Hello there, i got maximizer beadlocks on my TNx and i love them.
If your truck rolls over too easily in turns, i suggest that you take the 1/2 offset wheels.
Any maxx size tires will fit. Those are standard MT wheels.

Nice, I'll probably order a set soon. What tires are you running on yours? I am looking for a good bashing tire. Any suggestions?

HPI Dirt Claws, these tires are awsome bashing tires. They hook up on absolutely everything.

The Maxximizers are nice. I run them on my MGT.
Here is a pic of the race yellow x.75s on my truck with Losi Zombie Maxx tires.

I came across a good deal on TeknoRC today. They have a tire/wheel/adapter bundle. Pick your own tire/wheel/adapters. I'm going to get a bundle for my revo. They also have great deals on beadlocks.

Quick question.....do you guys recommend bead locks for a Revo setup for racing? Will this add alot of weight?

It will add more unsprung weight when you consider the amount of screws that go into holding the bead locks on. I'd go with a standard dish rim or a spoked design like pro lines wabash series rims.
