Technical Performance
The Fastrax 1/8 Eagle Tread wheels represent professional-grade engineering at accessible prices. With a tyre diameter of 113mm and width of 44.6mm, these tyres have been sized to provide optimal ground contact patch and load-carrying capacity for the demands of 1/8 scale off-road racing.

The 8-spoke wheel design utilises modern lightweight construction principles without compromising structural strength, allowing the wheels to withstand the repetitive impacts and forces generated during competitive racing.
