Overview
The Axial 1/10 Trail Ready HD Series 2.2 Wheels represent premium beadlock wheel engineering designed specifically for serious rock crawlers and trail vehicles. These officially licensed wheels combine aggressive all-black styling with genuine performance features that make them an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're tackling technical trails with a Wraith, AX10 Ridgecrest, or SCX10, these wheels deliver the rugged durability and reliability that sets professional-grade RC crawler equipment apart from standard offerings.
Featuring a sophisticated three-piece beadlock design, these 2.2-inch diameter wheels are engineered for maximum versatility and ease of use. The innovative plastic hub adapter eliminates the need for additional aluminium hex hub components, streamlining your setup whilst maintaining compatibility with most standard 2.2 tyres available on the RC market. Perfect for both competitive crawler events and weekend trail bashing sessions, these wheels transform how your 1/10 scale rock crawler performs on demanding terrain.
RC car enthusiasts in the UK will appreciate how the Trail Ready HD Series wheels combine form and function, delivering the aggressive aesthetic that defines modern crawler culture whilst providing the technical precision that experienced drivers demand. The adjustable breather hole design represents genuine engineering innovation, allowing drivers to fine-tune tyre performance characteristics for different terrain conditions and driving styles.
Key Features
- Three-Piece Beadlock Design — The multi-component construction provides superior tyre retention and sidewall support, ensuring your tyres stay firmly mounted during the most demanding climbs and technical obstacles, whilst remaining easy to service and maintain.
- Plastic Hub Adapter Technology — Rather than requiring separate aluminium hex components, these wheels integrate a lightweight plastic hub adapter that reduces overall weight, simplifies assembly, and eliminates compatibility issues with standard 12mm hex axles used across most modern crawler platforms.
- Adjustable Breather Hole System — The innovative breather hole design allows you to vary airflow through the wheel by rotating the inner beadlock ring and selecting between one, two, or three open holes (two, four, or six total), enabling precise tyre pressure and performance tuning without removing the wheel completely.
- Interchangeable Face Design (IFD™) Wheel System — This proprietary system makes updating your crawler's appearance straightforward, allowing you to dress up your vehicle with alternative wheel faces and maintain a constantly fresh aesthetic as trends and personal preferences evolve.
- Universal 2.2 Tyre Compatibility — Engineered to work seamlessly with the vast majority of aftermarket 2.2-inch crawler tyres available in the UK market, these wheels maximise your tyre selection options and upgrade flexibility.
- Easy Six-Screw Assembly — The straightforward disassembly process using just six screws means maintenance, cleaning, and tyre changes can be completed quickly at the trailside without requiring specialist tools or extensive mechanical knowledge.
- Aggressive All-Black Finish — The bold black colour scheme delivers the contemporary styling that modern crawler enthusiasts demand, complementing both scale and full-size vehicle aesthetics whilst maintaining a professional appearance in competition and casual driving environments.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These wheels are engineered for installation in either front or rear positions, providing maximum flexibility in your crawler configuration and allowing you to purchase a single set for complete platform coverage.
Technical Performance
The Axial Trail Ready HD Series 2.2 Wheels represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale rock crawler wheel engineering, combining advanced materials science with practical real-world performance requirements. Built using durable injection-moulded construction, the wheels feature carefully engineered structural geometry that balances lightweight characteristics with the exceptional strength necessary for crawling applications where wheels frequently experience extreme side loads and compression forces. The three-piece beadlock assembly incorporates precision-engineered components that work together seamlessly, ensuring minimal deflection under load whilst remaining simple enough for home mechanics to service without specialist equipment. The 2.2-inch diameter sizing represents the optimal balance point in crawler wheel design, providing sufficient ground clearance and tyre volume for trail use whilst remaining proportionate to 1/10 scale bodywork and suspension geometry. The plastic hub adapter genuinely simplifies installation whilst maintaining the precision fit required for reliable performance, and the adjustable breather hole system demonstrates genuine engineering thoughtfulness, allowing experienced drivers to optimise tyre performance characteristics for their specific driving style and local terrain conditions. These wheels are specifically optimised for use with Axial platform vehicles including the Wraith, AX10 Ridgecrest, and SCX10, though their universal 2.2-inch mounting specification makes them compatible with numerous other crawler platforms available to UK RC enthusiasts.
