Overview
The FTX Vantage Rear Buggy Tyre Mounted on Wheels is an essential upgrade for your FTX Vantage 1/10 scale off-road buggy. These high-quality rear wheels come pre-mounted with tyres, offering a convenient ready-to-fit solution for RC enthusiasts looking to maintain or upgrade their vehicle's performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher, having quality replacement tyres is crucial for optimal handling and traction on various terrains. This white finish option provides a striking contrast and professional appearance on the track or trail.
FTX is renowned for delivering excellent value without compromising on quality, and these rear buggy wheels are no exception. The pre-mounted design means you won't need to spend hours fitting and balancing tyres — simply install them onto your buggy's rear axle and get back to racing. For anyone operating a brushless RC buggy like the FTX Vantage 2.0, having spare or replacement rear wheels is a smart investment, as rear tyres typically experience significant wear during aggressive driving sessions and competitive racing.
This product is sold as a pair, giving you a complete rear axle setup. The 2.2-inch wheel diameter is specifically engineered to suit the FTX Vantage buggy platform, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance characteristics. UK RC car enthusiasts will appreciate the straightforward, no-nonsense approach to product design that FTX brings to the hobby.

Technical Performance
These rear buggy tyres are engineered to deliver consistent performance across a range of driving conditions commonly encountered by RC enthusiasts. The 2.2-inch diameter provides an ideal balance between ground clearance, traction and rotational mass for competitive off-road buggy racing. The tyre compound and tread pattern are specifically formulated for rear-axle use, where different forces and wear patterns occur compared to the front wheels. The pre-mounted design means the wheels have been factory-balanced and assembled to FTX's quality standards, ensuring smooth, vibration-free operation at high speeds. The 12mm hex drive system is the industry standard for 1/10 scale buggies, providing a secure, positive connection that can handle the stresses of aggressive cornering, acceleration and braking. Whether you're running these tyres on carpet, grass or loose surfaces, the engineering is designed to provide responsive handling characteristics and predictable grip levels. The white finish is achieved through high-quality paint or plastic moulding that resists UV fading and maintains its appearance through countless running sessions in outdoor UK conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these rear wheels compatible with my FTX Vantage buggy? — Yes, these wheels are specifically designed for the FTX Vantage range, including the FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushed Buggy. The 12mm hex fitting and 2.2-inch diameter are standard for this platform. Always check your buggy's documentation to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- Do I need to fit the tyres myself? — No, these wheels come pre-mounted with tyres already fitted and ready to use. You simply need to attach them to your buggy's rear axle using the 12mm hex drive. This saves considerable time compared to mounting and balancing tyres manually.
- What is the wheel diameter and why does it matter? — The 2.2-inch diameter is specifically engineered for the FTX Vantage platform. This size provides the correct ride height, ground clearance and performance characteristics that the buggy was designed around. Using incorrect wheel sizes can affect handling, top speed and overall performance.
- Are these suitable as spare wheels or replacement wheels? — Absolutely. These rear wheels are ideal as spares for competitive racing or casual bashing. Having replacement wheels on hand means less downtime when tyres wear out or get damaged, allowing you to continue enjoying your RC buggy UK hobby without interruption.
- What is the 12mm hex fitting? — The 12mm hex drive is the industry-standard connection system used on modern 1/10 scale RC buggies. It provides a secure mechanical connection between the wheel and the vehicle's axle, offering excellent durability and reliability. This fitting is compatible with most FTX models and many other buggy platforms.
- How often should I replace my rear buggy tyres? — Tyre wear depends on driving intensity, surface types and maintenance. Competitive racers may replace tyres frequently, whilst casual bashers might use the same tyres for extended periods. When you notice reduced grip, visible tread wear or chunking, it's time to consider replacement wheels.
- Can I use these wheels on the front of my buggy? — These wheels are specifically designed and optimised for rear-axle use. FTX produces separate front buggy wheels (the FTX Vantage Front Buggy Tyre Mounted on Wheels) with different characteristics suited to front-axle mounting. Using rear wheels on the front may compromise handling and performance.
