Whether you are upgrading an existing build or starting fresh with a new scale project, these precision-engineered hubs will add that extra layer of authenticity that dedicated modellers demand. The optional locking tools make installation straightforward, whilst the CNC machining ensures durability and longevity even with regular use on rough terrain.

Technical Performance
These RC4WD Scale Aisin/Yota Style Hubs represent the pinnacle of precision engineering in the scale RC accessories category. The CNC machining process ensures that every hub meets exact tolerances, guaranteeing consistent performance across multiple units and reliable fitment with your 1.9 wheels. The materials selection and manufacturing technique provide exceptional durability; these hubs will endure countless hours of off-road punishment, whether you are navigating rocky terrain, technical crawling sections, or tarmac-based scale courses. The custom paint and coating finishes are applied with scale accuracy in mind, replicating the appearance of genuine hub coatings found on full-size vehicles. Unlike cheaper alternatives that may use simple plastic or low-grade metal, these hubs employ quality materials finished to automotive standards. The design eliminates the need for traditional nyloc inserts, representing a thoughtful engineering approach that prioritises clean aesthetics without compromising reliability. Installation is straightforward when using the manufacturer-recommended locking tool combined with blue threadlock compound (not included), which secures the hub assembly and prevents unwanted rotation. These hubs are suitable for all scale crawler platforms, trail trucks, and 4x4 scale builds that utilise 1.9 wheel sizes, making them a versatile upgrade suitable across a broad range of RC vehicles from beginner-friendly platforms to advanced competition builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these hubs suitable for my 1.9 wheel scale crawler? — Yes, these RC4WD Scale Aisin/Yota Style Hubs are specifically designed and engineered for 1.9 size wheels commonly used on scale trucks and crawlers, making them compatible with the vast majority of 1.9 wheel applications across popular RC crawler platforms throughout the UK and beyond.
- Do I need special tools to install these hubs? — RC4WD manufactures optional locking tools specifically designed for mounting these hubs, and the manufacturer recommends using the appropriate tool to ensure proper installation. You can select to purchase the hubs with or without the optional locking tool at checkout, depending on your preference and existing tool collection.
- What threadlock compound should I use? — The manufacturer advises applying a small amount of blue threadlock during installation to hold the hubs firmly in place. These hubs do not use a nyloc insert, so threadlock is the recommended method for preventing unwanted rotation and ensuring reliable wheel retention through extended use.
- What is the difference between the front and rear versions? — RC4WD offers distinct front and rear configurations of these Aisin/Yota style hubs, each designed to accurately represent the appearance and function of genuine front and rear truck hubs. The front hubs feature custom painted finishing, whilst the rear hubs receive custom coating, with each designed to replicate the visual characteristics of authentic vehicle hubs in their respective positions.
- Are these hubs only for display or can I actually use them? — These hubs serve genuine functional purpose as wheel attachment points and wheel nuts, so they are absolutely suitable for active driving. The CNC machined construction and quality materials ensure durability and reliability even with regular use on rough terrain, making them ideal for trail driving, rock crawling, and competitive scale events.
- Will these hubs work with my existing wheel set? — These hubs are designed for 1.9 size wheels, which are the standard size wheels used on most scale trucks and crawlers. If your RC vehicle currently runs 1.9 wheels, these hubs will be compatible; however, you should verify your specific wheel diameter before purchasing to ensure perfect fitment.
