Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/10 Street/Tread Tyre Star Spoke Chrome Wheel has been engineered with the on-road RC racer in mind. The 1.9-inch diameter combined with the 26mm width creates the ideal rolling diameter and contact patch for 1/10 scale touring cars, drift cars, and street-focused RC platforms. The 12mm hex fitting means these wheels bolt directly onto the vast majority of 1/10 on-road RC car hubs without any adapters or modifications, making them plug-and-play replacements for most setups. The star spoke design isn't merely cosmetic; it provides an effective balance between light weight and structural rigidity, which is essential for maintaining consistent handling through tight corners and drift manoeuvres. The chrome plating is applied over a robust aluminium construction, creating wheels that are both visually stunning and practically durable enough for regular bashing and competitive use. The finish resists minor scuffs and weathering, and even with extensive use, these wheels maintain their lustrous appearance, making them a smart investment for the RC enthusiast who wants their car to look pristine.
