Overview

The Fastrax 1:10 SC Jigsaw Mounted 5-Spoke Black wheels represent an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade or replace their short course truck wheels. Whether you're a seasoned basher enjoying weekend runs at your local track or someone discovering the world of RC off-road racing for the first time, these purpose-built wheels deliver the performance and durability you need. Specifically designed for 1:10 scale short course trucks, these wheels have earned their reputation as a go-to upgrade component across the RC community.

Short course truck racing has become increasingly popular in the UK, with clubs and enthusiasts embracing the speed and agility these vehicles offer. The Jigsaw 5-spoke design provides both aesthetic appeal and functional engineering, offering a modern look that complements contemporary RC truck designs. Whether you're running a Traxxas Slash 2WD, Traxxas Slash 4x4, Traxxas Blitz, or similar 1:10 short course platforms, these wheels will integrate seamlessly into your setup and deliver reliable performance on track or off-road terrain. The black finish provides a professional appearance that works well with any body colour or paint scheme you might choose for your RC car UK project.

These wheels come as a pair, so you're receiving both units needed for a complete axle assembly. This is an important consideration when ordering, as it ensures you have matching wheels across your vehicle's width. The robust construction and precise manufacturing tolerances mean these wheels will maintain their performance characteristics through extended use, making them a worthwhile investment for any RC enthusiast serious about their hobby.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Jigsaw 5-spoke wheels represent serious engineering designed specifically for the demands of 1:10 short course racing. The 110.5mm diameter combined with the 43mm width creates the perfect platform for short course tyres, providing adequate ground clearance whilst maintaining the correct scaling proportions that make 1:10 scale vehicles so satisfying to drive. The 12mm hex fitment represents the industry standard for this vehicle class, meaning these wheels will integrate seamlessly with your existing servo saver, CVD driveshafts, and suspension geometry without requiring any modification or special tooling. The wheel offset specification, noted as TBC on the manufacturer page, should be verified during installation to ensure your vehicle maintains correct track geometry and achieves optimal handling balance. The black finish is applied to robust construction that withstands repeated impacts during off-road driving, track racing, and bashful weekend sessions. These wheels are particularly well-suited to running on tarmac courses as well as natural terrain, making them versatile enough for various RC driving environments. Whether you're running brushless RC motor setups at high speeds or exploring technical courses with precision control, these wheels provide the stable platform your short course truck needs. The 5-spoke design minimises unsprung weight, allowing your suspension to respond more quickly to terrain changes and maintain better traction during cornering. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance in equal measure, these wheels deliver both without compromising on durability or appearance.
