Key Features

• Genuine Beadlock Design — The authentic beadlock pattern replicates real-world rock crawler wheels, giving your 1/10 scale RC crawler that premium, competition-ready appearance that separates show vehicles from basic builds.
• High-Quality Aluminium Construction — These wheels are machined from premium aluminium alloy, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio whilst maintaining the durability needed for intense rock crawling sessions and rough terrain negotiation.
• Silver/Chrome Finish — The striking silver or chrome finish provides a professional, polished look that complements both modern and vintage RC crawler chassis, making these wheels suitable for display-quality builds or serious bashers alike.
• Universal 12mm Hex Fitment — The 12mm hexagonal mounting system is the industry standard for 1/10 scale crawlers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of platforms including multiple Traxxas TRX-4 variants, FTX models, and other popular crawler chassis.
• 1.9 Inch Diameter — This size is purpose-built for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, providing the perfect proportions for realistic scale appearance whilst maintaining optimal ground clearance and approach angles on obstacle-course terrain.
• Set of Four Wheels — The package includes a complete set of four wheels, so you can upgrade all four positions simultaneously without needing multiple purchases or mixing old and new wheels on the same vehicle.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Aluminum Beadlock Star 1.9" wheels represent a significant step up from plastic or basic metal alternatives commonly found on entry-level RC crawlers. The aluminium construction provides superior rigidity and durability compared to polymer wheels, which is essential when navigating challenging terrain, rocky obstacles, and high-stress crawling situations. The 1.9-inch diameter is precisely calibrated for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, maintaining proper scale proportions whilst delivering the ground clearance and articulation angles that these vehicles require. The 12mm hex interface is the universal standard for modern RC crawlers, ensuring seamless compatibility across a broad spectrum of established platforms. Whether paired with soft-compound crawler tyres designed for grip or more aggressive tread patterns for specific terrain, these wheels provide a premium mounting surface that enhances overall vehicle performance. The weight distribution characteristics of aluminium wheels versus plastic alternatives result in improved suspension performance, better articulation over obstacles, and more predictable handling characteristics. For anyone serious about rock crawling or trail running with their 1/10 scale RC vehicle, upgrading to quality aluminium beadlock wheels like these transforms the driving experience and enables better obstacle negotiation.

The FTX Outback Hi-Rock is specifically confirmed compatible, and many other crawler platforms use the same standard mounting system.
• What is the difference between beadlock wheels and standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels feature a mechanical locking ring or design element that secures the tyre bead to the wheel, mimicking real-world off-road vehicle technology. This design is authentic and visually distinctive, making beadlock wheels the preferred choice for serious crawlers and display-quality builds. The star pattern design on these Fastrax wheels adds to the authentic appearance.
• Are these wheels ready to fit to my crawler immediately? — Yes, the wheels come complete and ready to install. Simply remove your existing wheels and install these using the 12mm hex interface. You will need to remove your existing tyres and transfer them to these new wheels, or purchase a compatible tyre set designed for 1/10 scale crawlers.
• What tyres are compatible with these wheels? — Any 1/10 scale rock crawler tyre with a standard bead design is compatible with these wheels. Popular options include various soft-compound crawler tyres from multiple manufacturers. Consult the specifications of your crawler's current tyre setup or speak with RC specialists at RC Model Shop for specific tyre recommendations matching your terrain and driving style.
• Will upgrading to these wheels improve my crawler's performance? — Yes, upgrading from plastic wheels to quality aluminium wheels like these offers several performance improvements including better suspension response, more precise articulation over obstacles, improved durability, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. The rigidity of aluminium wheels prevents the flexing and deformation that can occur with plastic wheels under load.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — While these wheels are suitable for any skill level, they are truly appreciated by serious enthusiasts and competition drivers who understand the value of quality components. Beginners will benefit from the durability and performance, though entry-level crawlers sometimes come with adequate basic wheels.

• How do I install these wheels on my RC crawler? — Installation is straightforward: remove your current wheels by unlatching or unbolting the 12mm hex mounting point, slide the new wheel onto the hex, and secure it using the same fastening method. No special tools are typically required beyond what came with your crawler. The process takes only minutes for a complete set of four wheels.
