Overview

The RC4WD Stamped Steel 1.0'' Stock Beadlock Wheels in white (model Z-W0111) are premium-quality micro crawler wheels designed specifically for 1/18 scale RC vehicles and other small-scale rigs. These meticulously engineered wheels bring authentic scale styling to your micro crawler setup, featuring a classic stamped steel appearance that captures the rugged aesthetic of full-size off-road vehicles. Whether you're building your first RC car UK or upgrading an existing micro crawler, these beadlock wheels offer the perfect blend of scale authenticity and practical performance for serious enthusiasts.

As a dedicated UK RC retailer, we understand that micro crawlers demand precision-engineered components that deliver both visual appeal and reliable functionality. The Z-W0111 wheels are engineered to the highest standards by RC4WD, a recognised leader in scale RC products. Each set includes four wheels with an internal beadlock system that keeps your tyres securely mounted even during challenging terrain navigation, making these wheels an ideal upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their 1/18 scale build. These wheels are particularly popular with users of the RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR platform and compatible Axial SCX24 1/24 series trucks with the appropriate hex conversion kit.

The stamped steel construction combined with CNC machined billet aluminium components ensures durability and authentic scale appearance that discerning RC enthusiasts demand. Whether you're tackling rock crawling courses, navigating garden terrain, or simply enjoying casual outdoor RC driving, these wheels provide the visual presence and functional reliability that makes micro crawling such an engaging hobby. The white finish complements a wide range of vehicle body styles and paint schemes, offering versatility for builders with different aesthetic preferences.

Key Features

• Internal Beadlock System — The integrated beadlock mechanism securely locks your 1.0-inch tyres in place, preventing tyre slip or separation during aggressive driving or crawling over rocky terrain, which is essential for maintaining control on challenging RC courses.
• CNC Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Precision-engineered from aerospace-grade materials, the CNC machining process ensures each wheel meets exact tolerances and maintains perfect balance, delivering superior durability and resistance to impacts common in micro crawler applications.
• Removable Centre Hub — The detachable centre hub simplifies tyre changes and maintenance, allowing you to swap between different tyre options without needing to remove the entire wheel assembly, saving valuable time during your RC sessions.
• Standard 7mm Hex Fitment — Compatible with the industry-standard 7mm hex drive system used across most 1/18 scale RC vehicles, ensuring easy installation and broad compatibility with existing micro crawler platforms and future platform upgrades.
• Lightweight Design — Each wheel weighs just 0.22oz (6.1g), minimising unsprung mass and reducing rotational inertia, which improves acceleration, handling response and overall vehicle dynamics compared to heavier wheel options.
• Scale-Authentic Stamped Steel Appearance — The stamped steel design replicates the appearance of traditional full-size vehicle wheels, adding genuine scale realism to your micro crawler that catches the eye and reflects the level of detail dedicated RC builders demand.
• Precise Offset and Sizing — With an outside diameter of 1.13 inches (28.6mm), width of 0.59 inches (15.1mm), and positive offset of 0.27 inches (7.0mm), these wheels are engineered for optimal handling geometry and tyre clearance on compact micro crawler chassis designs.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Z-W0111 wheels represent the pinnacle of micro crawler wheel engineering, combining stamped steel construction with CNC machined billet aluminium components to create wheels that excel in both form and function. The internal beadlock system employs a sophisticated locking mechanism that grips the tyre bead securely, preventing the common problem of tyre slip that can occur when navigating rocky, uneven terrain or crawling through challenging obstacles. This is particularly important for 1/18 scale vehicles, where the reduced wheel size means even minor tyre movement can affect handling and control. The lightweight construction at just 6.1g per wheel minimises rotational mass, allowing your vehicle's motor to accelerate the wheels more quickly and efficiently, which translates to improved climb performance on steep inclines and better responsiveness during rapid manoeuvres. The CNC machining process ensures perfect concentric accuracy, eliminating the vibration and imbalance that can develop with lower-quality wheel options. The centre hole diameter of 0.10 inches (2.5mm) accommodates the hex drive system precisely, creating a tight, wobble-free fit that maintains consistent handling characteristics throughout your RC driving sessions. The positive offset geometry is specifically designed to work optimally with micro crawler suspension geometry, ensuring proper tyre clearance, avoiding rubbing against the body or suspension components, and maintaining the ideal track width for scale authenticity and dynamic stability.

