Just picked up a set of maximizer beadlocks from RCCompound (thanks for the great deal!) for my savage. Have any of you guys ran these? I cant wait to pick up some tires to try them out, they look like great rims.

:rock:

i love my beadlocks :D

make sure you use all the spacer rings that come with the set. it helps grip the tire even tighter i ran for a day before they started slipping so i had to take them all apart just to install those rings :confused:

i would go with big joes something about the design just "works for me"

me too, and they are "big" to boot. Nothing says kick ass truck like big tires and it would look nice with my 1/2 offset rims. Nice and wide

i run em too, i to didn't put the shims at the beginning and had to tear them apart too. just don't overtork the screws, but the bonus with them is you can buy everything separate. and i have had good grip with my claw dawgs, but get better foam. mine are shredded.
