Z-S1940

Overview

The RC4WD Narrow Stamped Steel Wheel Pin Mount 5-Lug for 1.55" Landies Wheels (Z-S1940) is a precision-engineered hub solution designed for scale RC crawlers and trail trucks that demand authentic detail and refined wheel fitment. This product is perfect for RC enthusiasts in the UK who are building or upgrading their scale RC vehicle collections, whether you're a seasoned competitive crawler or a dedicated weekend basher looking to achieve that authentic Land Rover look. RC4WD has engineered these wheel hubs to deliver a distinctive aesthetic advantage whilst improving your model's overall proportions and stance.

If you're serious about scale realism in your RC car UK setup, this wheel hub upgrade directly addresses one of the most noticeable visual elements of your build. The problem many scale RC builders face is that standard hubs sit too proud on the wheel face, creating an unrealistic appearance that detracts from the careful detailing work invested elsewhere. These RC4WD pin mount hubs solve that issue with intelligent design and premium materials, reducing your wheel offset by 3.6mm compared to stock hubs and delivering a considerably more authentic, tucked-in appearance that matches real Land Rover proportions.

Whether you're competing in scale crawling events across the UK or simply enjoying weekend trail runs with your RC crawler, this hub upgrade represents the kind of detail-oriented engineering that separates serious scale builds from casual models. RC4WD is recognised globally as a leader in ultra-scale RC products, and these hubs exemplify their commitment to precision manufacturing and authentic scale representation.

Key Features

• CNC Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Each hub is precision CNC machined from high-grade billet aluminium, ensuring exceptional accuracy, concentricity and durability that far exceeds stamped or cast alternatives, which means your wheels will track perfectly straight and resist wear from thousands of metres of RC driving.
• Black Anodised Finish — The premium black anodised surface finish provides both corrosion resistance and a authentic scale appearance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation whilst maintaining that sleek, detailed look through extended use in various weather conditions typical of UK RC trail driving.
• Reduces Wheel Offset by 3.6mm — This narrowing effect dramatically improves your model's visual proportions, bringing the wheels closer to the body and creating the refined, tucked-in stance that characterises genuine Land Rover vehicles, essential for anyone serious about scale authenticity in their RC crawler.
• Brake Disc Style Design — The hub features an authentic brake disc-style profile that pairs perfectly with RC4WD's 1.55" Landies stamped steel wheels, delivering a cohesive scale appearance that looks professional whether displayed or captured in photographs of your RC setup.
• Five-Lug Pin Mount System — The five-lug configuration with pin mount design provides secure, reliable wheel attachment whilst maintaining the authentic classic Land Rover aesthetic, ensuring your wheels stay firmly secured during aggressive trail driving or competitive scale events.
• Lightweight Performance — At just 2.5g per hub, these aluminium components contribute minimal unsprung mass to your RC vehicle, which improves suspension responsiveness, battery runtime and overall handling characteristics during extended driving sessions.
• Comprehensive Hardware Included — You receive 20 M2 x 8mm steel flat head socket cap screws and 20 regular M2 black nuts, providing sufficient hardware for multiple installations or future replacements, with additional hardware readily available separately from RC Model Shop.

Technical Performance

These hubs represent a significant engineering achievement in scale RC design. Manufactured from billet aluminium rather than conventional stamped steel, they deliver precision tolerances that ensure perfectly centred wheel mounting with minimal runout. The CNC machining process produces components to exacting specifications, with each hub measuring 22.0mm outer diameter and 4.2mm centre hole OD, whilst maintaining a slim 6.5mm width profile. The black anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic—it creates a protective oxide layer that guards against corrosion from moisture exposure during UK outdoor RC driving, whether on wet trails or in damp storage conditions. The 3.6mm offset reduction achieves this through intelligent geometry that brings the wheel mounting plane closer to the vehicle's centreline, fundamentally improving visual proportions without requiring chassis modifications. Each hub weighs just 2.5g, meaning all four units add negligible mass to your RC crawler whilst providing the rigidity and precision of solid billet construction. The design specifically targets scale crawlers and trail trucks running 1.55" wheels, particularly RC4WD's Landies Vintage Stamped Steel Beadlock Wheels, creating a cohesive system where every component contributes to authentic scale representation. The five-lug pin mount system ensures repeatable, secure wheel attachment through proper thread engagement with M2 fasteners, critical for vehicles that navigate challenging terrain where loose wheels could compromise safety or enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these hubs fit my existing RC crawler or scale truck? — These hubs are designed with 5-lug pin mount configuration and M2 threaded centres, making them compatible with most scale RC crawlers that feature standard threaded wheel mounting. However, they're specifically engineered for RC4WD 1.55" Landies wheels and may not fit Axial SCX10 or SCX10 II axles without modification. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific RC model, measure your current hub thread size and contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop—we're happy to confirm fitment before you purchase.
• Why would I choose these hubs over my current wheel setup? — The primary advantage is the 3.6mm offset reduction, which transforms how your RC crawler looks by bringing wheels closer to the body and creating authentic scale proportions. Standard hubs sit too proud on the wheel face, creating a toy-like appearance; these billet aluminium hubs deliver the refined, tucked-in stance that serious scale builders demand. Additionally, CNC machined billet construction ensures precision concentricity for perfectly straight wheel tracking, whilst the black anodised finish provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability through UK's variable weather conditions.
• Are these suitable for competitive scale crawling events? — Yes, absolutely. These hubs are manufactured to RC4WD's exacting standards and are trusted by competitive scale crawlers throughout the UK and internationally. The precision CNC machining ensures repeatable wheel geometry round after round, whilst the lightweight billet construction contributes to responsive handling. Many competitive scale builders specifically choose RC4WD components for their consistency and authenticity, and these hubs exemplify that commitment to performance-grade detail.
• What hardware do I need to install these hubs? — The set includes 20 M2 x 8mm flat head socket cap screws and 20 M2 black nuts—more than sufficient for four wheel hubs with spares for future use. You'll need an appropriate M2 hex key or allen wrench for installation. We also stock replacement hardware separately if you ever need additional fasteners: the M2 x 8mm Socket Cap Screws (Z-S1259) and Regular M2 Black Nuts (Z-S1144).
• Will these work on Axial axles? — Whilst these hubs are not recommended for Axial SCX10 and SCX10 II due to thread fitment incompatibility, they may work on Axial axles with modifications. You may require a washer or spacer due to different thread depths between RC4WD and Axial designs. We'd recommend contacting our team before purchase if you're planning Axial compatibility.
• How much weight do these add to my RC crawler? — Each hub weighs just 2.5g, meaning all four wheels add approximately 10g total. This minimal unsprung mass is actually beneficial for suspension responsiveness and battery runtime, and the precision of billet construction provides rigidity that heavier stamped alternatives cannot match.