Compatibility and Vehicle Platform Information

These wheels are designed to fit RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR platforms across all body options, including the D90 body set (both blue and black versions), the BlackJack body set, and the Black Rock body set. The standard 7mm hex fitment makes them compatible with numerous other 1/18 scale RC vehicles and platforms that use industry-standard hex drive systems. Additionally, owners of Axial SCX24 1/24 scale trucks can use these wheels with the RC4WD 7mm Wheel Hex Conversion Kit (Z-S2169), expanding the wheel's versatility across different micro crawler platforms. It's important to note that whilst RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together seamlessly, compatibility with non-RC4WD brand products cannot be guaranteed due to variations in tyre design and construction across different manufacturers. For optimal performance and assured fitment, we recommend pairing these wheels with RC4WD-branded 1.0-inch tyres or consulting with our experienced team at RC Model Shop before selecting alternative tyre brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these RC4WD beadlock wheels fit my Axial SCX24? — Yes, you can use these wheels on an Axial SCX24 1/24 scale truck, but you'll need the RC4WD 7mm Wheel Hex Conversion Kit (model Z-S2169) to adapt the standard 7mm hex fitment to your platform. This conversion kit allows you to upgrade your SCX24 with these premium beadlock wheels for enhanced scale appearance and improved tyre security.
• What size tyres do these wheels accept? — These wheels are engineered specifically for 1.0-inch diameter tyres. The internal beadlock system grips tyres in this size range securely. RC4WD offers compatible 1.0-inch options including the Dirt Grabber All Terrain Tyres and Patagonia tyres, and the beadlock design works with other quality 1.0-inch tyre options, though RC4WD products offer the best assured compatibility.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners to RC crawling? — Absolutely. These wheels are excellent for both beginner and experienced micro crawler enthusiasts. Their straightforward 7mm hex fitment means installation is simple for anyone with basic RC tools. The internal beadlock system works reliably without requiring special maintenance knowledge, and the removable centre hub makes tyre changes easy. Whether you're just discovering the world of micro crawlers or are a seasoned competitor, these wheels offer the quality and reliability you can depend on.
• What makes the beadlock system important for crawling? — The internal beadlock system prevents your tyres from slipping on the wheel rim during extreme rock crawling or aggressive manoeuvres. This is crucial because if your tyre shifts position on the wheel, it affects handling, balance, and your ability to navigate obstacles precisely. The beadlock essentially locks the tyre bead to the wheel, guaranteeing the tyre stays exactly where it should be throughout your driving session.
• Can I use these wheels on multiple different vehicle platforms? — Yes, as long as your vehicle uses a standard 7mm hex drive system. These wheels fit RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II RTR variants naturally, and they'll work on any other 1/18 scale or compatible micro crawler platform with standard 7mm hex hubs. With the Z-S2169 hex conversion kit, they're also compatible with Axial SCX24 1/24 trucks. We recommend checking your specific vehicle's specifications or contacting our team to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• What is the difference between these stamped steel wheels and aluminium wheels? — RC4WD's stamped steel wheels offer authentic visual appeal that replicates the appearance of traditional full-size vehicle wheels, providing superior scale realism. The combination of stamped steel with CNC machined billet aluminium components delivers both aesthetic authenticity and practical durability. These wheels are engineered for crawlers prioritising scale appearance alongside reliable functionality, making them ideal for builders who want their vehicles to look as impressive as they perform.
• How do I maintain these beadlock wheels? — Maintenance is straightforward. After driving sessions, especially in muddy or sandy conditions, rinse the wheels with clean water and dry them thoroughly. The removable centre hub can be taken off to clean the internal beadlock mechanism if needed. The steel fasteners should be checked occasionally to ensure they remain secure, and replacement hardware (M1.6 x 4mm socket head cap screws) is included in the box. These wheels require no special lubrication or complex servicing.
• Will these wheels work with tyres from other manufacturers? — Whilst these wheels are optimised for RC4WD 1.0-inch tyres, other quality 1.0-inch tyre options may work due to standardised tyre bead dimensions. However, RC4WD cannot guarantee perfect fitment with non-RC4WD tyres because different manufacturers design their tyres differently. For assured compatibility and optimal performance, we recommend pairing these wheels with RC4WD-branded tyres, or consult with our RC Model Shop team if you're considering alternative tyre brands.
