Overview

The FASTRAX Axial SCX24 Brass Wheel 5mm 9.4g Counterweight Hex is a premium upgrade component designed specifically for Axial 1/24 scale SCX24 rock crawlers and off-road RC vehicles. These brass counterweight wheels are engineered to enhance the performance, handling characteristics and weight distribution of your RC crawler, making them an essential upgrade for serious enthusiasts and competitive drivers in the UK RC hobby scene. Whether you're looking to fine-tune your SCX24 for improved traction, better weight balance, or enhanced crawling performance, these brass wheels deliver the precision engineering and quality construction that separates upgraded RC cars from stock models.

If you own any Axial SCX24 model—whether it's a Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10 truck, Lexus GX 470, Base Camp rock crawler, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, or Jeep Gladiator—this four-piece set will give you a direct performance boost. The brass construction provides superior weight characteristics compared to plastic or lightweight alternatives, allowing you to dial in your vehicle's centre of gravity and improve ground contact during technical rock crawling. Ready to run RC vehicles benefit enormously from these kinds of tuning components, and the SCX24 platform has become one of the most popular micro crawler lines for UK hobbyists seeking scale realism and off-road capability.

FASTRAX is recognised worldwide for manufacturing high-quality upgrade parts and accessories for RC vehicles, and these brass counterweight wheels represent the brand's commitment to performance optimisation. The 5mm hex fitting ensures universal compatibility across the entire SCX24 range, and the 9.4g weight per wheel is precisely calculated to deliver noticeable improvements in handling without compromising the vehicle's overall balance or manoeuvrability.

Key Features

• Brass Construction — Made from durable brass material, these wheels provide significantly higher density and weight characteristics than plastic alternatives, allowing you to achieve precise weight distribution and improved traction during demanding rock crawling and technical terrain driving.
• Premium Counterweight Design — Each wheel weighs 9.4 grams and is engineered as a counterweight specifically, meaning these components are optimised to shift the vehicle's centre of gravity and improve weight transfer during climbs, descents and technical obstacle negotiation.
• 5mm Hex Compatibility — The universal 5mm hex fitting ensures seamless integration with all Axial SCX24 models currently available on the UK RC market, with no modification or adaptation required for installation.
• Four-Piece Set — This package includes four wheels, providing a complete set for all four corners of your SCX24, ensuring balanced weight distribution and consistent performance across the entire vehicle platform.
• FASTRAX Quality Assurance — FASTRAX components are engineered to the highest standards of precision and durability, with rigorous quality control ensuring that every set meets exacting performance specifications and delivers reliable long-term service.
• Enhanced Handling Characteristics — By optimising weight distribution and lowering the centre of gravity, these brass counterweights dramatically improve your SCX24's ability to navigate steep terrain, maintain traction on rocks and gravel, and execute precise control manoeuvres.
• Tune-Up Category Classification — These components are classified as transmission tune-ups, indicating their role in optimising the mechanical and dynamic characteristics of your RC crawler for superior performance and durability.

Technical Performance

The FASTRAX Axial SCX24 Brass Wheel Counterweight Hex delivers measurable performance improvements through advanced materials engineering and precision manufacturing. Each of the four included wheels features brass construction, selected specifically for its superior density and weight characteristics compared to conventional plastic or composite materials. At 9.4 grams per wheel, these counterweights are engineered to optimise the weight distribution and handling dynamics of the Axial 1/24 scale platform without creating imbalance or reducing responsiveness. The 5mm hex interface is machined to exact tolerances, ensuring a secure, rattle-free fit with zero play on your SCX24's hub assembly. The dense nature of brass means that these wheels shift the vehicle's centre of gravity lower and further forward, which is particularly beneficial during rock crawling where weight distribution directly influences traction, roll stability and the vehicle's ability to maintain contact with challenging terrain. Unlike lighter alternatives, brass counterweights provide measurable improvements in traction, especially on loose gravel, sand, and slickrock surfaces where weight transfer is critical to maintaining grip. The engineering behind these components reflects FASTRAX's deep understanding of 1/24 scale dynamics and the specific performance characteristics that matter most to UK RC enthusiasts pushing their SCX24s to the limit on technical courses and natural terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these brass wheels fit my Axial SCX24 rock crawler? — Yes, these FASTRAX brass counterweight wheels are engineered specifically for the Axial SCX24 platform and feature a universal 5mm hex fitting that is standard across all SCX24 models. Whether you own a Jeep Wrangler JLU, Chevrolet C10, Lexus GX 470, Ford Bronco, Toyota 4Runner, Dodge Power Wagon, Jeep Gladiator or Deadbolt, these wheels will integrate seamlessly without requiring any modifications.
• What is the purpose of brass counterweight wheels? — Brass counterweight wheels serve a critical tuning function by shifting your vehicle's centre of gravity lower and forward, which directly improves traction, weight transfer during climbs, and overall stability on technical terrain. The dense brass material (9.4 grams per wheel) provides measurable performance benefits compared to lighter plastic alternatives, particularly noticeable when tackling steep inclines, rocky surfaces and demanding obstacles that require maximum grip and control.
• How many wheels do I need? — This package includes four wheels, which is the complete set required for all four corners of your SCX24. Installing all four ensures perfectly balanced weight distribution and consistent handling characteristics across the entire vehicle platform.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Whilst these are premium upgrade components rather than essential stock parts, they are straightforward to install and immediately improve vehicle handling, making them excellent investments for anyone serious about optimising their SCX24's performance. Even beginners will notice significant improvements in traction and stability after installation.
• What makes FASTRAX components different from other brands? — FASTRAX is recognised worldwide for exceptional quality control, precision manufacturing and deep expertise in RC vehicle tuning. These brass counterweight wheels exemplify that commitment, featuring exact weight specifications, perfect hex tolerances and materials selected specifically for performance optimisation on the SCX24 platform.
• Can I use just two wheels instead of four? — Whilst technically possible, using the full four-wheel set ensures perfectly balanced weight distribution and optimal handling consistency. Using only two wheels would create uneven weight transfer and compromise your vehicle's crawling performance.
