Beadlock suggestion for Axial SCX102

[chefjness]

Hi All,
My name is John...new here. New to crawling but not RC. Question guys. Can you suggest a set of beadlocks that will work with the stock tires on the SCX2. I am reading lots of reviews and watching videos...but honestly I am more confused at this point.
RC4WD looks good...good price for 4...but they seems super tricky to install. SSD looks great, but super $$.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
John

I have a couple sets of RC4WD beadlocks. The first set was very difficult to install 1.9" Pitbull Rock Beast 2 tires on. The second set wasn't as bad with 1.55" Pitbull Growlers. That set of wheels did come with 2 longer screws, though. You use the longer screws to start the installation, then swap them out once you get the other screws tightened down. I also like the G-Made metal beadlocks. They're priced well, and they were a little bit easier to assemble with 1.9" Rock Beast 2s.

Thanks Aver! I will look at these. Do you know if your suggestions will work with the stock Axial scx102 tires. They are replicas of BFGoodrich All Terrian T/A.

Once you deglue the stock tire they will fit any beadlock you choose as long as the bead is intact.

Even better

How about $36 for a set of 4 metal beadlocks with tires included? Plastic (which I prefer to keep weight down and not break things) run about $24 with fake Super Swamper tires, or $12 without. I run one set of all plastic and one with just metal rings.

GMade plastic or metal beadlocks work well and are good prices.

i used the axial satin beadlocks on my new scx10ii,16.99 for 2,but good rims.

Chinese vanquish clones. As good as the original but at 1/4 the price.

thanks for all the help guys.

I put these on my Ascender's stock tires this weekend. So far, so good.

Lafeina Beadlocks $15.99

Those will probably be my next set when I'm feeling a little more "spendy". I'm thinking RC4WD wheels with SS Boggers and CI inserts.

The wheels I got mostly got the nod because they were cheap and "Prime-able".

Also... With RC4WD wheels, don't you need an adapter for 12mm hex use?

My 1.55" wagon wheels use 12mm hexes.

My 1.9" wagon wheels use the pin mount.

I love my steel SSD beadlocks. They're cheaper that the aluminum ones and super easy to mount.

i run maximizer beadlocks on mine. recently (possibly still going) they had a sale. $5 for two wheels. i stocked up!

Some do and some don't, have to read the wheel description which they come with.

I tried a set of them a few years ago. Shredded them fairly quickly. I remeber them being inexpensive with a decent appearance. Hope you have better luck then I did.

I run them on a few rigs. one being a losi scaler and it hasnt destroyed the hexes or anything. i have a had a few issues using the stock hardware. i drill and tap the holes for 2-56 and havent had anymore issues.

SSD all the way. I would hold back, save up and look for a good offer. They are not too heavy, not too light and look awesome. And guaranteed an easy install with Axial tires.
