Overview
The FTX Crossbow Mounted Wheels & Tyres represent an essential upgrade and replacement option for owners of the FTX Crossbow 1/10 brushless truggy truck. As a UK RC enthusiast, whether you're running an FTX Crossbow RTR in blue or green, having quality replacement wheels and tyres is crucial for maintaining peak performance on the track or in the dirt. These mounted wheel and tyre sets are engineered specifically for the Crossbow platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility without any modifications required.
Truggy racing demands wheels and tyres that can handle demanding terrain and aggressive driving styles. The FTX Crossbow Mounted Wheels & Tyres deliver the reliability and performance that serious RC car enthusiasts expect. Whether you're bashing with friends at the weekend, competing in local races, or simply enjoying your RC hobby, having spare mounted wheels ensures you can keep your Crossbow running without downtime. Worn tyres or damaged wheels are one of the quickest ways to slow your RC truggy, making these replacement sets an economical choice for any serious RC car owner in the UK.
Ready to run RC vehicles like the FTX Crossbow are popular choices for good reason, and investing in genuine OEM replacement wheels and tyres keeps your truck performing at its best. RC Model Shop stocks authentic FTX parts, so you can be confident you're getting the genuine article that will last and perform exactly as designed by the manufacturer.
Key Features
- Scale 1/10 Truggy Class Design — These wheels and tyres are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale truggy racing, providing the perfect balance of grip, durability and speed that this class demands. The truggy category represents one of the most exciting and challenging forms of RC motorsport, requiring specialist wheels and tyres designed from the ground up for this purpose.
- Stadium Truck Compatible — The mounted wheel sets work for both truggy and stadium truck racing configurations, making them incredibly versatile for different racing disciplines. This dual-purpose design means you get maximum value from your investment, as you can switch between different racing styles without needing separate wheel sets.
- Front and Rear Positioning — The package includes wheels and tyres suitable for both front and rear axles, providing a complete tyre solution rather than just a partial set. This comprehensive approach ensures balanced handling and consistent performance across both ends of your Crossbow.
- Pair Package — You receive two complete mounted wheel and tyre assemblies in this package, which is ideal for keeping one set as spares whilst using the other, or rotating between sets as tyres wear during intensive racing sessions. The pair format is the standard option for most RC hobbyists who want to maintain their vehicle without extended downtime.
- FTX Genuine OEM Parts — These are officially manufactured by FTX as part of their Crossbow spares range, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with zero modifications needed. Using authentic manufacturer parts protects your warranty and ensures the engineering integrity of your RC vehicle.
- UK Stock Availability — As an established RC retailer serving the UK community, RC Model Shop keeps these essential spares in stock, ready for next-day delivery across mainland Britain. Never be stuck waiting for parts to arrive from overseas when you can get genuine FTX spares from a trusted local supplier.
Technical Performance
The FTX Crossbow Mounted Wheels & Tyres are engineered with the same attention to detail and quality standards that FTX applies to their complete vehicles. The mounted configuration means the tyres are already fitted to the wheels and balanced, saving you time and ensuring perfect mounting every time. Truggy racing presents unique demands compared to buggy or stadium truck racing—the wider, longer wheelbase and higher ground clearance of a truggy require specialist tyre compounds and tread patterns that cope with high-speed cornering, jumps and rough terrain simultaneously. FTX has designed these wheels and tyres to deliver the grip needed for acceleration and braking whilst maintaining the durability required for extended racing sessions. The wheel design balances lightweight construction with sufficient strength to handle the forces generated by brushless motor power in a 1/10 scale platform. Whether you're racing on clay, asphalt, carpet or mixed surfaces at your local track, these mounted sets provide the foundation for consistent lap times and reliable performance. The pair format allows competitive racers to rotate between sets, extending the life of each tyre set by allowing them to cool between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX Crossbow models are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These mounted wheels and tyres are officially compatible with both the FTX5490BL (FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy Truck RTR in Blue) and the FTX5490GN (FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy Truck RTR in Green). If you own either of these ready to run models, these spares will fit perfectly without any modifications.
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, these FTX OEM wheels and tyres are suitable for RC enthusiasts at any level. Beginners benefit from having official manufacturer spares that are guaranteed to fit, whilst experienced racers appreciate having spare sets available for rotation and competition use. They are not specialist race-only components—they are the standard equipment fitted to the Crossbow RTR models.
- What scale are these wheels and tyres? — These are 1/10 scale wheels and tyres, matching the scale of the FTX Crossbow truggy truck. Do not attempt to fit them to larger or smaller vehicles, as they will not provide the correct handling or performance characteristics.
- Why buy replacement mounted wheels instead of just tyres? — Pre-mounted wheels and tyres eliminate the need for specialist wheel balancing equipment and save time during track days or race meetings. They also ensure consistent fitment and eliminate the risk of incorrect tyre mounting. For most hobbyists, mounted sets are more convenient and cost-effective than purchasing wheels and tyres separately.
- Can I use these on other RC vehicles besides the Crossbow? — These wheels and tyres are specifically engineered for the FTX Crossbow platform. Whilst you might physically fit them to other vehicles, they are not officially compatible or recommended for use on non-Crossbow models. Always use spares that match your vehicle's specifications.
- How often will I need replacement wheels and tyres? — Tyre wear depends on your driving style, surface conditions and intensity of use. Weekend bashers might go months between replacements, whilst competitive racers might rotate sets weekly. By keeping spare mounted sets available, you eliminate the concern about tyre wear limiting your track time.
