lightest 1.9" PLASTIC beadlock???

Re: lightest 1.9" PLASTIC beadlock???

Yeah, to a certian degree. Metal wheels arent gonna hurt anything though, I personally wouldnt get hung up on that. Id be more worried about excess weight above the wheels. (Like the rollcage in the 10.3 body, heck even the whole body if you havent already.)

Just my opinion though[emoji1688]

I have both alum and steel beadlocks in different sizes. And I'm looking at parts for my cheater rig, not a 10.3. The 10.3 wheels are from my trail truck, for comparison only. I also have my cg figured out. Just trying to save a few grams without spending a fortune. Best bang for the buck, you know?

You could stretch your tires over the Crawler Innovations 2.2" 6-Bolt glue-ons, they are EXTREMELY light - use any SLW hub to get your offset just perfect, too.

Anyway some wheels you think might be heavy or light may or may not be and tires are also a big consideration for weight savings.

That's why I'm asking for numbers. I have tried some that I thought were light, but weren't.

Ah, okay. That makes more since now. My apologies for assuming you were doing this on a 10.3. I understand your reasoning now.

Carbon fiber rock magnets from Barry's RC carbon fiber on Facebook. Not sure but I would take a look

Hack the 10.3 rims apart since there stockers, drill some holes in the beadlock and you’ll be surprised at how light you can get them and how durable they still are, if you break em there easy to come by, my ultralight was 2.7 and they were really durable

I have another set of Element Methods on the way, and I'm going to start with this. May be switching to some Dlux cf glue-on wheels shortly. At least for my cheater rig.
