• Standard 12mm hex fitting — Compatible with the vast majority of 1/10th scale RC buggies manufactured by Tamiya, Kyosho, Ansmann and many others, the 12mm hex fitting is the industry standard for this class of vehicle. This means you won't need adapters or modification to fit them to your buggy.
• Arrow tyre profile — The tread pattern is optimised for tarmac and asphalt surfaces, providing superior grip and predictable handling on paved racing surfaces. Users consistently report excellent performance on asphalt with outstanding tyre longevity, meaning you get more runs for your money.
• Soft compound rubber — The tyres feature a soft rubber compound that delivers excellent grip characteristics, particularly on hard tarmac surfaces where traction is critical for competitive performance and fun factor during recreational driving.
• Professional spoked wheel design — The white spoked wheels have an attractive appearance and are engineered to work seamlessly with the Arrow tyre profile, creating a complete wheel-tyre package that looks great on display and performs exceptionally on the track.
• Pair package — Each package contains two tyres and wheels, which cover your front axle completely on a 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. Many users purchase rear sets separately to complete their upgrade project.
• Affordable upgrade option — Positioned as a budget-conscious alternative to premium tyre brands whilst maintaining solid performance characteristics, these Arrow tyres represent exceptional value for money in the UK RC market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Fastrax Arrow tyres suitable for my Tamiya buggy? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed to fit most Tamiya 1/10th buggies that use standard 12mm hex fittings. Compatible models include the Tamiya Plasma Edge II Buggy (TT-02B) and the Tamiya Neo Scorcher Buggy (TT-02B). Simply verify that your buggy uses 12mm hexagonal wheel hubs, and these tyres will fit perfectly.
• What surfaces perform best with the Arrow tyre profile? — The Arrow tyres are optimised for tarmac and asphalt surfaces where they deliver exceptional grip and stability. Multiple user reviews confirm perfect performance on asphalt with outstanding longevity, making them ideal if you primarily drive on paved surfaces. They are described as soft tyres with good grip characteristics, making them suitable for competitive track racing or casual fun driving on hard surfaces.
• How long do these tyres last? — Users consistently report a long lifespan compared to alternative tyre options, particularly on tarmac surfaces. The soft rubber compound provides excellent grip throughout the tyre's life, though longevity will naturally depend on driving intensity and surface conditions. For weekend bashers and casual drivers, expect extended use from a single set.
• Can I use these tyres on the rear of my buggy? — These tyres are specifically designed for front wheel position on 4WD buggies. Many users purchase both front and rear sets to achieve a completely matched setup across all four wheels, which we'd recommend for optimal handling balance and aesthetic consistency.
• What is the wheel diameter measurement? — The tyres feature a 2.2-inch wheel diameter, which equates to 80 millimetres overall diameter when fully mounted, with a width of 32 millimetres. These dimensions are standard for 1/10th scale buggy applications and ensure proper ground clearance and handling geometry.

Users specifically note they offer good performance and value, with attractive spoked rims included as part of the package.
• Will these fit my FTX or other brand buggies? — Provided your buggy uses standard 12mm hex wheel fittings, these Fastrax Arrow tyres will fit. The 12mm hex is the industry standard for 1/10th scale buggies, so compatibility extends beyond Tamiya, Kyosho and Ansmann to include most other manufacturers in this scale class.
