Key Features

• CNC-Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Each wheel is precision-engineered from solid billet aluminium using advanced CNC machining techniques, ensuring superior durability, perfect concentricity and consistently tight tolerances that deliver reliable performance across extended RC crawler sessions.
• Chrome Finish — The striking chrome plating not only provides an authentic scale appearance reminiscent of classic off-road wheels, but also offers superior corrosion resistance compared to painted finishes, protecting your investment during outdoor RC adventures and muddy terrain exploration.
• Classic 10-Hole Beadlock Design — The iconic 10-hole beadlock design delivers authentic scale realism whilst the beadlock mechanism provides secure tyre retention, critical for maintaining grip during aggressive crawling manoeuvres and rock-hopping scenarios where standard wheels might allow tyre slippage.
• Standard 12mm Hex Fitment — Compatible with the vast majority of modern RC crawler platforms including RC4WD, Axial, Vaterra and HPI models, this universal fitment means these wheels integrate seamlessly with existing rigs or provide exceptional flexibility when building new crawler projects.
• Included Locking Hubs in Multiple Colours — Each set includes two red and two black locking hubs, enabling custom colour coordination across your crawler's wheelbase or allowing rapid hub swaps between different scale wheel sets without purchasing additional hardware.
• Complete Installation Toolkit — The package includes a dedicated locking hub installation tool and miniature scale hex bolt tool specifically designed for M1.6 scale bolts, eliminating the need to source specialist tools and enabling immediate installation and customisation.
• Lightweight Engineering — At just 2.24oz (63.4g) per wheel, the lightweight aluminium construction reduces unsprung mass, improving suspension response and handling whilst maintaining the structural integrity necessary for serious crawler work.
• Positive Offset Design — The 0.05-inch (1.7mm) positive offset geometry positions the wheels for optimal weight distribution and improves the scale appearance of your crawler build, giving your rig the authentic stance favoured by dedicated RC enthusiasts.

Technical Performance

These 1.9-inch beadlock wheels represent the absolute pinnacle of scale crawler wheel engineering. The CNC-machined billet aluminium construction guarantees dimensional accuracy and longevity, with each wheel manufactured to tolerances that ensure perfect fitment on 12mm hex hub systems. The 54.0mm outer diameter and 26.0mm width create an authentic proportion that complements scale crawler bodies perfectly, whilst the 5.2mm centre hole diameter provides compatibility with standard RC4WD hex adapters and conversion systems. The positive offset geometry improves stance and weight distribution, critical considerations when tackling technical terrain in your RC crawler. These wheels are engineered specifically for serious scale crawling applications where authentic appearance and genuine performance must work in harmony. The chrome finish provides both aesthetic appeal and practical corrosion resistance, essential for RC models exposed to outdoor elements, water crossings and muddy track conditions. When paired with compatible RC4WD 1.9-inch tyres such as the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R range, these wheels deliver exceptional grip and authentic scale proportions that transform your crawler's on-track presence.

What's in the Box

• 4x Classic 10-Hole Chrome 1.9" Beadlock Wheels
• 2x Red Locking Hubs
• 2x Black Locking Hubs
• 1x Locking Hub Installation Tool
• 1x Miniature Scale Hex Bolt Tool for M1.6 Scale Bolts (1.5mm hex) (Z-S1328)

Compatibility and Installation

These wheels fit the following RC crawler platforms directly without additional adapters: RC4WD Gelande II (all RTR and kit versions), RC4WD Trail Finder 2 and Trail Finder 2 LWB (both RTR and kit versions), Axial SCX10, Axial SCX10 II, Axial Wraith, Vaterra Ascender, and HPI Venture FJ Cruiser (though slight rubbing may occur on some applications). Installing these wheels on Traxxas TRX-4 trucks requires the separate RC4WD 12mm Wheel Hex Conversion for Traxxas TRX-4 (Z-S1844), which adapts the TRX-4's hex system for compatibility with RC4WD 12mm components. The wheels are designed to work optimally with RC4WD 1.9-inch scale tyres, and whilst cross-brand fitment is sometimes possible, RC4WD cannot guarantee compatibility with third-party tyre manufacturers due to varying design methodologies across the industry.

Replacement Hardware and Optional Parts

RC4WD provides comprehensive support for maintaining and customising your wheels through available replacement hardware. Replacement steel socket head cap screws (M2.5 x 6mm in black) and miniature scale hex bolts (M1.6 x 5mm in silver) are available separately should you need spare fasteners. The miniature scale hex bolt tool (1.5mm hex) is included in the box but additional tools such as the RC4WD 4-piece precision metric hex and nut driver set (Z-F0030) or the scale front locking hub installation tool (Z-S0343) can be purchased to expand your toolkit for extensive crawler builds and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these RC4WD beadlock wheels suitable for my RC crawler? — These wheels fit any RC crawler platform with a standard 12mm hex system, including RC4WD Trail Finder and Gelande II models, Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II, Axial Wraith, Vaterra Ascender, and HPI Venture FJ Cruiser. TRX-4 owners require an additional hex conversion kit. Check the manufacturer specifications for your specific crawler model to confirm 12mm hex compatibility.
• What tyres should I use with these wheels? — These wheels are engineered to work perfectly with RC4WD 1.9-inch scale crawler tyres, particularly the popular Goodyear Wrangler MT/R range. Whilst other manufacturers' tyres may sometimes fit, RC4WD cannot guarantee fitment due to varying design standards across the industry. For optimal performance and reliability, RC4WD tyres and wheels should be paired together.
• Do I need any special tools to install these wheels? — The complete installation toolkit is included in the box, featuring a locking hub installation tool and a miniature scale hex bolt tool specifically designed for M1.6 scale bolts (1.5mm hex). No additional tools are required for basic installation, though additional precision hex driver sets are available if you're building multiple crawler rigs.
• Why choose beadlock wheels over standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels feature mechanical retention rings that clamp the tyre bead securely to the wheel, preventing tyre slippage during aggressive cornering, rock hopping and intense terrain interaction. This is essential for serious crawler work where tyre security directly impacts handling and safety. The beadlock design also provides authentic scale realism for serious crawler builders.
• What makes CNC-machined billet aluminium superior to other wheel materials? — CNC machining from solid billet aluminium ensures exceptional dimensional accuracy, superior structural integrity and perfect concentricity that delivers reliable performance across countless RC sessions. Billet construction is significantly stronger than cast alternatives and resists damage from impacts with rocks and rough terrain. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance essential for outdoor RC use.
• Can I use different coloured locking hubs on each wheel? — Absolutely. The set includes two red and two black locking hubs, allowing you to create custom colour schemes across your crawler's wheelbase. You can mix and match hubs to coordinate with your body colour or create distinctive styling that showcases your personal RC aesthetic.
• How much do these wheels weigh? — Each wheel weighs 2.24oz (63.4g), contributing to a lightweight overall assembly that improves suspension response and handling whilst maintaining the structural durability required for serious crawler applications.
• Are these wheels waterproof? — The aluminium wheel itself is entirely waterproof. The chrome finish resists corrosion from water exposure, though the locking hub mechanism should be cleaned and dried after wet RC sessions to maintain optimal longevity. These wheels are perfectly suited for water crossings and wet terrain RC crawler adventures.
