FTX Outback 3 Beadlock Wheels Pair 1/10 Rock Crawler Black FTX10027

Overview

The FTX Outback 3 Beadlock Wheel is a genuine OEM replacement wheel set designed specifically for the FTX Outback 3 series of 1/10 scale trail crawlers. Whether you're upgrading your Paso or Treka model, or simply need to replace worn wheels, these beadlock wheels deliver the authentic rock crawling performance that FTX crawlers are renowned for. As a dedicated UK RC car retailer, we understand that finding the right replacement parts for your ready to run RC crawler is essential to keeping your vehicle in peak condition.

Beadlock wheels are the gold standard in RC rock crawling, providing superior tyre retention and the ability to run at lower pressures for better grip over challenging terrain. These FTX beadlock wheels are engineered to give you confidence when tackling rocky trails, sand dunes, and technical obstacle courses. The 1.9-inch diameter perfectly matches the geometry of the Outback 3 platform, ensuring optimal ground clearance and weight distribution. If you're serious about your RC crawler performance, whether you're a competitive crawler or a weekend enthusiast exploring local trails, upgrading to genuine beadlock wheels is a worthwhile investment in your setup.

Available in classic black, these wheels complement the aggressive styling of any Outback 3 crawler configuration. The plastic construction keeps weight minimal whilst maintaining the durability needed for demanding off-road use. With a 12mm hex fitting, installation is straightforward and compatible with all Outback 3 variants currently on the market.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Beadlock Design — The beadlock ring keeps your tyres seated securely on the wheel rim at all times, even when running at lower pressures or tackling aggressive terrain, which is critical for rock crawling performance where tyre retention directly impacts your ability to navigate technical obstacles.
• 1.9-Inch Wheel Diameter — This size is specifically engineered for the 1/10 scale FTX Outback 3 platform, providing the correct height-to-width ratio and ensuring proper suspension geometry and clearance for optimal crawling performance.
• Universal Fitment Front and Rear — These wheels can be fitted to both the front and rear axles of your Outback 3 crawler, giving you the flexibility to replace either end or upgrade your entire wheel set with a single purchase.
• 12mm Hex Mounting — The standard 12mm hex drive fits perfectly onto FTX driveshafts and other components using the same mounting standard, ensuring a secure connection with no slippage or play during aggressive driving.
• Lightweight Plastic Construction — The plastic material keeps rotational mass low, which improves acceleration and reduces strain on your motor and drivetrain whilst maintaining sufficient strength for rock crawling abuse.
• Black Colour Finish — The neutral black colour matches the OEM styling of FTX Outback 3 crawlers and provides a professional, race-ready appearance that suits any build aesthetic.
• Sold in Pairs — This package includes two wheels, allowing you to replace both wheels on one axle or use them in a mixed wheel configuration depending on your terrain preferences.

Technical Performance

The FTX Outback 3 Beadlock Wheel represents the culmination of FTX's experience in designing 1/10 scale rock crawling platforms. The beadlock ring design is engineered to maintain consistent tyre pressure under load whilst preventing sidewall deformation when cornering or climbing steep rock faces. The 1.9-inch diameter provides the optimal balance between ground clearance and traction surface area for the Outback 3's independent suspension geometry. The plastic construction, whilst lightweight, is formulated to resist cracking and failure when encountering sharp rocks, roots, and other hazards typical of UK woodland and moorland trails. The 12mm hex fitting is a precision-engineered interface that eliminates wobble and ensures repeatable handling characteristics across both front and rear axles. These wheels have been tested on the full Outback 3 range including the Paso and Treka variants in both blue, orange, and yellow colour schemes, confirming compatibility across all current production models. The engineering allows for lower operating pressures compared to standard wheels, which is particularly advantageous when tackling the grip-limited terrain you'll encounter in competitive crawling events or technical hobby use. Weight distribution has been carefully considered to ensure that the wheels don't create unwanted gyroscopic effects during high-speed transitions, though the primary use case for Outback 3 crawlers is low-speed technical terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels compatible with all FTX Outback 3 models? — Yes, these wheels are officially compatible with the FTX Outback 3.0 RTR 1/10 Trail Crawler in all available variants, including the Paso in both blue and yellow colour options, and the Treka in both blue and orange colour options. The 12mm hex fitting and 1.9-inch diameter are standardised across the entire Outback 3 platform.
• What is a beadlock wheel and why does it matter for RC crawlers? — A beadlock wheel features a locking ring that clamps the tyre bead against the wheel rim, preventing the tyre from separating under load or dropping pressure. For rock crawlers, this is essential because it allows you to run at much lower tyre pressures for increased ground contact and grip, whilst maintaining tyre integrity over sharp rocks and obstacles that would normally cause sidewall damage or air loss with standard wheels.
• Do I need both wheels or can I buy them separately? — These wheels are sold as a pair (two wheels), which is sufficient for replacing both wheels on one axle. If you wish to replace wheels on both axles or have a spare set, you would need to purchase multiple pairs.
• What tyres do these wheels accept? — The FTX Outback 3 platform uses 1.9-inch tyres. These beadlock wheels are specifically designed to accept standard 1.9-inch RC crawler tyres, which is the size you'll find on most ready to run FTX Outback 3 models. Always verify tyre compatibility with your current setup before installation.
• What tools do I need to install these wheels? — Installation is straightforward and requires only a hexdriver bit matching your driveshaft hex size (typically 2.5mm or 3mm depending on your Outback 3 variant). No specialist tools or adhesives are required; the wheels slide directly onto the hex shafts and are secured with a standard grub screw.
• Are these the only wheels available for the Outback 3? — The FTX Outback 3 Beadlock Wheel represents the official OEM wheel option for the Outback 3 platform. These are the wheels specified by FTX as the standard fitment for maximum performance and compatibility.
• Can I use these wheels on other FTX models or brands? — These wheels are designed specifically for the Outback 3 platform with its unique suspension geometry and driveshaft specifications. Whilst the 1.9-inch size is common across many 1/10 scale crawlers, we recommend only using them on compatible FTX Outback 3 models to ensure proper fitment and performance.
