The real beauty of investing in these machined aluminium beadlock rings lies in their integration with the complete Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System. This comprehensive wheel ecosystem lets you start with pre-glued belted tyres on tough nylon wheels, then add your choice of 6061-T6 aluminium wheel centres in multiple colours, these stunning beadlock rings, and finishing washers to create custom wheels that are both functional and visually impressive. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their ready to run RC truck or build a competition-grade racing machine, these beadlock rings deliver the perfect balance of form and function.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Machined Aluminium Construction — These beadlock rings are crafted from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium, a grade specifically chosen for its resistance to impact damage and deformation, ensuring your wheels maintain their perfect appearance and structural integrity even after countless high-speed runs and intense RC bashing sessions.
• Beautifully Anodised Black Finish — The eye-catching black anodised finish provides a premium, professional appearance that will enhance the visual impact of your RC vehicle, whilst the anodising process itself provides additional protection against corrosion and wear.
• Six-Screw Installation Design — Unlike traditional beadlock wheels requiring dozens of screws, these Pro Scale rings use just six screws per wheel, dramatically simplifying the assembly process and reducing the time you spend on maintenance so you can spend more time driving.
• Part of Modular Pro Scale System — These beadlock rings are fully compatible with the complete Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System, allowing you to mix and match with different wheel centres, washers and pre-glued tyre assemblies to create truly customised wheels that match your preferred aesthetic.
• Superior Tire-Holding Strength — The beadlock ring design works in combination with the Pro Scale system to provide unmatched resistance to tyre expansion and rolling, delivering superior performance during high-speed cornering and ensuring your tyres stay perfectly seated for optimal handling characteristics.
• Pre-Glued Tyre Compatibility — These beadlock rings work seamlessly with pre-glued belted tyre and foam assemblies, eliminating the messy and time-consuming process of traditional tyre gluing and making wheel changes and maintenance significantly faster and cleaner.
• Complete Customisation Flexibility — Choose from eight beautifully anodised colours for your beadlock rings, allowing you to coordinate with matching wheel centres and washers to create a completely personalised wheel setup that reflects your individual style.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Beadlock rings represent a quantum leap forward in RC wheel technology when compared to traditional steel wheel systems. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium, these rings deliver exceptional strength-to-weight properties, maintaining rigidity under the intense forces experienced during high-performance driving whilst keeping overall unsprung weight to an absolute minimum. This material choice is critical for RC enthusiasts seeking precision handling and responsiveness. The machined construction ensures tolerances are held to exacting specifications, guaranteeing that each ring seats perfectly with its corresponding wheel centre. When combined with the pre-glued belted Maxx SC tyres moulded in long-wearing rubber compounds with internal belting that limits high-speed tyre expansion, the Pro Scale system creates a wheel setup capable of delivering a larger, flatter contact patch for game-changing precision and control. The anodised finish provides additional protection against the elements and repeated mechanical stress, ensuring these wheels maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal through countless runs. Whether you're running your Maxx Slash or Unlimited Desert Racer in competitive racing environments or aggressive bashng sessions, these beadlock rings are engineered to handle the demands of serious RC driving without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles are these Traxxas beadlock rings compatible with? — These Pro Scale Aluminium Beadlock Rings are designed for use with the Traxxas Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer RC vehicles. They form part of the comprehensive Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System ecosystem, which is purpose-engineered for these two chassis platforms to ensure perfect fitment and optimal performance.
• How many screws are required per wheel? — Each beadlock ring requires only six screws per wheel to secure it to the aluminium wheel centre. This is a significant simplification compared to traditional beadlock wheels, which typically require dozens of screws, making installation, maintenance and tyre changes dramatically faster and more convenient.
• Are these beadlock rings waterproof? — The 6061-T6 aluminium construction and anodised finish provide excellent corrosion resistance, and the beadlock ring design itself has no moving parts or electronics that require waterproofing. However, for complete water protection during stream crossing or wet environment driving, you should ensure your vehicle's electronic components (motor, ESC, servo and receiver) have appropriate waterproofing.
• Can I use these beadlock rings with different tyre sizes or types? — These Pro Scale Aluminium Beadlock Rings are specifically engineered to work with the pre-glued belted tyre assemblies that are part of the Pro Scale system. The design ensures proper tyre seating and retention with these approved tyre and foam combinations, delivering optimal performance and safety.
• What colours do these beadlock rings come in? — This particular product is the black anodised finish. However, the Pro Scale Aluminium Beadlock Rings are available in eight beautifully anodised colours, allowing you to coordinate your wheel setup with matching wheel centres and washers for a completely custom appearance that reflects your personal style.
• Do I need wheel washers with these beadlock rings? — Yes, the complete Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System includes wheel washers as the final finishing component. These washers provide both functional benefits for proper wheel assembly and add an additional aesthetic touch to complete the look of your custom wheels. Wheel washers are available separately and are part of the complete wheel assembly checklist.
• How do these compare to traditional steel wheels? — The Pro Scale Aluminium Beadlock Rings offer several significant advantages over traditional steel wheels. Aluminium provides superior strength-to-weight ratio, reducing unsprung mass for better handling response and suspension performance. The anodised finish delivers better corrosion resistance and visual appeal compared to painted or bare steel. The simplified six-screw design is far more convenient than traditional multi-screw beadlock systems. Additionally, the modular design allows for easy tyre changes without messy gluing procedures, and the pre-glued tyre system eliminates the complexity of traditional wheel building.
• Are these suitable for competitive RC racing? — Yes, the Pro Scale Aluminium Beadlock Rings are engineered to exacting standards for both competitive racing and high-performance driving. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction, precision machining, and anodised finish ensure durability and consistency across multiple runs, making them suitable for serious competitors as well as weekend racers seeking reliable performance upgrades for their RC cars in the UK.
