Traxxas Method 105 1.9in Beadlock RC Crawler Wheels Charcoal Grey TRX8173A

Overview

The Traxxas Method 105 1.9in Beadlock Wheels in charcoal grey represent premium replica styling engineered to enhance your RC crawler experience. These exceptional wheels are designed specifically for 1/10 scale RC crawlers, particularly the Traxxas TRX-4 range of vehicles which have become the gold standard for RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're tackling challenging terrain or displaying your RC car UK collection, these Method 105 wheels deliver authentic aesthetics combined with practical beadlock functionality that serious RC hobbyists demand.

Built from durable plastic construction, these 1.9-inch wheels feature authentic replica design based on the legendary Method Race Wheels, bringing a touch of genuine motorsport heritage to your ready to run RC vehicle. The distinctive charcoal grey colour scheme complements virtually any body colour, from black to metallic finishes, making these wheels a versatile upgrade for those looking to enhance their trail crawler's appearance whilst maintaining performance integrity. Available as a pair, these wheels are front and rear compatible, meaning you can outfit your entire vehicle with a cohesive, professional look.

The beadlock rings (sold separately) create a secure mounting system that prevents tyre slip during intense rock crawling sessions and challenging terrain navigation. This makes them an ideal choice for RC enthusiasts who want to combine aesthetic upgrades with functional improvements to their brushless RC crawler setup.

The replica styling gives your crawler a competition-ready appearance that distinguishes it from standard wheel options.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Method 105 1.9in Beadlock Wheels deliver outstanding technical performance characteristics that appeal to serious RC enthusiasts and weekend bashers alike. The plastic construction has been engineered to provide exceptional durability without adding unnecessary weight to your suspension system, maintaining the responsive handling that makes the TRX-4 series so popular among UK RC hobbyists. The 12mm hex fitting ensures a rock-solid connection to your crawler's hubs, eliminating any possibility of wheel wobble or misalignment during aggressive terrain navigation. These wheels are precision-engineered to maintain perfect concentricity with your vehicle's suspension, critical for maintaining traction and control when tackling rocky outcrops, steep inclines, and challenging trail obstacles. The 1.9-inch diameter has been carefully chosen to match the geometry of the TRX-4 chassis, ensuring that your suspension articulation remains within optimal parameters for maximum ground clearance and approach angle. When paired with appropriate 1.9-inch tyres and optional beadlock rings, these wheels create a complete rolling assembly capable of handling the most demanding rock crawling scenarios. The charcoal grey colour is applied with a high-quality finish that resists fading from UV exposure during extended outdoor use, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your RC crawler throughout its lifespan.

Always verify your specific model is listed in the compatibility section before purchasing.
• Do I need beadlock rings to use these wheels? — The beadlock rings are sold separately and are recommended for optimal performance and security when mounting your tyres.
