Thumbs up Gear Head RC 8Trax Micro Crawler Wheels - Aluminum



Machined in the U.S.A. out of billet 6061-T6 Aluminum, these wheels are the perfect addition to your Losi Micro Crawler or new Losi Micro 4x4 Trail Trekker.

These are not beadlock and will need to be glued.

Available exclusively from Rpp Hobby: Gear Head RC 8Trax Micro Crawler Wheels, Aluminum (4)

Very good looking wheels! I might have to order a set...

I just wish we would see some wheels with a little bit bigger offsets...

Saw this post on Scale4x4 and ordered a set and some Mc4x4 tires.
they look very similar to the CAC micro 6 wheels only with fewer and larger outer holes.

Didn't recognize that one, the 5.5 Toyota is easy to spot though

I'll look into that. Even if I don't make one, I look forward to designing & making more hop-up parts for micro crawlers!

Yes we definitely need more LMRC hop-ups! A fully functional pop in dig will be most welcome! I'd pay a good price for that!

My wheels just showed up today.
they look fantastic! if you like the CAC micro 6 wheels ( most do ) you will love these.
side by side the styling is very similar, the quality is just as good and they even look to have a better polish.
the fit on tires is just as good as any other wheel for the losi micro. That includes the McRC tires,new Mc4x4 tires, both RC4WD and the Mino Qlos

Not at the moment. RC4WD and Losi tires are not designed with the additional "lip" to properly go into a beadlock wheel.

You could always add more material to the wheel inside the tire like the Hot racing wheel or PVC beadlock mod. it would add some welcome low weight as well

these are the hot racing bead lock wheels compared to factory micro wheels



This is the beadlock mod for the factory losi mini and micro crawler wheel (pictures borrowed from WrenchHeads how to )

I personally like the wheels as is, but I know many ask for true beadlocks which would give some nice weight

Both the BWD and HR beadlocks work great with my stock tires, RC4WD tires, and QLO tires.

It just really sux to risk ruining a tire every time you want to take one off.


I just really want a set of scale looking, true beadlocks.
