RC4WD changes to the 1.55 steel beadlock

[fixed13]

I just ordered a spare tire and wheel from RC4WD and they made some changes for the better to the 1.55 steel beadlocks. The center flat spot is now larger and the bolts are smaller to look more scale. They also machined the back plate to accept a 12mm hex. The first pic is a little misleading, the tire and rim are the same size, the camera makes the new one look bigger due to the fact that it is closer and the camera was so close.

that was the one thing i didnt like about my 1.9s was that they didnt use a hex. rc4wd really pays attention to what there customers say. awesome work guys lookin great as always

I was really hoping they would come out with a hex version. Thanks guys!

Is the offset any different than the pin drive ones?

I wish I had the hex set instead of the old ones. Oh well. I am glad they changed it.

It doesn't appear to be but I could not find a hex before I mounted it up as a spare to check, maybe someone that has a newer set could answer this better.

Ok, thanks for the info but can I just clear up that the wheels can still be pin mounted as well as hex mounted oe have they just been made to hex mount ?

the only thing that kind of sux is now your spare wont match as far as looks go

looks like a pulled the trigger on my set of 1.55 a hair too early, as I have the old design :(

They are hex mount only, the rear flange used to be milled to accept a pin, now it is milled to accept a hex.

It is still close enough for me, looks tons better than what I had on the back as a spare.

Kool thanks bro, I have 2 sets of pinned ones and I guess the 2 other sets im about to order will be hexed, either way I will be happy with them. Im glad they have spread the bolts out a bit though
