FTX Tracer Monster Truck Blue Wheel Tyres Complete Set 1/16 Scale FTX9742B

Overview

The FTX Tracer Monster Truck Blue Wheel/Tyres Complete is an essential replacement part for owners of the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale monster truck range. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast looking for spare wheels and tyres for your collection, or a weekend basher who needs replacements after intensive off-road driving, these OEM-quality wheel and tyre sets deliver reliable performance and authentic fitment. The FTX Tracer has earned its reputation as one of the most capable 1/16 scale monster trucks available in the UK RC market, and these blue wheels maintain that standard of quality and durability.

Replacement wheels and tyres are crucial components for any RC car owner. As you push your FTX Tracer monster truck through challenging terrain, over obstacles and across varied surfaces, your tyres experience wear and degradation. Having genuine OEM replacement wheels and tyres on hand means you can keep your truck running at peak performance without downtime. The complete wheel and tyre set approach makes these parts particularly valuable — you're getting both wheels and tyres pre-assembled, so installation is straightforward and you're ready to drive within minutes. For owners of the FTX Tracer in any colour variant, stocking spare blue wheels ensures you have backup options whenever your original set needs rest and recovery or replacement.

These wheels are specifically engineered to work seamlessly with all FTX Tracer monster truck variants, from the standard 1/16 RTR versions through to the brushless 4WD models. The blue colour scheme complements the factory Tracer aesthetics, though they function identically across the entire Tracer product line. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC monster truck in top condition, reliable spare wheels and tyres are as essential as fuel or batteries. RC Model Shop stocks these genuine FTX parts to ensure you can keep your Tracer running.

Key Features

• Complete Pre-Assembled System — These wheel and tyre sets arrive fully assembled and ready to fit, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting, balancing or wheel preparation, which saves significant time and ensures perfectly matched rolling components straight from the box.
• Genuine OEM FTX Parts — As original equipment manufacturer components, these wheels and tyres are engineered and tested specifically for FTX Tracer monster trucks, guaranteeing correct fitment, proper weight distribution and optimal handling characteristics that match the truck's original design specifications.
• Blue Colour Finish — The distinctive blue wheels maintain visual consistency with the FTX Tracer's design language and offer a stylish appearance whether you're running on a blue truck or using them as accent colour upgrades on other Tracer variants.
• Durable Construction — FTX wheels and tyres are manufactured to withstand the rigorous demands of off-road RC driving, including impacts with rocks, roots and obstacles, maintaining structural integrity through repeated acceleration, braking and cornering forces typical of monster truck operation.
• Universal Tracer Compatibility — These wheels fit across the entire FTX Tracer range, including standard 1/16 RTR models in orange, blue and red, as well as the more advanced brushless 4WD variants, making them a versatile spare parts solution for any Tracer owner.
• Traction Optimisation — The tyre compound and tread pattern are specifically designed to deliver consistent grip across varied terrain, from smooth carpeted indoor tracks to loose outdoor soil, gravel and grass, ensuring predictable handling in all driving conditions.

Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Monster Truck Blue Wheel/Tyres Complete represents the engineering philosophy FTX has embedded throughout the Tracer range. These are not generic wheels fitted with budget tyres, but rather purpose-built rolling components designed to work in harmony with the Tracer's suspension geometry, motor characteristics and overall performance envelope. The wheels are engineered to precise tolerances to ensure even weight distribution, which is critical for maintaining consistent handling through high-speed corners and aggressive acceleration on uneven terrain. The tyre construction balances sidewall flexibility with tread stiffness — flexible sidewalls allow the tyre to conform to irregular ground surfaces and absorb impacts from rocks and roots without transmitting excessive shock to the suspension, whilst the tread design maintains bite and prevents sliding during acceleration and braking. The complete assembly approach means wheels and tyres are matched for diameter consistency, preventing the handling issues that can arise when mixing and matching different component sources. For Tracer owners running the brushless 4WD variants with their enhanced power output, quality wheels and tyres become even more critical for translating motor performance into controlled forward momentum. Whether you're operating at stock performance levels or pushing the truck harder, these wheels and tyres provide the foundation for reliable, predictable driving characteristics across grass, dirt, rock and mixed terrain typical of UK RC driving environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX Tracer models are these wheels compatible with? — These blue wheels are designed to fit all FTX Tracer 1/16 scale monster truck variants, including the FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR in orange (FTX5576O), blue (FTX5576B) and red (FTX5576R) versions, as well as the standard 4WD RTR red model (FTX5576R), the brushless 1/16 4WD RTR yellow (FTX5596Y), brushless blue (FTX5596B) and brushless red (FTX5596R) versions. If you own any Tracer-branded FTX monster truck in 1/16 scale, these wheels will fit directly.
• Are these wheels pre-assembled with tyres? — Yes, these are supplied as complete wheel and tyre assemblies, meaning the tyres are already mounted and ready to fit onto your FTX Tracer. You simply need to remove your worn wheels and bolt on the replacements — no tyre mounting equipment or additional assembly is required.
• Why should I choose genuine FTX replacement wheels over third-party alternatives? — Genuine OEM wheels are engineered and tested specifically for your FTX Tracer's suspension geometry, motor power and overall design specifications. Genuine FTX wheels ensure perfect fitment, proper weight balance and handling characteristics that match your truck's original performance envelope. Third-party wheels may fit physically but can cause handling issues, uneven wear and unpredictable behaviour. Sticking with genuine FTX parts protects your truck's investment and driving experience.
• How often should I replace my Tracer's wheels and tyres? — The frequency depends on usage intensity and terrain. Casual recreational drivers might replace tyres every 6-12 months, whilst competitive or daily bashers might do so every 2-3 months. Visual inspection is your best guide — replace when you notice visible tread wear, tears in the sidewalls, or hardened rubber that no longer grips effectively. Having spare wheels on hand prevents downtime whilst allowing your primary set to be rested or serviced.
• Can these blue wheels be used on other FTX models? — These wheels are specifically designed for the FTX Tracer monster truck range. FTX produces many different models with different suspension geometry, motor specifications and intended use cases. Whilst the blue wheels might physically attach to other FTX models, performance and handling cannot be guaranteed. For best results and reliability, always use wheels matched to your specific FTX model.
• What makes FTX wheels suitable for both indoor and outdoor RC driving? — The tyre compound and tread pattern are engineered to deliver consistent grip across varied surfaces. The tread design provides traction on loose outdoor terrain like grass and dirt whilst maintaining control on smoother indoor carpeted surfaces. The sidewall construction absorbs impacts from outdoor obstacles whilst providing the rigidity needed for responsive steering on indoor tracks. This versatility makes genuine FTX wheels ideal for owners who bash in multiple environments.
