Key Features
- 1.0-Inch Diameter Design — The compact 1.0-inch wheel diameter is purpose-engineered for 1/24 scale RC crawlers, providing the correct proportions and ground clearance that modern small-scale rock crawling demands. This size ensures optimal weight distribution and minimises stress on drivetrain components whilst maintaining authentic scale appearance.
- 7mm Hex Connection — The industry-standard 7mm hex interface guarantees reliable, secure mounting to your SCX24 or compatible Axial platforms. This connection type is widely recognised in the RC hobbyist community across the UK and Europe, making replacement and upgrade work straightforward and worry-free.
- KMC Machete Styling — These wheels feature the distinctive KMC Machete wheel design, instantly recognisable by their aggressive, multi-spoke pattern. The design isn't merely aesthetic—the multi-spoke construction provides structural rigidity whilst maintaining light weight, critical factors in 1/24 scale rock crawling where unsprung weight directly impacts suspension performance and climbing ability.
- Black Colour Finish — The wheels come finished in a professional black colour that complements virtually any RC crawler chassis colour scheme. This neutral finish ensures your vehicle looks cohesive regardless of body colour, whilst the matte black appearance adds genuine visual depth and sophistication to your model.
- Four-Piece Pack — You receive all four wheels needed to completely refresh your crawler's appearance and performance. This complete set eliminates the hassle of purchasing individual wheels and guarantees uniform performance across all four corners of your vehicle.
- Plastic Construction — These wheels are manufactured from durable plastic material specifically formulated for RC applications. The plastic compound is engineered to withstand the stresses of crawling, jumping, and off-road abuse whilst remaining light enough to keep your vehicle's performance characteristics optimal.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — The wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions on your SCX24 or compatible platform. This universal fitment simplifies parts management and allows you to maintain consistent rolling diameter across your entire vehicle, which is essential for proper weight distribution during crawling.
- Wide Model Compatibility — These wheels are compatible with numerous Axial 1/24 SCX24 models including the Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10 trucks, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, Lexus GX 470, and many others. This extensive compatibility makes them an excellent choice if you run multiple Axial 1/24 platforms or plan future upgrades.
Technical Performance
The Axial 1.0 KMC Machete Wheels deliver impressive technical specifications for 1/24 scale rock crawlers. With a precise 1.0-inch outer diameter, these wheels provide optimal proportions for the SCX24 platform, ensuring your vehicle maintains authentic scale appearance whilst performing at its peak. The 7mm hex connection system is engineered to Axial's stringent quality standards, guaranteeing zero slippage and maximum durability through thousands of hours of crawling, bashing, and competitive use. The plastic construction is formulated to resist cracking, splitting, and deformation under the intense stresses of rock crawling, where wheels must absorb impact from rocks, roots, and unforgiving terrain. These wheels are rated suitable for rock crawler applications, meaning they've been tested extensively across the demanding conditions that British RC enthusiasts encounter—from indoor foam track work to outdoor natural terrain crawling. The black colour finish resists fading under UV exposure, maintaining visual appeal through extended use. Whether you're upgrading from stock wheels or building a completely new 1/24 crawler, these wheels deliver the performance credentials you need combined with the distinctive KMC Machete design aesthetic that transforms your vehicle's presence on the track or trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Axial 1.0 KMC Machete wheels compatible with all SCX24 models? — Yes, these wheels are compatible with the full range of Axial 1/24 SCX24 models currently available in the UK. This includes the Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10 truck variants, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, Lexus GX 470, Deadbolt, and Base Camp models. The universal 7mm hex connection system guarantees fitment to any SCX24 platform manufactured by Axial.
- What is the wheel diameter measurement in inches and millimetres? — The Axial KMC Machete wheels feature a 1.0-inch outer diameter. This compact size is specifically engineered for 1/24 scale vehicles and cannot be used on larger RC crawlers or buggies. The 1.0-inch measurement ensures proper proportions and weight balance on your SCX24.
- Do these wheels come with tyres fitted? — No, these are wheels only and do not include tyres. The KMC Machete wheels are bare plastic rims with 7mm hex hubs. You will need to source appropriate 1/24 scale tyres separately to fit these wheels. Many UK retailers offer compatible 1.0-inch tyres specifically designed for SCX24 platforms, including rock crawler compound options and all-terrain patterns.
- What is the difference between these KMC Machete wheels and other Axial wheel options? — The KMC Machete design is characterised by its multi-spoke pattern that provides superior rigidity compared to simpler two or three-spoke designs. The Machete's aesthetic is inspired by high-end road vehicle wheels, giving your crawler a more distinctive and authentic appearance. The engineering prioritises strength and light weight, making these wheels particularly suitable for competitive crawling where performance matters.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These replacement wheels are ideal for beginners exploring 1/24 scale RC crawling for the first time. Installation is straightforward—simply push the wheels onto the 7mm hex hubs of your SCX24 until they seat fully. No tools or adhesives are required. Beginners often upgrade from stock wheels early in their RC journey, and the KMC Machete design offers an excellent entry point into wheel customisation whilst delivering genuine performance improvements.
- What tyres will fit these 1.0-inch wheels? — The Axial 1.0 KMC Machete wheels accept any 1.0-inch diameter RC crawler tyre designed for 1/24 scale vehicles. Popular options include rock crawler compound tyres for maximum grip on natural terrain, all-terrain patterns for mixed surfaces, and foam track tyres for indoor use. Many UK retailers stock compatible tyre options specifically engineered for the SCX24 platform.
- Do I need an entire set of four wheels? — Whilst you can purchase individual wheels if you only need to replace one or two, buying the complete four-wheel set ensures consistency across your entire vehicle. Uniform wheel appearance and performance characteristics are particularly important in rock crawling, where suspension geometry and weight distribution directly impact climbing ability and handling precision.
- What tools do I need to install these wheels? — Installation requires no tools whatsoever. The 7mm hex connection is a push-fit system—simply align the hex cavity in each wheel with the hex hub on your SCX24 axles and push firmly until the wheel seats completely. The interference fit is tight enough to prevent slippage during normal use. Removal is equally simple if you need to swap wheels or perform maintenance.
