Well the wheel is a bit smaller in diameter, but yes I would say some of it has to do with it being a beadlock. The wheel was also designed for a heavier vehicle than the trencher/tech 5, so its a bit sturdier which typically means more weight.
Sure unsprung weight isn't the best, however to some extent its not the "devil" its made out to be. The 5mm thick stretched TVPs are actually worse for the vehicle than the heavier wheel/tires.
