    I'm producing a line of Photoetched Stainless Steel Beadlock/Wheel covers for the micro crawlers, and would like to find some people locally who have them that can help me with some photos and video for my website/ebay/shopping cart.

    If not, i'll end up buying one of each of them, but would just prefer to bolt them on someone else's rig.

    There's a free set of your choice from the whole line (6 different designs) in it for anyone who has them.

    They will be available in 3-4 weeks.

    Thanks guys.

    i have a redcat sumo crawler that has some minor mods done to it... it would be cool to help you out... what kind of weight do they add per wheel?

    Sounds good guys, i'm expecting them soon.  I actually pulled the trigger and purchased a Losi Micro Crawler.  Maybe what we can do is setup some kind of photoshoot at one of the crawler get-togethers, and i can get some shots of different beadlocks on different micros in the mud!

    I'm glad to hear you have a sumo, so i can have both trucks covered.

    I doubt they will be very heavy (the covers), they are stainless steel, but will be pretty thin (.010").  Scaled out to 1:1 that's nearly 1/4" thick, so they should look really scale on the trucks.

    I saw your eBay listing... those look pretty sick--- definitely will dress up any MRC... Definitely willing to help you out with any photo/video shoot. Let us know when your line is ready to roll

    The first round of rings turned out thinner then i had wanted.  I thought .010" stainless would be strong enough, but they can deform when you tighten them down.  I'll reload and adjust them for .018", which will make them a lot stronger.
