Two New Beadlock Wheel Designs from SSD

By: Tim Gluth

Adding weight to your R/C crawler or trail rig is a great way to help balance and performance when traveling across various types of terrain. On easy (and stylish) way to achieve this is by adding a new set of wheels to your trail machine.

SSD has introduced two new 1.9" beadlock wheel designs to their lineup both of which look great and can help add a bit of weight to your vehicle. While these new wheels don't weigh as much as others, they do provide a bit of heaviness to the lower portion of a 1/10-scale R/C rig.
