FTX9920BK

Overview

The FTX TEXAN 1/10 Aluminium Beadlock 6-Spoke Wheels represent a premium upgrade for your FTX Texan rock crawler, delivering enhanced durability and authentic styling to your RC vehicle. These are not standard plastic wheels — they feature genuine aluminium construction with integrated beadlock rings, a design borrowed from full-size 4x4 vehicles that delivers superior tyre retention and a competition-grade appearance. Whether you're tackling technical rock crawling terrain, bashing through rough terrain, or simply wanting to elevate the visual impact of your 1/10 scale RC car, these wheels are engineered to perform and impress.

Available in smart black finish with a distinctive 6-spoke design, these beadlock wheels are compatible with your FTX Texan 1/10 crawler and accept standard 12mm hex connections. The aluminium construction provides structural strength whilst keeping weight reasonable for optimal handling characteristics across varied terrain. For UK RC enthusiasts building a competitive rock crawler setup or upgrading their ready to run RC vehicle, these wheels offer genuine performance benefits beyond cosmetic enhancement.

Each pair comes complete and ready to fit to your existing FTX Texan, making this one of the most straightforward upgrade paths available to rock crawler builders in the UK. The beadlock design ensures your tyres stay firmly seated even under the extreme articulation and flex demands of serious crawling, whilst the 6-spoke pattern delivers excellent visual balance and reduced unsprung weight compared to heavier alternatives.

Key Features

• Aluminium Construction — The wheels are manufactured from quality aluminium rather than plastic, offering superior strength and durability that withstands the demanding forces experienced during rock crawling and technical terrain navigation. Aluminium wheels also provide better heat dissipation and maintain their shape under stress.
• Integrated Beadlock Design — The beadlock rings grip your tyres securely, preventing deflection and bead slip even during extreme articulation or low-pressure running. This is essential for serious rock crawling where maintaining tyre contact is critical for traction and control.
• 6-Spoke Pattern — The six-spoke configuration offers an excellent balance between structural rigidity and light weight, whilst delivering authentic styling that matches full-size crawler aesthetics. The design also provides good clearance for mud and debris to escape.
• Black Anodised Finish — The distinctive black colour provides a professional, finished appearance and offers corrosion resistance through anodising, ensuring your wheels maintain their looks even in wet UK conditions or after extended use.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — Compatible with standard FTX Texan wheel hexes and pins, installation is straightforward without requiring additional adapters or modifications to your vehicle.
• Front and Rear Compatible — These wheels are suitable for mounting on both front and rear axles of your 1/10 scale FTX Texan, offering complete wheel set flexibility in your build.
• Rock Crawler Optimised — Specifically designed for the demands of rock crawling and technical climbing, these wheels support the low-speed, high-torque driving style that defines the discipline, with geometry tailored for maximum articulation.

Technical Performance

The FTX TEXAN 1/10 Aluminium Beadlock 6-Spoke Wheels represent a significant step up from standard plastic wheels commonly found on entry-level RC crawlers. The aluminium construction provides measurable benefits in terms of impact resistance, heat management, and long-term durability — factors that become increasingly important as you push your 1/10 scale vehicle across rocky terrain, steep obstacles, and challenging landscapes. The integrated beadlock system is engineered specifically to maintain tyre pressure and bead position during the extreme vertical articulation events that define rock crawling, where wheels may flex through angles that would cause standard tyres to lose their bead on plastic rims. This engineering approach mirrors full-size 4x4 crawler design philosophy, where beadlock wheels are non-negotiable for serious off-road performance. The 6-spoke design creates a strong structural matrix whilst minimising rotational mass — a critical consideration in 1/10 scale where every gram of unsprung weight affects suspension geometry and vehicle responsiveness. The black anodised finish provides UV protection and corrosion resistance, important when your RC vehicle encounters water crossings or damp UK weather conditions. Compatible with the standard 12mm hex mounting system used throughout the FTX Texan platform, these wheels integrate seamlessly with your existing driveline without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these aluminium beadlock wheels suitable for a beginner rock crawler? — Yes, these wheels are an excellent upgrade even for newer RC enthusiasts who are building or improving their first FTX Texan rock crawler. The beadlock design makes running lower tyre pressures safer and more reliable, whilst the aluminium construction lasts significantly longer than plastic alternatives, offering better value over time.
• What tyres fit these FTX beadlock wheels? — These wheels are designed specifically for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale crawler platform. You can pair them with FTX Texan-compatible tyres. Check the FTX parts catalogue for compatible tyre options, or consult our team at RC Model Shop for recommendations based on your intended terrain and driving style.
• How do beadlock wheels improve rock crawling performance? — Beadlock wheels grip the tyre bead mechanically rather than relying solely on air pressure, allowing you to run significantly lower tyre pressures without risk of the tyre separating from the rim. Lower pressures increase the tyre's contact patch and deflection, improving grip on rocks and reducing bounce on uneven terrain.
• What is the difference between 6-spoke and 8-spoke wheels for the FTX Texan? — FTX offers both 6-spoke and 8-spoke beadlock wheel options for the Texan. The 6-spoke design is slightly lighter and cleaner in appearance, whilst the 8-spoke pattern offers marginally more structural support around the outer perimeter. Both designs are functionally excellent; the choice comes down to personal preference and visual aesthetics for your build.
• Can I use these wheels on other FTX 1/10 models? — These wheels are designed for the FTX Texan specifically and feature the appropriate geometry for that platform. Whilst they may physically fit other FTX 1/10 models with 12mm hex connections, we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase.
• How do I maintain aluminium beadlock wheels? — Keep your wheels clean by rinsing with fresh water after muddy or salty terrain runs. The anodised finish resists corrosion, but removing built-up dirt prevents moisture trapping. Periodically check that the beadlock ring bolts remain tight, as vibration can gradually loosen fasteners during intense use.
