Overview

The Fastrax 1:10 SC Eagle Mounted 5-Spoke Black wheel and tyre set is an essential upgrade for enthusiasts running short course RC trucks in the UK. Whether you're piloting a Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4, Blitz, or any compatible 1:10 short course platform, these wheels deliver both authentic scale appearance and genuine performance on a variety of surfaces. Sold as a pair, these mounted tyres and wheels are ready to bolt straight onto your RC truck, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting and balancing. The distinctive 5-spoke black design gives your RC car UK-friendly styling that looks fantastic whether you're racing at the track or bashing in your garden.

Short course trucks have become increasingly popular in the RC hobby community across the UK, and upgrading your wheels and tyres is one of the most impactful modifications you can make to improve handling, grip and overall performance. The Eagle 5-spoke design has become a classic choice among serious RC enthusiasts, offering a perfect balance between scale realism and functional performance. These Fastrax wheels are engineered to provide excellent on-road and off-road versatility, making them ideal for both competitive racing and casual weekend bashing. If you're looking to enhance your 1:10 short course truck setup or replace worn factory wheels, this is a quality solution backed by the Fastrax brand reputation for reliable RC components.

Ready to run RC vehicles often come with basic factory wheels that don't truly showcase your truck's potential. By upgrading to these premium Fastrax 5-spoke wheels, you'll notice improved handling characteristics, better weight distribution, and a more professional appearance that reflects the quality of your RC investment. The dual profile design caters to different driving conditions, allowing you to maintain traction and control whether you're tackling hard surfaces or dry grass terrain. This is the kind of upgrade that separates casual RC enthusiasts from those serious about getting the most from their machine.

Key Features

• 5-Spoke Black Design — The iconic 5-spoke wheel geometry provides authentic scale appearance whilst maintaining the structural strength needed for demanding RC applications. The black finish delivers a professional, race-ready look that complements virtually any truck body colour and enhances the overall visual impact of your vehicle.
• Dual Profile Tyre Construction — These wheels feature a sophisticated dual profile design with a 2.2-inch outer diameter and 3.0-inch inner diameter, providing multiple contact patches that adapt to different driving surfaces. This engineering allows the tyres to perform effectively on hard tarmac whilst remaining usable on dry grass and mixed terrain, giving you genuine versatility.
• 12mm Hex Fitment — The universal 12mm hex connection point ensures broad compatibility with most 1:10 short course trucks on the market, including all Traxxas Slash variants and comparable models from other manufacturers. This standardised connection means simple, tool-free installation and the ability to swap wheels between compatible vehicles.
• Sold as Pair — Each purchase includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing front-end coverage for 2WD vehicles or allowing you to upgrade one axle at a time on 4WD platforms. This pair-based offering represents genuine value for money compared to purchasing individual wheels.
• Optimal Tyre Specifications — With a tyre diameter of 108.6mm and width of 45mm, these dimensions have been carefully engineered to provide the ideal contact patch for 1:10 short course applications. The tyre width ensures predictable handling characteristics whilst the diameter maintains proper suspension geometry and steering response.
• Fastrax Quality and Reliability — Fastrax is a recognised leader in RC components and accessories throughout the UK and beyond. These wheels are manufactured to consistent standards that RC enthusiasts trust, ensuring durability through hundreds of hours of running time whether you're on the track or in the field.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1:10 SC Eagle wheels represent excellent engineering for their price point and application. The tyre compound has been selected to provide balanced performance across multiple surfaces—users have reported that the tyres perform exceptionally well on hard surfaces whilst remaining usable on dry grass, though some balloon effect may occur under acceleration on softer terrain. The 108.6mm diameter and 45mm width create an aggressive stance on your truck whilst maintaining proper suspension geometry and ensuring your vehicle doesn't sit too high or too low. The 12mm hex fitment is the industry standard for 1:10 short course trucks, meaning installation is straightforward—simply remove your factory wheels, align the hex splines, and secure with the appropriate centre nut. These wheels are compatible with any 1:10 short course truck platform using the standard 12mm hex system, making them an intelligent choice if you plan to upgrade multiple vehicles or change platforms in future. The dual profile design is particularly clever engineering; the 2.2-inch outer measurement provides the overall wheel diameter you need, whilst the 3.0-inch inner measurement accommodates the various suspension geometry requirements of different chassis designs. This flexibility means you can confidently fit these to Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4, and Blitz trucks without compatibility concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for my Traxxas Slash 2WD or 4x4? — Yes, absolutely. These Fastrax wheels are specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4, and similar 1:10 short course trucks. The 12mm hex fitment is the standard connection point used across the Slash range, so installation is straightforward. You can fit them to either the front or rear axle, depending on your preferences and whether you want to upgrade one end at a time.
• Will these tyres work on different surfaces? — Yes, these wheels offer genuine versatility. Users report that they perform very well on hard surfaces and remain usable on dry grass, making them suitable for mixed-terrain running. You may notice some ballooning effect on softer ground or at high acceleration, which is normal tyre behaviour under load, but overall the dual profile design adapts well to changing conditions throughout a typical driving session.
• What makes the dual profile design beneficial? — The dual profile construction, with a 2.2-inch outer diameter and 3.0-inch inner diameter, creates multiple contact patches that adapt to different driving surfaces and suspension heights. This means the tyres maintain good grip whether you're on tarmac or grass, and accommodate the varying suspension geometry of different 1:10 short course platforms. It's intelligent engineering that delivers practical benefits.
• Will I need any tools to install these wheels? — Installation is very simple. You'll need only a hex key (Allen key) that matches your chassis centre hub, which you likely already own. Remove your existing wheels, slide the new ones onto the 12mm hex splines, and tighten securely. No tyre mounting equipment or special tools are required since these come pre-mounted.
• How do these compare to factory Traxxas wheels? — Fastrax wheels are aftermarket components engineered specifically for performance and value. Whilst factory Traxxas wheels are adequate, these Eagle 5-spoke wheels offer improved aesthetics with their distinctive design and users report the tyre compound provides better grip on various surfaces. They represent a genuine performance upgrade and allow you to personalise your truck's appearance.
• Can I use these on my Traxxas Blitz? — Yes, the Traxxas Blitz uses the same 12mm hex fitment as the Slash range, so these Fastrax wheels are fully compatible. The Blitz benefits particularly from upgraded wheels given its enthusiast-focused market positioning.
• What is the wheel offset? — The wheel offset is listed as TBC (to be confirmed) in the specifications. For most 1:10 short course applications, the offset is not a critical specification as these vehicles use fixed suspension geometry, but if you require exact offset measurements for a specific application, we recommend contacting our team for technical clarification.
