Key Features
- One-Sided Bead-Loc Design — The innovative one-sided bead-loc system captures both sides of the tyre evenly without requiring any gluing, making installation quick and straightforward whilst maintaining a secure, professional-grade fit that keeps your tyres locked in place during aggressive driving.
- Dual-Profile Wheel Diameter — The 2.2" front side delivers a realistic, factory appearance that matches Slash vehicles aesthetically, while the 3.0" inner diameter provides generous suspension clearance to prevent tyre rub and ensure smooth articulation over obstacles and uneven terrain.
- 3-Piece Construction — The three-piece wheel design eliminates the need for tyre gluing, making assembly effortless for builders and allowing quick tyre changes when you need to swap compounds or replace worn rubber during racing season.
- Premium Material Selection — Manufactured from high-strength, durable DuPont® nylon material, these wheels are engineered to withstand the stresses of serious RC driving whilst maintaining dimensional stability and resisting cracking or warping over extended use in all weather conditions.
- Die-Cast Bead-Loc Rings — Heavy-duty die-cast bead-loc rings provide the structural support needed to secure tyres firmly whilst delivering an authentic, competition-grade appearance that matches or exceeds factory components.
- Stainless Steel Hardware — Each wheel includes six premium stainless steel button head screws that resist corrosion, prevent seizing, and maintain their appearance season after season, eliminating the frustration of rusty or damaged fasteners that plague inferior wheels.
- Same Track Width as Stock — These wheels maintain identical track width to OEM Slash components, meaning you can upgrade to the Split Six without requiring suspension geometry adjustments or alignment changes, saving time and money on setup.
- Professional Finish — All Split Six wheels feature a deep, satin black finish that delivers a mature, competition-ready appearance straight out of the box, with optional red bead-loc rings available to personalise your build and match your chosen colour scheme.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The standard 12mm hex mount system ensures compatibility with all Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4, and other short course trucks using Pro-Line's proven mounting standard, making these wheels a perfect direct replacement for factory components.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Split Six Front Wheels represent a significant engineering achievement in short course wheel design, combining precision manufacturing with real-world driving requirements. Built entirely from high-strength DuPont® nylon material, these wheels offer excellent durability and dimensional stability even under the demanding conditions experienced during competitive racing or aggressive weekend bashing with brushless motors. The dual-profile design—2.2" outer diameter for visual authenticity combined with 3.0" inner diameter for suspension clearance—reflects Pro-Line's deep understanding of short course truck dynamics, ensuring that drivers can maintain proper track width whilst eliminating tyre rub that compromises handling and tyre lifespan. The one-sided bead-loc system represents years of development and testing, capturing both sides of the tyre evenly without requiring any adhesive bonding, which simplifies maintenance and allows drivers to change tyres quickly without waiting for glue to cure. Each wheel is secured with six stainless steel button head screws (12 total in the package, six per wheel) measuring 2mm hex with 3mm threads and 10mm length, providing corrosion resistance and reliable fastening. The die-cast bead-loc rings add structural rigidity whilst delivering the authentic appearance that distinguishes quality builds from budget alternatives. These wheels maintain the same track width as OEM Slash components, eliminating the need for suspension geometry adjustments. Important to note: these Pro-Line bead-loc wheels work exclusively with Pro-Line tyres due to the inner webbing bead design, and they are not recommended for operation at high speeds with brushless motors exceeding 2S LiPo configurations, ensuring you maintain realistic expectations for performance and component longevity when running larger battery systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Pro-Line Split Six wheels suitable for my Traxxas Slash? — Yes, these front wheels are specifically designed for Traxxas Slash 2WD models and work perfectly as direct replacements for OEM components. They also fit Slash 4x4, SCRT10, and Blitz vehicles using the 12mm hex mounting system. Check your specific vehicle model against the manufacturer compatibility list to confirm fitment.
- Do I need to glue tyres onto these wheels? — No, the innovative one-sided bead-loc design eliminates the need for any adhesive bonding. The bead-loc system captures both sides of the tyre evenly, allowing you to install and remove tyres quickly and easily without waiting for glue to cure or dealing with messy cleanup.
- What makes the Split Six design different from traditional bead-loc wheels? — The Split Six features a unique one-sided bead-loc system that works differently from conventional designs. The dual-profile diameter—2.2" outer for realistic appearance and 3.0" inner for suspension clearance—represents a significant engineering advancement that maintains factory track width whilst improving ground clearance and tyre clearance over bumps.
- What tyres fit these wheels? — These Pro-Line wheels work exclusively with Pro-Line tyres due to the specific inner webbing bead design. Do not attempt to fit aftermarket or competing brand tyres, as they will not seat properly and may cause safety issues. Always pair these wheels with genuine Pro-Line tyre compounds.
- Are these wheels suitable for high-speed brushless motor operation? — Pro-Line does not recommend these wheels for operation at high speeds with brushless motors, particularly those exceeding 2S LiPo power. If you're running high-powered brushless systems (3S and above), consider whether this limitation affects your intended use case. These wheels are optimized for realistic driving rather than flat-out speed runs.
- Will these wheels fit my Slash 4x4? — Yes, these front wheels work on Slash 4x4 models using the 12mm hex mounting system, providing the same quality construction and aesthetic benefits as on the 2WD platform. They maintain factory track width and deliver excellent fitment without requiring suspension adjustments.
- How many screws does each wheel need? — Each wheel requires six stainless steel button head screws. The complete package includes 12 screws total (sufficient for both wheels), with specifications of 2mm hex, 3mm threads, and 10mm length, ensuring you have everything needed for assembly without additional purchases.
- Are these wheels made to last? — Yes, Pro-Line manufactures these wheels from high-strength DuPont® nylon material combined with die-cast bead-loc rings, and all fastening hardware uses premium stainless steel construction. This combination of materials ensures durability and corrosion resistance throughout many seasons of RC driving. Pro-Line has been manufacturing quality RC components since 1982.
- Can I use these wheels with non-Slash vehicles? — These front wheels are compatible with multiple short course truck models including Traxxas Slash (both 2WD and 4x4), Associated SC10 Six, and Blitz vehicles, provided they use the standard 12mm hex mounting system. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
