NOFX Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Anyone know where I could buy a 2.5mm socket to get my beadlocks apart ? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) 2.5mm nuts on the beadlock? Could a M4 hex head bolt do it some trippy way? They take a 2.5mm Allen key. That could be daft lol. But if its possible screw it into a hand tool or grip it in a drill? Edited May 1, 2018 by RCbutcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 They're 2.5mm hex headed bolts. I've never seen an so small. I ain't gonna bother now anyway. They're no use to me. I was gonna put em on my ftx outlaw, but they're sc wheels. Crawler tyres won't fit. Back in the shed for them . I can't see anyone wanting to buy alu sc wheels.

RCbutcher Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) You'll be suprised mate if ther good condition theres bound to be guys after display wheels if nothing else. But noobs would probably take them too. Worth more on eBay than the shed lol. So was I confused i was thinking you has scale wheel nuts ive seen around they use a special tool you get with the screws or wheels and screws. The screw idea just hit me. If the beads are male 2.5mm then screw head is 2.5mm female. Or did you mean they are m2.5 screws? The tiny screws the traxxas merv uses. 1.5mm Allen key fits those m2.5 I think. I can check if needed I have one i know that but tjink its 1.5mm tip. Best of luck anyway mate. Edited May 2, 2018 by RCbutcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Cheers mate . The screws actually have a hex shape you'd use a tiny spanner on. They're a bit scuffed up. If I can get the beadlocks off I can wet sand em to get an all shiny. Thatd give em more sale appeal. I've tried posting pics on here in various ways, photo bucket, picture shed or wherever. But it just don't work. I'd put em up for sale here, but can't due to the above. They're rc4wd. About 100 quid a set new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 I was perusing ebay looking at miniature sockets when it dawned on me. Ive got about 500 stainless m 2.5 Alan head bolts . They're perfect for getting the screws out . I'll put the makeshift socket in the drill seeing as there's 20 screws per wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
