| HC RC Guy is the creative engineer behind this project. The goal is create a very cool looking, comp ready adjustable weighted beadlock wheel.As you can see you can adjust the weight be removing or adding those internal steel rings. Last edited by rc4wd; 01-28-2009 at 11:16 AM. |

| The skull idea is just one weight holder. There are other shapes intended. The cover should be able to be removed without the use of tools, that way if you want to quickly switch the weight configuration without affecting the tires. I'll post up a few more images when I get a chance. |

| That is a very cool idea. How much weight are we looking at fully loaded? |

| how about this one....the shapes are endless. What would people like to see? This one was "inspired" from the movie Krull...movie was bad, but the spinning slicer was cool. ![]() this should clear up a few questions...I'm still tweaking it hear and there, but this gets the concept across. ![]() some parts will be tricky to MFG, but we know how resourcefull RC4wd is! |

| what about a solid disk for the retainer thing? maybe put a couple finger dimples in it so you can spin it loose. |

| sloppy, that was my first choice, and still may be an option. I made one that resembles a lockout hub. It looks really plain, and I'm not sure if you can enough finger grip on it. Also had one called the meat grinder, but didn't like the look. |

| What if you make the skull or the slicer the part that screws into the axel's instead of have the nut. The idea is cool and would make weight adjustment quick and easy |
