Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a hobbyist just discovering the thrills of RC drifting, these pre-mounted wheels offer the perfect balance of style and performance. The distinctive gold finish with 10-spoke design delivers a premium aesthetic that complements any 1/10 scale build, whilst the carefully engineered drift tyres ensure you get the precise slip-to-grip ratio needed for controlled, entertaining drifting in confined spaces.

The ready-to-use format means there's no assembly required – simply bolt them onto your 1/10 touring car and start drifting straight away.
These wheels are ideal for anyone running a Kyosho Fazer, Team Associated TC, Tamiya TT-02 or any other 1/10 touring car platform. The dual compound tyres deliver a perfect amount of slip combined with just the right hint of grip when starting off, making them forgiving enough for beginners whilst responsive enough to satisfy experienced drifters looking to refine their technique.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax 1/10th Street Wheel/Drift Tyres deliver exceptional performance characteristics developed specifically for the unique demands of RC drifting. The dual compound construction of the tyres represents a careful engineering compromise between the low-grip requirements of sustained drifting and the need for enough mechanical grip to prevent the vehicle from becoming completely uncontrollable. User feedback consistently highlights how these tyres deliver the perfect amount of slip for initiating and maintaining drifts whilst providing sufficient traction during the initial stages of cornering, when you're bringing the car into the drift angle. The 1.9-inch diameter and 26mm width have been precisely calculated to work in harmony with the suspension geometry of most 1/10 touring cars, ensuring predictable handling characteristics across a wide range of driving conditions. The gold-finished aluminium alloy wheels are lightweight yet rigid, minimising unsprung mass whilst maintaining structural integrity through the stresses of aggressive drifting. The 10-spoke design offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and has proven popular across the RC car UK community for both its visual impact and its functional superiority over simpler wheel designs. These wheels represent an ideal upgrade path for anyone looking to improve their drifting performance without requiring a complete vehicle rebuild or significant investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these Fastrax drift wheels fit my 1/10 touring car? — Yes, provided your 1/10 touring car uses the industry-standard 12mm hex fitting system. This includes virtually all popular platforms such as Tamiya TT-02 series, Team Associated TC series, Kyosho Fazer series, and most other contemporary 1/10 on-road vehicles. If you're unsure about your vehicle's fitting system, check your car's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop for confirmation before ordering.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners learning to drift? — Absolutely. In fact, these wheels are particularly well-suited to beginners thanks to their forgiving dual compound tyre design, which provides enough grip to prevent the vehicle from becoming uncontrollable whilst still allowing smooth drift initiation. Many users specifically praise them for the "perfect amount of slip with a hint of grip" that makes learning drifting techniques more accessible and enjoyable.
- What is the difference between these Fastrax drift wheels and standard touring car wheels? — The primary difference lies in the tyre compound and design. Standard touring car wheels typically use harder compound tyres with greater grip levels designed for maximum cornering speed, whilst these Fastrax drift wheels feature specially formulated dual compound tyres with reduced grip that allow the vehicle to slide controllably. Additionally, the visual design differs, with the 10-spoke pattern and gold finish giving these wheels a distinctive aesthetic that appeals to drifting enthusiasts.
- Can I use these wheels at both the front and rear of my touring car? — Yes, these wheels are specifically designed as front and rear compatible, meaning you can run them on all four corners of your 1/10 touring car, providing a unified, professional appearance and ensuring consistent handling characteristics throughout your vehicle.
- How long will the tyres last with regular use? — The lifespan of your tyres will depend on your driving intensity, the surface you're driving on, and maintenance practices. However, users report that these drift tyres provide excellent durability for recreational drifting. Many enthusiasts find it worthwhile to keep spare wheels pre-mounted so they can swap them during driving sessions without interrupting their fun.
- Do I need to balance these wheels? — For recreational drifting purposes, wheel balancing is not essential, as the reduced speeds and sliding nature of drifting make any imbalance less noticeable than in high-speed on-road racing. However, if you plan to use these wheels for high-speed touring, balancing may improve performance.
