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

Beadlock rims for Axial Yeti 2.2

This wheel set is an RC-scale aluminium beadlock upgrade created for the Axial Yeti chassis, supplied as two pairs with a six-pole swirl finish. The beadlock construction traps the tyre bead between the inner barrel and outer ring and is intended for 2.2" tyre assemblies used in scale trail and rock racing.

Installation is straightforward: position the tyre bead between the two rings and tighten the ring-to-barrel fixings evenly to secure correct seating. Being machined aluminium rather than moulded plastic, these rims offer greater durability and a different compliance profile; always re-check fastener torque after initial runs and after heavy rock work.

From a setup perspective, aluminium beadlocks are a component-level upgrade that changes rotational inertia and can influence how the drivetrain and suspension behave on technical sections. Use them when rim strength and bead retention are priorities, and adapt tyre choice and damper tuning to maintain intended handling.

These beadlocks are well suited to hobbyists who want a stronger aluminium rim for Axial Yeti 2.2 tyre setups, delivering secure bead clamping and a distinct six-pole swirl look while requiring regular fastener checks and tuning for best on-track behaviour.
