| Beadlocks
Should I get 2.2 or 1.9 bead locks for my CC?

do you have stock motors? stock servo? if so i would go with 1.9s im running mayhem 8 holes axial offset 2.2s. they are insanely heavy and double the weight of the truck. stock motors and servo will barely even move the truck. |

Yes stock motors and servo for now so looks like 1.9 will be the way to go. Thanks. |

i assumed you ment metal beadlocks, yeah if you go plastic beadlocks you can do 2.2 no problem. i went metal 2.2 and they were too much beef for the little guy. couldnt even turn the wheels on tile! lol

| rock rippers i finally found as set that wont kill your wallet: rc4wd rock rippers. the offset pushes them out from under your truck= more clearence on links and shock mounts when you move up to the bigger motors |

I just switched to using my stock Creeper Beadlox and modified Stock Creeper tires ... with the Tamiya RS380 motors and stock gearing it slowed the truck down a little ... should mean I'll be perfect when the 9T's arrive. I have weighted the wheels as well. I don't get any rub but I moved the upper link back in board as I found there was just far too much axle sway that way ... inboard it tightened back up. I can still get all four spinning in the kitchen if need be, just takes a little more throttle now.
