Key Features
- Ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium construction — Machined from premium-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these beadlock rings deliver outstanding strength and durability whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your RC car maintains optimal performance without unnecessary weight penalties.
- Beautiful blue anodised finish — The eye-catching blue anodised coating provides exceptional colour depth and durability, protecting the aluminium from corrosion whilst creating a stunning visual impact that complements modern RC body designs.
- Precision machined detailing — Each ring is precision machined to Traxxas specifications, guaranteeing perfect fit and finish with your Pro Scale wheel centres, eliminating fitment issues and ensuring reliable performance every time you run your RC vehicle.
- Simplified fastening system — Unlike traditional beadlock rings that require dozens of screws, these Pro Scale beadlock rings use just 6 screws to secure the rings to the wheel centre, dramatically reducing assembly time and improving reliability by minimising potential failure points.
- Part of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System — These rings work seamlessly within Traxxas's modular Pro Scale system, allowing you to mix and match wheel centres, washers and rings in different colours to create truly unique custom wheel combinations.
- Set of four rings — This package includes four complete beadlock rings, providing you with everything needed to outfit two complete wheels (each wheel requires two rings when combined with wheel centres and washers).
- Colour-matching capability — Available in blue alongside other brilliant anodised colours including grey, green, red and orange, these rings allow you to colour-coordinate your wheels with your body and other accessories for a unified, professional appearance.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas beadlock rings represent the pinnacle of modern RC wheel engineering, combining premium materials with thoughtful mechanical design. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most widely respected alloys in motorsport and RC applications, these rings deliver the perfect balance of strength, weight and machinability. The 6061-T6 temper provides excellent hardness and fatigue resistance, crucial properties for beadlock rings that must withstand the constant pressure variations and lateral forces generated during aggressive driving. The precision machining process ensures tolerances tight enough for perfect fit with Traxxas Pro Scale wheel centres, eliminating the looseness and vibration problems that can occur with less carefully manufactured components. The blue anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer, improving corrosion resistance and extending the lifespan of the rings even in demanding driving conditions. The simplified 6-screw fastening system reduces stress concentration compared to traditional multi-screw designs, distributing loads more evenly across the ring-to-centre interface and reducing the risk of fatigue cracking. These beadlock rings are specifically engineered for use with the Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer platforms, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal performance with these high-performance RC vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these beadlock rings compatible with? — These Traxxas Pro Scale beadlock rings are specifically designed for use with the Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer RC models. They are not compatible with other Traxxas vehicles unless they also feature the Pro Scale wheel system.
- How many screws are required to attach these beadlock rings? — Unlike traditional beadlock rings which require dozens of screws, these Pro Scale rings use just 6 screws per ring to secure them to the wheel centre, significantly simplifying assembly and improving reliability.
- Can I mix and match beadlock rings with different coloured wheel centres and washers? — Yes, the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System is fully customisable. You can mix and match these blue beadlock rings with wheel centres and washers in other colours (including grey, green, red and orange) to create unique custom combinations that reflect your personal style.
- What material are these beadlock rings made from? — These beadlock rings are machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, an aerospace-grade alloy recognised for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance and machinability. The blue anodised finish provides additional protection against corrosion.
- How do these compare to traditional beadlock rings? — Pro Scale beadlock rings offer several advantages over traditional designs. The simplified 6-screw fastening system is much easier to assemble than traditional multi-screw designs, reduces potential failure points and distributes loads more evenly. The precision machining ensures perfect fit with Traxxas wheel centres, and the modular design allows for complete customisation of your wheel appearance.
- Do I need any special tools to install these beadlock rings? — The source material does not specify tool requirements for installation. However, given the precision-engineered design and 6-screw fastening system, you will need appropriate screwdrivers and may benefit from Traxxas assembly guides specific to the Pro Scale wheel system.
- What is the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System? — The Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System is a modular wheel platform from Traxxas that allows complete customisation of wheel appearance and performance. It comprises four main components: pre-glued tyre assemblies, aluminium wheel centres, aluminium beadlock rings (like these), and aluminium wheel washers. You choose which components to combine, allowing you to create unique wheels tailored to your preferences.
