Fastrax is a recognised name in the RC hobby community, known for producing high-quality drift components that work seamlessly with popular 1/10 scale RC drift platforms.

Key Features
- Dedicated Drift Tyre Compound — The D1 tyre has been formulated specifically for drift driving, offering a softer compound that provides the grip modulation needed for controlled slides without becoming too unpredictable or unstable through corners.
- Four Complete Wheel and Tyre Assemblies — This pack includes four ready-to-fit wheel and tyre combinations, giving you a full set for your drift car plus spare assemblies for testing different setups, rotating tyres, or having backups during competition days.
- 1.9-Inch Wheel Diameter — The 1.9-inch dimension is the industry-standard size for 1/10 scale drift cars, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of dedicated drift platforms and chassis on the market.
- 3mm Offset — The 3mm offset is carefully selected for drift geometry, providing the correct track width and suspension geometry interaction that serious drifters rely on for predictable handling and style.
- Graphite Colour 10-Spoke Design — The classic 10-spoke wheel pattern in graphite finish delivers an authentic, professional appearance that looks great on camera and matches the aesthetic of competitive drift car builds.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — Universal 12mm hex hub mounting ensures easy installation on virtually all 1/10 scale drift chassis, whether you're running Team Associated, Tamiya, Traxxas or other popular drift platforms.
- Front and Rear Use — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on your drift car, making the four-pack extremely versatile and allowing you to rotate or swap tyres as needed during extended driving sessions.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax D1 drift tyre has been engineered with drift-specific performance at its core. The tyre compound and sidewall construction work together to provide the progressive grip characteristics that separates good drift cars from genuinely competitive ones. The 1.9-inch wheel diameter paired with the 3mm offset geometry creates the correct track width and ride height for modern 1/10 scale drift platforms, which directly influences how your chassis sits, how the suspension responds, and ultimately how predictable your car feels through tight, controlled drifting. The 10-spoke wheel design isn't just aesthetically pleasing—it provides structural rigidity that matters when you're pushing your drift car to the limit, with even weight distribution around the wheel ensuring balanced rotation and minimal run-out during high-speed drifting manoeuvres. The graphite finish gives the wheels a premium appearance that stands out at drift events and in high-speed video footage. These are genuine consumables that will wear during use, particularly during drift sessions where sustained sliding creates tyre degradation, so having a four-pack allows you to experiment with fresh rubber, test different tyre ages and conditions, and always have a competitive setup ready to go. The 12mm hex fitting is a universal standard that means installation and removal takes seconds, allowing you to swap setups quickly between practice and competition modes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Fastrax drift tyres suitable for beginners new to RC drifting? — Yes, absolutely. The D1 tyre profile is specifically engineered for drift driving, making it an excellent choice whether you're just discovering RC drifting or already experienced. The predictable handling characteristics of the D1 compound actually make them easier for beginners to learn with, as they provide clear feedback about grip levels and how the car is behaving. As you improve, these same tyres will still perform well at higher driving speeds and more demanding drifting techniques.
- What is the difference between drift tyres and standard RC car tyres? — Drift tyres like the Fastrax D1 use a softer compound than grip tyres, which provides less overall adhesion but more progressive feedback—exactly what you need for smooth, controlled sliding. The sidewall construction is also tuned for drift driving, affecting how the car turns in and rotates through corners. Standard off-road or grip tyres are designed to maximise forward traction, which is the opposite of what you want in drifting, making dedicated drift tyres absolutely essential for proper drift car performance.
- Will these tyres fit my 1/10 scale drift car? — These Fastrax D1 tyres are 1.9 inches in diameter with a 12mm hex fitting, which is the standard specification for 1/10 scale drift cars. They will fit most popular drift platforms including Team Associated, Tamiya, Traxxas and other mainstream brands, but we always recommend checking your specific chassis manual to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- Why does this pack include four tyres instead of two? — Four tyres give you maximum flexibility—a full set for your drift car, plus spares for rotation, testing different tyre ages, or having backups during competition events. During extended drift sessions, having fresh tyres to swap in makes a noticeable difference to grip levels and driving feel, so serious drifters appreciate having multiple sets available.
- How long will these drift tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on how much you drive and drift. These are genuine consumables that will wear during use, particularly during extended drift sessions where continuous sliding creates tyre degradation. The benefit of buying a four-pack is that you always have fresh replacements ready when the original set starts to show wear.
- Can I use these tyres on the front and rear of my drift car? — Yes, the Fastrax D1 tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on 1/10 scale drift cars, which is why this four-pack is so versatile. You can run the same tyre compound front and rear, or rotate them between positions as needed.
