- Granite-Textured Tyre Design — The realistic tread pattern mimics genuine off-road rock crawler tyres, delivering authentic scale detail whilst also providing excellent traction across various surfaces including loose gravel, sand, and rocky terrain.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax Granite 2.2 wheel stands out in the 1/10 scale crawler market for its combination of authentic aesthetics and genuine off-road performance. The chrome finish is applied to durable plastic wheels that resist cracking and splitting even when your crawler tackles aggressive obstacles or heavy impacts. The granite-textured rubber tyre compound provides superior grip compared to smooth tyres, essential when ascending steep inclines or traversing loose surfaces. The 140mm overall diameter is precisely calculated to maintain scale correctness whilst providing adequate ground clearance for 1/10 scale chassis designs. The engineering ensures that weight distribution remains balanced across the crawler's wheelbase, preventing traction loss or handling instability. Whether you're running your FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR, FTX Kanyon Mountain Rescue crawler, FTX Mauler 2.0 in red or yellow variants, or another compatible 1/10 scale crawler, these wheels integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension and drivetrain. The 12mm hex design is universally compatible with standard 1/10 scale wheel hubs, eliminating adaptor requirements and ensuring direct fitment. Many RC crawler enthusiasts in the UK upgrade to these wheels specifically because they dramatically improve the visual appearance of their models whilst simultaneously enhancing off-road traction and durability compared to basic stock tyres.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my specific 1/10 scale RC crawler model? — The Fastrax Granite wheels with 12mm hex connection are confirmed compatible with multiple crawler platforms including the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler, FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR, FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR models in red and yellow finishes, and other standard 1/10 scale rock crawlers using 12mm hex hubs. Always verify your model's wheel hub size before ordering, but if your crawler uses the industry-standard 12mm hex connection, these wheels will fit perfectly.
- What is the difference between these Fastrax wheels and budget alternatives available online? — Fastrax wheels are engineered specifically for rock crawler applications and feature premium materials, proper weight distribution, and realistic tread patterns that deliver both aesthetic appeal and genuine performance advantages. Budget alternatives often use thinner plastic that cracks easily or provide minimal traction, whereas these Fastrax wheels are designed to withstand the impacts and stresses of serious crawler use, making them a worthwhile investment that lasts through countless sessions.
- Will upgrading to these wheels improve my crawler's appearance? — Absolutely—the chrome finish and granite texture transform the look of your crawler dramatically, creating an authentic, detailed appearance that catches attention at RC meets or when displaying your model. Many UK RC enthusiasts upgrade wheels specifically for visual impact, and these Fastrax wheels are among the most visually impressive options available.
- Can I use these wheels if I'm new to rock crawling? — Yes, these are suitable for beginners and experienced crawlers alike. They install using the same 12mm hex system as standard wheels, requiring no special tools or skills. The improved traction actually makes crawling easier for beginners by providing better grip on obstacles.
- Do I need any additional parts to fit these wheels? — No, these wheels come complete with tyres mounted and ready to install onto any 12mm hex compatible 1/10 scale crawler. Simply remove your existing wheels and push these onto the hubs—no adaptors, spacers, or additional hardware required.
