Technical Performance
These TLR Narrow Front Wheels represent the engineering standards expected from Team Losi Racing, a company with decades of experience building race-winning RC buggies and components. The 2.2 inch diameter sizing is precisely calculated for 1/10 scale buggy proportions, delivering the correct rolling circumference and ground clearance for optimal performance. The narrow front profile reduces unsprung mass and improves steering response compared to wider wheel options, which is critical when milliseconds separate victory from defeat in competitive racing.

The Stiffezel compound has been selected for its balance of grip and durability—offering sufficient traction for acceleration and cornering whilst resisting excessive wear over extended racing usage. These wheels are classified as wheels-only components, meaning they arrive as complete wheel assemblies ready for immediate installation. When you're competing in UK RC car racing at club level or preparing your buggy for regional competitions, authentic manufacturer components like these ensure your setup matches the engineering intent of your race kit. The front position application means these wheels are specifically engineered for the steering axle, where precision handling directly impacts lap times and consistency.
