Technical Performance
The Axial 1/10 Walker Evans Street 1.9 Wheels represent an excellent balance of engineering and practical performance. The nylon construction material was specifically selected for its combination of strength, flexibility, and impact resistance—critical qualities in rock crawler wheels that must absorb impacts from rocky terrain, roots, and obstacles without fracturing or becoming permanently deformed. The 12mm hex mounting system is the industry standard for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, providing a universal connection that ensures compatibility across virtually all modern RC crawlers and trail trucks available in the UK market. The wheels measure 1.9 inches in diameter, a specification that has become the go-to standard for serious rock crawlers because it provides the optimal balance between ground clearance, traction, and overall vehicle stability. When paired with appropriate 1.9-inch tyres—whether soft compound crawling foam, aggressive all-terrain rubber, or speciality rock-specific compounds—these wheels deliver the contact patch necessary for controlled terrain navigation. The black finish not only looks fantastic but also resists showing dirt and dust, meaning your RC model maintains its professional appearance between cleaning sessions. Unlike decorative wheel covers, these are fully functional wheels engineered to support the weight of your RC vehicle while maintaining predictable handling characteristics across varied terrain types, from rocky outcrops to sandy desert sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for my ready to run RC rock crawler? — Yes, these Axial Walker Evans wheels are fully compatible with any 1/10 scale RC vehicle that features standard 12mm hex hubs, which covers the vast majority of modern rock crawlers, trail trucks, and scale buggies available in the UK. Simply remove your existing wheels and push these on—the 12mm hex connection is the industry standard and will provide a secure fit.
- What tyres should I buy to complete these wheels? — These wheels are designed specifically for standard 1.9-inch RC tyres, including foam crawling compounds, all-terrain rubber, and speciality rock-specific patterns. Axial manufactures a comprehensive range of compatible 1.9-inch tyre options including BF Goodrich, Falken, Maxxis, Nitto, and Ripsaw models, all of which are readily available from RC retailers across the UK.
- Can I use these wheels on both the front and rear of my RC crawler? — Absolutely. These wheels are specified for universal front and rear fitment, meaning you can use them in any position on your 1/10 scale vehicle. Many enthusiasts purchase multiple sets to equip all four wheels with fresh rubber.
- Are these the same size as 1.9-inch beadlock wheels? — These are standard 1.9-inch wheels with a solid 12mm hex mounting system. Beadlock wheels are a different design type where the tyre is held in place by an outer ring—they are not compatible with these particular Axial wheels. However, both styles accept the same 1.9-inch tyres and deliver excellent crawling performance.
- Will these wheels work with foam inserts? — Yes, the 1.9-inch tyres that mount on these wheels can be used with foam inserts. Many serious rock crawlers use dual-stage foam inserts inside their 1.9-inch tyres to provide maximum traction and control on challenging terrain. Simply purchase compatible 1.9-inch foam inserts from brands like Pro-Line or similar manufacturers.
- Are these wheels officially licensed Walker Evans products? — Yes, these are officially licensed Walker Evans Racing wheels, meaning Axial has secured the rights to produce wheels bearing the Walker Evans design and branding. This authenticity adds to the collectability and aesthetic appeal of your RC model.
- What makes the nylon construction special? — The wheels are moulded from a precision blend of nylon materials selected for their optimal combination of strength and flexibility. This allows the wheels to absorb impacts from rocky terrain without cracking, whilst maintaining structural integrity over extended use. Pure brittle materials would shatter; pure flexible materials would deform. The balance Axial achieved delivers durability that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
