Built by Axial, a recognised leader in off-road RC engineering, these wheels deliver the authentic styling and performance characteristics demanded by serious RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're upgrading your existing rock crawler or building a new setup from scratch, the KMC Machete wheels offer a perfect blend of form and function that will enhance both the appearance and handling of your 1/10 scale RC car.
These wheels showcase a distinctive satin silver finish that combines modern aesthetics with practical durability. The KMC Machete design is well-regarded in the RC community for its robust construction and proven compatibility with a wide range of 1/10 scale rock crawlers. If you're serious about your RC car UK hobby and want wheels that look as good as they perform, the AXIAL KMC Machete represents an excellent choice for weekend bashers, trail runners, and dedicated competitors alike.
This package includes two wheels, which is the standard fitment for front and rear positions on most 1/10 scale vehicles. The 12mm hex fitting ensures universal compatibility with the majority of modern 1/10 scale RC crawlers and adventure vehicles currently available in the UK market. These are wheels only—you'll need to source appropriate tyres separately if you don't already have them.
Key Features
- 1.9-inch Diameter — The 1.9-inch wheel size is the industry-standard specification for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance, traction, and scale authenticity. This size allows your RC vehicle to navigate challenging terrain whilst maintaining realistic proportions.
- Satin Silver Finish — The distinctive satin silver or chrome finish gives your RC car a premium appearance that stands out on the trail or at the track. This polished aesthetic appeal is combined with a practical coating that resists weathering and maintains its visual appeal through extended use.
- 12mm Hex Socket — The industry-standard 12mm hex fitting ensures these wheels are compatible with the vast majority of 1/10 scale rock crawlers currently available. This universal fitment means you can upgrade your existing vehicle without requiring any special adapters or modifications.
- Rock Crawler Classification — These wheels are purpose-built for rock crawling and adventure-scale RC vehicles. The classification reflects their engineering and design focus on slow-speed technical driving, obstacle negotiation, and challenging off-road terrain rather than high-speed performance.
- Front and Rear Fitment — The wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions on your 1/10 scale RC crawler. This flexibility allows you to replace worn wheels or completely refresh the appearance of your entire vehicle with a matching set.
- Pack of Two — Each purchase includes two wheels, allowing you to upgrade both the front axle or both rear wheels. Many enthusiasts purchase multiple packs to completely refresh their vehicle's rolling stock.
