- Street/Tread Tyre Compound — The street and tread tyre specification is optimised for on-road surfaces and tarmac driving, providing superior grip and predictable handling characteristics for drift, touring, and street-focused driving disciplines.
- On-Road Class — Classified as on-road wheels and tyres, these components are engineered specifically for tarmac and smooth surfaces rather than off-road terrain, ensuring peak performance in their intended environment.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 1/10 Street/Tread Tyre Star Spoke Gun Metal Wheel Complete Set represents quality engineering optimised for on-road RC performance. The 1.9-inch diameter wheel size is precisely calculated for 1/10 scale proportions, ensuring your vehicle maintains correct suspension geometry and handling balance. The 26mm wheel width provides an excellent tyre contact patch that's critical for maintaining grip during aggressive cornering and drift manoeuvres on tarmac surfaces. The 12mm hex fitting utilises the industry-standard connection method, guaranteeing compatibility with popular platforms including the FTX Banzai series and numerous other 1/10 scale touring and drift vehicles. The gun metal finish isn't merely cosmetic — it provides protective properties that resist discolouration and corrosion during regular outdoor driving. The star spoke design is engineered to distribute rotational loads evenly across the wheel structure, promoting durability and consistent performance lap after lap. Whether you're pushing your RC car UK hard on a drift course or enjoying casual street driving, these wheels deliver the performance and reliability expected from Fastrax's reputation in the aftermarket RC components market. The street and tread tyre compound is specifically formulated for on-road surfaces, offering predictable grip levels and responsive handling that makes your vehicle easier to control and more enjoyable to drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my RC car UK? — These wheels feature the industry-standard 12mm hex fitting and are designed for 1/10 scale vehicles. They are confirmed compatible with the FTX Banzai series (FTX5529, FTX5529G, FTX5534B, FTX5534W) and FTX touring/drift platforms (FTX5536). Check your vehicle's wheel fitting specification to confirm compatibility, as 12mm hex is standard on most modern 1/10 touring and drift cars.
- What makes these wheels suitable for on-road driving? — The street and tread tyre compound is specifically formulated for tarmac surfaces, providing optimised grip and handling characteristics for on-road courses. The 26mm width and 1.9-inch diameter create the correct proportions and tyre contact patch for smooth surface driving, making these wheels ideal for drift cars and touring vehicles rather than off-road bashers.
- Will these wheels fit my brushless or nitro 1/10 scale RC car? — Yes, these wheels will work with both brushless electric and nitro-powered 1/10 scale RC cars, provided your vehicle uses the standard 12mm hex wheel fitting. The 1.9-inch diameter and on-road specification make them particularly suitable for street-focused platforms like the Banzai nitro and electric series.
- What is the difference between these and other 1/10 wheel sets? — The primary differences are the gun metal colour finish, the distinctive star spoke design, and the pre-mounted street/tread tyres that are optimised for on-road surfaces. These wheels deliver a professional aesthetic whilst maintaining the durability and performance expected from Fastrax components. The specific combination of wheel width, diameter, and tyre compound creates handling characteristics ideal for drift and touring disciplines.
- Are these tyres road-legal or suitable for outdoor driving? — These are high-grip RC model tyres designed specifically for on-road RC car driving on tarmac surfaces. They are not road-legal for real vehicles and are intended exclusively for RC hobby use on private land and designated RC courses.
- Can I use these wheels at both front and rear? — Yes, the Fastrax specification sheet confirms these wheels are suitable for both front and rear fitment, allowing you to use all four wheels from this set across your entire vehicle for consistent handling and appearance.
