Beadlocks
YES, they definately put up with the abuse ! I painted mine Red with Krylon plastic paint, which wasn't so hot
, then I painted over them with Red Krylon metal paint and then clear-coated the poop outta them !! I then did like 'durwank' did with his and super glued the poop outta them to the wheels, after puting a bead of hot glue on the wheels around the very edge so that they would stick better.....and believe me, they're not coming off !! 
Hey Twocane, like I said, nice lookin truck !
I wanted the red body(red's my favorite color), but I got the grey body instead along with the Pro-Line Chevy Silverado HD body and my old Aftershock body that's on it now. So have you done any up-grades or hop-ups to it ?

Seems to kind of defeat the purpose of "bead lock" rims...

Beadlock rings
Exactly ! Thanks again durwank, and speaking of a life long friendship there buddy......I really appreciate it ! -
Thanks to you too LOSIASSOCIATED#1, I really appreciate the comment ! That was a really damn nice thing you did for him there Greg, looks good BTW ! - LOSI RULES !
Like durwank said, "The beadlock rings that Taz is talking about are just for show . I put the same kind on my IMEX wheels just to help protect the chrome ", I wasn't actually going for 'bead-lock' rims since they were Aftershock 'Magneto' wheels.....I was just going for the look and protecion !....but thanks anyway olds97_lss. -: I may possibly sometime in the future decide to go with actual 'bead-lock' rims, but for now I am going to use my Chrismas $ to get a set of 23mm adpters and a set of the Cen GST 7.5" wheels/tires off ebay for my LST2. - once again, LOSI RULES !

That's one awesome looking paint job ! I like the red, white and blue, not to mention the jets on the roof ! I really like the look of the whole truck, the way that you have it set up to like a buggy ! I noticed that there is a drip of oil from the exhaust on the table. BTW, what wheels/tires are those that you are running ? That Losi rules !!!! :thumbup:
I like those imex tires, but they look larger in outer diameter than the t-maxx tires. That's not good if your running 4wd. Puts a lot of stress on your diffs and axles. It means your rear tires are either spinning/loosing traction or the front tires are being pushed faster than the diff tells them to go. Not a good combo.

Nice LosiLST I like the body also,And I agree with olds97 lss too.You got to watch the tire combo you run if it the sme tire no big deal but two diffrent type and size your asking for problems very high priced problems.My 2 cents.

Damn those bad boys look good ! I take it you like flame jobs ! :thumbup: BTW, what 'red' turnbuckles are those on the LST2 ? :shrug: LST2 in, T-maxx
out......enough said !
in, T-maxx out......enough said !They are stock Turnbuckles I just plasti dipped them along with the CVD's. WHy? because every time that i bash in the snow ,muddy swampy or wet parking lots my Cvd's would start getting rust a few days later along with the turnbuckles so one day i got the idea of plasti dipping them kind of a way to water proof them plus they look great I'm pretty sure you can mach them to your lst2's theme. I just redid them recently i might post a write up heres a pic

I believe those chassis Rails are Rd logics, the same ones I have nice rigs...
I like that turnbuckle idea. Looks neat, but I'd had to cover up my shiny lunsfords... I do like it though. Would look cool with the CVD's and turnbuckles in canary yellow.
