I dig that design. "thumbsup"

[Thorsteenster]

Are the comp heavies ready? Any chance you have some plain rings sitting around that will match my Gen1's? How do I order?

[Nicklepimp]

I got mine yesterday too. I got a set of the dirty dozen, so no need to cut out my own design.:lol::flipoff:(those do look good Mike). Of course I had to go with the stainless bolts. Oh, and did you know he sells weights too.:shock:

Mike, that design looks awesome, it really looks fantastic.

Kevin, that is pretty sad that a sponsored guy get pictures of products up before the manufacturer does. This weekend is going to be photo-shoot time at Eritex.

Also, the Comp Heavies. The are done and ready for sale. Once again, I have 80+ wheels done and not one picture taken:lol:. I need a photographer on staff to keep up with me. The one I have now is slacking.











































P.S.
If my current photographer (my lovely wife Kara) is reading this, just kidding :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgr een::mrgreen::mrgreen:

First thing I had to do was get an exacto Knife and hack away a little plastic..... but once i had the packaging cut away I got to bask in the milled goodness of my set of heavies.... Thanks again for providing this product at such a good price.

Thanks Gerame, I am happy with how they turned out. Now I just need to get some badland tires to try on these....

Kevin finally picked up a digital camera after I let him barrow my new point and shoot for the indoor comp. He fell in love with it, and now he is a picture taking whore :lol:


Photographers are lazy! I should know, I have a couple cameras and I am very lazy 8)

Just got my wheels today, and they are sweet, Heavies for the front and Solids for the rear. Also, just thought I'd mention, for those running RCP TLT CVD's, you'll need to drill out the center whole to fit on the CVD stub shaft.

Eritex Comp heavies took second at KCRC Comp #3 yesterday. What an amazing set of wheels.

Got my set in the mail yesterday, and I am very impressed with the quality of them :)

I just couldn't live with a blank rim though, so I played with a few design ideas in MasterCam after I ordered them. After I punched out from work, I started cutting a jig to hole the wheels in the CNC router. After getting the jig dialed in, I started cutting the wheels. They went pretty quick, and I am pleased with the results.

Again, these started as blank Eritex beadlocks and I cut my own design into them.


those look great. i wouldnt mind a set for my wheely king! this should be a top design.

[Flash]

Those are real nice. I ordered mine and cant wait to see how they look on my rig. Looking good guys.

[Eritex Inc.]

Those are real nice. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and I still dont have them. Weird.


You also ordered with a check that had to be mailed and then clear before the wheels shipped.

Please be honest and forthcoming with ALL the information when making backhanded or snide little remarks.

[Flash]

I apologize for my outburst. Wat new designs are you thinking of next.

[Flash]

Received my beadlocks yesterday. I gotta saw those are awesome quality. Should have them done tonight and will get some pics up real soon."thumbsup"

[blue-beard]

Just curious how much offset do your standard wheels have? How are they offset compared to stock Axial beadlocks? Will they make the truck wider or narrower comparatively?

[TIMZKRAWLER]

mounted up my wheels today on AX-10 axles with the RCP aluminum knuckles but they don't clear ,the inside ring and beadlock screws hit the knuckles. Has anyone had this problem ? would you think it would weaken the knuckle if i ground a little off ?...or do these just not work with the aluminum knuckle ? has anyone found a way to widen the track about a 1/4" or so on the Ax-10 axles yet ?? Thanks for any help or suggestions ,cause i really like these wheels and want to use them..apprciate the help guys

PM sent, and this is the first I have heard of something like this. Also, as far as wider, how about these.....

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a353/ShyGecko/RD400/SalePictures001.jpg

Can't get much wider offset then that"thumbsup"

[Eritex Inc.]

After seeing the pictures, I would "massage" the knuckle. It looks like it is just touching so not much will be needed. And as far as weakening the knuckle, .050" off an AL knuckle is still 10 times stronger then the stock knuckle.

This is a problem with multiple after market parts, some times they meet in the middle:lol:.

yeah i figured the knuckle was a little thicker there then the stock one ..i will take just a hair off there...also ...i will look for the other offset you show above on your vendor thread and order...thanks for the help

*****NOTICE******

Eritex Inc is closed for the next week. I am a small shop and with me at scale Nats I do not think the dust bunnies are trust worthy enough to possess orders.

If you would like to order some 2.2's, feel free but understand NOTHING will ship until after 5-22-08.

Wish me luck and hope to meet a lot of you guys on Montana"thumbsup"

I looked through the thread and didnt really see anything, but i might have missed it. Do any of them come in a 0 offset? I dont want a super wide width. Thanks!

I can do most anything. What do you want as a back ring to floor of hex measurement?

not yet brian, but he is working on it, it's in the pipeline, just not yet

Doesnt really matter to me, i just would like one closer to 0 offset then the super offset ones you offer now. I just really need some new wheels and tires. Ive had the same ones for a year and a half, they are bald. the hexes have been epoxied in maybe 5 times, and still come out. hexes are now stripped on 2 of the wheels. :lol:

[AX10 Sean]

Okay guys and gals, the first batch of "Competition Heavies" came out of the mill about an hour ago. While they were running, I threw this design in MasterCAM to get started on them....

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a353/ShyGecko/split5spoke.jpg

I am calling them the "Split 5 Spoke". Price on these might be a touch higher (a couple bucks) then the first 3 designs. I need to check machine time to verify.


Eritex Inc.

I may have missed it,but are these available yet? If so, how much? One more question, are you excepting credit cards yet?

[hlpressley]

I would like to know the answer to both of those questions as well. "thumbsup"

[Eritex Inc.]

I have cut 2 sets I think...price would be about $85.00 for a set of 4 in Delrin.

Credit card payment is coming. I have a great local guy busting his butt to get my website up. After it is up and going, CC payments are next on the list.

[eric113]

Gerame,

How much for 2 sets of white comp heavy's with s.s. screws ?

when are the chassis, transmissions, and transfer cases gonna be on ur website?

[hlpressley]

I have had my wheels for about three weeks now and they are great! I have never owned another set of beadlocks that I like as much as these. They are easy to mount and hold the bead well. Great product from a great company. Thanks for a great product at an unbeatable price Gerame. I will be ordering a set for my new tires and a set for my 1.9 build real soon. "thumbsup"

[nishru]

can we get solids & heavies with delrin rings instead?

[Eritex Inc.]

Sure can"thumbsup"

[Mortimer Snerd]

As a suggestion, I'd help me out if the weights were posted up on your site. I'm thinking about picking a set up, but am not sure if the heavies are meaty enough to run on the rear of my rig without weights. I'd love to be able to compare them to my current setup, but haven't been able to find the info.

[Mortimer Snerd]

Right on, thanks! I'm surprised that the comp heavies are so close in weight to the solids. I don't suppose you know the weight of the stock axial wheels? I searched the site but couldn't find it.
