RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II Stamped Steel 1.0'' Stock Beadlock Wheels (White) (4)

Great product, I ordered the Mud Slingers (RC4ZT0199) for shoes. Fitment is great. Stamped steel is very thin. When you torque the Beadlocks you can easily bend the Center Disk while seating the Rim to the barrel of the Wheel. use 2 longer screws to start fastening, torque the screws down in a star pattern, like you would do with anything that bolts up to a registered surface, swap the two longer screws for the shorter screws that were provided. If your tire is protruding from the locker, you didn't follow standard procedure for torquing. You smashed one side of rims together to fasten the wheels and pushed the tire out of the bead, try again, do it right this time. Sad people who lack the skills and abilities to mount these wheels have tanked the ratings.

Do not fit the TRX4M stock tires or even on the truck. The tool that comes with them is too small and the bolts interfere with the tool and can't even tighten them. I have the 1.9" versions of these and had to get special blue rings just to get them to work with aftermarket tires. Can't mount them, can't mount anything to them, never again RC4WD!

I heard mixed things about these but tried them against my better judgement because I specifically wanted a white wheel and I knew you could flip these around and run them with the inside facing out to get some extra track width for "free". However, when I assembled them and put them on the truck they ran so crooked that I could actually hear the extra load they were putting on the motor as it audibly straining. I triple checked every part of my setup and ended up putting just a bare wheel on the truck and it is visibly and hilariously (if I hadn't lost $25 on the purchase) crooked. I actually feel like I got ripped off by purchasing these. I moved everything over to a different set of (more expensive) wheels and all the wobble is gone. You get what you pay for.

They look good, but I won't be buying stamped steel wheels again. Fitting these was so frustrating compared to the other beadlocks I've used, especially the Treal. I'll be trying another brand for the next set, and probably sticking to aluminum wheels. I assume the material being so much easier to work on leads to better tolerances. The irritating fit is compounded by the fact that the RC4WD tires bulge in one spot on each wheel. I tried like mad to get them to seat without any bulge, but these wheels defeated me eventually. Now my wife's bronco just has to live with slightly bulgy tires until the tires need replacing. I put these on an SCX24 2021 Bronco, I think they fit very well onto the truck and the size looks nice. If you are better at assembling beadlocks and can get smooth tires with these, they are a great price and look.

These are OK at best. They look great, they go together fine but the lock wheel "lip" that slides over the tire bead doesn't slide over enough on the Wranglers and so they slide out from beneath the edge with a small amount of pressure. This causes the tires to skew giving it a wobbly ride. They should have made the wheel edge a bit larger in diameter to more securely hold the wranglers. I think I'm gonna try another brand, maybe the Wranglers rubber is too thick as I see in another review where the dude says the screws aren't long enough. My screws were long enough but it was a task to get the hubs together close enough for the screw to grab the hub threads and by that point, often the edge of the tire was already sliding out of the bead lock area.
