Key Features

• Machined from 6061-T6 Aluminium — These wheel washers are crafted from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium, a premium aerospace-grade material that resists damage from the minor impacts and bumps that are inevitable in RC driving, ensuring your wheels maintain their structural integrity and appearance through countless hours of use.
• Beautiful Anodised Silver Finish — The eye-catching anodised silver colour provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation whilst delivering a professional, polished look that stands out on any RC car UK setup.
• Modular Pro Scale Design — As part of the fully modular Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System, these washers integrate seamlessly with other wheel components, allowing you to customise wheel centres and beadlock rings in different colours without needing new washers, giving you complete creative freedom.
• Easy Installation — Unlike traditional beadlock wheels that require complex and time-consuming assembly procedures, the Pro Scale system with these washers requires only simple screw attachment, making wheel assembly and maintenance fast and hassle-free.
• Superior Tire Holding Strength — When used as part of the complete Pro Scale system with pre-glued tyre assemblies and beadlock rings, these washers contribute to the system's unmatched resistance to tyre movement and bending, ensuring your tyres stay securely in place during aggressive driving.
• Perfect Compatibility — These wheel washers are specifically engineered to work with the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System on Maxx Slash models, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance without modification.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System represents cutting-edge engineering in RC wheel technology, and these machined aluminium washers are a critical component in that system's success. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium — the same premium-grade material used in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications — these washers deliver the perfect balance of strength, light weight, and durability. The 6061-T6 alloy is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, impact strength, and machinability, meaning your wheel washers will maintain their structural integrity through countless drives whilst resisting the environmental damage that can occur in outdoor RC use. The anodised silver finish adds another layer of protection, creating a hard oxide coating that prevents oxidation and discolouration. When integrated into the complete Pro Scale wheel system alongside pre-glued belted tyre assemblies and Traxxas Tough aluminium beadlock rings, these washers ensure optimal tyre retention and resistance to bending. The system's engineering means that the internal belting of Maxx SC tyres limits high-speed tyre expansion for a larger, flatter contact patch, delivering game-changing precision in handling and cornering. Installation is refreshingly simple compared to traditional beadlock setups — each wheel requires only six screws, making assembly, maintenance, and tyre replacement a fraction of the time and effort required by conventional methods. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand professional-grade components and reliable performance, these machined aluminium washers deliver genuine quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheel washers compatible with my Unlimited Desert Racer? — No, these wheel washers are not compatible with the Unlimited Desert Racer. If you own an Unlimited Desert Racer, you should use part number 8549 instead. These washers are specifically designed for the Maxx Slash model.
• Do I need wheel washers for my Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System? — Wheel washers are not required when using 8950X Maxx Slash steel CV driveshafts. However, for most standard Maxx Slash builds, one set of wheel washers (which contains 4 individual washers) is needed to complete the look and functionality of the Pro Scale system. They are essential for a complete setup unless you're using the specific steel CV driveshaft configuration noted above.
• What colours are available for these wheel washers? — Traxxas Pro Scale Aluminium Beadlock Rings and Wheel Washers are available in eight beautifully anodised colours, giving you extensive options to match your personal style. The silver finish offered here is one of the most popular choices for a professional, polished appearance.
• How do these wheel washers compare to traditional beadlock wheels? — The Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System, including these washers, offers several significant advantages over traditional beadlock wheels. Firstly, installation is dramatically simpler — traditional beadlock wheels require time-consuming and complicated tyre mounting procedures, whereas the Pro Scale system uses pre-glued tyre assemblies that require only six screws per wheel. Secondly, the modular design of the Pro Scale system means you can easily change worn tyres without the mess and hassle of gluing. Thirdly, by using pre-glued belted tyres on tough nylon wheels combined with aluminium centres and beadlock rings, the system achieves superior tire-holding strength and unmatched resistance to bending compared to many traditional alternatives.
• Can I mix and match wheel colours with these silver washers? — Yes! This is one of the key advantages of the Pro Scale modular design. The wheel washers work with aluminium wheel centres available in silver, grey, and bronze, and can be paired with beadlock rings in any of the eight available anodised colours. This means you can create countless colour combinations to match your exact aesthetic preferences whilst maintaining the same washers.
• What makes the 6061-T6 aluminium special? — 6061-T6 aluminium is an aerospace and automotive-grade material known for exceptional strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. The T6 designation means the material has been heat-treated to achieve optimal strength and hardness. This engineering-grade material resists damage from impacts, maintains dimensional accuracy, and provides the durability needed for demanding RC use. The anodised finish adds additional protection against oxidation and wear.
• Is the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Pro Scale system is actually ideal for beginners because the installation process is much simpler than traditional beadlock wheels. The pre-glued tyre assemblies mean there's no messy gluing to master, and the six-screw attachment per wheel is straightforward and quick. If you're new to RC cars UK and want professional-looking wheels without the complexity, the Pro Scale system is an excellent choice.
