Axial Yeti 2.2 Aluminium Front/Rear Wheels Beadlock (6 Poles Swirl) by GPM YT1006SWF/R2  [YT1006SWF/R2]

Axial Yeti 2.2 Beadlock Wheels

This GPM wheel set is an RC-scale aluminium beadlock option produced for the Axial Yeti platform, supplied as two pairs and finished in a six-pole swirl pattern. The beadlock construction secures the tyre bead between the inner barrel and outer ring, intended for 2.2" tyre assemblies used in scale trail and rock racing environments.

Installation is typical of beadlock wheels: mount the tyre bead between the two rings and fasten the ring-to-barrel fasteners evenly to maintain bead seating. The wheels are machined aluminium rather than injection-moulded plastic, so expect a different stiffness and handling response; riders should re-check fastener torque after first runs and after hard rock sessions.

In tuning terms these wheels are a component-level change: aluminium beadlocks alter rotational inertia and may shift how the suspension and motor respond on steep or technical trails. Use them where improved rim durability and bead security are priorities, and adjust tyre choice and shock tuning accordingly to retain intended wheel traction and steering feel.

These beadlock wheels suit hobbyists who want a durable aluminium rim option for Axial Yeti 2.2 tyre setups, providing secure bead clamping and a distinctive six-pole swirl finish while requiring routine fastener checks and setup adjustments for optimal on‑trail performance.
