|  IMEX Beadlock rims??
Well I have been seeing alot of you asking for a new type of bead-lock rims for crawling. I am going to send an email to imex suggesting the idea of a rock crawler rim since they are obviously showing intrest in this type of rc products by comming out with the k-rocks. Well my question is what kind of rim are you looking for.. For what size tires would it need to be. What type of hex.. how much off-set ect. ect... Please give me some feed-back, thanks.

good idea, with the hex make 'em as big as whatever the biggest in use is, and include inserts to fit the smaller hex drives. ...and make 'em look REAL, not toy like (ya know the ones i'm talking about  ) And how about some scale 42" MTR's and BFG Krawlers...

I would like to see them offset like the RPM Clawz offset wheel, they should be standard Maxx width but be able to be narrowed or offered as a narrowed option, and use Maxx hex's. Oh, and if they were made of aluminum and looked like Eagle 589's or Mickey Thompson Classic II's I'd buy em NOW. |

No, in fact most people on this board would not pay the price for Aluminum wheels. Most of them want cheap. I personally would pay for the Aluminum but the market would be better for cheaper plastic ones. |
