    Beadslocks

    Is there any offset beadlocks out there that are made of a light or composite material? If not what are some good lightweight beadlocks (if there is such a beast, lightweight I mean)?

    Only 2 that come to mind are 40 series axial or 3.2 maxximizers. I know you can get the maxximizers in 1/2" offset.

    The Geodes are not a true beadlock, they have bead covers. You can try beadlocks but with a BL truck it will pull the beads out all the time, & you might have to end up glue them anyways.

    Avoid the 40 series Axials for the Revo... The inner locking ring on mine chewed the crap out of my lower control arms where the push rod attaches.

    RPM arms, all else stock... I compared em to stock arms after and they woulda done the same or worse to them. This was after just a couple test passes in the drive.
