Hey guys

Prototypes of the DarkSoul beadlocks and axle extenders are here and being tested this week.

Prices and ETA's are subject to change...

Beadlocks will be around $105.00 retail price for a set of 4 outer rings and 4 innner rings.





The axle extenders will around $40 retail for a set of 2 rear and 2 front.




ETA in these parts is a couple weeks. We will keep you posted.

Better pictures and more details on the testing to be posted this week.

Enjoy!

Please ask around before offering only one color, HPI purple. I am gonna strip my buggy this winter and media blast it then repaint or clear coat it since i cant stand the color purple [:@]. Maybe offer black or a gray/gunmetal color along with purple in case any else feels the way i do.

just a thought [sm=biggrin.gif]

It looks like we are going to do purple and silver only, at this point. Until we see more people swapping colors out we do not want to stock too many different options.

We are getting closer. I hope to see the axle extenders late next week. The beadlocks are probably another 1-2 weeks after that point.

Once I know anything solid, I will let you all know.
