Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/8 Rock Block wheel and tyre combination represents a refined approach to off-road buggy performance. The Rock Block tyre compound has been developed through extensive testing to provide optimal performance across the temperature ranges and ground conditions typical of UK RC racing and recreational driving. With a tyre diameter of 118.7mm and a width of 44.6mm, these tyres offer a balanced footprint that delivers responsive handling without sacrificing traction in cornering. The black chrome 8-spoke wheels are engineered from quality materials that provide the structural rigidity necessary to maintain wheel geometry under the lateral loads experienced during aggressive cornering, whilst remaining lightweight enough to minimise unsprung mass and improve overall vehicle dynamics. The 17mm hex connection point is the industry standard for 1/8 scale off-road buggies, ensuring that installation is straightforward and that these wheels will integrate seamlessly with your existing setup. The combination of proven tyre compound, thoughtful wheel design, and universal fitment makes this a genuine performance upgrade that will be immediately noticeable when you take your RC buggy out for its next run, whether you are competing in time trials, enjoying casual weekend bashing, or testing new setups at your favourite UK RC venue.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for all 1/8 off-road buggies? — Yes, the Fastrax 1/8 Rock Block wheels are designed with universal 1/8 off-road buggy compatibility in mind. As long as your buggy has standard 17mm hex adaptors fitted to the front and rear axles, these wheels will fit directly without any modification or additional parts required. This makes them an excellent choice whether you are running a popular UK brand like ARRMA, Losi, Team Associated, Serpent, or any other established 1/8 buggy manufacturer.
• What terrain are the Rock Block tyres best suited for? — The Rock Block compound has been formulated to deliver consistent grip across a variety of terrain types, making these tyres particularly well-suited to the mixed and unpredictable ground conditions commonly encountered in British RC racing venues. They perform well on grass, dirt, clay, and hard-packed surfaces, making them a versatile choice for both recreational bashing and competitive racing scenarios without requiring a tyre change between different track layouts.
• Can I use these wheels on both the front and rear of my buggy? — Absolutely. The Fastrax 1/8 Rock Block wheels are approved for both front and rear fitment, which means you can install them across your entire buggy for consistent performance, or use them strategically on either the front or rear axles as part of your setup tuning strategy.
• What is included with my purchase? — This product is sold as a pair, meaning you receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies ready to fit directly onto your buggy's hex adaptors. Each wheel comes pre-mounted with a Rock Block tyre, so you simply need to remove your existing wheels and install these new ones in their place.
• Are these wheels lightweight enough for competitive racing? — Yes. The 8-spoke black chrome wheel design prioritises a balance between lightweight construction and rigid strength. The wheels are engineered to minimise unsprung mass, which is critical for maintaining responsive handling and accelerated weight transfer during aggressive cornering manoeuvres typical of competitive 1/8 buggy racing across UK venues.
