Default heaviest beadlock?

Set of Chisels, looking for really heavy rims that work well. I like the idea of the Mayhem and Vanquish wheels, with the removable weights, any others I might have missed?

Check these out. Theyre about as heavy as you can get. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149925

I think these "boat anchors" would be in the running too . . . . .

you can always add extra weights in the form of stick on lead to any wheel...IMO you cant go wrong with Mayhem wheels...some of the, if not the best wheels out there.

Mayhem Double Comp Phatty/Pro-line Chisel combination. That's a winning team

I just mounted my chisels to a set of MSD wheels - perfection - I added 3 1/2 oz to the front & none to the rear - tested it last nite & could not be happier - check out Ben's site - his wheels are bulletproof & nice looking

I never thought you'd get rid of your Rock Claws
Curious to see how they're gonna work at Butte.

Tom are those weight numbers using the original weights or the bullet weights. What added weight per slug would there be if the faux firing pin was not there leaving the slug solid?

that was with bullets, they are about a gram heavier at 29.1 each, they are close enough to call them about the same weight imo.

Thanks Tom. I was hoping I could find a way to get another couple of ounces out of slugs to try a heavier weight wheel.

I was hoping to start with the heaviest wheel possible, then add more if needed. running 21 of the 1/4 oz wheel weights in the front and maybe 11 in the rear.

I really like the revolvers, I figured they were close to the heaviest if not the heaviest.

Any idea how much the Mayhem CDP's weigh, with and without the (4) BB's? If not I'll figure it out in a few days and post up what I find...

Do the Mayhem wheels come with the ball bearings? Live weight are the ball bearings, is that 10 oz with 4, and can you fit more?

i'd love to see some lead weights for the mayhem double phatties. beefing them up to about 15oz would be perfect!
