Overview
The Traxxas Beadlock Rings in green (machined aluminium) represent the pinnacle of customisation for your high-performance RC desert racer or short course truck. These precision-engineered beadlock rings are an essential component of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System, designed specifically for Traxxas Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer platforms. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK seeking to enhance your vehicle's aesthetic appeal or a competitive racer looking to optimise your setup, these green anodised beadlock rings deliver both style and substance.
The beauty of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System lies in its modular design philosophy. Unlike traditional beadlock wheels that require complicated and time-consuming tire mounting procedures, the Traxxas system uses a revolutionary approach that combines pre-glued belted tyres with machined aluminium components. These beadlock rings are the crowning touch to your custom wheel build, allowing you to express your personal style whilst maintaining the exceptional performance characteristics that serious RC car enthusiasts demand.
This set of four beadlock rings in eye-catching green delivers the perfect balance of lightweight construction and robust durability. Manufactured from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium and beautifully anodised in a vibrant green finish, these rings are engineered to withstand the rigours of high-speed bashing, competition racing, or casual weekend running. For anyone serious about their ready to run RC vehicles or those building a custom machine, these beadlock rings are an indispensable upgrade that transforms the look and performance of your Pro Scale wheels.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These beadlock rings are machined from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium, a grade recognised for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to damage from small impacts, ensuring your wheels can handle aggressive driving without bending or flexing.
- Beautifully Anodised Green Finish — The eye-catching green anodised coating not only provides a striking visual appearance that sets your RC car apart from the crowd, but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance and durability compared to raw aluminium.
- Modular Design System — These beadlock rings form part of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System's innovative 4-piece modular design, allowing you to mix and match with different wheel centres and washers to create a truly customised look that matches your personal style.
- Simple 6-Screw Installation — Unlike traditional beadlock wheels requiring dozens of fasteners, the Pro Scale system uses just 6 screws per wheel to secure these beadlock rings to the wheel centre, making assembly and maintenance dramatically faster and more straightforward.
- Superior Tire-Holding Strength — When paired with the pre-glued belted tyre assemblies and aluminium wheel centres, these beadlock rings provide unmatched resistance to tyre debeading, especially during high-speed cornering and aggressive off-road running.
- Easy Tire Changes — The modular design makes changing worn-out tyres for fresh rubber exceptionally simple, without the hassle and mess of traditional tire gluing procedures that plague conventional beadlock systems.
- Eight Colour Options Available — Beyond this green finish, Pro Scale beadlock rings are available in seven additional beautifully anodised colours, giving you complete freedom to customise your RC car's appearance exactly as you envision it.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Beadlock Rings represent the cutting edge of aluminium wheel technology for high-performance RC vehicles. Machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, these rings combine exceptional hardness with remarkable lightweight characteristics, ensuring minimal unsprung weight that directly improves handling response and acceleration. The anodising process creates a protective barrier that resists corrosion and physical wear, crucial for UK users dealing with variable weather conditions and damp storage environments. Each set contains four rings, sufficient for a complete four-wheel setup on your Maxx Slash or Unlimited Desert Racer. The engineering excellence extends to the fastening system: the simplified 6-screw design (versus dozens required on traditional systems) dramatically reduces assembly time and potential points of failure, whilst maintaining structural integrity even under the extreme forces generated by high-speed racing or bashful terrain running. When combined with pre-glued belted tyre assemblies, these rings work in concert with nylon wheel centres to create a system that resists high-speed tyre expansion, maintaining a larger, flatter contact patch for superior traction and precision handling. The internal foam and belting of the pre-glued tyres limit expansion whilst these aluminium rings clamp the tyre securely, delivering the kind of game-changing precision that separates casual bashers from serious competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these beadlock rings suitable for beginners? — Yes, whilst beadlock rings are primarily marketed towards users building custom wheel systems, the Pro Scale modular design makes these rings exceptionally user-friendly. The simple 6-screw installation process requires no specialist tools or expertise, making them accessible to RC enthusiasts of all experience levels, from first-time builders to seasoned competitors.
- What vehicles are these beadlock rings compatible with? — These rings are specifically designed as part of the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System for Traxxas Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer vehicles. They work exclusively with other Pro Scale components including the aluminium wheel centres and pre-glued belted tyre assemblies from the same system.
- How do Pro Scale beadlock rings compare to traditional beadlock systems? — The Pro Scale system offers dramatic advantages over traditional alternatives. Traditional beadlock wheels require time-consuming and complicated tire mounting procedures with dozens of fasteners, whilst Pro Scale uses only 6 screws per wheel and pre-glued assemblies. This makes tyre changes infinitely faster and cleaner, with zero messy glue involved. The result is a more convenient system that still delivers the full aesthetic and performance benefits of beadlock wheels.
- Can I change my tyres easily with these beadlock rings? — Absolutely. This is one of the defining advantages of the Pro Scale system. Because the tyres come pre-glued on foam assemblies that simply nest into the wheel centres, secured by just 6 screws through these beadlock rings, changing tyres is remarkably quick and clean. You simply unbolt the old assembly and bolt on fresh rubber—no glue removal, no waiting for curing time, no mess.
- Are these rings durable enough for serious racing? — Completely. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, these rings are engineered to resist damage from small impacts whilst maintaining structural integrity under the extreme forces of high-speed racing. The anodised finish provides additional corrosion resistance, and the engineering of the Pro Scale system means these rings work in harmony with pre-glued tyres to deliver superior tire-holding strength and resistance to bending even in the most demanding competition environments.
- What colour options are available? — These beadlock rings in green are one of eight beautifully anodised colour options available in the Pro Scale range, allowing you complete freedom to customise your RC car's appearance to match your preferred aesthetic.
- Do I need wheel washers as well? — Wheel washers are recommended to complete the Pro Scale Aluminium Wheel System and achieve the full intended aesthetic. The modular design allows you to choose washers separately, available in the same range of anodised colours as the beadlock rings, enabling a fully coordinated look.
