Technical Performance
These 2.2-inch wheels represent genuine Axial engineering designed specifically for 1/10 scale rock crawler platforms. The 12mm hex connection point ensures secure, reliable seating on compatible vehicles without play or wobble, critical for maintaining the precise handling and suspension geometry that rock crawlers demand. The Black Chrome finish is applied to provide both aesthetic appeal and practical durability, resisting the scratches, scuffs and weathering that naturally occur during off-road operation. Rock crawler specification means these wheels are proportioned and engineered specifically for vehicles tackling challenging terrain, not adapted from road-racing or general-purpose platforms. The wheels are classified for front and rear fitment, indicating they've been engineered to perform equally well at either end of your vehicle, whether managing steering inputs at the front or transmitting power and supporting weight at the rear. The materials and construction methods employed ensure these wheels can tolerate the impacts, stresses and environmental exposure typical of serious RC crawling without cracking, warping or degrading. Genuine OEM specification ensures the wheels meet Axial's published tolerances and quality standards, providing the fit, finish and longevity that justifies their use on quality RC vehicles.
