- Genuine FTX Components — As original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts from FTX, these wheels are engineered to exact specifications for your Tracer Truggy, guaranteeing perfect fitment and eliminating any compatibility concerns or compromises in performance.
- Supplied as a Pair — This pack includes two wheels with tyres, allowing you to replace a complete axle set in one convenient purchase, which is particularly useful for keeping your RC truggy balanced and handling predictably.
- Distinctive Red Colouring — The vibrant red finish matches the standard FTX Tracer aesthetic and helps you maintain a cohesive, professional appearance for your RC model whilst making identification easy at the track.
- Designed for 1/16 Scale Truggy Performance — These tyres are optimised for the handling characteristics and weight distribution of a 1/16 scale truggy, providing the right balance of grip, durability, and predictability across varied running surfaces.
Technical Performance
The FTX Tracer Truggy Wheel/Tyres Complete assembly represents a carefully engineered solution for 1/16 scale off-road running. The tyres are specifically profiled and compounded for truggy-style racing, where you need a blend of responsive cornering, good acceleration grip, and tyre longevity across multiple battery cycles. The wheel design is optimised to work with the suspension geometry and weight distribution of the Tracer platform, ensuring that handling remains predictable and confidence-inspiring whether you're bashing casually in a local park or competing in organised RC events. The complete pre-assembled nature of these wheels means the tyre bead is already seated correctly and the wheel is balanced, eliminating fitment variables and delivering consistent performance immediately upon installation. The build quality reflects FTX's reputation for delivering genuine value in the budget-friendly to mid-range RC market, with durable construction that can withstand the demands of regular use and occasional crashes without losing integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my FTX Tracer Truggy? — Yes, provided your model is one of the FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR Truggy variants listed above. The FTX9765R wheels are engineered specifically for the Tracer platform and will fit perfectly without modification. Always verify your specific model number before purchasing.
- Will these wheels improve my Tracer's performance? — If your current tyres are worn, glazed, or damaged, fresh replacement wheels and tyres will absolutely restore your truggy's handling characteristics, grip levels, and predictability. Worn tyres are one of the most common reasons for declining performance, so replacing them with genuine OEM wheels is often the single best upgrade you can make.
- Can I use these wheels on other RC cars? — These wheels are specifically designed for the FTX Tracer 1/16 truggy platform. Whilst they may physically fit other 1/16 scale vehicles, they are optimised for the Tracer's suspension geometry and handling characteristics. For best results and guaranteed compatibility, use them only on compatible Tracer models.
- How often should I replace my Tracer wheels and tyres? — Tyre wear depends heavily on your running surface and driving style. Hard concrete will wear tyres much faster than grass, and aggressive driving naturally increases wear. Most users find they need fresh tyres every 10-20 battery cycles of regular use. Keeping a spare set, like this pair, allows uninterrupted racing whilst your primary tyres are being worn down.
- What makes these better than generic aftermarket wheels? — Genuine FTX wheels are engineered to the exact specifications of your Tracer, ensuring perfect fitment, balanced weight distribution, and handling that matches what the vehicle's suspension was designed for. Generic wheels may work, but they often introduce inconsistencies that can affect handling predictability and overall performance.
- Do I need any tools to fit these wheels? — You'll need a suitable hex wrench or Allen key to remove your old wheels and install these new ones – the same tools you likely already use for RC maintenance. No special equipment or technical expertise is required beyond basic RC car maintenance.
