| Rustler wheels
I just bought a xl-5 rustler and i like the look of the beadlocks on them my question is do they make beadlock wheels for the front tires? I know i can get them for the rear but will i have to mak somthing or can i actuall buy a set?

The fronts have a 12mm hex just like the rear.

Nitro rustlers do have bearings in the front. The electric version doesn't

the offset is diffrent on the front wheels from the rear, on rustler and pede. not sure if that matters for your plan but it might be good to know.

Yup, rusty's have a "live axle" and that means a hub with bearings, then an axle shaft, a drive pin, the hex, the rim and a nut to keep it from comming off. You can use any bead lock with a 12mm hex.

| You can put rear arms in the front and the width will be the same all the way around. I used Nitro Rush front arms on mine. Same size as the rears.
