Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/10 Street/Tread Tyre 6-Spoke Gold/Chrome Wheel set represents a solid engineering solution for on-road RC enthusiasts seeking replacement or upgrade wheels. The 26mm wheel width combined with the 1.9-inch diameter creates the correct track width and rolling circumference needed for 1/10 scale on-road platforms, ensuring that your RC car maintains accurate gearing performance and predictable handling characteristics. The street and tread tyre compound is formulated to deliver consistent grip on smooth tarmac surfaces, making these wheels particularly suitable for touring car racing, drift driving, and general on-road bashing on concrete and asphalt surfaces throughout the UK. The 6-spoke wheel design provides excellent structural rigidity whilst keeping unsprung weight to a minimum, which is critical in on-road driving where suspension compliance and responsive handling are essential for competitive lap times. The gold and chrome finish not only provides visual appeal but also indicates quality wheel construction with attention to detail in the manufacturing process. The 12mm hex fitting ensures universal compatibility with standard 1/10 scale on-road RC cars, making these wheels an easy drop-in replacement or upgrade option. Whether you're running a brushless RC car with modern electronics or a more traditional brushed setup, these wheels will perform consistently throughout extended driving sessions, handling the demands of circuit racing, drift courses, and recreational driving alike. The tyre compound is engineered to balance durability with performance, meaning you can enjoy extended running time without excessive wear, whilst maintaining the grip levels needed for confident cornering and precise steering response.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for all 1/10 scale on-road RC cars? — These wheels feature a 12mm hex fitting, which is the industry-standard connection type for the vast majority of 1/10 scale on-road RC cars currently available in the UK market. However, if your RC car uses 14mm hex, 15mm hex, or proprietary fitment systems, you will need to verify compatibility before purchasing. Check your RC car's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure about fitment compatibility.
• What surfaces are these tyres suitable for? — The street and tread tyre compound is specifically designed for on-road use on smooth tarmac and concrete surfaces. These tyres are not recommended for off-road use, gravel, dirt, or grass surfaces, where they would wear prematurely and provide inadequate grip. For off-road RC cars, you should select tyres with more aggressive tread patterns and softer compounds designed for those applications.
• Can I use these wheels for both touring car racing and casual bashing? — Yes, absolutely. These wheels and tyres are versatile enough for competitive touring car racing applications, drift driving, and casual recreational driving on tarmac surfaces. The consistent tyre compound and rigid wheel construction make them suitable for both high-performance circuit driving and leisurely neighbourhood running.
• How long do these tyres typically last? — Tyre longevity depends heavily on driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance. The street and tread compound is engineered for durability, so with moderate driving you can expect several hours of running time before noticeable wear occurs. Aggressive driving, high-speed running, and heavy cornering will reduce tyre life, whilst gentle cruising and smooth driving technique will extend it. Having spare wheel and tyre sets on hand is a practical approach to keeping your RC hobby running without downtime.
• Are these wheels pre-balanced? — These wheels arrive with tyres pre-mounted, which saves significant assembly time. For the best performance in competitive racing applications, many RC enthusiasts choose to balance their wheels, though standard recreational driving rarely requires this additional step. The wheels are manufactured to consistent tolerances that minimise imbalance, so they should perform well straight out of the box for most applications.
• What is the wheel width and how does it affect handling? — The 26mm wheel width is optimised for 1/10 scale on-road RC cars, providing an appropriate balance between lateral support and vehicle track width. Wider wheels can change your RC car's handling characteristics and may affect gearing ratios, so these wheels are designed to work within the standard specifications of typical 1/10 on-road platforms. If your vehicle uses non-standard offset or suspension geometry, you should verify compatibility.
