Key Features
- 1.9-Inch Diameter Design — The precise 1.9-inch wheel diameter is engineered specifically for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, maintaining proper scale proportions and ensuring compatibility with suspension geometry designed for this size specification.
- Retro Slot Beadlock Style — The classic slot beadlock design captures the authentic look of vintage off-road wheels whilst providing genuine functional benefits, including secure tyre seating and professional appearance that resonates with scale crawler purists.

- 12mm Hex Fitting — The standard 12mm hex connection ensures broad compatibility across the Axial rock crawler range and other manufacturers' vehicles utilising this universal fitting standard, eliminating compatibility concerns.
- Plastic Construction — Lightweight plastic material keeps unsprung weight to a minimum, contributing to responsive handling and improved traction characteristics over rocky, technical terrain where weight savings directly impact performance.
- Front and Rear Positioning — These wheels are engineered for use in both front and rear positions, offering flexibility in setup and allowing you to achieve a cohesive, matched appearance across all four corners of your rock crawler.

Technical Performance
The Axial 1.9 Retro Slot Beadlock Wheels are manufactured from engineered plastic compound selected for its durability in demanding rock crawling environments whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for responsive 1/10 scale performance. The 1.9-inch diameter specification is specifically calibrated for 1/10 scale proportions, ensuring your rock crawler maintains authentic visual scale and proper suspension geometry. The beadlock design, characterised by the slot detailing, provides genuine functional advantages—the mechanical bead-locking principle helps secure the tyre to the wheel rim, preventing tyre migration during extreme articulation and challenging obstacle navigation. The 12mm hex fitting utilises the industry-standard connection that dominates the rock crawler segment, ensuring your wheels integrate seamlessly with the suspension systems of recognised platforms including the Axial SCX10 III family. The satin finish coating resists glare and UV degradation, maintaining appearance through extended outdoor use. These wheels are engineered as a direct fit upgrade, meaning they integrate without modification or additional hardware requirements on compatible platforms. The weight distribution and inertial characteristics are optimised for rock crawler dynamics, where progressive steering response and predictable handling through technical terrain separates competitive setups from casual builds. Whether navigating rocky outcrops, technical climbing courses, or scale trail environments, these wheels deliver the visual authenticity and structural reliability that serious UK RC crawler enthusiasts demand.
