Technical Performance

These Fastrax wheels and tyres represent a perfect balance of performance engineering and practical value. The 1/18 scale sizing means the overall diameter and width of the tyres are precisely calculated to maintain proper vehicle geometry, suspension angles and handling characteristics. Short course tyres like these feature a specific tread compound formulation designed to maximise grip across the range of surfaces you'll encounter during casual bashing or competitive racing with RC short course trucks. The white wheels provide a strong visual contrast with the tyre sidewalls, making it easy to spot the wheels during high-speed running and providing an attractive appearance in action photographs and video footage. The 12mm hex fitting is a universally recognised standard that has been adopted across the RC industry, meaning these wheels will integrate seamlessly with your ARRMA Mojave Grom and various other small-scale RC platforms. The unglued configuration means you have complete control over the application process, allowing you to use your preferred adhesive and ensure perfect tyre balance before hitting the track. This approach is favoured by serious RC enthusiasts and competitors who want to customise every aspect of their vehicle setup. The engineering quality is evident in the precise fit and finish of both wheels and tyres, with no visible defects or inconsistencies that would compromise performance or durability during extended running sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for beginners and casual RC drivers? — Yes, these Fastrax tyres are perfectly suited for beginners and hobby drivers. The installation process is straightforward once you've applied the tyre glue, and the wheels integrate seamlessly with ARRMA Mojave Grom models which are popular entry-level short course trucks. Even if you're new to the RC hobby, you'll find the 12mm hex fitting easy to work with using standard RC tools.
• Do I need to glue the tyres myself? — Yes, these tyres are supplied unglued and must be glued to the wheels before use. This is a standard practice in the RC hobby and gives you control over the gluing process. Quality RC tyre glue is inexpensive and available from RC retailers like RC Model Shop. Many drivers prefer unglued tyres because it allows them to customise their setup and ensures perfect tyre balance.
• What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These Fastrax wheels are specifically designed for ARRMA Mojave Grom models, including the 1/16 Mojave Grom 223S BLX 4X4 DT in white, teal or black variants, and the Mojave Grom Mega 380 brushed model in red or blue. The 12mm hex fitting also makes them compatible with many other small-scale 1/18 RC short course trucks from various manufacturers.
• What's the difference between these wheels and OEM ARRMA wheels? — Fastrax is an authorised manufacturer of quality replacement and upgrade components for ARRMA vehicles. These wheels offer an alternative aesthetic with the white finish, and being supplied unglued gives you flexibility in your setup process. They meet the same performance standards as OEM components but at competitive pricing. Many RC enthusiasts stock spare sets for race days.
• Will these tyres work on my existing short course truck? — Provided your vehicle uses 12mm hex wheel connectors and is 1/18 scale, these tyres should be compatible. If you're unsure about compatibility, we recommend contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop, who can confirm whether these wheels suit your specific vehicle.
• How long do these tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on how intensively you drive. Casual weekend bashing might see tyres last several months, while competitive racing could consume a set in a few hours of track time. Having spare wheel and tyre sets is standard practice for serious RC racers, which is why this complete four-piece set offers such good value.
