anyone run beadlocks? im sure they are bad with anything bigger than a 2s lipo but how are they on just a 2s lipo at an indoor track? do they stay on well and dont peel off the wheel? i might just boil off the worn out tires on my proline wheels but i thought i would ask about the beadlocks.

beadlock wheel questions

i run Eightshooter beadlocks on 3s, no problem. They are pretty heavy, that actualy helps keep with the wheels down and so gives more traction. They can put an extra strain on your tranny and driveshaft, I run 32p gears and steel Integy sliders.. Works well, also run 145mm tires.. I 'm pretty happy with the combo cause I have tons of traction on 2WD, just need to get it to corner, thats the next project. May try it on 4s...

the split six wheels will be at HTUSA, but the carbon beadlocks are only avail online, or when the company shows up at my track.
