HOBAO DC-1 CNC ALUM. BEADLOCK 1.9" 6-SPOKE WHEELS BLACK (2) H230117B

Overview

The HoBao DC-1 CNC Aluminium Beadlock 1.9" 6-Spoke Wheels in Black represent a premium upgrade for your 1/10 scale rock crawler. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to enhance your DC-1 Trail Crawler or a dedicated off-road basher searching for high-quality replacement wheels, this CNC-machined aluminium wheel set delivers exceptional durability and authentic styling. These wheels are purpose-engineered for crawling and technical terrain, making them an ideal choice for serious RC car UK hobbyists who demand nothing but the best from their equipment.

HoBao has established a reputation for manufacturing precision RC components, and these beadlock wheels exemplify that commitment to quality. The CNC aluminium construction ensures that every wheel is machined to exacting tolerances, while the beadlock ring design provides the secure mounting and authentic appearance that rock crawler enthusiasts demand. The 6-spoke design is not merely aesthetic—it reflects decades of off-road engineering principles, distributing stress evenly across the wheel structure to maximise durability during aggressive crawling sessions. Available exclusively in a striking black finish, these wheels will transform the appearance of your 1/10 scale crawler whilst simultaneously improving performance on challenging terrain.

Each set includes two wheels complete with 12mm hex fittings, allowing for straightforward installation on both front and rear positions. The 1.9" diameter is specifically matched to the DC-1 platform, ensuring perfect compatibility with your crawler's suspension geometry and providing optimal ground clearance for navigating obstacles. For UK RC car enthusiasts seeking to upgrade their crawler with components that combine aesthetic appeal with genuine performance benefits, this wheel set represents an excellent investment.

Key Features

• CNC Aluminium Construction — Every wheel is precision-machined from solid aluminium using computer numerical control (CNC) technology, ensuring perfect concentricity and durability that cannot be matched by injection-moulded alternatives; this manufacturing process guarantees that your wheels will remain perfectly balanced and perform consistently across thousands of crawling sessions.
• Beadlock Ring Design — The integrated beadlock ring securely locks the tyre bead to the wheel, preventing tyre roll-off during extreme articulation and low-pressure crawling conditions; this is an essential feature for serious rock crawlers who regularly tackle technical terrain where tyre security is paramount.
• Authentic 6-Spoke Configuration — The classic 6-spoke design is inspired by full-size off-road engineering and provides optimal strength-to-weight ratio whilst maintaining the authentic appearance that scale enthusiasts demand; the spoke geometry distributes stress evenly, maximising wheel longevity during aggressive use.
• Professional Black Finish — The matte black finish provides a sophisticated, purposeful appearance that complements modern crawler aesthetics; the quality anodised coating resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through extended use in wet and muddy conditions.
• 12mm Hex Mounting System — Standard 12mm hex fittings ensure seamless integration with your DC-1 Trail Crawler and compatibility with most aftermarket hubs available in the 1/10 crawler market, providing flexibility for future customisation and upgrades.
• Front and Rear Compatibility — Each wheel is perfectly balanced and engineered for use in both front and rear positions, allowing you to purchase additional sets for complete quad-wheel upgrades or maintain matched sets for consistent handling characteristics across all four corners of your crawler.
• Optimal 1.9" Diameter — The 1.9" wheel size is precisely calibrated for the DC-1 platform, providing the ideal balance between ground clearance, approach angle, and departure angle that is essential for navigating rocky terrain, water crossings, and extreme obstacles without compromising suspension articulation.

Technical Performance

These CNC aluminium beadlock wheels represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale crawler wheel engineering. The precision machining process eliminates the concentricity issues common in cast or injection-moulded wheels, delivering perfect balance that translates to smooth operation and reduced vibration across all terrain types. The beadlock ring mechanism is not a superficial aesthetic feature—it is a genuine functional component that maintains tyre security during the extreme articulation and low-pressure conditions that define serious rock crawling. The 6-spoke design provides superior strength compared to higher-spoke-count alternatives, as it distributes wheel loads across larger material sections, reducing the risk of spoke fatigue and fracture when navigating sharp rocks and high-consequence terrain. Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminium and protected by professional anodising, these wheels resist corrosion from saltwater environments, wet UK weather conditions, and aggressive chemical cleaners. The 12mm hex interface provides secure, vibration-free mounting, and the wheels are balanced individually to ensure that your crawler maintains precision handling even at speed. Whether you're tackling rock gardens, water crossings, or technical competition courses, these wheels deliver the durability and reliability that separates casual bashers from serious off-road RC enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels compatible with my HoBao DC-1 Trail Crawler? — Yes, these wheels are engineered specifically for the DC-1 platform and feature 12mm hex fittings that provide perfect compatibility with the DC-1's stock hub system. The 1.9" diameter is optimised for the DC-1's suspension geometry and provides ideal ground clearance for crawling applications.
• What tyres should I pair with these wheels? — The 1.9" beadlock wheel format is compatible with standard 1.9" crawler tyres available from multiple manufacturers. The beadlock ring allows you to run lower tyre pressures for enhanced traction and traction control, a critical advantage when tackling technical terrain. We recommend consulting with our expert staff regarding specific tyre recommendations for your intended use case.
• What is the advantage of CNC machining over cast wheels? — CNC-machined wheels offer superior concentricity, which means the wheel is perfectly balanced and true to within tight tolerances. This eliminates vibration and runout that you would experience with cast wheels, resulting in smoother operation, better handling characteristics, and improved longevity. CNC wheels also provide superior strength due to the material properties inherent in the machining process.
• Can I use these wheels on the front and rear of my crawler? — Yes, absolutely. These wheels are engineered for both front and rear use, and each wheel is individually balanced and tested. You can create a matched quad-wheel setup by purchasing multiple sets, ensuring consistent handling characteristics across all four corners of your vehicle.
• Are these wheels waterproof? — The wheels themselves are fully waterproof and aluminium construction is inherently resistant to corrosion. The professional anodised coating provides additional protection against moisture and aggressive chemicals. These wheels are suitable for wet environments, water crossings, and use in muddy conditions common in UK off-road crawling.
• Will these wheels improve my crawling performance? — Yes, in several ways. The beadlock ring allows you to run lower tyre pressures for enhanced traction, the CNC precision ensures perfectly balanced operation without vibration, and the 1.9" diameter provides optimal ground clearance for the DC-1 platform. If you're upgrading from stock plastic wheels, you'll notice immediate improvements in traction, handling precision, and terrain feedback.
• How many wheels do I need to purchase? — Each package includes two wheels. A complete upgrade requires two packages (four wheels total) for all four corners of your crawler. Many enthusiasts purchase one set initially and then add additional sets as part of a staged upgrade programme.
