Sharkfat78 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Not used the myself (yet) but apparently they're the squirrels nuts. Gonna get myself a set on payday hopefully. The madmax ones that turned up today with my new rims feel like paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silverback RC Products Posted September 9, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) For the Baja models I recommend the use of the non-lipped inner beadlock, and v3 lipped outer. Depending on wheel condition you can (if wheels in good condition) use the Silverback screws for inner & outer rings, if the wheels are well used (multiple screws pulled out) I recommend using some longer bolts & nylock nuts on the outer rings, and our screws on the inner rings. The v2 monkey nutz are 'more than show' item. The thread has been machined after moulding, resulting in a much stronger thread with absolute minimum tolerance issues.

Based on your description, I would say that there is plenty of life in your wheels, so you will be fine with our screws. As for discount, I will give you 10% off the RRP on the beadlocks. Just let me know when you are about to shop, so I can put the price back up. Edited September 9, 2013 by Silverback RC Products 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverback RC Products Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) I bet Google just sent you email SB haha I wish. lol I had just finished some paperwork for the business, and thought I would have a quick scan of all the forums before I grab a bite to eat. Fortunately the thread had just started, otherwise it would have been tomorrow sometime.

(-:AD:-) Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 silverback beedlocks are good. I also have a couple of sets of hostile ones I think they are slightly better, but they are over twice the price though and are only outers. When are the new tyres coming out?

Rossyra Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 They are a massive upgrade on the stock rings, like adding a layer of armour to your tyre sidewalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
