Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The wheels are manufactured from aluminium alloy, providing a perfect balance between lightweight strength and durability, which is essential for rough terrain driving and ensuring your RC model handles predictably over various surfaces without excessive unsprung weight.
- Beadlock Design — The beadlock mechanism secures the tyre to the wheel rim, preventing tyre slippage during aggressive cornering and off-road driving, which is particularly valuable when tackling demanding crawler courses or technical terrain where tyre grip is critical.
- 1.9" Wheel Size — This size is specifically designed to fit a wide range of popular RC crawler models and scale vehicles, making compatibility straightforward for most RC enthusiasts upgrading their existing builds.
- Professional Black Finish — The sleek black colour coating enhances the visual appeal of your RC vehicle, giving it a more finished, premium appearance that stands out at the track or on the trail.
- Four-Piece Set — This package includes all four wheels needed for a complete set, so you don't need to purchase multiple products to outfit your RC vehicle, providing convenience and value for money.
- Aftermarket Quality — As Fastrax components, these wheels meet the quality standards expected by experienced RC hobbyists and are designed to be a direct upgrade from standard wheels on many popular RC crawler and truck models.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium Beadlock T12 1.9" Wheels are engineered using premium aluminium alloy construction, which delivers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives commonly found on entry-level RC vehicles. The beadlock mechanism is a critical feature that appeals to serious RC enthusiasts, particularly those who participate in crawler events or technical driving where tyre retention and consistent grip are paramount. The 1.9" diameter places these wheels in the popular scale wheel category, making them compatible with numerous RC crawler models and enabling you to maintain proper ride height and scale proportions on your RC model. The black finish is applied with durability in mind, resisting fading from UV exposure during outdoor driving sessions and maintaining its appearance over extended periods of use. These wheels are suitable for a variety of driving conditions including rock crawling, off-road terrain, and general bashing, making them a genuinely versatile upgrade for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance from their hobby investments.

Always check your specific RC model's specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
- What is a beadlock wheel and why should I choose one? — A beadlock wheel features an additional ring or mechanism that clamps the tyre bead securely to the wheel rim.

- Do I need to purchase tyres separately? — Yes, these are wheels only and do not include tyres. You will need to source suitable 1.9" tyres separately to complete your wheel setup. Many RC retailers in the UK stock a wide range of 1.9" tyre options designed specifically for crawler and scale vehicles.
- How do beadlock wheels compare to standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels offer superior tyre retention, particularly during high-speed cornering or challenging terrain driving, compared to standard wheels that rely solely on friction to keep the tyre in place. The investment in beadlock wheels typically pays dividends for serious RC enthusiasts who demand maximum performance and reliability.
