Bead Lock Wheels???

[Jeep_Guy]

I see that 99% of wheels for sale are the standard glue type. What is the story about these "bead lock" style wheels?

Will something like this really work? I am so new to this hobby that an easier solution to wheels/tires seems enticing, but if it is a non-working gimic, I would love to find out and stay away from such a product.

The forum's input will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah they work, I've used them before. Not good for racing though, too heavy.

Maximizer ones work great, Proline ones not so good.

I still prefer glued wheels, by the time the tires are junk the wheels usually are too.

Yeah,I had two sets and they are heavy. Not sure how a truggy would do with them. More power to deal with the extra weight. But for my revo,just to much.

They can be a pain to get started too. Seeing you screw them in,the first 2 screws or so can give you some trouble,after that,its cake.
