best u4rc beadlocks

[mallcrawler24]

I have been running pro line titus headlocks and i keep running the tires of the wheels. what would be the best bang for my buck i priced out the slw vanquish with hubs and rims I'm at 150. is there anything else out there that would be cheaper but still do the job?
thanks

i would prefer to stick to headlocks no glue.

saw some delrin beadlocks being offered by rc4wd at a decent price
Rocker 2.2 Lightweight Competition Beadlock Wheels
also check out the dlux wheels, they look pretty good.
another option is to look in the rcc classifieds. there are some good deals to be found there.

I went with the glue option myself. You can always bake the tire off. I know its a bit of a pain but its most cost effective at $25 for a set of wheels plus slw hubs. I wanted to use a beadlock wheel myself but most are heavy and the lite ones are a minimum $150. Carterfab does a nice delrin method glue up wheel.

i know the gear head derlin wheels are nice and hold a good bead. idk bout those rc4wd ones its still 130$ before shipping. but as everyone is saying the CI 6bolts are the way to go,

what would be the best glue to buy?

i use either a thin or medium tire-specific ca glue on my wheels.

youtube some tire gluing videos before you take it on, its relatively easy but you dont wanna bork it up.

my advice is to really really clean your wheels and tires before gluing to get rid of all the mold releasing agents and stuff that keeps the glue from sticking.

thanks to yall sugestions i found a set ci 6 bolts. also ordered foams, hubs, and glue.

The V4's I can understand..

The V3's have held up well for me. Then again, there is a good bit more spoke to them..

well maby ill try those then just havent had any luck with them but you are right they do have quite a bit more spoke to them, honestly the v5's i wasnt suprised seeing as how the spoke is flat and not very thick. and im not nessisarily breaking them they still work they just wobble something awful,

I used Losi tire glue for a couple buggy sets just before Xmas, that glue is outstanding compared to others I've used in the past. I pretty much always use standard, some manufacturers thin, can be very difficult to work with. Another trick for removing tires from glued wheels, put them in the freezer for a day or two, when you remove them, push the bead with your thumb around the wheel, and it usually just cracks free. I had a set of HPI wheels and tires years ago where this method did not work, I had to use heat for them.
