I'm thinking of cutting down a set of 2.2 tires, but after going through all the work I don't want to glue them to the rims permanently.
Are there any cheap 1.9 beadlocks that look somewhat scale? All I can think of are the MRC rims (converted to beadlock) which I don't like too much.
Thanks.
 
The RC4WD OEM wheels are decently priced beadlocks. Also the Axial stock beadlock wheels are pretty cheap and look good painted.
 
I haven't had much luck w the axial rims the hex will start to spin inside the rim
i dont think you are getting them tight enough on the hex. i have ran 3 sets and currently run 2 sets and have yet to spin a hex in them in the year and 1/2 iv had them and I hav planty of power.
 
I looked into them and I like RC4WD OEM ones better... they look more scale. I also saw that they have issues with proline tires, but there's a fix for that.
At least now I can focus my search... thanks everyone!
 
I've noticed lots of people using the Axial 1.9s with nippled hexes, that's a big no no, unless you drill em out for the nipple.
You can't go wrong with the Axials with MTHead rings, can't beat the price to boot."thumbsup"
 
If you don't mind plastic, I got axial 8 holes for like 9 bucks a box. I forget where (online) but it was a sweet deal. Spending a couple hundred bucks on scale wheels and tires is painful.
