The combination of quality construction, proven design, and striking visual appeal makes these wheels an excellent choice for anyone serious about their 1/5 scale RC buggy.
Key Features
- Beadlock Wheel System — The red beadlock rings clamp the tyre bead securely to the wheel rim, preventing tyre separation during high-speed cornering and aggressive driving manoeuvres. This is essential for maintaining consistent handling characteristics and tyre grip throughout your driving session, particularly important on rough terrain where suspension articulation is extreme.
- 24mm Hex Drive Connection — The standardised 24mm hex allows seamless installation onto your DBXL-E 2.0's front and rear axles without requiring adaptors or modifications, ensuring a secure and reliable mechanical connection that withstands the stresses of competitive RC driving.
- 4.75-Inch Diameter — This substantial wheel size delivers excellent ground clearance for rocky and rough terrain, whilst maintaining a balanced stance and handling feel that optimises your buggy's acceleration, braking response, and corner speed during track sessions or outdoor bashing.
- Front/Rear Versatility — These wheels are engineered for use on both front and rear axles of your DBXL-E 2.0, providing flexibility in your setup strategy and allowing you to customise your wheel selection based on track conditions or driving style preferences.
- Silver Grey with Red Accents — The eye-catching colour scheme combines professional silver grey wheel faces with vibrant red beadlock rings, creating a striking visual impact that gives your RC buggy an authentic, race-ready appearance whilst remaining practical and durable for serious driving.
- 2.4-Inch Wheel Width — The 60.7mm width provides excellent tyre contact patch and sidewall support, contributing to predictable handling characteristics and responsive steering feedback across varying terrain and track surfaces.
- Wheels Only Package — These are premium wheels supplied without tyres, allowing you to select the exact tyre compound and tread pattern that matches your specific driving style, track conditions, or terrain preferences for truly customised performance tuning.
Technical Performance
The Losi 1/5 Front/Rear 4.75 Beadlock Wheels represent the pinnacle of 1/5 scale RC wheel engineering, engineered specifically for the DBXL-E 2.0 and other compatible 1/5 scale buggy platforms. The beadlock design is a critical component in high-performance RC racing, as it maintains consistent tyre pressure and bead seating even under the extreme lateral forces experienced during high-speed cornering, aggressive jumping, and challenging off-road driving conditions. The 4.75-inch outer diameter combined with the 2.4-inch width creates a substantial contact patch that provides excellent traction across various terrain types, from hard-packed racing tracks to rocky and sandy off-road environments common throughout the UK. The 24mm hex drive specification is the industry standard for 1/5 scale buggies, ensuring compatibility with the DBXL-E 2.0's drivetrain whilst providing a secure mechanical connection that can handle the significant torque and acceleration forces generated by modern 1/5 scale powertrains. The silver grey and red colour scheme combines aesthetic appeal with practical visibility, making it easier to track your RC buggy's orientation during high-speed driving or from a distance at RC tracks. These wheels are supplied as wheels only (without tyres), giving you complete freedom to select tyre compounds that match your driving style, local track conditions, and performance objectives. The construction quality reflects Losi's reputation as a recognised leader in off-road RC engineering, with precision manufacturing tolerances that ensure balanced rotation and predictable handling characteristics through every driving session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are beadlock wheels and why do I need them for my RC buggy? — Beadlock wheels feature locking rings that clamp the tyre bead firmly to the wheel rim, preventing tyre separation during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who are pushing their buggies to the limit, beadlock wheels are essential because they maintain consistent tyre pressure and grip characteristics, resulting in more predictable handling and better overall performance compared to standard wheels.
- Are these wheels compatible with my RC car? — These wheels are specifically engineered for the Losi DBXL-E 2.0 and any other 1/5 scale RC buggy platform featuring 24mm hex axles. If your vehicle uses a different hex size or is a different scale, these wheels will not be compatible. We recommend checking your vehicle's specifications before ordering.
- Do these wheels come with tyres? — No, these are wheels only and do not include tyres. This gives you the flexibility to select the exact tyre compound and tread pattern that suits your driving style and local conditions. You can source 1/5 scale beadlock tyres separately from RC Model Shop or other specialist retailers.
- What is the difference between beadlock wheels and standard wheels? — Standard wheels rely on friction alone to keep the tyre seated on the rim, which can lead to tyre slippage under extreme cornering forces. Beadlock wheels use mechanical locking rings that physically clamp the tyre bead to the wheel, providing a more secure fit that maintains consistent pressure and grip throughout aggressive driving sessions, making them the preferred choice for competitive RC racing and high-performance driving.
- Can I use these wheels on both front and rear axles? — Yes, these wheels are designed for front/rear versatility on the DBXL-E 2.0, giving you flexibility in your setup and allowing you to standardise wheel inventory across your buggy for easier maintenance and parts management.
- What colour are these wheels? — The wheels feature silver grey faces with vibrant red beadlock rings, creating a striking and professional appearance that gives your RC buggy an authentic race-ready aesthetic.
