Got my beadlocks working (vid)
Well after some time I finally got a chance to get my beadlocks running. Thought I'd post up a few pics and a short little video. Sorry the video is lame. It was raining outside and I had to see if the beads would pop.

Cool vid man. Glad to see you got that problem solved.
I just got my 55t lathes in, so I can't wait to run them and see what the difference is.

NickRummy: You still having any problems with those Mashers coming loose? I think I found a super simple solution and will update my thread on RCC once I have completed testing and confirmed it works.
Here's what I did: Measured a length of fuel tubing to wrap around the inner washer and cut to length. Cut the tube down the middle so I could wrap it around the washer and CA glued it in place. This should form a lip that hopefully will keep the tires bead from popping loose.

Oh, Sarge is pimpin now. The inner rings I made work GREAT!
I'm experimenting now
Just wired up a new battery pack I made. 8.4v 2500mah AA's. Saved weight and gained an extra 1.2v!
