Overview
The RC Overhaul Wheel Hex 12mm Green Alum 4pcs is an essential upgrade and replacement component for owners of the Losi LMT Mini 1/18 scale monster truck. Whether you're restoring a worn RC vehicle, upgrading from stock components, or maintaining your mini monster truck collection, these precision-machined wheel hubs deliver both performance and aesthetic appeal. These green anodised aluminium hexes are engineered to exacting standards and come complete with all the hardware you need for a straightforward installation, making them ideal for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand quality spare parts for their hobby-grade RC cars.
As a critical drivetrain component, wheel hexes are subject to significant stress during aggressive driving, jumping and bashing. The RC Overhaul brand has built a reputation for manufacturing high-quality replacement parts that match or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring that your RC car maintains its performance and reliability. The striking green anodised finish not only looks the part but also provides corrosion resistance, extending the service life of these components even in demanding conditions. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC vehicle in peak condition, investing in quality replacement wheel hexes is a sensible choice that will pay dividends in durability and performance.
These wheel hexes are specifically engineered as a direct replacement for the stock Losi part number LOS212050, making compatibility completely straightforward. Available now at RC Model Shop, these wheel hexes represent exceptional value for money and are stocked by the UK's trusted RC retailers. Whether you're a weekend basher, a serious competitor, or simply someone who enjoys keeping their RC collection in showroom condition, the RC Overhaul Wheel Hex 12mm represents the kind of precision spare part that separates professional maintenance from rushed repairs.
Key Features
- Precision machined aluminium construction — Each wheel hex is manufactured to exacting tolerances using machining techniques that ensure a perfect fit onto your 4mm driveshaft, eliminating the wobble and play that can develop in worn stock components.
- Green anodised finish — The striking green anodised coating provides both visual appeal and genuine corrosion protection, ensuring these wheel hexes resist oxidation and maintain their appearance through countless hours of RC driving in the UK's variable weather conditions.
- 12 x 5mm size specification — These hexes conform to the common 12mm hex standard used on the Losi LMT Mini platform, ensuring 100% compatibility with your existing drivetrain components and suspension geometry.
- Engineered for 4mm driveshaft fitment — The interior bore is precisely machined to accept a standard 4mm driveshaft, the specification used on mini monster trucks and other compact RC vehicles, ensuring a snug, secure fit that transmits power reliably.
- Includes steel drive pins — High-strength steel drive pins are supplied in the pack, these are the critical safety component that prevents the hex from spinning on the driveshaft, transmitting rotational force directly to the wheels without slippage.
- Locking grub screws supplied — Each hex comes with precision grub screws that lock securely onto the drive shaft, providing a second layer of security that ensures your wheels stay firmly attached during the most aggressive driving and jumping.
- Pack of four for complete axle sets — The pack contains four complete wheel hexes, providing everything needed to replace all four wheel hubs on your RC monster truck or update your spare parts inventory for reliable backup components.
- Direct replacement for LOS212050 — These hexes are engineered as a direct replacement for the official Losi stock part, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility without any modification or adaptation required.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Wheel Hex 12mm Green Alum represents a significant step up in quality and durability compared to standard stock components. Manufactured from premium-grade aluminium alloy, each hex is machined from solid material rather than cast, resulting in superior strength and dimensional accuracy. The green anodising process creates a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer that penetrates the aluminium surface, providing long-term protection against rust and oxidation that can compromise fitment and appearance. The 12 x 5mm dimensions are engineered to the exact specification required by the Losi LMT Mini platform, with precision bore sizing that accommodates 4mm driveshafts. The inclusion of high-strength steel drive pins is absolutely critical to performance — these pins bridge the mechanical connection between the hex and the driveshaft, preventing any relative rotation that would compromise drivetrain efficiency. The supplied grub screws provide additional security by creating a mechanical lock that clamps the hex firmly onto the driveshaft. This dual-security approach ensures that even during high-stress manoeuvres — aggressive acceleration, hard cornering, and mid-air landings from jumps — your wheels remain firmly attached and transmit power with zero slippage, maintaining the responsive handling characteristics that make RC vehicles so enjoyable to operate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheel hexes suitable for beginners and experienced RC drivers alike? — Yes, absolutely. These are replacement spare parts rather than a complete vehicle, so they're suitable for anyone who owns a Losi LMT Mini or compatible RC car and needs to replace worn or damaged wheel hexes. Beginners will appreciate the straightforward installation process and the inclusion of all necessary hardware, whilst experienced RC enthusiasts will recognise the quality engineering and anodised finish that indicates precision manufacturing standards.
- What makes these wheel hexes better than standard stock components? — RC Overhaul components are manufactured using precision machining techniques rather than casting, resulting in superior dimensional accuracy and material consistency. The aluminium alloy construction combined with anodising provides better corrosion resistance than bare metal or painted finishes. The inclusion of high-quality steel drive pins and grub screws ensures a secure, reliable connection to your driveshaft that won't develop play or slippage over time.
- Will these fit my Losi LMT Mini RC car? — These wheel hexes are specifically engineered as a replacement for Losi part number LOS212050 and are designed for the LMT Mini 1/18 scale platform. The 12 x 5mm size specification and 4mm driveshaft bore are standard for this vehicle. Before ordering, verify your vehicle uses 4mm driveshafts and the LOS212050 hexes, as compatibility depends on your exact model variant.
- How difficult is it to install these wheel hexes? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools — typically an Allen key or hex wrench to remove the grub screws on old hexes, and a small screwdriver to lock the new ones in place. The complete hardware needed for installation is included in the pack, and the process typically takes just a few minutes per wheel. Detailed installation instructions should be available from RC Overhaul or Losi, and RC Model Shop's experienced team can provide guidance if needed.
- Why do I need to replace my wheel hexes? — Wheel hexes wear over time due to the constant stress of acceleration, braking, and jumping. Worn hexes can develop internal play that causes your wheels to wobble or spin on the driveshaft, reducing handling precision and potentially causing wheel detachment during aggressive driving. Replacing worn hexes with quality components like these RC Overhaul units restores your vehicle's handling and ensures safety during use.
- Are these wheel hexes available in other colours? — The RC Overhaul 12mm wheel hex range includes multiple anodised colour options, with this green version being a popular choice. Check RC Model Shop's full range for alternative colours or other options that might complement your RC vehicle's styling.
