Overview
The FTX Texan 1/10 6-Spoke Black Beadlock Wheel is a premium wheel upgrade designed specifically for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and off-road RC vehicles. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking to enhance your crawler's performance or a dedicated hobbyist seeking quality replacement wheels, these beadlock wheels deliver the authentic look and functional benefits that serious RC bashers demand. FTX has engineered these wheels to provide excellent grip, durability and that distinctive beadlock aesthetic that defines modern rock crawling in the RC car UK community.
Beadlock wheels have become the gold standard in 1/10 scale rock crawling because they secure the tyre bead mechanically, preventing tyre slip during extreme off-road conditions. This means you can run lower pressures for better traction without worrying about the tyre rotating on the rim. The six-spoke design combines strength with a lightweight construction, whilst the gloss black finish gives your RC crawler that authentic, aggressive appearance. These wheels fit vehicles with 12mm hex connectors, making them compatible with a wide range of FTX rock crawler models including the Texan, Outback range, and many other compatible platforms.
When you're shopping for RC car wheels online or in store, you want components that won't let you down during a challenging trail run. The FTX Texan beadlock wheels are manufactured to exacting standards and come as a pair, ready to transform your crawler's appearance and performance. Perfect for weekend bashers, competition drivers and anyone who takes their RC off-roading seriously, these wheels represent outstanding value for money in the 1/10 rock crawler category.
Key Features
- Beadlock Design — The integrated beadlock ring secures the tyre bead mechanically to the wheel rim, preventing tyre slip and rotation during aggressive rock crawling or high-speed bashing. This feature allows you to run lower air pressures for superior traction and grip on challenging terrain without sacrificing safety or durability.
- Six-Spoke Construction — The six-spoke design provides an optimal balance between structural strength and lightweight performance, ensuring the wheels can handle the demands of serious rock crawling whilst maintaining excellent responsiveness and agility for your 1/10 scale RC crawler.
- Gloss Black Finish — The striking gloss black colour gives your RC vehicle that authentic, factory-look appearance synonymous with modern rock crawling, whether you're displaying your model at home or competing on the trail. The finish is durable and resistant to fading from UV exposure during outdoor use.
- 1.9 Inch Diameter — Specifically sized for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and off-road vehicles, the 1.9 inch wheel diameter is the industry standard for this class, ensuring perfect fitment with compatible suspension and bodywork without rubbing or clearance issues.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The standard 12mm hex connector ensures universal compatibility with a vast range of 1/10 scale FTX models and many other popular RC crawlers, making these wheels a versatile upgrade option for your RC car collection.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These wheels are engineered to work equally well on the front or rear axles of your RC crawler, giving you complete flexibility in your setup and allowing you to run matching sets across your entire vehicle if desired.
- Supplied as a Pair — Each purchase includes two wheels, providing excellent value and allowing you to upgrade both front or rear axles, or mix and match with other wheel styles for a custom appearance on your 1/10 scale rock crawler.
Technical Performance
The FTX Texan 1/10 6-Spoke Black Beadlock Wheels represent a significant upgrade to your rock crawler's performance envelope. Manufactured with precision engineering, the beadlock mechanism works by clamping the tyre bead between the wheel rim and an external locking ring, creating a secure, slip-free connection that is absolutely critical for serious rock crawling applications. The six-spoke structure is calculated to distribute loads evenly across the wheel, maximising durability whilst minimising rotational mass for responsive handling. The 1.9 inch diameter is the proven standard for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, delivering the ideal ratio of ground clearance to wheel torque for navigating rocky terrain, logs, and obstacles. The gloss black finish is applied through a multi-layer process that provides both aesthetic appeal and practical protection against weathering and UV degradation. These wheels are specifically engineered for rock crawlers and tough terrain vehicles, making them the ideal choice for anyone running a 1/10 scale FTX Texan, FTX Outback, or compatible crawler platform. Whether you're tackling a backyard rock garden, competing in a local RC crawling event, or simply bashing around the garden, these wheels deliver the performance, reliability and appearance that UK RC enthusiasts expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are FTX Texan beadlock wheels suitable for beginners learning rock crawling? — Absolutely. Whilst beadlock wheels are popular with competition drivers, they're equally valuable for beginners because they eliminate one variable from your setup. The beadlock mechanism prevents tyre slip regardless of your driving style, allowing you to focus on developing your line choice and obstacle navigation skills rather than worrying about equipment failure. They're an excellent investment if you plan to invest time in this rewarding aspect of the RC hobby.
- What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — The FTX Texan 1/10 6-Spoke Black Beadlock Wheels feature a standard 12mm hex fitting, making them compatible with all FTX rock crawlers equipped with 12mm hex axles. This includes the FTX Texan, the entire FTX Outback range, and numerous other 1/10 scale rock crawlers from various manufacturers. Always verify your vehicle's hex size before purchasing to ensure perfect fitment.
- What is the advantage of beadlock wheels over standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels offer several critical advantages over conventional wheels for serious rock crawling. The mechanical clamping action of the beadlock ring holds the tyre bead firmly against the rim, preventing the tyre from rotating or slipping during extreme off-road use. This allows you to run significantly lower air pressures for increased traction without risk of tyre damage or failure. Standard wheels rely solely on air pressure to keep the tyre seated on the rim, which limits how low you can safely deflate your tyres. For rock crawling where traction is paramount, beadlock wheels are the clear choice.
- Will these wheels work on the front and rear of my crawler? — Yes, the FTX Texan 1/10 6-Spoke Black Beadlock Wheels are designed for universal front and rear fitment. You can use them on either axle depending on your setup preferences and terrain conditions. Many RC enthusiasts run matching sets front and rear for a cohesive, professional appearance on their vehicles.
- What tyres should I fit to these wheels? — These wheels accept standard 1.9 inch rock crawler tyres designed for 1/10 scale vehicles. The FTX range includes compatible tyre options, and many aftermarket manufacturers produce 1.9 inch tyres suitable for beadlock wheels. When selecting tyres, consider your primary use case: soft compound tyres for maximum grip on rock, harder compounds for bashing and durability, or mixed options for versatility.
- Are these wheels durable for regular bashing and racing? — FTX has engineered these wheels specifically for the demands of serious rock crawling and off-road use. The six-spoke design balances strength with lightweight performance, and the beadlock mechanism has proven itself across countless hours of competitive and recreational use. With proper maintenance and occasional inspection, these wheels will provide years of reliable service whether you're racing, trail crawling, or casual bashing in the UK.
