Key Features
- 6-Spoke Professional Design — The classic six-spoke wheel design is the gold standard for RC drift cars, providing a lightweight structure that reduces unsprung weight and improves handling response. This design is favoured by RC drift competitors worldwide because it offers the perfect balance between strength and minimal rotational mass.
- 6mm Offset Specification — The 6mm offset is a precisely engineered dimension that allows you to fine-tune your RC drift car's stance and track width. This specification is critical for achieving the correct handling balance and visual presentation on 1/10 scale platforms, enabling drivers to experiment with different suspension geometries for optimal drift performance.
- Striking Black with Red Trim Colour Scheme — The eye-catching combination of gloss black wheel finish with bold red trim accents delivers authentic street-machine styling that makes your RC drift car stand out at the track. This colour option is particularly popular among UK RC enthusiasts who appreciate the aggressive aesthetic that complements modern RC drift platforms.
- 12mm Hex Fitting System — These wheels utilise the universal 12mm hex fitting standard, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC cars currently available in the UK market. This standardised connection system means you can confidently mount these wheels to your existing RC platform without worrying about fitment issues.
- 1.9 Inch Wheel Diameter — The 1.9-inch wheel size is the industry-standard specification for 1/10 scale on-road and drift RC cars. This diameter provides the correct proportions for street-style vehicles and ensures proper ground clearance and gearing calculations across compatible platforms.
- Front and Rear Compatible — These wheels are engineered for use on both front and rear axles, giving you complete flexibility in your setup configuration. Whether you're building a four-wheel matching set or mixing and matching wheel designs, the universal compatibility ensures these wheels work exactly where you need them.
- Pack of Four Wheels — Each purchase includes four complete wheels, providing a full set for your 1/10 scale RC car. This convenient pack size means you have everything needed to outfit your drift platform with fresh wheels in one transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my RC drift car? — These Fastrax wheels are designed for 1/10 scale on-road and drift platforms using standard 12mm hex fitting systems. They are confirmed compatible with the FTX Banzai 1/10 4WD RTR Electric Drift Car (available in Red and Green), the FTX 1/10 Touring/Drift Car Roller Chassis, the FTX Banzai Nitro 1/10 On-Road Street Car (available in White and Blue), and many other popular 1/10 scale RC cars currently available in the UK. If you're unsure whether these wheels will fit your specific model, we recommend checking that your RC car uses a 12mm hex fitting system and is a 1/10 scale platform. Our team at RC Model Shop can provide further guidance if you need it.
- What does the 6mm offset mean and why does it matter? — Offset refers to the distance between the wheel's mounting surface (where it connects to the hex) and the geometric centre of the wheel. A 6mm offset pulls the wheel outward from the axle by that measurement, affecting your vehicle's track width and suspension geometry. This specification is important because it influences how your RC drift car handles, its visual stance, and how it interacts with your suspension setup. Different offset values allow you to fine-tune your drift car's characteristics, and the 6mm specification on these wheels is a popular middle-ground choice suitable for a wide range of driving styles and track conditions.
- Will these wheels improve my RC drift car's performance? — These wheels themselves don't directly improve performance in the sense of making your car faster, but they do enable performance optimisation through their offset specification and compatibility with quality drift setups. What they do exceptionally well is provide a reliable, standardised platform that looks fantastic and contributes to the overall balance and predictability of your RC drift car's handling. Fresh wheels with consistent tolerances can make a noticeable difference in how your vehicle feels during drift runs, as worn or damaged wheels create inconsistencies that affect steering feel and stability.
- Can I use these wheels on both front and rear? — Yes, absolutely. These wheels are designed for universal use and can be mounted on both front and rear axles of compatible 1/10 scale RC cars. This flexibility means you can create a completely matching four-wheel setup or experiment with different combinations depending on your performance preferences and desired aesthetic.
- How do these wheels compare to other 1/10 drift wheel options? — The Fastrax brand is recognised throughout the UK RC community for offering excellent value without sacrificing quality. These wheels represent a cost-effective option that doesn't mean compromising on engineering standards or reliability. The six-spoke design is the most popular choice among serious RC drift competitors, and the 6mm offset is one of the most versatile specifications available, making these wheels an intelligent choice whether you're building your first drift setup or upgrading an existing platform.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These wheels are perfect for anyone new to RC drifting because they're straightforward to install, compatible with the most popular beginner-friendly drift platforms, and they cost just £10.99, making them an accessible upgrade. You don't need specialist knowledge to fit them—they simply push onto your RC car's 12mm hex fittings—and they immediately contribute to a more professional look and feel for your vehicle.
- What is the wheel diameter and does it matter? — These wheels have a 1.9-inch diameter, which is the standard specification for 1/10 scale on-road and drift RC cars. This size matters because it maintains the correct visual proportions for street-style vehicles and ensures proper ground clearance relative to your car's bodywork and suspension components. Using the correct diameter ensures your speedometer calculations remain accurate and your vehicle maintains the intended handling characteristics designed into the platform.
