rc4wd micro internal beadlocks

[angelicgundam90]

Does anyone know what happen to these? or where to get a set? they have pics of them on their website but no where to purchase them.....

they stopped making them over a year ago now they only have the other ones its either those or hot racing, we dont have many options :(

You can find used rums if you peruse ebay and the forums. However every review I've seen of those is that they are junk. The new ones look better and work better.

thanks guys. if the others work better i'll just stick to them

I've got a set of the original beadlocks from RC4WD and besides the need for a special nut for the center I see no issue with them at all. They are a bit fiddly to get all six screw holes lined up but in such a small scale that I think is to be expected. I wish they would start production on them again, they look way better on a scaler than the new ones.

i just like the fact they are black but im sure these work way better

mgcrawler what material are they made of? i really like the looks of them for a scaler. i wonder if i could still find a set. what does the special nut for the center look like?

I believe the wheel inner and outer are stamped steel with an aluminum internal ring. They are exceedingly hard to get a hold of nowadays since they have been discontinued for a while now. I've actually been asked a bunch of times to sell mine but hopefully rc4wd will grant my and others wishes and give us more of them.

Here are the "special" nuts... They just stick out a bit more to clear the center "lug nuts".

Tell me about it! I'm waiting to get the cash together for a gaggle of other stuff I need from them.

I have been looking years for a set, with no luck

[kevinhayden]

He has a set up on ebay is why he asked. The last time I looked they had made it over 100 for the set. Hell I wish I had a set to sell for that price

[smuggl1n]

Was really looking for trades I can always take them off eBay!
