I have beadlocks on my Savage. As far as wheels for it go, they aren't all that heavy; but smaller ones for 1/10 scale would be heavier than a conventional without a doubt. You have to cut off an allen wrench to use cause the hardware is long and the threads are fine. It would take forever to do it by hand with a wrench. I would say that they hold tighter than glue. I don't race but for this application I really like them.
