Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/10 Street/Drift Tyre 6-Spoke Wheel represents precision engineering in RC component design. The 6-spoke alloy construction provides the optimal balance between strength and weight reduction, essential for maintaining responsive handling in competitive drift scenarios where driver input must be immediately reflected in vehicle behaviour. The blue chrome finish is not merely cosmetic; the chroming process adds a protective layer that helps resist corrosion and maintains the wheel's appearance through regular use and exposure to varying weather conditions typical of UK RC driving environments. At 1.9 inches in diameter, these wheels are sized to deliver the correct rolling circumference for 1/10 scale street and drift cars, ensuring accurate speedometer readings if your vehicle includes telemetry, and maintaining the proper stance and geometry that chassis designers intended. The 6mm offset specification is critical for on-road performance, positioning the wheel face to work in harmony with your vehicle's suspension geometry and steering geometry, promoting neutral handling characteristics and allowing drivers to explore the full performance envelope of their RC drift car without fighting the chassis. The 12mm hex fitting is industry-standard, meaning these wheels integrate seamlessly with vehicles from multiple manufacturers, providing flexibility in your RC car setup. Whether you're upgrading a ready-to-run RC car or optimising a competition drift machine, these wheels deliver the precision and reliability that separate casual hobbyists from serious enthusiasts in the UK RC scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for competition RC drift racing? — Yes, absolutely. These wheels are specifically engineered for street and drift applications, with the 6-spoke design and 6mm offset providing the handling characteristics that competitive drifters require. The blue chrome finish combines style with durability, making these wheels perfect for serious hobby racers and weekend competitors alike.
• What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — These wheels feature a standard 12mm hex fitting, which is the industry-standard connection used across most 1/10 scale on-road RC cars. They are explicitly compatible with FTX Banzai 1/10 scale 4WD RTR cars in red, green, and white variants, as well as FTX touring and drift car chassis. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm 12mm hex fitting before purchasing.
• What is the wheel diameter and why does it matter? — These wheels measure 1.9 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for 1/10 scale on-road vehicles. The correct diameter is crucial because it determines your vehicle's top speed, acceleration characteristics, and ground clearance. Incorrect wheel sizes can dramatically alter your car's performance and may require suspension adjustments.
• What does the 6mm offset mean? — The offset refers to how far the wheel face sits from the centreline of the wheel hub. A 6mm offset means the wheel face is positioned 6 millimetres outward from the hub centreline. This specification affects your vehicle's handling balance, track width, and the loads placed on the suspension and steering components. The correct offset ensures your RC car handles as the chassis designer intended.
• Are these wheels easy to install? — Extremely easy. The 12mm hex fitting simply slides onto your vehicle's 12mm hex pins and is secured with the grub screws already fitted to your car. Installation takes seconds per wheel and requires no special tools beyond basic hex wrenches you likely already own for RC car maintenance.
• Will these wheels fit my RC car? — Most 1/10 scale on-road RC cars use 12mm hex fittings, making these wheels compatible. However, some older vehicles or competition-specific platforms may use different connections. Before purchasing, verify that your RC car features 12mm hex hubs. If you're uncertain, contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for confirmation.
• What is the difference between these wheels and other Fastrax offerings? — Fastrax manufactures wheels across multiple scales and applications. These specific wheels are optimised for 1/10 scale street and drift driving, distinguishing them from larger 1/8 scale wheels or smaller 1/12 scale options. The 6-spoke design and blue chrome finish are specific to this model, offering a distinctive appearance compared to standard silver or black alternatives.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these wheels are suitable for drivers of all skill levels. If you're new to RC cars and own a compatible 1/10 scale on-road vehicle, upgrading to these wheels will immediately improve your car's appearance and may enhance handling performance. They require no special installation knowledge and integrate seamlessly with your existing setup.
• How durable is the blue chrome finish? — The chroming process creates a protective, corrosion-resistant layer over the underlying alloy wheel. Whilst the finish is extremely durable for typical hobby use, it can be scratched or scuffed through crashes or aggressive track use. The chrome provides excellent protection against the moisture and salt typical of UK weather conditions, helping maintain the wheels' appearance over seasons of use.
