Key Features
- Officially Licensed Method Race Wheels Design — These wheels feature genuine Method 105 styling that is officially licensed, meaning you get authentic motorsport-inspired aesthetics rather than generic knock-offs; this matters because authentic design translates to better visual appeal and resale value for your RC model.
- Dual Profile 2.2/3.0 Compatibility — The wheels feature a dual profile design with a 2.2-inch outer diameter and 3.0-inch inner diameter, allowing them to fit most 2.2/3.0 short course tyres available in the UK; this versatility means you can experiment with different tyre brands and compounds without needing multiple wheel sets.
- Bright White Finish — The aggressive all-white colour scheme stands out visually on any RC short course truck or buggy, providing clean aesthetic contrast that photographs well and looks impressive on the track or trail.
- 12mm Hex Mounting System — The 12mm hex hub design is the standard for 1/10 scale RC vehicles and provides reliable, secure connection to your vehicle's drive shafts; this is a proven mounting system used across multiple major RC brands.
- Universal Buggy and Crawler Compatibility — The hub design allows these wheels to mount to any 1/10 Yeti or EXO Terra Buggy, giving you compatibility across Axial's popular platforms; this means whether you own one vehicle or several, these wheels can work on multiple machines in your collection.
- Genuine Axial Product — Manufactured by Axial Racing, these are authentic components rather than third-party alternatives, ensuring consistent quality, durability and fitment that matches factory specifications perfectly.
Technical Performance
The Method 105 wheels are engineered with precision manufacturing that reflects Axial Racing's commitment to quality RC components. The dual profile design at 2.2/3.0 inches accommodates the widest selection of short course tyres, making them an excellent choice whether you're running soft compound competition rubber, durable all-terrain compounds, or dedicated rock crawling rubber. The 41mm overall wheel dimension provides proper ground clearance and visual stance for 1/10 scale buggies and crawlers. The white finish is applied to durable wheel material that resists damage from impacts common in off-road RC driving, whilst remaining light enough not to negatively affect suspension geometry or handling characteristics. The 12mm hex interface uses tight tolerances to ensure no play or wobble at the hub, which is critical for maintaining accurate geometry and predictable handling whether you're racing short course trucks on groomed tracks or crawling rocky terrain. These wheels work equally well on front or rear positions, giving you flexibility in your setup configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for my 1/10 short course truck? — Yes, the Method 105 wheels are specifically designed for 1/10 scale short course applications and are compatible with most 2.2/3.0 short course tyres available in the UK. They work on both front and rear positions, making them a versatile upgrade for any short course platform using 12mm hex drive systems.
- Will these fit my Axial Yeti or EXO Terra Buggy? — The hub design is specifically engineered to fit any 1/10 Yeti or EXO Terra Buggy through the 12mm hex mounting system, so fitment is guaranteed on these platforms. If you own other RC buggies, verify that they use standard 12mm hex hubs before purchasing.
- What tyre sizes do these wheels accept? — The dual profile design accommodates most 2.2/3.0 short course tyres, giving you broad compatibility with tyre options from major manufacturers. Check your current or intended tyre specifications to ensure the sidewall and bead diameter match the 2.2/3.0 profile.
- What is the difference between 2.2 and 3.0 profile tyres? — The 2.2-inch size is the outer diameter and suits standard short course racing compounds, whilst the 3.0-inch profile typically provides a slightly taller overall height and is often used for rock crawling applications. This wheel's dual profile design lets you choose which compound suits your driving style.
- Are these officially licensed wheels? — Yes, the Method 105 design is officially licensed from Method Race Wheels, meaning you get genuine styling rather than unlicensed copies. This ensures authenticity and supports the original designers.
- Do I need any other components to fit these wheels? — These wheels require standard 12mm hex drive shafts or dogbones (typically included with most 1/10 RC short course trucks and buggies) and compatible 2.2/3.0 short course tyres. You do not need special adapters if your vehicle already uses 12mm hex hubs.
