Overview
The Fastrax Aluminium Beadlock Sixo 1.9" Wheels in Black represent a premium choice for RC enthusiasts looking to upgrade their crawler or off-road RC car setup. These are high-quality beadlock wheels designed specifically for serious RC hobbyists in the UK who demand authentic styling and reliable performance on challenging terrain. Whether you're bashing through rocky terrain, competing in a local RC crawler event, or simply looking to enhance the appearance of your ready to run RC vehicle, these wheels deliver the rugged aesthetic and functional benefits that separates dedicated RC cars from basic models.
Fastrax is a recognised name in the RC hobby, known for producing quality replacement parts and upgrades that help enthusiasts customise and improve their vehicles. The Sixo design is a distinctive wheel pattern that combines aggressive looks with proven performance. These are genuine replacement wheels suitable for a wide range of 1.9" compatible RC models, making them a versatile upgrade for your collection. The beadlock design is particularly important for serious off-road RC drivers who need dependable wheel retention, especially when running lower pressures or tackling demanding courses.
Each package contains four wheels—a complete set for most four-wheel-drive RC vehicles. The black colour finish provides a clean, professional appearance that complements both metallic and solid-colour RC bodies. If you're building a new RC car from scratch or refreshing the look and performance of an existing model, these aluminium beadlock wheels are an essential component that can make a noticeable difference to both appearance and handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Authentic Beadlock Design — The beadlock system uses a separate locking ring that clamps the tyre bead to the wheel, preventing tyre slip and ensuring consistent performance during aggressive driving or competition use. This is essential for serious RC crawler enthusiasts who need absolute reliability when navigating obstacles.
- Premium Aluminium Construction — Cast from quality aluminium alloy, these wheels offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that improves handling and reduces unsprung mass on your RC vehicle. Aluminium also dissipates heat more effectively than plastic alternatives, which is beneficial during extended driving sessions.
- 1.9" Wheel Size — The 1.9-inch diameter makes these wheels compatible with a broad range of popular 1.9" RC tyres and vehicles, allowing you to choose from a wide selection of tyre options to suit your specific driving style and terrain preferences.
- Sixo Wheel Pattern — The distinctive Sixo design provides an aggressive, scale-realistic appearance that enhances the visual appeal of your RC crawler or truck, whilst the pattern geometry is optimised for off-road performance and traction.
- Black Anodised Finish — The black colour is applied through an anodising process that provides durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your wheels maintain their appearance through mud, water, and intense use typical of RC vehicles in the UK hobby community.
- Four-Wheel Set — This package includes all four wheels needed to complete a full wheel upgrade on any four-wheel-drive RC vehicle, eliminating the need to purchase multiple sets or search for matching pairs.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium Beadlock Sixo wheels represent engineered precision in RC component design. The aluminium construction provides exceptional rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile, which directly impacts your vehicle's acceleration, deceleration, and cornering performance. The beadlock mechanism is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent performance session after session. These wheels are designed to work with standard 1.9" RC tyres and fit vehicles with 1.9" wheel hubs. The anodised finish provides long-term durability against the elements commonly encountered during RC driving, whether you're bashing in muddy UK countryside locations or running your crawler in competitive events. The engineering philosophy behind these wheels focuses on reliability and performance, making them suitable for everything from beginner-level RC vehicles to highly tuned competition crawlers. The weight distribution across the wheel face is optimised to reduce vibration and improve stability at various speeds and on different surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a beadlock wheel and why should I choose beadlock wheels for my RC crawler? — A beadlock wheel features a separate locking ring that grips the tyre bead and prevents the tyre from slipping on the wheel during aggressive driving, cornering, or when running at lower pressures. This is particularly valuable for RC crawlers that need maximum traction and reliability on obstacles, rocks, and challenging terrain. Beadlock wheels are the preferred choice for serious off-road RC enthusiasts and competition drivers in the UK who demand professional-grade performance.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners to RC crawling? — Whilst beadlock wheels are typically chosen by experienced RC users, they are absolutely suitable for beginners who want to invest in quality components from the start. The Fastrax Sixo wheels will work with any ready to run RC crawler or truck that accepts 1.9" wheels, and the beadlock design simply provides superior performance that you'll appreciate as your driving skills develop.
- What tyres do I need for these wheels? — The Fastrax Aluminium Beadlock Sixo wheels accept any standard 1.9" RC tyres. You can choose from foam tyres for indoor or smooth surfaces, standard rubber tyres for general bashing, or specialised crawler tyres designed for maximum off-road traction. Your choice depends on whether you're using your RC vehicle for recreational bashing or competitive crawler events.
- Will these fit my RC vehicle? — These wheels are designed for vehicles with 1.9" wheel hubs. If your RC vehicle was originally supplied with 1.9" wheels or tyres, these Fastrax wheels will be compatible. If you're uncertain about your vehicle's wheel size, check the vehicle manual or measure your current wheels—compatibility is straightforward once you confirm the 1.9" specification.
- How do beadlock wheels improve performance? — The beadlock design prevents tyre slip on the wheel rim, which maintains consistent handling characteristics and improves traction. This is especially important when running lower tyre pressures to improve grip on rocky terrain, or during high-speed cornering where standard wheels might experience tyre movement that affects steering response and overall vehicle behaviour.
- What is the advantage of aluminium wheels over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium wheels offer superior strength, better heat dissipation, lower unsprung weight, and a more premium appearance compared to plastic alternatives. Over extended driving sessions, especially in competitive use, aluminium wheels maintain their performance characteristics and provide the reliability expected in quality RC equipment available through authorised UK retailers.
