Other than looks, what are they for or can someone send me a link that explains what they are good for?
One 1:1 trucks and RC crawlers alike they are designed to secure the bead of the tire so that it can not spin on the wheel. There is so much traction with the compound of the tires and the low pressures (or lack of foam in RC) that the extreme torque and/or extreme steering angles would rip a tire right off the rim. I have seperated a bead by airing down to 8 psi tooling around in the desert. Take too tight a turn at those pressures and you WILL loose a tire...
So it's kind of like the glue part of your tire as well? Sorry to ask a dumb question but I thought they looked nice but didn't understand the reason behind it with out the bling factor.
A true beadlock will hold better than any glue on the market my Slash will swell a 2.2 Proline Dirt works tire up to about 8 inches around and never sling a bead off.
