Overview
The Axial 1.9 Internal Wheel Weight Insert 9g 33oz (4) is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts looking to fine-tune the performance of their Axial 1.9 beadlock wheels. This innovative weight system, protected by patent pending technology, allows you to add precise amounts of weight inside your wheels to improve stability, climbing ability and overall handling characteristics. Whether you're an experienced RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher tackling challenging terrain, these internal wheel weight inserts give you the control to optimise your vehicle's performance exactly as you need it.
Part of Axial's comprehensive internal wheel weight system, these inserts work in conjunction with the Internal Wheel Weight Rings to allow you to dial in the perfect amount of weight for your 1.9 beadlock wheels. Each insert weighs 9g (0.33oz), and this pack contains four pieces, giving you flexibility in how much total weight you add to your setup. The internal design keeps the weight hidden inside the wheel, maintaining a clean aesthetic whilst delivering measurable improvements in ground contact and traction.
These weight inserts are particularly recommended for use on the front wheels of your RC crawler or rock crawler, where lowering the centre of gravity helps with climbing and stability on difficult obstacles. Compatible with all existing Axial 1.9 beadlock wheels including the AXI31629 MW19 variants and popular models like the SCX10 II series, these inserts represent a smart investment in upgrading your RC model UK setup without requiring new wheels or major modifications.
Key Features
- Internal Weight System — These weight inserts fit inside your 1.9 beadlock wheels, keeping the weight hidden and maintaining your vehicle's visual appearance whilst delivering performance benefits that would otherwise require different wheels entirely.
- Precise Weight Tuning — Each insert is exactly 9g (0.33oz), allowing you to add weight in controlled increments and fine-tune your setup to match your driving style and terrain conditions without guesswork.
- Works with Weight Rings — Designed to complement the AX30547 Wheel Weight Rings, these inserts allow you to layer weight additions for maximum flexibility, enabling you to add up to 5.0oz per wheel for extreme modifications if needed.
- Improves Climbing Performance — By lowering your vehicle's centre of gravity through wheel weighting, these inserts specifically improve climbing ability and stability on obstacles, making them ideal for rock crawling and technical terrain on your ready to run RC or custom build.
- Universal 1.9 Wheel Compatibility — These inserts fit all existing Axial 1.9 beadlock wheels, including models like the AXIC8087 8-hole wheels and AXIC0547 weight ring systems, making them a versatile upgrade for any 1.9-wheeled Axial vehicle.
- Steel Construction — Built from robust steel material, these weight inserts are engineered to withstand the demands of off-road RC driving, offering durability and reliability through countless sessions.
- Complete Hardware Included — All required hardware is supplied in the package, meaning you can install these inserts immediately without sourcing additional parts or fasteners.
Technical Performance
These internal wheel weight inserts represent a straightforward yet effective approach to vehicle tuning in the RC car UK hobby. At 9g each, with four inserts per package, you have 36g of total weight to distribute across your wheels. The steel construction ensures these weights maintain their integrity through the vibration and impacts inherent in off-road RC driving, whether you're bashing in the garden, competing at a local track, or tackling natural terrain. The design allows placement inside the wheel itself, which is more effective for weight distribution than external solutions because it lowers the centre of gravity of the rotating mass. This matters significantly for climbing performance, as lower weight distribution directly translates to better traction on steep inclines and improved stability when traversing obstacles. The patent-pending internal system works specifically with 1.9 inch wheels, fitting models across the Axial range including the SCX10 II variants, MW19 wheels, and the popular 8-hole beadlock designs. For maximum effect, Axial recommends using these inserts on the front wheels, though they can be used anywhere you need to fine-tune weight distribution. The system allows cumulative weighting through combining multiple packs and the separate weight ring products, giving advanced users the ability to customise their setup to precise specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial models are compatible with these 1.9 internal wheel weight inserts? — These inserts fit all existing Axial 1.9 beadlock wheels, including the AXIC8087 1/10 8-hole wheels, AXIC0547 weight ring systems, and are suitable for numerous Axial vehicles including the SCX10 II series (including variants like the 1969 Chevrolet Blazer, 1955 Ford F-100, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Deadbolt, Jeep Cherokee, Trail Honcho and UMG10). Check your vehicle's wheel type — if it uses 1.9 beadlock wheels with a 12mm hex connection, these inserts will work.
- How much weight can I add with these inserts? — Each insert is 9g, and this pack contains four, giving you 36g total. When used alongside the AX30547 Wheel Weight Ring (43g / 1.5oz), you can add significant weight. Axial states you can add up to 5.0oz per wheel when fully utilising the internal weight system with both rings and inserts combined.
- Do I need the weight rings to use these inserts? — While these inserts work standalone and can improve performance on their own, they are specifically designed to work in conjunction with the AX30547 Wheel Weight Rings. Using them together gives you the most flexibility for fine-tuning your setup, as you can layer weight additions gradually rather than adding large amounts at once.
- Why are these weight inserts recommended for the front wheels? — Axial recommends using these inserts on the front wheels to help with climbing and overall stability by lowering your vehicle's centre of gravity. Front wheel weighting is particularly beneficial for rock crawling and technical terrain where maintaining traction during climbs is critical, though they can be used on any wheels depending on your setup preferences.
- Will these inserts fit inside my existing 1.9 wheels? — Yes, these are internal weight inserts designed to fit inside 1.9 beadlock wheels. They do not replace the wheel — they fit inside it. All required hardware is included for installation, and the system works with any existing Axial 1.9 beadlock wheel including the popular AXI31629 MW19 variants.
- How much do these weight inserts cost compared to buying new wheels? — At approximately £11.75 for a four-pack of 9g inserts, this represents a cost-effective way to modify your RC vehicle's handling characteristics without investing in entirely new wheels, making it ideal for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their ready to run RC or custom build affordably.
