Overview
The Fastrax Block 1/10th Buggy Tyres (2) - Rear represent an excellent upgrade opportunity for RC enthusiasts across the UK looking to refresh or replace worn tyres on their 1/10th scale buggies. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher, these pre-mounted rear tyres offer a straightforward path to improved performance and grip on off-road terrain. Expanding Fastrax's proven range of wheels and tyres for the off-road market, these new block-pattern tyres are specifically engineered to deliver reliable traction and durability for 1/10th buggy racing and recreational driving.
These pre-mounted tyres are particularly valuable as perfect replacements for the wheels and tyres supplied with most 1/10th buggy kits. Whether you're upgrading from a ready to run RC buggy or refreshing tired stock components, the Fastrax Block pattern delivers measurable improvements in grip and handling characteristics. The universal compatibility with standard 12mm hex fittings means these tyres will fit most Tamiya, Kyosho and Ansmann 1/10th buggies, making them an accessible upgrade option for the vast majority of 1/10th scale buggy platforms currently in use across the UK RC hobby community.
For those piloting competition buggies or high-performance models, these rear tyres provide genuine performance benefits that justify the investment. The block tread pattern is specifically designed for off-road conditions, offering superior edge grip and predictable handling characteristics. If you're serious about extracting the best performance from your 1/10th buggy, quality tyres are just as important as any other component in your setup.
Key Features
- Pre-mounted Ready-to-Fit Design — These tyres arrive pre-mounted on wheels, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly, bead-seating, or tyre gluing. You can go from unboxing to track time in minutes rather than hours, which is especially valuable if you're preparing for a race or simply want to minimise downtime on your RC car.
- Block Tread Pattern — The block pattern is specifically engineered for off-road buggy performance, delivering excellent edge grip and consistent handling across various terrain types. This pattern excels on dirt, gravel, clay and grass surfaces, making it the ideal choice for outdoor RC buggy racing and recreational driving.
- Universal 12mm Hex Fitting — With standard 12mm hex fittings, these tyres are compatible with the overwhelming majority of 1/10th scale buggies. This universal fitment ensures you're not locked into a single brand ecosystem and can easily swap these tyres between compatible models in your collection.
- Rear-Specific Design — These tyres are engineered specifically for rear-wheel positioning, with characteristics optimised for weight transfer, traction delivery and directional stability during acceleration and cornering. Using tyres matched to their intended position significantly improves overall handling and predictability.
- White Wheel Colour — The clean white finish provides a smart, professional appearance whilst maintaining excellent visibility during high-speed driving. The colour also helps distinguish these rear tyres from your front set, reducing the risk of accidentally fitting them in the wrong position.
- Pack of Two Rear Tyres — Each package contains exactly two rear tyres, providing everything you need to completely refresh your buggy's rear end. This pack size is perfectly matched to the requirements of any 1/10th buggy configuration.
- Genuine Fastrax Quality — Fastrax is a recognised and trusted brand within the RC hobby community, known for delivering reliable components that offer genuine performance improvements. When you choose Fastrax, you're investing in proven engineering and quality assurance.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Block 1/10th Buggy Tyres represent a thoughtfully engineered upgrade component designed to deliver measurable performance improvements on the track and trail. At 2.2 inches in diameter, these tyres offer an optimal balance between ground clearance, ground contact patch and overall buggy geometry. The block tread pattern is engineered using materials selected for durability and consistent grip characteristics across multiple heat cycles, ensuring that performance remains predictable whether you're running your first lap or your fiftieth. The white wheel construction provides a sturdy foundation for the tyre, delivering the kind of build quality you'd expect from an established manufacturer. For competitive RC buggy racing, tyre choice is absolutely critical — marginal gains in grip and consistency can translate directly into faster lap times and more reliable performance in races. These rear-specific tyres are built with that principle in mind, delivering engineering that prioritises predictable performance and durability under demanding driving conditions. Whether you're running on UK off-road tracks, natural terrain venues or preparing for competition events, these tyres will provide the kind of consistent performance that separates capable setups from truly optimised machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which 1/10th buggies are these tyres compatible with? — These Fastrax Block tyres will fit most Tamiya, Kyosho and Ansmann 1/10th buggies, plus any other 1/10th buggy models that use standard 12mm hex fittings. This universal fitment covers the vast majority of 1/10th scale buggies currently in use. If you're uncertain whether they'll fit your specific model, check whether your current wheels feature standard 12mm hex fittings — if they do, these Fastrax tyres will be a direct fit.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These pre-mounted tyres are ideal for anyone new to the RC buggy hobby, as they arrive ready to fit without requiring any assembly, gluing or technical knowledge. Simply swap out your old tyres for these new ones, and you're ready to drive. For beginners upgrading from stock kit tyres, the improved grip and consistency of the block pattern will make a noticeable positive difference in handling and confidence.
- What terrain are these block pattern tyres best suited for? — The block tread pattern excels on loose off-road surfaces including dirt, gravel, clay and grass. This makes them ideal for outdoor RC buggy racing, trail driving and recreational bashing at UK off-road venues and natural terrain locations. They deliver excellent edge grip during cornering and consistent traction during acceleration on these surfaces.
- Why should I upgrade my factory-supplied tyres? — Most 1/10th buggy kits arrive with basic compound tyres optimised for general use rather than performance. Upgrading to dedicated aftermarket tyres like these Fastrax blocks delivers noticeable improvements in grip, consistency and handling precision. For competitive drivers, this translates to faster lap times; for recreational bashers, it means more predictable and rewarding driving characteristics across varied terrain.
- Are these tyres pre-glued or will I need to glue them? — These tyres arrive pre-mounted on wheels, meaning they're ready to fit directly to your buggy. There's no gluing, bead-seating or assembly required — simply install them using your existing 12mm hex adapters or convertors and you're ready to drive.
- What's the difference between front and rear block pattern tyres? — Front and rear tyres are engineered with different characteristics optimised for their respective positions. Rear tyres like these focus on traction delivery and acceleration stability, whilst front tyres prioritise steering response and cornering precision. Always use position-specific tyres for optimal handling and performance.
