RC4WD Stamped Steel 1.0" Stock Beadlock Wheels (Black) (4)

I picked up a pair of Treal wheels at the same time as these. The RC4WD compared to the others were pretty cheap in construction (thin metal, etc). This isnt a deal breaker as it wouldnt harm the function of the wheel. My issue is the screw location. Using RC4WD tires on the wheels, I was unable to get the screws aligned and tightened. This was a combo of the tires pushing out the distance too much to get screw grip on the threads, but also the alignment was impossible for me. Others may be better than I, but I moved on and have not used the wheels. RC4WD tires are awesome, but I would not recommend these wheels on the low end of their line.

Good weight addition at a good price and opens up a lot of options for tires. Installed on a SCX24 deadbolt and used with RC4WD rock crushers.

The RC4WD Stamped Steel 1.0" Beadlock Wheels are wheels which look great and have a great selection of tires. However, they're incredibly unintuitive, complicated, have no mounting instructions in the packaging and have a non-standard hex lug shape, which requires modification of standard hex hubs on non-RC4WD micro crawlers for fitment. I bought these for my SCX24 and have had a mostly-positive experience with them, but not all has been smooth sailing. Modification of the standard plastic SCX24 hubs is required for these to be able to work (be it by filing down the hubs, or hammering them into the wheel lugs) and the Hot Racing Brass 7mm Hex Hubs may as well not even fit, as they aren’t worth modifying to get them to fit, as the wheels already weigh enough. It’s not a huge issue, just an inconvenience. Disassembly, tire installation and reassembly, however, are. Regardless of what micro crawler you are running, from the SCX24 to the 1/18 RC4WD Gelande II; disassembly, tire installation and reassembly are incredibly difficult on these wheels if you do not know what you are doing and there are no instructions on how to do it included with the wheels. My recommendation is to use the ‘paperclip’ method (Youtube it for detail), which involves only unscrewing two of the six screws and then threading a paperclip (bent into a U-shape) through said two holes, before completely disassembling the wheel. Overall, however, the wheels are well-built, sturdy, heavy, look fantastic and has some of the best tire variety on the market. SCX24 owners, know you will lose a little bit of ride height, but the tire designs and tire compounds available for these wheels by RC4WD are some of the best on the market and that more than makes up for it.

I wish I could give 0 stars. The most frustrating product I have ever used. They don’t fit any of my tires, the screws are too short so getting them mounted made me want to smash them with a hammer. And the screws are an in between size so the hundreds you already have won’t work. The bead has to be just right to get it barely held on. 6 screw holes and 7 holes in the wheel so they have to be mounted one way. Waste of money

These are nearly impossible to install tires onto, do not buy, they are complete pieces of s**t
