• 12mm Hex Fitment — Universal compatibility with most 1/10 scale monster trucks ensures these wheels work with Traxxas, Team Losi, Team Associated, and countless other major RC brands available in the UK market, making them a truly versatile upgrade option.
• 1/2 Inch Offset — This offset measurement is specifically optimised for 2WD front or 4WD front and rear configurations, allowing you to dial in the perfect track width and handling characteristics for your driving style and terrain.
• Pre-Mounted Tyres — The wheels come pre-mounted with high-quality tyres measuring 119.5mm in diameter and 69.4mm in width, saving you the hassle of sourcing and fitting tyres separately and ensuring immediate out-of-the-box usability.
• Sold as Pair — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, making this purchase suitable for front axle upgrades or as a complete 4WD wheel set replacement, depending on your configuration needs.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax MT Stinger Mount wheels represent a careful balance between performance engineering and practical value. The 119.5mm tyre diameter provides excellent ground clearance and proportional sizing for 1/10 scale monster trucks, whilst the 69.4mm width ensures adequate contact patch for traction without creating excessive rolling resistance. The 6-spoke chrome design is more than cosmetic—the spoke geometry distributes load effectively across the wheel structure, reducing stress concentration and improving durability during aggressive driving. Chrome plating provides both corrosion resistance and visual durability, maintaining the professional appearance of your RC car UK setup even after extensive use and frequent cleaning. The 1/2 inch offset is a critical specification that affects how the wheels sit relative to your truck's suspension and body, influencing everything from handling response to visual stance. For 4WD monster trucks, this offset creates optimal weight distribution and suspension geometry, whilst for 2WD front applications it ensures proper Ackermann steering geometry. The pre-mounted configuration means these tyres are already balanced and trued on the wheels, eliminating the common issue of vibration that can occur with separately installed tyres. Whether you're running these on clay tracks, grass terrain, or tarmac surfaces, the tyre compound has been formulated to deliver consistent grip across varied conditions typical of UK RC racing and bashing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these wheels fit my 1/10 monster truck? — Yes, provided your truck features a 12mm hex hub and 5mm axle, which covers the vast majority of 1/10 scale monster trucks on the market including Traxxas models, Team Losi vehicles, and Team Associated platforms. Check your truck's specifications to confirm hex size and axle diameter before purchasing.
• What is the difference between 0 inch and 1/2 inch offset wheels? — The 0 inch offset is designed specifically for 2WD rear applications where wheel geometry requires a different track width, whilst the 1/2 inch offset found on these Stinger Mounts is optimised for 2WD front and 4WD front and rear positions. Offset affects suspension geometry, handling balance, and the visual stance of your truck, so choosing the correct offset for your intended position is important for optimal performance.
• Are these tyres suitable for different terrains? — The pre-mounted Stinger tyres are formulated as an all-purpose compound suitable for various terrain types including clay, grass, and mixed surfaces typical of UK RC tracks and driving locations. For specialised racing on specific surfaces, you may want to explore alternative tyre compounds, but for general purpose bashing and recreational driving, these tyres perform admirably.
• Do I need any special tools to install these wheels? — Installation is straightforward—you'll need only a 2.5mm or 3mm hex key (Allen key) to remove your existing wheels and install these new Stinger Mounts. No special tools or adapters are required provided your truck uses standard 12mm hex hubs.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre life depends entirely on your driving intensity and terrain. Casual bashers might get 20-30 hours of driving from a set, whilst competitive racers on abrasive clay might need replacement sooner. The modular design means you can replace just the tyre if the wheel structure remains sound, offering good value across the product's lifespan.
• Will these wheels improve my truck's handling? — Upgrading to quality aftermarket wheels can improve handling by ensuring true rolling, reducing vibration, and providing the correct offset geometry for your suspension setup. If your current wheels are worn or damaged, the improvement will be noticeable; if your current wheels are already quality units, the improvement will be more subtle but still appreciated by serious drivers.
