Technical Performance
These Fastrax 1/10th Mounted Arrow Buggy Front Tyres deliver the technical performance characteristics essential for competitive and recreational RC buggy racing. The 2.2-inch wheel diameter is the standard specification for 1/10 scale buggies, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the correct geometry for your chassis setup. The 12mm hex fitting integrates seamlessly with virtually all 1/10 4WD buggies currently available in the UK market, including Tamiya TT-02B platform buggies and modern brushed RTR models like the FTX Vantage 2.0. The Arrow compound has been formulated to balance grip with durability, providing responsive steering feedback during cornering whilst resisting excessive wear over extended bashing or racing sessions. The lightweight 10-spoke wheel construction minimises rotational mass, which helps improve acceleration response and reduces the stress placed on your buggy's motor and drivetrain. Whether you're running these on loose off-road surfaces, hard-packed tracks, or mixed terrain, the Arrow tyre provides predictable performance and excellent value for money. The black colour finish complements any buggy aesthetic whilst hiding dirt and debris better than lighter colours.
