I was going to post this in the third party wheels thread but then realized that it would end up on page 12 and could get lost so here goes. I found these links when searching for info about beadlock wheels. That link goes to wikipedia which provides some nice info, but i wanted more but didn't find anything better than that. What i did find was some interesting links from about.com. Non of this is about Lego vehicles but that doesn't really matter. It is still true for other kinds of RC-cars.

What is a wheel and how is it different from a rim or the tire. For what the words mean look here. I sure have messed this up more than once.

What is the difference between on-road and off-road wheels. Useful even for those using original Lego tires.

So just what is that rock crawling thing and what do i need to know to build and drive such a vehicle.

And lastly info about beadlocks and whether they are better than glued tires. Useless for Lego but could be fun to know.

This is non technic and belongs in the general topic forum.

I figured since these links are about vehicles many Technic builders make that it belong here. but if that's the case feel free to move this thread. Any thoughts about the info in the links other than that might not belong in this section?
