Overview
The PRO 1/6 Method 305 Aluminium F/R 2.9 inch +2 Offset SCX6 Wheel Faces represent a premium upgrade for your Axial SCX6 rock crawler. Pro-Line Racing, in collaboration with the iconic Method brand, has engineered these CNC-machined aluminium wheel faces to deliver authentic scale replica styling combined with genuine performance benefits. Whether you're a dedicated scale rock-crawler enthusiast, a competitive RC car UK competitor, or someone seeking to enhance the visual appeal and functionality of your 1/6 scale rig, these wheel faces offer the perfect combination of form and function.
These are not simply cosmetic additions to your ready to run RC setup—they represent a thoughtful engineering solution that improves both the appearance and the practical performance of your Axial SCX6. The Method 305 NV style draws inspiration from the legendary 1:1 Method Racing wheel design, faithfully recreated in 1/6 scale with meticulous attention to detail. The distinctive 2-tone silver and black anodised finish, combined with engraved Method logos and included black centre wheel-nut caps, gives your RC car UK standard crawler an unmistakably professional appearance that stands out on the trail or at the local RC club.
What truly sets these wheel faces apart for UK RC enthusiasts is the engineering behind them. The +2mm offset over stock SCX6 wheels provides significantly more tyre clearance around the steering links, a critical consideration for anyone running a variety of different tyre compounds and profiles on their scale crawler. This additional clearance prevents tyre rub during full lock turning manoeuvres, allowing for better articulation and more responsive steering inputs without compromise.
Key Features
- Officially Licensed Method 305 NV Scale Replica Design — These wheel faces are produced under official licence from Method and represent a faithful 1:1 scale replica of the genuine Method 305 wheel design, bringing authentic professional styling to your RC crawler that genuine enthusiasts will immediately recognise and appreciate.
- CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — The wheel faces are precision-engineered from aluminium alloy via CNC machining, ensuring dimensional accuracy, consistent quality, and a durable platform that will withstand the rigours of serious scale rock-crawling without cracking or deforming.
- Distinctive 2-Tone Silver and Black Anodised Finish — The professional two-colour anodised finish perfectly recreates the appearance of the original Method wheel, with polished silver spokes contrasting beautifully against the matte black background, creating a visually striking aesthetic that photographs extremely well.
- +2mm Offset for Enhanced Tyre Clearance — The additional +2mm offset compared to standard SCX6 wheels provides critical extra clearance around your steering linkages and suspension components, allowing you to run a wider variety of tyre profiles and compounds without suffering from binding or rubbing during full steering lock.
- 17mm Hex Pocket Compatibility — These wheel faces feature a standard 17mm hex pocket, ensuring seamless compatibility with the stock Axial SCX6 plastic bead-lock wheel backs and associated hardware—no modifications or adaptations required.
- Engraved Method Logos and Detailing — Every wheel face features carefully engraved Method branding and authentic design details that faithfully reproduce the 1:1 wheel appearance, demonstrating the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the design process.
- Included Black Centre Wheel-Nut Caps — Each pair includes two black centre wheel-nut caps that complete the look, providing both aesthetic appeal and practical protection for the centre hardware while maintaining the professional scale appearance.
- Compatible with Stock SCX6 Hardware — These aluminium wheel faces bolt directly to your existing stock Axial SCX6 plastic bead-lock components using the factory hardware, meaning no additional purchases or specialist tools are required for installation—a straightforward bolt-on upgrade.
- Front or Rear Application Flexibility — Whether you need to upgrade your front wheels, rear wheels, or both, these Method 305 faces work equally well in either position on your SCX6, providing design flexibility for your crawler build.
Technical Performance
From an engineering perspective, these Method 305 wheel faces represent a significant step forward in scale crawler wheel design. The CNC-machined aluminium construction ensures exceptional dimensional consistency and durability compared to cast alternatives, with tighter tolerances that translate to more responsive handling and better weight distribution across your rig. The 2-tone silver and black anodised finish is not merely decorative—anodising provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and oxidation, ensuring your wheels maintain their appearance through countless trail sessions and varying weather conditions across the UK.
The critical performance enhancement comes from the +2mm offset specification. This seemingly small dimensional increase has a profound practical effect on how your SCX6 performs on technical terrain. By moving the tyre mounting point outward relative to the chassis centreline, you gain additional clearance around the front steering linkages and suspension articulation points. This proves particularly valuable when tackling the tightest technical sections where you need full steering lock and maximum wheel articulation simultaneously. Without this offset, many modern tyre compounds and wider profiles will contact the suspension components during turns, creating binding that reduces steering precision and can eventually cause component fatigue. The 17mm hex pocket provides secure mounting to your stock bead-lock plastic wheel backs, creating a hybrid wheel system that combines the durability and styling of aluminium faces with the practical strength and flexibility of plastic bead-lock wheels—exactly what experienced scale crawler enthusiasts prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheel faces compatible with my Axial SCX6 rock crawler? — Yes, these Method 305 wheel faces are specifically engineered for the Axial SCX6 platform. They bolt directly to your stock plastic bead-lock wheel backs using the factory hardware and 17mm hex pocket, requiring no modifications or additional components.
- What is the difference between +2 offset and standard offset wheels for the SCX6? — The +2mm offset moves your tyre mounting point 2mm further away from the chassis centreline compared to stock SCX6 wheels. This provides additional clearance around steering linkages and suspension articulation points, preventing tyre rub during full lock turns and allowing you to run a greater variety of tyre profiles without compromise.
- Will these wheel faces improve my SCX6's performance on the trail? — These wheel faces deliver both aesthetic and functional improvements. Visually, they transform your rig with professional scale styling. Functionally, the additional offset reduces steering bind and tyre rub, which translates to more responsive steering inputs and better articulation on technical terrain—particularly valuable when tackling tight rock gardens and narrow line challenges.
- Do I need to purchase anything else to install these wheel faces? — No, these wheel faces are a complete bolt-on upgrade. They come with the two face pieces and the required centre wheel-nut caps, and they mount to your existing stock SCX6 plastic bead-lock wheels using the factory hardware. No additional tools, adapters, or components are necessary for installation.
- How do the Method 305 faces compare to other aftermarket SCX6 wheel options available in the UK? — The Method 305 represents a premium choice offering official licensing, CNC-machined aluminium construction, and the distinctive 2-tone anodised finish that authentically replicates the genuine 1:1 Method wheel design. Combined with the practical +2mm offset advantage, these faces offer superior styling, durability, and performance compared to generic plastic wheel alternatives.
- Will these wheels work with different tyre brands and profiles? — Yes, that is precisely why the +2mm offset proves so valuable. These faces allow you to experiment with various tyre compounds, profiles, and brands across your RC car UK platform without encountering clearance issues with your steering linkages. Many enthusiasts appreciate this flexibility when dialling in their setup for specific terrain types.
- Are the Method 305 faces suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These are a straightforward bolt-on upgrade requiring only basic RC knowledge. Beginners benefit from the improved steering clearance and enhanced appearance immediately upon installation, making them an excellent investment for any SCX6 owner regardless of experience level.
- How durable are the anodised wheel faces? — The anodised aluminium finish is extremely durable and corrosion-resistant, designed to withstand repeated trail sessions, exposure to mud, water, and varying UK weather conditions. Anodising creates a protective oxide layer that far exceeds the durability of painted finishes, ensuring your wheels maintain their stunning appearance for years of use.
