Key Features
- Officially Licensed by Fuel Off-Road — These wheels carry the authentic Fuel Off-Road brand licence, making them the only genuine RC4WD interpretation of this iconic real-world wheel design available on the market. This official licence ensures you're getting an accurate scale representation with proper branding and design integrity that casual alternatives simply cannot match.
- CNC Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Each wheel is precision-engineered from solid billet aluminium using advanced CNC machining processes, delivering superior durability, consistent fit, and a professional finish that withstands the demands of serious scale crawling and trail driving without deformation or wear.
- Authentic Scale Detail with FUEL Logos — The wheels feature genuine FUEL Off-Road logos and realistic hex hardware design elements that capture the authentic appearance of full-size Maverick wheels, providing the scale accuracy that dedicated builders and collectors demand for their premium rigs.
- Scale Wheel Nut Cover with FUEL Branding — Each wheel includes a detailed scale wheel nut cover featuring the FUEL logo, adding professional realism to your build and ensuring your crawler looks competition-ready from every angle, even close-up photography.
- Scale Hex Bolts for Realistic Appearance — Rather than standard fasteners, these wheels use precision scale hex bolts that perfectly match real-world wheel aesthetics, allowing you to achieve museum-quality scale accuracy in your RC build without compromising structural integrity.
- Standard 12mm Hex Fitment — Compatible with the industry-standard 12mm hex mounting system, the Maverick wheels work seamlessly with most modern RC crawlers and scale platforms, making them an easy upgrade for existing rigs without requiring custom adaptation.
- Negative Offset Design — The 9mm negative offset positions the wheels further out from the chassis, creating an aggressive, planted stance that improves visual proportions and handling characteristics whilst maintaining scale authenticity.
- Includes Precision Tool Kit — The package includes a miniature scale hex bolt tool specifically designed for the M1.6 scale bolts, ensuring you can install, remove, and maintain your wheels without requiring improvised solutions or damaging the delicate hardware.
- Complete Replacement Hardware Included — The set comes with 24 M3 x 8mm flat head cap screws and 32 M1.6 x 4mm silver hex bolts, providing all the fasteners needed for installation plus spares for maintenance and rebuilds.
- FUEL Decal Sheet Included — Authentic FUEL branding decals are supplied to allow further customisation and personalisation of your rig, enabling you to add additional sponsor logos or brand markings that match real-world vehicles.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD FUEL OFF-ROAD MAVERICK 1.9" wheels represent a significant engineering achievement in scale RC wheel design. Manufactured from billet aluminium through precision CNC machining, each wheel guarantees true geometric accuracy and a finish quality that matches or exceeds full-size automotive standards. The 1.9-inch wheel size (48.3mm outer diameter) has become the standard for serious scale crawlers in the UK RC community, offering the perfect balance between scale proportion and practical tyre selection. With a width of 28.8mm and a centre hole diameter of just 4.2mm, these wheels are engineered for maximum visual impact whilst maintaining compatibility with standard RC platforms. The negative offset of 9mm pushes the wheel face outboard from the chassis, creating the signature aggressive stance characteristic of modern off-road vehicles. Each wheel weighs just 3.36oz (67g), ensuring that mass distribution remains optimised for suspension performance and handling dynamics. The billet aluminium construction provides exceptional durability whilst remaining lightweight compared to cast alternatives, meaning your crawler maintains responsive handling characteristics even when equipped with heavy-duty tyres. The precision engineering ensures perfect fitment with standard 12mm hex fittings, eliminating play or looseness that can compromise steering accuracy and suspension geometry. Whether paired with RC4WD Rock Crusher II X/T 1.9" tyres or compatible alternatives from other manufacturers, these wheels elevate the appearance and performance of any dedicated scale crawler platform.

Compatibility and Tyre Pairing
The RC4WD FUEL OFF-ROAD MAVERICK wheels are optimally designed to work with RC4WD-branded tyres, particularly the Rock Crusher II X/T 1.9" range. While other manufacturers' 1.9-inch tyres may physically fit the wheels, RC4WD cannot guarantee the fit, finish, or performance characteristics when paired with non-RC4WD rubber. This is because different manufacturers design their tyre profiles, bead dimensions, and sidewall stiffness using varying methodologies, which can affect how the tyre seats on the wheel rim and performs during driving. For the best results and to ensure your wheels function exactly as engineered, we recommend pairing them with genuine RC4WD tyres. If you intend to use alternative brand tyres, we recommend contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop on 01543 577278 to verify compatibility before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the RC4WD FUEL OFF-ROAD MAVERICK wheels officially licensed? — Yes, these wheels carry official licensing from Fuel Off-Road, making them the authentic RC interpretation of the Maverick wheel design. This means you're getting genuine branding, accurate proportions, and design elements that match the real-world wheels, ensuring your scale crawler looks completely authentic.
- What wheel size do these come in and what vehicles are they compatible with? — The Maverick wheels are 1.9 inches in diameter (48.3mm), making them suitable for most dedicated scale crawlers and trail rigs that use standard 12mm hex fittings. They're particularly popular for vehicles like the RC4WD Trail Finder 2, Gelände II, and other premium scale platforms designed for serious crawling and rock-crawling applications.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners or do I need experience to install them? — Whilst these are premium wheels designed for detailed scale builds, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. The wheels simply slide onto standard 12mm hex fittings using the included scale bolts and the provided hex bolt tool. If you're new to RC and unsure about installation, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance when you order, or you're welcome to visit our Walsall store for friendly assistance.
- What tyres should I use with these wheels? — RC4WD FUEL OFF-ROAD MAVERICK wheels are optimally designed for use with RC4WD-branded 1.9-inch tyres, with the Rock Crusher II X/T being the popular choice shown in product photos. Other brands' tyres may fit, but compatibility cannot be guaranteed due to different design methodologies between manufacturers. For compatibility advice with non-RC4WD tyres, contact our team before purchasing.
- How much do these wheels weigh and will they affect my crawler's performance? — Each wheel weighs just 3.36oz (67g), which is relatively light for a billet aluminium beadlock wheel of this quality. The overall weight distribution of four wheels is well-balanced, and the precision engineering ensures they won't negatively impact your crawler's suspension geometry or handling characteristics.
- What is the difference between the standard Maverick wheels and other RC4WD wheel options? — The Maverick wheels specifically offer official Fuel Off-Road licensing with authentic brand details, making them ideal if you're building a scale replica of a real vehicle or want absolute authenticity in your rig. The precision CNC machining and billet aluminium construction ensure superior durability compared to cast alternatives, whilst the negative offset creates that aggressive, planted stance characteristic of modern off-road vehicles.
- Can I buy individual wheels if I damage one? — Yes, RC4WD offers single wheel replacement options. You can order the RC4WD FUEL Off-Road Maverick 1.9" Single Beadlock Wheel (Z-Q0077) as a replacement if needed.
- What tools do I need to install these wheels? — The package includes a precision hex bolt tool specifically designed for the M1.6 scale bolts used on these wheels. This is all you need for basic installation. If you plan to adjust or customise further, the optional RC4WD 4-piece Precision Metric Hex/Nut Driver Set (Z-F0030) provides additional flexibility, though it's not essential for standard installation.
- Do these wheels come with the scale bolts and hardware already installed? — No, the wheels arrive unmounted with all hardware supplied separately in the package. This allows you to install the scale bolts and nut covers yourself, ensuring proper tension and alignment for your specific crawler setup. Installation typically takes around 15-20 minutes for all four wheels.
