|  1.9 Beadlock Wheel Options- Losi, Eritek Etc? First mod to my machine is going to be a new set of wheels and the losi blue claws. I've had enough of the cheap stock wheels and junk tires after a few days of playing. I saw the Losi Beadlocks and people have had great reviews saying how easy it is to mount tires and they look pretty cool. How heavy are these? Eritek beadlocks are very cool as well too and a nice buy for the money. I think they were around 60.00 and were pretty heavy which works well. Someone else on here had DNA Beadlocks? but I couldnt find any info on these whether they were modded to fit or a direct replacement. Give me some pics and opinions here fellas! Thanks! |

| Look into the Mayhems. I have heard nothing but excellent things about them. And the Eritek guy has been gone for a long time now. Nobody knows where he is. |

| I saw hot racing had beadlocks on e-bay but they don't look that appealing and after reading though here I see the quality seems to be hit or miss on thier stuff so I'd rather avoid it altogether. Wow i just found the Mayhems and they look awesome. THANKS! |

| Yea looks like my mind is made up on the Mayhems. Now I just gotta decide what style I want and color options! I don't know what the Mayhem Double Phatty's are but i guess they must be nice cuz everyone on the post said they'd like to have a set. |

| The are comp wheels from Mayhem (1.9 Double Fatty's) assume they will just be scaled down 2.2's in looks and freatures have not released yet but they keep teasing that it will be any day. Vanquish makes some nice wheels also but their weighted ones are just a little silly expensive once you buy the weights also. This Should help! http://mayhemengineering.com/rims.html http://www.vanquishproducts.com/mini-procomp-lh-19.html There are alot more choices that don't offer adjustble weights, from all the manuf that you mentioned and then the ones you did offer some that aren't even listed on their web pages. You might want to check out the vendor section for those. |

| I would really rec the Eritex, not bagging on the other top venders on here, but for the price you cant beat them, for the price of 2 sets of Eritex on sale you can get only 1 set of the others, I like that option I can change tire/foam combo's just buy setting up the spare set and switch them out on the fly instead of taking the wheel apart to switch foams or tire or both out,I think he may becoming out with a set of weights for his MRC beadlocks ? |

| I second the Eritex. I purchased them as my first set of beadlocks and had no problems mounting up the tires as a newb. |

| If we can help just let us know. You had asked how much a Mayhem 1.9 wheel weighs 3.5oz. Thats 1 wheel 2 rings and 32 ss screws. Take a look in the vendors section lots to chose from and a lot of different styles and colors and prices. You can't go wrong with any of the vendors here all top notch stuff. Take a look at post #93 Mayhem Eng. 1.9 Beadlock Thanks Mayhem Eng. Last edited by Mayhem Eng.; 01-17-2009 at 08:30 PM. |

| 2 different sets of Eritex MRC wheels here. One standard offset and one wide offset. Both work great and I really like how the dyed white Delrins turned out after hitting them with Orange Rit Dye for about 30 minutes! http://www.eritexinc.com Last edited by schmenzer; 01-17-2009 at 10:17 PM. |

| You can't miss with any of these vendors...all great products. I have a set of the Eritex Heavies and they're killer...I've never locked up a set of tires on to rims as easily as these, and to second Joat's comment, the price is killer. Don't know if Gerame is having issues with equipment or not, but try shooting him a PM anyway. Good luck with your decision! |

|  Beware of Eritex rims...... I orderd a set back on Dec 12th 2008... Hope you all get that point.. DEC 12th 2008.. Today is Jan. 18th 2009.... NO Rims, for my 1.9 and or my 2.2...yet been charged... and payment has gone through. I have yet to recieve my rims... First of all he was in a car wreck. Then I guess his system crashed... Oh and his PM is full on this site, and you cant reply to his emails that he sends to you... The only way to reply is to go to the main web site and go to the Contact page. Please beware of what you pay for... I ordered another set of rims from another comp above. and oh my they keep you informed on what stage your rims are at and what the expeceted ETA is... WOW talk about great customer service... Please people spend the extra money and go with a real comp.  Last edited by Losi6821; 01-18-2009 at 06:02 PM. |

| I have a set of DNA Snipers for my MRC. I like DNA's wheels the most because their bead always hold tight and only 6 screws. I'm a fan of simple designs that work. As much as I like my Mayhems Comp Double Phattys...the amount of screws per wheel was obsurd. They are great products though and Mayhem has some ingenious ideas for the live weights. |
