- 8-Spoke Wheel Design — The classic 8-spoke pattern provides an excellent balance between lightweight construction and structural rigidity, ensuring the wheels can handle aggressive cornering, jumps, and high-speed runs without compromising on aesthetic appeal.
- Wave Mounting System — The wave-mounted design secures the tyre firmly to the wheel whilst allowing controlled flexibility, which helps absorb impacts from rough terrain and jump landings, reducing stress on the vehicle's drivetrain and suspension components.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The 12mm hex connection is one of the most common standards in 1/10-scale RC vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility with short course trucks from multiple manufacturers including Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi, Associated, and other leading brands available through UK RC retailers.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax 1:10 SC Wave Mounted 8-Spoke Wheels are engineered with precision tolerances and quality materials to withstand the demanding requirements of modern short course truck racing. The 8-spoke pattern distributes stress evenly across the wheel structure whilst maintaining a lightweight design that doesn't compromise vehicle acceleration or battery runtime. The wave-mounting system creates a secure interface between wheel and tyre, utilising spring tension to keep components firmly seated even during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres. The 12mm hex fitting is a standard specification in 1/10-scale RC vehicles, meaning these wheels will integrate seamlessly with the majority of short course trucks currently available in the UK RC market. The wheel design allows for straightforward tyre installation and removal, making maintenance and tyre changes quick and straightforward. Whether you're running slick tyres for high-speed racing, off-road compound tyres for grip on loose surfaces, or rally block tyres for mixed terrain, the Fastrax wheels accommodate a range of popular tyre options available from RC suppliers across the UK. The consistent build quality ensures minimal runout and balance issues, which translates to improved handling precision and more predictable vehicle behaviour during competitive racing or casual recreational driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Fastrax 1:10 SC Wave Mounted wheels compatible with my short course truck? — Yes, provided your vehicle uses 12mm hex fittings, which is the standard specification for most 1/10-scale short course trucks sold in the UK including Traxxas, ARRMA, and other major manufacturers. Check your vehicle's manual or contact our team if you're unsure about compatibility.
- What tyres will fit these wheels? — These wheels are designed to work with standard 1/10-scale short course truck tyres, including slick racing tyres, off-road compound tyres, and rally block tyres from major suppliers. The specific tyre options available depend on the rim diameter and width of each individual wheel specification.
- Can I use these wheels for racing? — Absolutely. The Fastrax brand is popular within the competitive RC racing community, and these wheels are suitable for club-level short course racing as well as casual competitive events. Always check your specific racing series regulations to ensure aftermarket wheels are permitted.
- Are these wheels sold individually or in pairs? — Check the product listing, as these wheels may be available as individual units or as pre-assembled pairs depending on the seller's inventory.
- How do I install these wheels on my RC short course truck? — The 12mm hex fitting slides onto your vehicle's axle hex pins. Insert the wheel fully, ensuring it's seated properly, then secure it with your vehicle's retaining clip or pin as specified in your RC truck's manual.
- What maintenance do these wheels require? — Periodically inspect the wheels for signs of damage or excessive wear, particularly the mounting points where the wave system interfaces with the axle. Clean mud and dirt from the wheel to maintain balance and ensure smooth rotation.
- How do Fastrax waves-mounted wheels compare to glued tyre alternatives? — Wave-mounted systems offer the advantage of being removable and adjustable, allowing you to swap tyres quickly without destroying the wheel-tyre bond as is necessary with glued systems. This makes them more economical for drivers who regularly change tyres.
