I haven't looked yet but plan to look. I picked up an Exo Terra and want to try some bigger wheels and shorter tires. You'll need 17mm hexes.

The Exceed Mad Torque uses 2.8" beadlocks, but it has 17mm hexes. $22 will get you 4 wheels, hardware, and 8 rings in your choice of colors. I'd think you could just switch to a 17mm hex off a monster truck? Years ago I bought a set of 17mm hexes from Hot Bodies and put them directly in place of both 14mm and 12mm hexes. Might be worth looking into anyway.
I think I just had a mini heart attack! For 4 wheels, beadlock rings, hubs & caps the grand total is...
$144
Sorry that's out of my price range.
They're work looks great, and ide love to have a set. Actually looking for 2 sets of beadlock wheels. I just can't see myself spending that much on a set of wheels for my SCX10.

Quality aluminum beadlocks aren't cheap.
What tires are you looking at for your SCX10 that are 2.8? Any reason not to go 2.2?

No idea what I'm doing
That's actually a pretty decent price for a set of aluminum beadlock wheels in an unpopular size.
I purchased the Pro-Line Sand Paw 2.2 on my Jeep for the sand dunes and mounted them on Axial 8 hole 2.2 beadlock wheels. They worked good in the sand, they just weren't tall or wide enough. Then I found the tires in 2.8, taller and wider! Perfect for my Jeep. They sell them pre mounted & glued to 2.8 rims. I just prefer beadlock wheels as opposed to glued. I can buy them pre mounted for $37 for a set.
I would be ok with plastic 2.8 beadlock wheels, just can't find any.
I completely understand the time and work that goes into machining a part. I just can't justify that much for my SCX10.

Here's some links:
Pair of wheels $4: Wheels mad-mt2009
4 rings + hardware $7 (there are 4 color choices) : Disks Fixing Tyre (green) mad-mt2011
12mm to 17mm adapters $4 (not exactly what I was referring to, but these would get the job done) : 4pcs Aluminum Wheel Rim Adapter For 1:10 RC Nitro Car 12mm to 17mm Hex Gray | eBay
Thanks, I think I'll try out this route. I'll let you know how it goes.

Also interested in the results of this endeavour. Would be cool to put Beadlocks on my Stampedes for S&G.
I thought Proline had 2.8" beadlocks at one point, but I can't find them so I must have had a false memory.
Was kinda thinking the same thing. For some completely irrational reason, I've been wanting to build a Telluride/Chimera B type vehicle, and some 2.8 beadlocks would be a nice thing to use.
Ah, memories... "thumbsup"
