Technical Performance
The Fastrax SC Stinger wheels represent a thoughtful engineering solution for 1:10 short course truck enthusiasts seeking reliable replacement or upgrade wheels. The dual profile design with 2.2-inch outer and 3.0-inch inner measurements creates an optimal balance between ground clearance and stability, whilst the 45mm width ensures adequate contact patch for traction without excessive rolling resistance. At 109.5mm overall diameter, these wheels maintain proper suspension geometry and preserve accurate speedometer calibration on compatible vehicles. The 12mm hex fitment is standard across the majority of short course platforms currently available in the UK RC market, ensuring straightforward installation without modification or adapters. The black 5-spoke construction provides excellent strength-to-weight characteristics, critical for maintaining suspension performance and ensuring wheels can withstand the lateral forces encountered during aggressive cornering and high-speed runs. Pre-mounting means these wheels are manufactured to exacting tolerances by Fastrax's production facility, eliminating variables that can arise from amateur tyre mounting. Whether you're experiencing tyre wear on existing wheels or seeking a complete matched replacement set, these Fastrax units deliver the performance consistency that distinguishes quality aftermarket components from budget alternatives in the competitive RC short course segment.
