Key Features

• 1/10 Scale Drift-Specific Design — These wheels and tyres are engineered specifically for 1/10 scale RC drifting, meaning every element from the tyre compound to the wheel construction has been optimised for the demands of drift racing and recreational drifting alike. This specialisation ensures superior performance compared to general-purpose wheels.
• Chrome 5-Spoke Wheel Design — The distinctive chrome 5-spoke wheels provide both striking visual appeal and optimised weight distribution for responsive handling during high-speed drifting. The five-spoke design is a proven configuration in the RC drift community, offering the perfect balance between strength and lightweight performance that allows your RC drift car to respond instantly to your control inputs.
• 9mm Offset Configuration — The 9mm offset has been carefully selected to provide the ideal stance and handling characteristics for drift vehicles in the 1/10 class. This offset measurement is critical for achieving the precise weight distribution and turning characteristics that serious drifters seek when dialling in their setups.
• D1 Tyre Compound — Fastrax has formulated the D1 tyre compound to deliver consistent grip and predictable behaviour across a range of track surfaces and conditions. This makes the D1 compound an excellent choice for both beginners learning the fundamentals of RC drifting and experienced pilots pushing the limits of what's possible with their machines.
• 26mm Wheel Width — The 26mm width provides a solid contact patch with the track surface whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for responsive RC drift racing. This width is ideal for 1/10 scale drift vehicles and ensures your RC car stays planted through corners and transitions.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — These wheels use the industry-standard 12mm hex fitting system, which is compatible with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC vehicles, including popular models from leading manufacturers. This universal fitment means you can upgrade your existing RC car without requiring any additional adapters or modifications.
• Front and Rear Positioning — The wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions on your RC drift car, providing complete consistency across the four corners of your vehicle and ensuring predictable handling throughout your drifting sessions.
• Complete Four-Wheel Set — You receive all four wheels you need in a single purchase, eliminating the need for multiple orders and ensuring perfect matching across your entire vehicle setup. This eliminates any inconsistency that might occur if sourcing wheels individually.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/10 (4) Drift D1 Tyre with 9mm 5-Spoke Wheel represents a serious investment in your RC drift racing capability. The engineering behind these components demonstrates Fastrax's deep understanding of what makes RC drift cars perform at their best. The 1.9-inch diameter specification is the industry standard for 1/10 scale drift vehicles, providing the correct scaling for authentic handling and performance characteristics. The wheel diameter, combined with the 26mm width and 9mm offset, creates a chassis geometry that delivers predictable, responsive handling when you're sliding your RC car through corners and executing complex drift manoeuvres. The D1 tyre compound has been developed through extensive testing on tracks across Europe, and it delivers consistent performance whether you're drifting indoors on a smooth gymnasium floor or outdoors on tarmac surfaces. The chrome finish on the 5-spoke wheels not only catches the eye but also provides robust protection against the inevitable impacts and abrasions that come with RC racing. The lightweight construction of the wheels ensures that unsprung weight is minimised, allowing your suspension system to work more effectively and your RC car to respond more immediately to throttle and steering inputs. For RC car UK enthusiasts serious about drift racing, these wheels and tyres represent a genuine performance upgrade that will be immediately noticeable in how your vehicle handles.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels compatible with my RC drift car? — These 1/10 scale wheels feature the industry-standard 12mm hex fitting, making them compatible with the vast majority of 1/10 RC vehicles including Traxxas, Team Associated, Yokomo and other leading drift car platforms. As long as your RC car uses a 12mm hex fitting, these wheels will fit perfectly. We recommend verifying your vehicle's specifications if you're unsure, and our experienced team at RC Model Shop are always happy to confirm compatibility before you purchase.
• What is the D1 tyre compound and why does it matter? — The D1 is Fastrax's drift-specific tyre compound, engineered to provide the right balance of grip and slip for RC drifting. Unlike off-road or on-road racing tyres, drift tyres are formulated to allow controlled sliding whilst maintaining enough grip to keep your RC car responsive. The D1 compound has been tested extensively and delivers consistent performance across different track surfaces, making it an excellent choice for both practising drifting techniques and competitive drifting events.
• What does the 9mm offset mean and is it right for my RC drift car? — The offset refers to the distance from the wheel's mounting surface to the wheel's centreline, measured in millimetres. A 9mm offset is specifically designed for 1/10 scale drift vehicles and creates the ideal stance and handling geometry for drift racing. This offset affects how your RC car sits on its suspension and how weight is distributed during cornering. If you're building a new drift car or upgrading an existing setup, the 9mm offset is the standard choice for 1/10 scale platforms.
• Why should I upgrade to these wheels and tyres? — If you're currently running general-purpose wheels or tyres designed for other types of RC racing, upgrading to dedicated drift wheels and tyres will make an immediate and noticeable difference in how your RC car handles. The specialised D1 tyre compound provides more predictable behaviour during drifting, the chrome 5-spoke wheels are lighter than many alternatives, and the precise 9mm offset is optimised for drift vehicles. The visual upgrade from the chrome finish is a bonus that makes your RC car look as professional as it performs.
• Are these wheels durable enough for regular use? — Yes, Fastrax designs and manufactures these wheels to withstand the rigours of regular RC drifting sessions. The 5-spoke design provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and the wheel diameter and width are proven specifications used by RC drifters worldwide. The D1 tyres are formulated for durability as well as performance, meaning you'll get many hours of drifting enjoyment from this set before tyre wear becomes significant enough to warrant replacement.
• What is the wheel diameter and how does it compare to other options? — The wheel diameter is 1.9 inches, which is the industry-standard size for 1/10 scale RC drift vehicles. This diameter ensures proper scaling with your RC car's suspension geometry and provides the correct ground clearance and handling characteristics. If you're comparing different wheels, the 1.9-inch size is what you want for authentic 1/10 scale drift racing performance.
