|  **Vendors please look! 2.2 Clod/Txt rims**
Dear vendors please read this!;), Its just an idea but, There is a serious need of zero offset rims for those that run 2.2 clods and txt's. 'The stalker' rims are nice and reduce you trackwidth quite a bit but they have offset and we dont want that really  .Here are some pics how a 2.2 clod beadlock should look from what i think:  you can see its very deep and only 1 inch wide just like other known beadlocks.  Its also dual purpose because of the cut-trough hex on it. When you mount the plate on the outside its suited for clods and if you place it on the other side its an 100% offset rim. I've got no plans on producing them or make these but it will be nice if a vendor look in this and get some ideas  thanks for looking, Mischa Just one more  Last edited by crawl rookie; 01-13-2008 at 06:11 AM.

Yeah it would be nice to have a set of "blingin" beadlocks with the mounting flush to the outside, like the HPI wheels I run..  |

I would really like to see a aluminum beadlock/rim with zero offset. I have yet to find a plastic rim that holds up to crawling. Could really care less about the bling, I want the function! Please vendors!!! |

yeah we all know that 2.2 clods can spin hexes very well  We need some Beefcake! Just an alu dish wheel would be great! maybe some non beadlock wheels for those who dont wanna spend all the cash on them like these:  |

Visionary Fab make an awesome all aluminum beadlock wheel with hardly no offset. I have a set that I run on my 2.2 clod. They are called stalkers.

If I remember right, with my 2.2 clod the stalkers put me at 12.25" wide...Under the 12.5...that is all I need. Any more offset you will have rubbing issues. From front of wheel to hex face is only .25"...

They put me at 11", and I could go up to a 1/2" more.

Thundertech cvd's no less. What I do, I drill out the stock brass hex to 8mm, drill a cross pin hole. Then I take the cvd stub axle out and drill a hole further in. Get what I'm saying?

I just want to let you guys know Clod and TXT 2.2 beadlocks are on the way. I have got this one handled  This is a wheel I came up with about 16 months ago. After testing and modifying, I am getting ready release them. Look for them here in the next 30 days. |

Both aluminum and delrin, the little secret a lot of people don't want to let out the bag is both materials are on about the same level as far as cost and machine ability. I am going to be posting up some pics of something cool today that you guys might be interested in....
