Overview
The FTX Vantage BL 2.0 Rear Stub Tyre Mounted Split Spoke represents an essential upgrade and replacement component for owners of the FTX Vantage BL 2.0 brushless RC car. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your vehicle at peak performance, or someone seeking genuine replacement parts for your brushless RC car, these rear stub tyres deliver the reliability and quality you need. The Vantage BL 2.0 is renowned as a capable and affordable brushless RC vehicle, and keeping it running smoothly requires quality replacement components that match the original specifications.
This product is specifically designed as a rear tyre set, featuring stub tyre compound mounted on distinctive split spoke wheels. Stub tyres are shorter, more durable tyre options that excel in providing consistent traction and longevity during extended running sessions. The split spoke design adds visual appeal whilst maintaining structural integrity, making these wheels a popular choice among RC car enthusiasts who want both function and style. If you own an FTX Vantage BL 2.0 and are looking for replacement rear tyres, or if you're upgrading your vehicle's appearance and performance, this is the genuine part you're searching for.
As an authorised FTX dealer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM parts that ensure compatibility and performance. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying local tracks, a serious competitor, or simply maintaining your RC car collection, having the right replacement tyres on hand is essential for minimising downtime and keeping your vehicle ready for action.
Key Features
- Split Spoke Wheel Design — The distinctive split spoke pattern offers excellent structural support whilst keeping wheel weight minimal, which helps improve acceleration and handling in your RC car. This wheel design is a popular choice among Vantage BL 2.0 owners seeking a balance between durability and performance.
- Stub Tyre Compound — Stub tyres are engineered with a shorter profile and robust rubber compound that resists wear better than standard tyres, providing extended running time before replacement is needed. This makes stub tyres ideal for frequent bashers and competitive drivers who demand reliability.
- Rear Position Application — These tyres are specifically engineered for rear wheel mounting on the Vantage BL 2.0, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal weight distribution. Using the correct tyre position maximises your vehicle's handling balance and traction characteristics.
- OEM FTX Component — As genuine factory parts from FTX, these tyres maintain the exacting standards and specifications of the original Vantage BL 2.0 design. Using authentic replacement parts ensures your brushless RC car performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
- Pair Included — This product contains two tyres (one pair), allowing you to replace both rear wheels in a single purchase. Most bashers keep spare tyre sets on hand to eliminate downtime between running sessions.
Technical Performance
The FTX Vantage BL 2.0 Rear Stub Tyre Mounted Split Spoke set is engineered to provide consistent performance across a variety of terrain and driving conditions. Stub tyres are particularly valued in the RC car community for their durability and predictable traction characteristics, especially during extended running sessions where standard tyres might degrade. The split spoke wheels provide an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which is critical in a brushless RC car where every ounce impacts acceleration and deceleration. The rear-specific design of these tyres takes into account the weight distribution and handling dynamics of the Vantage BL 2.0, ensuring that your vehicle maintains proper balance and stability during cornering, acceleration, and braking. The quality of the rubber compound used in FTX tyres has been proven through thousands of satisfied customers running their vehicles at tracks and off-road locations throughout the UK and beyond. Whether you're upgrading from worn original tyres or simply building a spare set for your car bag, these components represent the same engineering standards that made the Vantage BL 2.0 a popular choice among RC enthusiasts seeking value without compromising on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine FTX parts compatible with my Vantage BL 2.0? — Yes, absolutely. These are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts produced by FTX specifically for the Vantage BL 2.0 platform. They are engineered to the exact specifications required for perfect fitment on the rear axle of your vehicle. Using genuine FTX replacement parts ensures optimal performance and reliability compared to aftermarket alternatives.
- What is the difference between stub tyres and standard tyres? — Stub tyres feature a shorter profile and use a more durable rubber compound compared to standard tyres. This design provides several benefits: they resist wear and puncture damage better during extended running sessions, they deliver more consistent traction over longer periods, and they maintain their grip characteristics longer than standard options. Many UK RC car bashers prefer stub tyres for weekend sessions where durability matters more than outright speed.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — The lifespan of any RC car tyre depends on your running style, terrain, and maintenance. Stub tyres are engineered for longevity, but frequent, aggressive driving on rough surfaces will naturally wear them faster than casual running on smooth surfaces. Most users find that stub tyres last considerably longer than standard tyre options. Keeping tyres clean and checking for debris after each session helps extend their lifespan significantly.
- Can I use these tyres on the front of my Vantage BL 2.0? — These are specifically designed as rear tyres for the Vantage BL 2.0. Whilst they may physically fit the front axle, using them in the incorrect position would affect your vehicle's handling balance and overall performance. For best results, use rear tyres on the rear axle and front tyres (if available) on the front axle to maintain the manufacturer's intended weight distribution and traction characteristics.
- Do these tyres come already mounted on wheels? — Yes, these are pre-mounted tyres on FTX split spoke wheels, ready to fit directly onto your Vantage BL 2.0's rear axle. There is no additional assembly required; simply remove your old rear wheels and install these replacements. This makes them ideal for quick maintenance between running sessions.
- Where can I buy genuine FTX Vantage BL 2.0 spares in the UK? — RC Model Shop is an authorised FTX retailer stocking genuine spare parts for the entire Vantage range. We maintain stock of commonly needed components, including these rear stub tyre sets, ensuring you can source authentic replacements quickly without waiting for special orders.
