Overview
The FTX Rokatan/Ramraider Aluminium Wheel Hexes (4) are precision-engineered upgrade components designed to enhance the performance and durability of your FTX 1/10 scale RC monster truck. These aluminium hexes represent a significant quality upgrade over standard plastic alternatives, offering improved strength, reduced wear, and superior weight distribution for serious RC enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road adventures or a competitive RC car enthusiast pushing your machine to the limit, upgrading to aluminium wheel hexes is one of the most effective ways to improve your vehicle's handling, reliability and longevity.
Compatible with both the FTX Ramraider 1/10 Monster Truck RTR models and the FTX Rokatan platform, these aluminium hexes are engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of serious RC driving. The set includes four hexes—one for each wheel position—ensuring consistent performance across your entire drivetrain. By replacing the standard plastic hexes with these robust aluminium alternatives, you'll immediately notice improved responsiveness, better traction characteristics, and a noticeable reduction in flex and play during aggressive cornering and high-speed runs. For anyone running a ready to run RC monster truck in the UK and looking for genuine performance upgrades, these aluminium wheel hexes deliver exceptional value and measurable improvements.
FTX has engineered these components as part of their comprehensive range of transmission tune-up options and hop-up parts, allowing you to customise your RC vehicle exactly to your needs. Whether you're upgrading a stock machine or building a competition-ready setup, aluminium hexes are a proven way to enhance drivetrain integrity and overall vehicle performance.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — These wheel hexes are manufactured from high-grade aluminium, offering significantly superior durability compared to standard plastic hexes, ensuring they resist stripping and wear through extended use and demanding driving conditions.
- Set of Four — The package includes four complete hexes, providing a full set for all four wheel positions on your 1/10 scale RC monster truck, ensuring balanced and consistent performance across the entire vehicle.
- Direct Compatibility — Engineered specifically for the FTX Rokatan and FTX Ramraider platforms, these hexes offer perfect fitment without modification, allowing for straightforward installation and immediate performance benefits.
- Transmission Upgrade — Classified as a transmission tune-up component, these hexes work directly with your drivetrain to improve power delivery, reduce mechanical play, and enhance overall vehicle response during acceleration and cornering.
- Proven Performance Upgrade — Part of FTX's extensive range of hop-up options and spares, these aluminium hexes are recognised by RC enthusiasts as a core upgrade that delivers tangible improvements in handling and reliability.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan/Ramraider Aluminium Wheel Hexes represent a fundamental upgrade to the drivetrain of your 1/10 scale RC monster truck. Constructed from precision-engineered aluminium rather than plastic, these components offer dramatically improved rigidity and resistance to the torque loads generated during aggressive acceleration, high-speed cornering, and challenging terrain navigation. The aluminium material construction ensures minimal flex under load, which translates directly to better power transfer from your motor through the transmission to the wheels, resulting in more responsive steering and acceleration feel. Each hex in the set of four has been manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect fitment with FTX Ramraider and Rokatan vehicles, eliminating the play and potential for failure that can develop in plastic hexes during extended use. For RC enthusiasts in the UK running brushless or brushed editions of the FTX Ramraider 1/10 Monster Truck RTR, or those operating the FTX Rokatan platform, upgrading to aluminium hexes is one of the most cost-effective performance modifications available, offering measurable improvements in handling precision and long-term component longevity.
