| Bead lock wheels
I read the sticky, some cool ones, but nothing in stock. I cant even find the stock wheels. Was hoping to mount a second set of tires, preferably beadlocks.

| Re: Bead lock wheels http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/vendo...ead-locks.html Here is a link to mine that I sell. They are just the rims and weights...no hardware or bead rings. They are true bead locks and give you a nice offset like having wheel spacers. I can also make them with less of an offset if wanted. PM me if you need any more info. It's wither stock rims, my rims, or the super expensive aluminum ones on rc4wd. That's pretty much all the options until Fungi is ready to sell his |

The DDT beadlocks are very good wheels. They work well with the 4 types of tires (factory, RC4wd MT Baja Claws, Super Swamper/TSL Boggers and Miclaws) I have tried. I use the factory Losi b/l rings on them. You can get any color you want...as long as it is black. |

I use that spray paint for plastic from home depot and it coats and sticks on the bead rings really nice. To make the color pop I use white primer first and bake it all on with a cheap toaster oven set at about 110 degree's

The stock wheels and tires are glued on, right? So I could pull the rings and still use the tires on the rims I guess? Not that I want to.

Yes they re glued but can be removed. The down side is the next set has to be glued on too. The rings will come right off. I also do a mod to the stock rims that make them into decent bead locks. If you are interested look at this post. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/losi-...sets-sale.html |

I will add that his made rims are worth the investment. They actually make my tires work harder. I honestly thing it was one of my top upgrades that has been done.
