Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger Front 26mm Rubber Wheel and Tyre Set represents quality on-road wheel engineering designed specifically for 1/10 scale brushless RC touring cars. The 26mm diameter measurement is the standard specification for FTX's Stinger 1/10 brushless on-road platform, which uses two-wheel drive geometry optimised for street and circuit track surfaces. These rubber compound tyres are engineered to provide grip characteristics suitable for smooth asphalt, car park surfaces, and indoor carpet tracks where on-road RC driving typically takes place. The 12mm hex fitting interfaces directly with FTX's proprietary driveshaft design, requiring no additional adaptors or modifications for installation. The wheels are specifically positioned as front units, where they work in concert with the vehicle's steering geometry to deliver responsive handling feedback and precise directional control. The black colour finish is resilient and resistant to typical outdoor use conditions, maintaining its appearance through extended driving sessions. These genuine OEM components ensure that your FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless street car maintains the handling characteristics and performance standards that FTX engineered into the platform, whether you're operating a grey or red Stinger variant or any compatible EVO30 model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models do these front wheels fit? — These 26mm front wheels are designed for the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless on-road street RC car, available in both grey and red variants. They are also compatible with the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed and brushless street car platforms, making them a versatile upgrade option for owners of either model line.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are OEM replacement wheels designed for ready-to-run FTX Stinger and EVO30 models, which are beginner-friendly RC cars. No special technical knowledge is required for installation, and the wheels themselves are durable and forgiving for learner drivers discovering on-road RC for the first time.
- How often do I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on usage frequency and driving surface conditions. For casual weekend driving on clean surfaces, these tyres typically provide many months of use. Heavy or competitive use on rough tracks will accelerate wear. Replacing tyres when they become worn improves handling, traction and steering response noticeably.
- Do these fit other 1/10 scale RC cars? — These wheels are specifically engineered for FTX's 1/10 scale Stinger and EVO30 platforms with 12mm hex fittings. Whilst some other 1/10 cars may share 12mm hex connections, compatibility is not guaranteed without verifying wheel diameter and offset specifications with your vehicle's documentation.
- What is the difference between front and rear wheels for the FTX Stinger? — Front wheels require different tyre characteristics than rear wheels due to steering input dynamics and weight distribution. Front tyres manage directional control and braking forces, whilst rear tyres manage acceleration and lateral stability. Using the correct position-specific wheels ensures optimal handling balance.
- Can I use these on both road and off-road surfaces? — These are on-road street tyres specifically designed for smooth asphalt, car park surfaces and indoor carpet tracks. They are not engineered for off-road terrain such as grass, gravel or dirt, where you would need dedicated off-road tyre compounds with different tread patterns and rubber formulations.
