Overview
The RC4WD 1.9"/2.2" 6 LUG STEEL WHEEL HEX HUB +9 OFFSET (Z-S0780) is a premium optional hub upgrade set designed for RC enthusiasts who demand precision engineering and improved performance from their scale RC crawlers and off-road vehicles. If you're serious about your RC car UK setup and want to enhance your vehicle's stance, stability and tyre clearance, these CNC machined hex hubs represent a significant upgrade over standard hub options. Whether you're running a ready to run RC model or a custom-built crawler, these hubs offer the kind of detailed engineering that serious hobbyists expect from quality RC spare parts and upgrades.
These optional hubs are specifically engineered for RC4WD's 6-lug stamped wheel range, providing an additional +9mm offset compared to standard hex hubs. This increased offset allows you to widen your vehicle's track width, adjust backspacing, and achieve a more professional, stable stance that not only looks better but performs better too. The set comes with four hubs, providing complete coverage for your four-wheel setup, and the precision CNC machining ensures consistency across all units. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to dial in their crawler's geometry and improve overall handling characteristics, this is an essential upgrade.
RC Model Shop stocks authentic RC4WD components and upgrades, making these precision hex hubs readily available for UK-based RC hobbyists. Whether you're building a scale crawler, a rock crawler, or any RC vehicle that benefits from wider track geometry, these hubs deliver professional-grade results that justify the investment in quality spare parts.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Precision — Each hub is manufactured using computer numerical control machining, ensuring exact tolerances and perfect consistency across the set of four, which means reliable performance and no binding or play issues in your wheel assembly.
- +9mm Offset Enhancement — These hubs provide an additional 9mm of offset compared to standard RC4WD hex hubs (Z-S0268 and Z-S0530), allowing you to significantly widen your vehicle's track width for improved stability and a more aggressive stance that enhances both looks and handling.
- Improved Track Width — By increasing the offset, these hubs push your wheels outward, widening the overall track width of your RC vehicle, which directly improves stability during off-road driving and helps prevent tip-overs during extreme angles.
- Adjustable Backspacing — Once installed, the hubs provide 1.75mm (0.06 inches) of backspacing, allowing you to fine-tune the wheel position relative to your suspension geometry for optimal clearance and performance tuning.
- Compatible with Multiple Wheel Styles — These hubs are designed to work with RC4WD's extensive range of 6-lug stamped wheels, including 1.9" and 2.2" sizes in various styles such as beadlock wheels from brands like Mickey Thompson and Raceline, giving you tremendous flexibility in your wheel and tyre selection.
- Substantial Hub Thickness — With a thickness of 0.55 inches (14.2mm), these hubs provide robust structural strength and durability to handle the demands of serious RC rock crawling and off-road exploration.
- Set of Four Units — The package includes all four hubs needed for a complete vehicle setup, eliminating the need for multiple purchases and ensuring your entire four-wheel platform uses identical, precision-engineered components.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD 1.9"/2.2" 6 LUG STEEL WHEEL HEX HUB +9 OFFSET represents the kind of precision engineering that separates quality RC upgrades from generic alternatives. Each hub is CNC machined from high-quality steel, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy and repeatability across all four units in the set. The +9mm offset increase relative to standard hubs (Z-S0268 and Z-S0530) translates directly into measurable improvements in vehicle geometry. When installed, these hubs provide 1.75mm of backspacing and measure 0.55 inches (14.2mm) thick, offering substantial material thickness for durability and strength under load. The engineering allows for wider track width, which is crucial for rock crawling and technical off-road driving where stability and predictable handling characteristics matter. Compatible with both 1.9" and 2.2" wheel sizes, these hubs work seamlessly with RC4WD's 6-lug wagon wheels, Mickey Thompson classics, and Raceline Monster wheels, making them a versatile upgrade for numerous RC vehicle platforms. The precision of CNC manufacturing ensures that wheel assembly is trouble-free, with no play, binding, or inconsistency issues that could compromise handling or introduce unwanted vibration. For RC hobbyists building competition-grade crawlers or simply upgrading their ready to run RC vehicles for improved performance, these hubs deliver professional-quality results that enhance both the visual presentation and the mechanical performance of your scale RC setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between these +9 offset hubs and standard RC4WD hex hubs? — The +9mm offset on these hubs provides an additional 9mm increase compared to standard hex hubs (Z-S0268 and Z-S0530), allowing you to widen your vehicle's track width significantly. This creates a wider, more stable stance and improves handling characteristics, particularly important for rock crawling and technical off-road driving where stability is essential.
- Will these hubs fit my RC4WD wheels? — Yes, these hubs are specifically designed for RC4WD's 6-lug stamped wheel range and are compatible with both 1.9" and 2.2" sizes. They work with the entire RC4WD wagon wheel range (available in Chrome, White, and Black finishes), as well as Mickey Thompson and Raceline Monster wheels in both 1.9" and 2.2" sizes.
- What vehicles can I use these hubs on? — These hubs are suitable for any RC4WD vehicle platform that uses 6-lug wheels, including crawlers, wagons, and competition rock crawling vehicles. They're an excellent upgrade for both ready to run RC models and custom-built rigs where you want to enhance geometry and performance.
- Why would I upgrade to these hubs? — The primary reasons to upgrade are to improve vehicle stability, achieve a wider stance for better looks, increase tyre clearance to prevent rubbing, and fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics. The +9mm offset is particularly valuable for rock crawling where stability and predictable handling are critical for conquering difficult terrain.
- How do I install these hubs? — These are hex hub upgrades that replace your existing hex hubs on your vehicle's axles. They follow standard RC hex hub installation procedures using appropriate hex drivers and washers. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific installation guidance.
- Are these hubs suitable for beginners? — These hubs are best suited for intermediate to advanced RC enthusiasts who are comfortable with vehicle setup and modification. Beginners should focus on learning basic vehicle operation before making geometry adjustments, though these hubs are still beneficial for any RC hobbyist looking to improve their setup over time.
