Axial Yeti 2.2 Beadlock Wheel Set Aluminium 6-Pole Swirl Front & Rear - YT1006SWF/R2 by GPM  [YT1006SWF/R2]

Machined beadlock rims for Axial Yeti 2.2

This wheel set provides an RC-scale aluminium beadlock option tailored to the Axial Yeti platform, supplied as two pairs with a six-pole swirl finish. The beadlock ring system traps the tyre bead between inner barrel and outer ring and is intended for standard 2.2" tyre applications used on scale trail and rock racing models.

Installation mirrors normal beadlock practice: place the tyre bead between the rings and tighten the ring-to-barrel fasteners progressively and evenly to achieve correct seating. Because these are machined aluminium rather than moulded plastic, they will show increased rim stiffness and a change in handling characteristics; it is advisable to check fastener torque after the first outing and after demanding rock runs.

From a setup perspective, aluminium beadlocks are a component upgrade that alters rotational inertia and can affect suspension and motor response on steep or technical terrain. Fit them where rim strength and bead security are critical, and fine-tune tyre choice and damper settings to retain intended traction and steering behaviour.

These beadlock wheels suit enthusiasts looking for a stronger aluminium rim for Axial Yeti 2.2 tyre setups, delivering secure bead clamping and a distinctive six-pole swirl finish while requiring routine checks and minor setup adjustments for best performance.
