Rock block tyres are renowned for their exceptional grip and durability, offering superior traction across a wide variety of terrain conditions.

The dual-profile wheel design accommodates the specific requirements of 1:10 short course trucks, with a 2.2-inch outer diameter and 3.0-inch inner diameter that provides the geometry your truck needs for optimal handling. For anyone investing in a ready to run RC car or upgrading an existing model, these Fastrax wheels represent an outstanding value and a direct path to improved on-track performance.

Technical Performance
These Fastrax rock block mounted tyres represent the culmination of dedicated tyre engineering for the demanding 1:10 short course truck category. The rock block tread pattern has been specifically formulated to deliver consistent grip across the varied terrain conditions encountered in UK RC racing, from indoor carpet tracks to outdoor clay courses. The 108.8mm tyre diameter and 43mm width provide the contact patch geometry necessary for short course trucks to achieve balanced handling with neither excessive understeer nor oversteer. The tyre compound has been selected to provide durability across extended racing sessions whilst maintaining grip levels that don't degrade excessively with extended use. The 5-spoke wheel design incorporates modern manufacturing techniques to ensure concentricity and balance, critical factors for smooth high-speed running. The wheels are manufactured to tight tolerances to minimise vibration and wobble, ensuring your RC truck delivers the responsive handling required for competitive driving. These wheels integrate seamlessly with standard 1:10 short course truck suspension geometry, whether you're running a Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4, or similar models, and the pre-mounted configuration means you avoid any installation errors or air leaks that could compromise performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Fastrax rock block wheels suitable for Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4x4 models? — Yes, these wheels are explicitly designed for compatibility with Traxxas Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4, and the Blitz, as well as most other 1:10 short course trucks that use a 12mm hex fitment. The wheel offset and diameter specifications match the requirements of these models precisely.
- What is the difference between rock block and other tyre patterns for 1:10 short course trucks? — Rock block tyres feature a distinctive block tread pattern that provides superior grip on loose terrain whilst maintaining predictable handling on hardpacked surfaces. This makes them ideal for mixed-condition racing, whereas slick tyres suit indoor carpet tracks and pin-pattern tyres excel on heavily roughed-up tracks.
- Can I use these on the rear of my short course truck? — These wheels are specified for 2WD front fitment according to the product specifications, so they are optimised for front suspension mounting. Whilst the mechanical fitment may work on other positions, performance characteristics are designed around front axle use.
- Are these wheels pre-mounted and ready to fit immediately? — Yes, these tyres come pre-mounted and balanced on the 5-spoke wheels, allowing you to remove them from the box and fit them directly to your truck without requiring separate tyre installation tools or expertise.
- What wheel offset do these Fastrax wheels have? — The wheel offset specification is listed as TBC (to be confirmed) on the manufacturer specifications, so we recommend contacting us directly for the precise offset measurement if this is critical for your specific truck setup.
- Are these wheels available in the UK and in stock? — Yes, RC Model Shop stocks these Fastrax wheels and can provide ready delivery throughout the UK, offering a convenient solution for short course truck owners looking for immediate wheel upgrades without long waiting periods.
