Question 1

Will these 1.9 beadlock wheels and tires fit my stock SCX10 II or TRX4 without modifications?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, they’re designed to fit the standard 1.9″ wheel hubs found on the Axial SCX10 II, TRX4, and Gen8 platforms. However, note that the 120mm tire height is about 10–15mm taller than stock tires. Many users on Reddit report that they fit without rubbing on straight axles, but you may need to trim your fenders or adjust your steering stops if running a high-clearance suspension link kit. If your rig is heavily lowered, a 1–2mm wheel spacer is an easy fix.

Question 2

Do I need to glue these tires to the rims, or do the beadlocks hold securely?**

Accepted Answer

No glue required—the 12-bolt aluminum beadlock ring clamps the tire bead tight against the rim. However, as mentioned in several YouTube build videos, the bolts can loosen during hard crawling or high-speed runs. We recommend applying a drop of blue Loctite to each bolt and retightening after the first hour of use. For extreme rock-hopping or competition-level use, some users also run a bead of superglue along the inner edge as backup.

Question 3

How do these "Mud Slinger" tires perform on wet rocks and loose dirt compared to the stock Traxxas Canyon Trails?**

Accepted Answer

They significantly outperform stock tires on slick surfaces. The T8 soft sticky compound and deep paddle-like lugs dig into mud and wet rock brilliantly. TikTok reviewers consistently demonstrate them climbing 45-degree loose-dirt hills where Canyon Trails just spin. The trade-off is faster wear on pavement—expect maybe 10–15 hours of asphalt running before you notice chunking. For pure trail crawling, they’re a fantastic upgrade.

Question 4

What is the return policy if these don't fit my specific RC truck?**

Accepted Answer

HobbySoul accepts returns within 30 days of delivery for items in new, unused condition with all original packaging. If you’ve mounted and aired down the tires, we cannot accept a return due to hygiene and wear. However, many buyers on forums report that customer support is responsive—just email them with a photo of the fitment issue, and they’ll often suggest a solution (e.g., a partial refund for spacers) rather than forcing a full return. Always double-check your wheel hex size (standard 12mm) before ordering.

Question 5

Are these better than the cheaper Injora beadlock wheels for a budget 1/10 crawler build?**

Accepted Answer

They occupy a sweet spot. Injora wheels are about 20% cheaper but use a softer aluminum alloy that may bend on sharp rocks. The HobbySoul rims are noticeably stiffer, and the T8 tires are stickier than Injora’s standard compound—meaning better grip on wet logs and slick boulders. For a first upgrade on a budget, it often comes down to looks: HobbySoul offers more realistic scale details. If you're strictly price-hunting, Injora is fine, but expect less durability if you slam into rocks.
