Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/10th Street Wheel/Drift Tyres represent excellent engineering focused on the specific demands of on-road and drift driving in 1/10th scale RC cars. The 10-spoke chrome wheels combine aesthetic appeal with functional design, featuring a wheel diameter of 1.9 inches which is the industry-standard size for 1/10th touring and drift platforms. The wheel width of 26mm provides an appropriately narrow profile for street and drift applications, minimising rolling resistance on smooth surfaces whilst maintaining stability through cornering and drifting manoeuvres. The chrome finish not only looks premium but also provides durability against the elements and repeated use on both indoor and outdoor tracks. The pre-mounted drift-specific tyres utilise a compound formulated to deliver the right balance between grip and controlled slip, essential for executing smooth drifts and maintaining vehicle control during rapid directional changes. The 12mm hex fitting ensures straightforward installation onto any compatible vehicle without requiring adapters, springs, or modifications, making these wheels accessible to beginners whilst satisfying experienced builders seeking reliable performance parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for beginners building their first RC drift car? — Yes, absolutely. The Fastrax 1/10th Street Wheel/Drift Tyres are perfect for beginners because they arrive pre-mounted and ready to use with a simple 12mm hex fitting that works on virtually all 1/10th scale touring and drift cars. You don't need to master tyre mounting or balancing techniques; simply bolt them on and start driving. The drift-specific tyre compound provides predictable behaviour that helps new drifters develop their skills consistently.
• Will these wheels fit my 1/10th RC car? — The 12mm hex fitting is the industry standard for 1/10th scale vehicles, so these wheels will fit the vast majority of 1/10th touring cars and drift cars currently available in the UK market. If your vehicle uses a different fitting (such as 14mm or pin-drive), these wheels will not be compatible, so verify your car's hex size before purchasing. The 1.9-inch diameter is also the standard for 1/10th on-road cars, ensuring proper fitment and correct vehicle dynamics.
• What is the difference between drift tyres and standard road tyres? — Drift tyres use a specially formulated compound that provides controlled slip characteristics, allowing your RC car to break traction smoothly and maintain slides predictably. Standard road tyres are formulated for maximum grip and traction, which would make drifting extremely difficult or impossible. If you're specifically building a drift car or planning to drift regularly, these drift-specific tyres are essential; if you're building a standard touring car focused on speed, you may prefer standard grip tyres instead.
• How many wheels do I get in a pack? — These Fastrax wheels are supplied as a complete set of four units, which is exactly what you need for a full wheel and tyre refresh on a 1/10th scale RC car. You receive matched wheels for all four corners: front left, front right, rear left, and rear right.
• What is the wheel width and will it suit my car? — The wheel width is 26mm, which is a standard narrow profile designed specifically for 1/10th scale on-road and drift applications. This width minimises rolling resistance on smooth surfaces and is compatible with standard 1/10th scale chassis designs without requiring spacers or adjustments.
• Can I use these wheels for both indoor and outdoor drifting? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are suitable for both indoor and outdoor drift surfaces. The drift-specific tyre compound works well on polished concrete, asphalt, and other smooth surfaces typical of drift courses and indoor drift arenas. Performance will vary depending on surface texture and grip conditions, but the tyres are designed to provide consistent, controllable slip across typical drifting environments.
