Overview
The Traxxas Beadlock Rings in silver machined aluminium are essential upgrade components for UK RC enthusiasts looking to build or customise their Pro Scale Aluminum Wheel System. Designed specifically for the Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer, these beadlock rings represent the perfect balance of style and performance, allowing you to create truly custom wheels that match your RC vehicle's aesthetic whilst delivering the strength and durability demanded by serious RC bashers and racers across the UK.
Whether you're an experienced RC car UK competitor or a weekend enthusiast looking to upgrade your ready to run RC model, these silver beadlock rings offer a simple yet effective way to enhance your vehicle's visual appeal without compromising on functionality. The Pro Scale Aluminum Wheel System is engineered for maximum flexibility, giving you complete control over your wheel customisation with a modular design that makes it easy to swap components and maintain your RC model. These beadlock rings are machined from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium and beautifully anodised in this eye-catching silver colour, providing both the visual impact and mechanical strength that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
What sets these beadlock rings apart from traditional alternatives is their innovative engineering. Unlike older beadlock wheel designs that require dozens of screws and complicated assembly procedures, the Pro Scale system uses just six screws to secure the beadlock rings to the wheel centre, making installation straightforward and hassle-free. This means you can spend less time fiddling with bolts and more time enjoying your RC model on the track or trail.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These beadlock rings are machined from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium, a material specifically chosen for its ability to resist damage from small impacts whilst maintaining exceptional strength and rigidity, ensuring your wheels can handle the demands of serious RC driving without bending or warping.
- Beautiful Silver Anodised Finish — The eye-catching silver anodised colour finish is not just for looks; the anodising process provides a protective layer that resists corrosion and wear, keeping your beadlock rings looking fresh and professional whilst maintaining their durability through countless sessions at your local RC track or bashing spot.
- Modular Design System — With a 4-piece modular design, you have complete freedom to customise your Pro Scale Aluminum Wheels to match your personal style, and the modular approach makes it incredibly fast and easy to change worn out tyres for fresh new rubber without the mess and hassle of traditional tire gluing procedures.
- Six-Screw Installation — These beadlock rings require only six screws per wheel to secure them to the wheel centre, a significant improvement over traditional beadlock wheels that demand dozens of fasteners, meaning simpler assembly, faster maintenance, and less risk of losing bolts mid-session.
- Designed for Pro Scale System — These beadlock rings work seamlessly with the complete Pro Scale Aluminum Wheel ecosystem, including pre-glued belted tyre assemblies, aluminium wheel centres, and wheel washers, creating a fully integrated and customisable wheel solution for your Maxx Slash or Unlimited Desert Racer.
- Compatible with Pre-Glued Tyres — The Pro Scale system is engineered to work with pre-glued belted tyre and foam assemblies, eliminating the need for time-consuming and messy tire gluing whilst ensuring consistent tyre fitment and superior performance every time you install a fresh set of rubber.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas beadlock rings exemplify precision engineering and materials science applied to RC hobby components. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, this aerospace-grade alloy offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that ensures minimal unsprung weight whilst delivering the rigidity needed to support the forces generated during high-speed driving and aggressive bashing. The ultra-tough material resists the kind of small impacts and collisions that would damage lesser beadlock rings, making them ideal for both track racing and off-road adventures. The anodised finish provides multiple benefits: it protects the aluminium from corrosion (important in the UK's damp climate), enhances visual appeal with a professional silver appearance, and adds a subtle hardness to the surface that improves durability. Each set comprises four rings (one for each wheel), and the design is optimised to work with Traxxas's Pro Scale system, which combines pre-glued belted tyres with nested aluminium wheel centres. The belted tyre construction limits high-speed tyre expansion for a larger, flatter contact patch and game-changing precision handling. The innovative six-screw attachment method is engineered for quick installation and removal, a significant advantage over traditional beadlock rings that require extensive fastening. This design makes tyre changes and maintenance substantially faster and more convenient, allowing you to spend more time driving and less time in the workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas beadlock rings compatible with? — These silver beadlock rings are designed specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash and Unlimited Desert Racer. They form part of the Pro Scale Aluminum Wheel System and work exclusively with other Pro Scale components including the wheel centres and washers in that range.
- How many screws do these beadlock rings use? — Each beadlock ring requires only six screws to secure it to the wheel centre. This is a major advantage over traditional beadlock wheels that require dozens of fasteners, making installation, maintenance, and tyre changes significantly quicker and easier.
- What material are these beadlock rings made from? — These rings are machined from ultra-tough 6061-T6 aluminium, an aerospace-grade material chosen specifically for its strength and ability to resist impacts and bending. This material ensures durability and longevity even under demanding driving conditions.
- Are these beadlock rings difficult to install? — No, installation is straightforward. The Pro Scale system is designed for ease of use, with a modular 4-piece design that makes assembly fast and simple. Unlike traditional beadlock wheels with complicated mounting procedures, the Pro Scale rings nest with the wheel centres and require only six screws per wheel.
- What colour options are available? — These rings are available in silver, as pictured. Pro Scale beadlock rings are also available in eight other beautifully anodised colours, allowing you to fully customise the appearance of your RC model to match your personal style.
- Can I use these rings with other wheel systems? — No, these Pro Scale beadlock rings are specifically engineered to work with the Pro Scale Aluminum Wheel System. They require the corresponding Pro Scale wheel centres and are not compatible with traditional beadlock wheels or other manufacturer's systems.
- Do these come with tyres attached? — No, the beadlock rings are sold separately. You will need to purchase pre-glued belted tyre assemblies separately and combine them with these rings, wheel centres, and wheel washers to complete your Pro Scale wheels.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Pro Scale system is designed to be user-friendly. The modular design and simplified six-screw installation make these beadlock rings suitable for both experienced RC modellers and those new to the hobby, though you should ensure you have the other required Pro Scale components before purchasing.
