Key Features

• Genuine FTX Grappler Tyre Design — These tyres feature the proven Grappler tread pattern that has been engineered to deliver aggressive grip and reliable traction on uneven terrain. The specific tread block design helps channel loose material away from the contact patch, maintaining consistent grip through turns and over obstacles.
• Pre-Mounted on Wheels — The tyres come already mounted on wheels, saving you the time and effort of mounting and balancing them yourself. This means you can have your RC crawler ready to run with fresh rubber in minutes rather than spending time in the workshop.
• Pair (Two Wheels) — This package includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing you with either a full front or rear set, or allowing you to rotate worn tyres if you choose to replace individual pairs throughout your vehicle's lifespan.
• Perfect Compatibility — Specifically engineered to fit the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR 1:10 Trail Crawler (both Red FTX5473R and Grey FTX5473GY models), ensuring a perfect match without any modification or compromise on fitment.
• Enhanced Off-Road Performance — The Grappler tyre compound and tread pattern work together to provide improved traction on rocky, loose, and uneven surfaces. This translates to better climbing ability, improved braking performance, and more predictable handling on challenging terrain.
• OEM Quality Spare Part — As an official FTX spare part, these tyres meet the same quality standards as the original equipment fitted to new vehicles, guaranteeing consistency and reliability.
• Essential Maintenance Item — RC tyres naturally wear with use, and having quality replacement options ensures your vehicle continues to perform optimally. These Grappler tyres help you maintain the highest levels of traction and control throughout your vehicle's operational life.

Technical Performance

The FTX Trooper Grappler Tyre Mounted One Wheel (Pair) represents a crucial component in maintaining the performance of your 1/10 scale RC crawler. The Grappler tyre profile has been specifically engineered through FTX's development process to deliver the optimal balance of grip, durability, and handling characteristics on the varied terrain that UK RC enthusiasts encounter. The tyre compound is formulated to maintain its properties across a range of temperatures and surface conditions, from cold winter trails to dusty summer terrain. The pre-mounted configuration means that the wheels and tyres have been assembled and balanced as a complete unit at the factory, eliminating the variables that can occur with field assembly. This ensures that your FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR crawler will deliver consistent performance from the moment you fit these replacement wheels. The tread pattern design creates multiple contact points that work together to maximise grip on challenging surfaces whilst still allowing the tyre to shed mud and loose material effectively. For 1/10 scale trail crawlers operating in the UK RC community, maintaining a set of quality replacement tyres like these Grappler units is part of responsible vehicle ownership and ensures you're always ready for your next off-road adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC Trooper models are these tyres compatible with? — These Grappler tyres are specifically designed for the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR 1:10 Trail Crawler, and are compatible with both the Red (FTX5473R) and Grey (FTX5473GY) versions of this popular 1/10 scale crawler.
• Why would I need replacement tyres for my RC crawler? — RC tyres wear down with use through a combination of friction, impacts on hard terrain, and exposure to various ground surfaces. After extensive trail use, your original tyres may become worn smooth, which significantly reduces traction and control. Replacing them with fresh Grappler tyres restores optimal grip and handling characteristics, making your crawler safer and more enjoyable to operate.
• Do these tyres come pre-mounted? — Yes, these tyres arrive already mounted on wheels as a complete assembly. This saves you considerable time compared to purchasing separate tyres and wheels, as there is no mounting or balancing required before use.
• How many wheels are included in this package? — This package includes a pair (two) complete wheel and tyre assemblies, meaning you have enough for either the front or rear axle of your FTX Trooper, or you can use them as rotating spares across your fleet of RC crawlers.
• What is the difference between Grappler tyres and other FTX tyre options? — The Grappler tyre profile is specifically engineered for trail and crawler applications, featuring an aggressive tread pattern designed to maximise grip on rocky and uneven terrain. This makes them particularly suited to the FTX Trooper's intended purpose as a dedicated 1/10 scale trail crawler, rather than a general-purpose tyre suited to multiple vehicle types.
• Can I use these tyres on other FTX models? — These tyres are engineered specifically for the FTX Outback Trooper 4x4 RTR. While FTX produces many different crawler and off-road models, you should verify wheel and tyre compatibility with the FTX spares catalogue or consult the manufacturer before fitting these to alternative models, as wheel sizes and fitment specifications vary across the FTX range.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres? — The lifespan of your tyres depends entirely on your usage patterns. Frequent trail driving on rocky terrain will wear tyres faster than casual weekend use on grass. As a general guideline, most RC enthusiasts replace their tyres when the tread becomes noticeably worn smooth or if the rubber hardens due to age and UV exposure. Keeping spare sets available ensures you're never caught out mid-session.
• Are these genuine OEM parts? — Yes, these are official FTX spare parts manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the original equipment fitted to new FTX Trooper vehicles. Purchasing genuine parts ensures compatibility and maintains your vehicle's performance and warranty status.
