Key Features
- Officially Licensed by Black Rhino Wheels — This product carries genuine authorisation from Black Rhino, the renowned manufacturer of premium off-road wheels, ensuring authenticity and design integrity that you won't find in non-licensed alternatives, which matters significantly if you're serious about scale accuracy and brand recognition in your RC crawler.
- Cast Aluminium Front Face — The wheel face is manufactured from cast aluminium rather than cheaper plastic alternatives, providing superior durability, heat dissipation, and a premium appearance that will withstand the demands of serious rock crawling whilst maintaining its finish through countless sessions on rough terrain.
- 24 Scale Setscrews Pre-installed — Each wheel features 24 scale setscrews factory-installed into the wheel face, eliminating time-consuming assembly and delivering the intricate, authentic military-style detailing that distinguishes a professional-looking build from a basic setup.
- Black Rhino Logo Hub Cap — The hub cap features the Black Rhino logo moulded directly into it, providing branded authenticity and scale detailing that elevates the overall appearance of your complete RC crawler and demonstrates attention to authentic design.
- Dual-Offset Hex Adapter System — This innovative feature allows you to configure the wheels in two different offset positions: either a +5mm offset for standard stability or a +10mm offset for increased width and clearance with larger tyres, giving you configuration flexibility without purchasing additional wheel sets.
- Internal Bead-Loc Style Construction — The internal bead-loc design captures and secures your tyre bead effectively, preventing tyre slip under extreme driving conditions and providing the reliability you need during extended crawling sessions or competitive events.

Technical Performance
These 1/6 scale wheels represent a significant step up in quality and functionality for serious SCX6 rock crawler owners. The 2.9-inch diameter provides the authentic proportion that 1/6 scale demands whilst offering practical ground clearance for technical terrain. The cast aluminium construction combined with the dual-offset hex adapter system demonstrates engineering that prioritises both visual authenticity and functional adaptability. Unlike fixed-offset wheels common in budget RC offerings, the ability to switch between +5mm and +10mm offsets means you can optimise your crawler's stance for different scenarios—narrower offset for tight technical sections, wider offset for stability on looser terrain or when running oversized tyres. The internal bead-loc system is engineered to maintain tyre security under the demanding compression and articulation cycles inherent to rock crawling, ensuring your investment in quality tyres remains secure throughout extended driving sessions. The gunmetal aluminium finish is selected to complement contemporary off-road vehicle aesthetics whilst maintaining durability through exposure to mud, water, and abrasive terrain particles. Each wheel comes complete with all necessary fastening hardware including M4x16 BHCS for assembly, M3x30 SHCS for hex adapter securement, and M2.5x8 SHCS for hub cap installation, with components engineered to tolerances that ensure smooth, reliable operation without excessive play or binding.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my Axial SCX6 rock crawler? — Yes, these Pro-Line Black Rhino Armory wheels are engineered specifically for the Axial SCX6 platform with 17mm hex compatibility. They are compatible with all SCX6 variants including the SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler 4WD Rock Crawler and the SCX6 Trail Honcho 4WD, available in both RTR (Ready to Run) and kit configurations.
- What is the advantage of the dual-offset hex adapter system? — The dual-offset design allows you to configure these wheels in two different positions without purchasing additional wheel sets. Use the +5mm offset for a more conservative stance and tighter cornering geometry, or the +10mm offset for increased track width, enhanced stability on loose terrain, and clearance for wider tyres. This flexibility means you can adapt your setup to different crawling conditions and personal preferences.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners to RC crawling? — These wheels are best suited to intermediate and advanced rock crawler enthusiasts who appreciate scale authenticity, quality manufacturing, and functional versatility. The assembly process requires careful attention to the bead-loc ring installation and hex adapter configuration, so basic mechanical competency is recommended. If you're new to RC crawling, you may prefer simpler fixed-offset wheel options initially.
- How do I choose between the +5mm and +10mm offset? — The +5mm offset provides a narrower stance, which is ideal for technical rock crawling where precise positioning matters and you want maximum articulation without tyre rub. The +10mm offset increases your track width for better stability on looser terrain, improved high-speed handling, and clearance when running oversized tyres. Most serious crawlers maintain both setups for different scenarios.
- What tyres are compatible with these wheels? — These 2.9-inch wheels are designed for 1/6 scale rock crawler tyres fitted to the SCX6 platform. The internal bead-loc system accommodates various tyre options, allowing you to experiment with different tread patterns and compound choices to suit your specific terrain and driving style.
- Can I use these wheels on other RC vehicles? — These wheels are engineered and tested specifically for the Axial SCX6 with 17mm hex compatibility. Using them on other vehicles is not recommended, as they may not fit correctly or function as intended, compromising both performance and safety.
- Are these wheels durable for serious rock crawling? — Yes, the cast aluminium construction combined with quality fastening hardware ensures these wheels withstand demanding rock crawling environments. The sealed internal bead-loc system prevents tyre slip, and the gunmetal finish resists corrosion from mud and moisture exposure during extended off-road sessions.
- How much do these wheels weigh compared to plastic alternatives? — The aluminium construction is heavier than plastic wheels but provides superior durability, heat management, and a more realistic 1:6 scale weight distribution that enhances the overall driving characteristics and authenticity of your SCX6.
