Key Features

• Official Method 701 Design — These wheels are officially licensed Method 701 Trail Series wheels, meaning they carry the authentic styling and engineering of the real-world original, giving your RC crawler genuine motorsport credibility and unmistakable visual appeal.
• 1.9-Inch Diameter — At 1.9 inches, these wheels are perfectly proportioned for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail trucks, providing the correct ratio for realistic scale appearance whilst delivering excellent ground clearance and obstacle-clearing capability.
• Beadlock Wheel Design — The beadlock construction is essential for serious crawling, as it prevents tyre bead separation during extreme articulation, rock crawling and low-pressure running—critical for maintaining grip when tackling challenging terrain.
• Plastic Construction — Manufactured from durable plastic material, these wheels are lightweight yet tough enough to withstand the demands of rock crawling, reducing unsprung weight compared to heavier alternatives whilst maintaining structural integrity.
• Bronze Colour Finish — The distinctive bronze colour adds visual appeal and allows your crawler to stand out from standard black wheel options, creating a premium aesthetic that looks professional in competitions and social media content.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — Compatible with the standard 12mm hex drive found on most Element RC Enduro trail trucks, ensuring straightforward installation without requiring adapters or modifications.
• Front and Rear Compatible — These wheels can be fitted to both front and rear positions on compatible Element RC models, providing flexibility in your setup and allowing you to run matching wheels across all four corners.

Technical Performance

The Element RC Enduro Method 701 Trail Series Wheels deliver the kind of engineering quality that serious RC rock crawlers demand. Constructed from durable plastic material, these 1.9-inch wheels provide the optimal balance between weight savings and structural strength—critical factors when tackling technical terrain on your RC trail truck. The beadlock design is particularly important for crawlers running low-pressure tyres, as it prevents the tyre bead from rolling or separating during extreme articulation over rocks and obstacles. This is essential engineering for anyone serious about RC crawling, whether you're competing in UK-based events or simply enjoying challenging backyard terrain. The 12mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with the standard drive cups found on Element RC Enduro vehicles, meaning installation is straightforward and requires no adapters or modifications. The bronze finish provides not just visual appeal but also represents a premium alternative to standard black wheels, making your setup look competition-ready. These wheels are designed to work seamlessly with General Grabber X3 tyres (sold separately), which are also officially licensed and feature a high-performance soft compound rubber designed specifically for trail crawling applications. When paired with quality tyres and fitted to compatible Element RC Enduro trail trucks, these wheels will significantly enhance both the visual presentation and real-world crawling capability of your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Method 701 wheels authentic and officially licensed? — Yes, these are officially licensed Method 701 Trail Series wheels, meaning they are produced under licence from Method Race Wheels and carry authentic styling and engineering directly inspired by the real-world off-road original. This ensures you're getting a genuine product with recognised design credibility.
• What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — These wheels are compatible with the complete Element RC Enduro range of trail trucks, including the Ecto, Trailwalker, Sendero HD, Zuul, and Gatekeeper models. They feature a standard 12mm hex fitting, so they'll work with any Element RC Enduro vehicle using this drive cup configuration. Check the part number of your specific model to confirm compatibility.
• Why are beadlock wheels important for rock crawling? — Beadlock wheels are essential for serious RC rock crawling because they clamp the tyre bead securely to the wheel rim. This prevents the tyre from rolling or separating during extreme articulation and low-pressure running—common scenarios when crawling over rocks and obstacles. Without beadlock wheels, your tyres would likely come unglued during demanding terrain.
• Will I need new tyres for these wheels? — If you're upgrading from different wheels, you'll need to transfer existing compatible tyres or purchase new ones. Element RC recommends the officially licensed General Grabber X3 tyres, which are designed specifically for trail crawling and offer excellent grip and durability. These tyres are sold separately from the wheels.
• What is the wheel diameter and how does it compare? — These wheels are 1.9 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail trucks. This size provides authentic scale proportions whilst delivering excellent ground clearance for navigating obstacles and rough terrain typical of UK trail truck driving.
• How do I install these wheels on my trail truck? — Installation is straightforward: simply remove your current wheels by pressing the locking clip on the 12mm hex drive cup, slide on the new Method 701 wheel, and re-secure the locking clip. No tools are required, making wheel changes quick and easy whether you're at a competition or in your garage.
• What makes the bronze finish special? — The bronze colour finish provides a premium aesthetic that stands out from standard black wheels, giving your crawler a competition-ready appearance. The colour also photographs well and makes your setup look more distinctive at events, on social media, or during casual bashing sessions in the UK.
