http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff476/Summit28/100_1292.jpgI just wanted to share my new beadlocks form JunFac "mudrock". I originally had the proline epic but wasn't satisfied with the way the bead sat in the rim. The front rim is the Mudrock & the rear is the Epic. I will post more pics with all of the Mudrocks on later. They already seem much better than the epic. The mudrock's also make the truck wider by 1/4" on each side of the truck (est).

Agreed looks good and with the extra screws it will hold the bead better. But I also like the look of the Epics.

So I just got back from a run and what a difference form the epic. The extra width really gives the truck much better handling, and since there's no hole in the rim the tires won't balloon nearly as much. :D

I got them from www.junfac.com. Shipping was only $8 and only took 8 days form South Korea to get to the US, not bad if you ask me ;)

I understand how beadlocks help for real trucks but how are the beneficial at this scale? Also how Do the tires balloon?

^^ it allows you to change tires easily whenever you want compared to dealing with taking a glued tire off, that's about it.
