Overview
The VITAVON CNC Alu 1.9 Beadlock Wheels represent premium engineering and durability for serious RC crawler enthusiasts across the UK. These high-quality wheels are specifically designed to complement 1.9-inch crawler tyres, making them an essential upgrade for anyone running a TRX-4, TRX-6, SCX10, or Capra platform. Whether you're tackling challenging terrain at your local RC track or pushing your scale crawler to its limits on challenging outdoor courses, these beadlock wheels deliver the precision, strength, and authentic scale appearance that discerning RC car UK hobbyists demand.
Built with meticulous CNC machining and crafted from premium aluminium alloys, these wheels combine lightweight construction with exceptional durability. The beadlock design ensures your 1.9-inch tyres stay securely mounted even during aggressive rock crawling, high-speed bashing, or extreme off-road manoeuvres. Available in striking Titanium as the default colour with alternative options including Purple, Green, Black, and Gold finishes, you can customise your crawler's appearance to match your personal style or your existing RC setup.
VITAVON has established itself as a recognised manufacturer of high-performance RC upgrades and replacement parts, and these beadlock wheels showcase their commitment to quality engineering. Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to optimise your scale crawler's performance, or an enthusiast seeking to enhance your existing electric RC vehicle, these wheels deliver genuine value and uncompromising quality.
Key Features
- Premium CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — Both the hex hubs and wheel rims are meticulously CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminium, ensuring absolute precision and durability that withstands the rigours of regular crawling and bashing without cracking, warping, or wearing prematurely.
- Beadlock Design for Secure Tyre Mounting — The integrated beadlock rings clamp your 1.9-inch crawler tyres firmly in place, preventing tyre rollover, bead separation, or slippage during extreme articulation, high-speed runs, and challenging rock crawling scenarios where standard wheels might fail.
- High-Grade Aluminium 7075 Hex Hubs — The wheel hubs are manufactured from aluminium 7075, a premium aerospace alloy known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to stress cracking, ensuring your wheels remain secure and reliable through countless RC sessions.
- 6061 Aluminium Rims and Beadlock Rings — The outer rims and beadlock retention rings utilise 6061-grade aluminium, offering the perfect balance between light weight and structural rigidity, whilst providing excellent corrosion resistance for long-term durability in various weather conditions.
- 12mm Hex Drive Interface — The standardised 12mm hexagonal drive hub ensures perfect compatibility with the majority of modern 1/10-scale RC crawler platforms, including TRX-4, TRX-6, and SCX10 variants, making installation straightforward and reliable.
- Compact 21.5mm Wheel Width — The precisely engineered 21.5mm width provides optimal ground contact and stability whilst maintaining scale authenticity and allowing proper fitment within your vehicle's body panels and suspension geometry.
- Multiple Colour Options for Personalisation — Available in Titanium (default), Purple, Green, Black, Gold, and Gold+Black combinations, you can select a finish that perfectly complements your RC crawler's colour scheme and personal aesthetic preferences.
- Fits Multiple Popular Crawler Platforms — These wheels are engineered to fit TRX-4, TRX-6, SCX10, and Axial Capra platforms, making them a versatile choice for anyone with these popular crawler bases seeking to upgrade their wheel and tyre setup.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Alu 1.9 Beadlock Wheels represent genuine engineering excellence within the RC hobby market. Each wheel is manufactured through precision CNC machining, a process that ensures tolerances tight enough to guarantee perfect fitment and operation across your RC crawler's drivetrain. The dual-alloy construction methodology—utilising 7075-grade aluminium for the hex hubs and 6061-grade for the rims and beadlock rings—demonstrates sophisticated material engineering; 7075 offers superior strength and crack resistance for the hub areas that experience the most stress, whilst 6061 provides excellent machinability and corrosion resistance for the outer components. This is a detail-oriented engineering approach that you'll see replicated across professional-grade RC components. The 12mm hex drive is the industry standard for 1/10-scale crawlers, ensuring these wheels integrate seamlessly with TRX-4, TRX-6, SCX10, and Capra platforms. The beadlock retention system is particularly noteworthy—rather than relying solely on hex drive friction to hold your tyres in place, the mechanical beadlock design uses dedicated rings to clamp the tyre bead, preventing the kind of catastrophic tyre rollover that can occur during aggressive rock crawling or high-articulation situations. The 21.5mm width specification is optimised for scale realism whilst maintaining practical ground contact characteristics. Whether you're navigating rocky terrain, executing slow-speed scale manoeuvres, or participating in competitive RC crawler events across the UK, these wheels provide the performance foundation that serious enthusiasts require.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these beadlock wheels suitable for beginner RC crawler enthusiasts? — Yes, absolutely. VITAVON beadlock wheels are suitable for crawlers, buggies, drift cars, scale vehicles, and short-course trucks of all skill levels. Whilst they represent a performance upgrade, their installation is straightforward on any 12mm hex platform. Beginners benefit from the improved tyre security and durability these wheels provide, whilst experienced competitors appreciate the engineering precision and reliability they deliver.
- What vehicles do these wheels fit? — These wheels are engineered specifically for TRX-4, TRX-6, SCX10, and Axial Capra platforms, all of which utilise the standardised 12mm hex drive interface. If your RC crawler uses 12mm hex hubs and accepts 1.9-inch tyres, these wheels should be compatible, though you should verify your specific vehicle's specifications before ordering.
- What makes beadlock wheels different from standard RC wheels? — Beadlock wheels incorporate mechanical retention rings that clamp the tyre bead firmly against the wheel rim. This design prevents tyre rollover, bead separation, and slippage during extreme articulation, rock crawling, and challenging terrain navigation. Standard wheels rely only on friction between the hex drive and the vehicle's hub, making them more prone to tyre issues during aggressive driving.
- Can I use different coloured wheels on the same vehicle? — Absolutely. The VITAVON wheels are available in Purple, Green, Black, Gold, Gold+Black, and Titanium options, allowing you to select matching pairs for a uniform appearance or mix colours for a distinctive custom look. Just specify your preferred colour when placing your order, as the default is Titanium.
- How do I care for these aluminium wheels to maintain their appearance? — Aluminium wheels benefit from regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by thorough drying to prevent water spots and oxidation. After particularly dirty sessions, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. Periodic application of a light metal polish will maintain the natural shine of the Titanium, Gold, and other metallic finishes. Store your wheels in a dry location to prevent long-term corrosion.
- What is the 21.5mm width specification, and why does it matter? — The 21.5mm width refers to the overall width of the assembled wheel tyre combination. This dimension is carefully engineered to provide optimal ground contact and stability whilst remaining appropriately scaled for 1/10-scale crawler vehicles and fitting within body panels without rubbing or causing fitment issues.
- Are these wheels compatible with my specific RC crawler? — These wheels fit vehicles with 12mm hex drive hubs that accept 1.9-inch tyres. This includes TRX-4, TRX-6, SCX10, and Capra platforms. If your vehicle uses a different hex size or tyre diameter, you'll need different wheels. Consult your RC crawler's manual or contact our team to verify compatibility.
