| Axial beadlocks ARE the bomb!!!!!!!!!!
These things are awesome. The craftsmanship is above and beyond IMO. You can fully assemble a full set of these in less than 30 minutes,unlike the Prolines with 60,000 bolts Super clean and several options as far as colors and rings. I would HIGHLY reccommend these over Prolines ANYDAY. Contacts: www.rcpcrawlers.com/ Or you can PM Rockpiledriver. He's super to deal with.Always kept me informed about where the wheels were,when they shipped and all. They were boxed up nicely,shipped in a timely manner and arrived without a scratch. Heres a few pics after I narrowed mine and mounted up my Moab XL's Last edited by Reflection; 09-15-2006 at 10:52 PM. |

Those would look badass with the Black SW2 and black links. Oh yeah, and everything else black too. |

I can't wait to get a set mounted with the red "Holy Roller" rings. They look amazing. Also they have "ribs" on the outer section of the wheels that make narrowing a breeze according to gregrocks90046.

One thing that that I was impressed with is the material they are made with. I don't know what it,but I do know it is,or feels,ALOT stouter than any other wheel I've cut into. Makes any other wheel I've fooled with seem like they are made with cardboard. The rings in the center part of the wheel make it fast and easy to narrow and keep them straight. It took an hour to pull them out of the box,narrow to 2" and mount the XL's. Coarse 30 minutes or so was drying time and I left to go get pizza.

The e-store is just about finished but in the meantime you can still contact Brian (rockpiledriver). He has a ton of crawler parts and chassis in stock already. He is really aiming for a one-stop crawler shop and I for one can't wait. The shop should be up by the iHobby Expo.

Thanks guys,I'm VERY happy with them. They did help with stripping gears:-P No,seriously,I've got a new GD600(thanks Cubman) and it's working good so far. I changed the way I had stuff mounted and installed the new GD and it seems better. I also unlocked my slipper clutch and I think that might have been a big help also. I've got it set so if it binds up REAL bad it'll slip but it'll still hook hard 99% of the time. I should be good to go next weekend. Quote:
Look at the links I've posted and in my sig line. The prices are on their web site or you can PM rockpile driver for a price | |||

Not sure what my LHS has them for yet but I called and they had enough to do 6 trucks, All sold out the same day the came in. Now I ask , I thought I was the only one who used Beadlockers around here. My shop told me they thought it was me sending my buddies in to buy them all. They are probabbly the nicest looking BL's out . |
