Are the Axial beadlocks the least expensive option for the MRC. I did the PVC mod and it worked okay, but not okay enough for me, probably due to my fabrication skills.

I did alot of reading and someone mentioned something about offsets being different. I have a nice new pair of ProLine Chisels mounted on the stock ones but I think I want to "upgrade" to a pair of inexpensive real beadlocks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you really mean "least-expensive," check out the 8-hole Axle [plastic] bead locks. Those were my first wheel choice for my MRC, before getting aluminum wheels, and I liked them well enough. They're plastic, so you'll need to be a little gentle with the screws, but that's plastic for you. The price is right, though.
For a step up while considering the budget, watch the For Sale section.

Last Of Sale "Shipping Damage"/New 1.9's & 2.2's

there are gold 1.9 snipers for $40 shipped. Nice wheel for the price if your into the gold.

i would say that the least expensive would be the beadlock mod on the stockers. but i imagine you want something different.

I ordered those this morning i looked earlier to see if the blue ones were still there for him but they are gone too.

RCBros sell the stuff to mod the stockers for like 5 bucks i think.

I got the gold and that was a steal i have been crossing my fingers waiting on funds to order them. Got lucky they were still there.

Back on topic though. There is a dealer under the tires and wheels vendor forum with wheels for 55 or 65. I have there UFO wheels and like them. i will try and find the link. All aluminum too.

Thanks for all of the info. I guess I need to spend a little time in the vendor section and check out what they have.

What about the proline beadlocks. They're around 50 bucks. Anyone try them out yet? I think they're called titans or titus. Can't remember
