Axial Beadlocks are BAD!

Axial Beadlocks

Do not buy Axial Beadlocks. I got mine yesturday and started putting them together and the screws strip in the plastic. And you wonder why people toss rubber on them.

End rant!

ya i went with the maximizer beadlocks, there lighter because of less screws and so far i haven't had a problem....

beadlocks in general are horrible.

cant tell you how many have had the same report on the axial.

i love my maximizer beadlocks and am actually shocked how theyve never thrown a bead even on 5s in my flux

i have a set of axial oversized beadlock with big joes on them ive never had one screw strip out ..i just snugged them up tight but not over tight never lost a bead on them .... i just think they are way heavy .. but might be the tire ...

http://www.maximizerproducts.com/ Theres there website, check them out i have 2 sets of there offset rims and i love them........

I am looking at them, but i do not see how the screws go in. Do the screws go all the way through to the other side with a nut or the they go into the ring and screw into the body itself?

Do the screws go through into a platic rim? or are they threading into something aluminum?

ive bashed the crap out of my axial beadlocks and only slipped a bead when the rim cracked in half after serious abuse, never had issues with screws you don tighten them just snug and you do it in a star pattern so its even all around only grime i have is the screws head don't last long

 

[maximusraylius]

same here dan no issues ever ...

I also have never had a problem with Axial beadlocks. I have them mounted on Big Joes as well.

NO, they just screw into the rim (plastic).
