Overview
The FTX Vantage Rear Micro Block Tyre Mounted Split Spoke is a premium replacement wheel and tyre set specifically engineered for the FTX Vantage 2.0 1/10 brushless buggy. If you're looking for high-quality RC buggy tyres in the UK that deliver exceptional grip and durability on various terrain, this is an excellent choice for enthusiasts who demand reliable performance. These rear tyres are pre-mounted on split spoke wheels, meaning they arrive ready to bolt straight onto your buggy without additional assembly or balancing. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or dedicated hobbyist, upgrading to fresh rubber is one of the most impactful modifications you can make to improve handling, traction and overall driving experience.
FTX has built a strong reputation in the RC community for producing affordable yet dependable products that rival premium brands. The Vantage platform is their flagship 1/10 buggy, and FTX continues to support it with comprehensive spare parts and upgrade options. These rear tyres feature a micro block tread pattern specifically designed to provide consistent grip across multiple surface types, from grass and dirt to astroturf and clay. The split spoke wheel design reduces unsprung weight while maintaining excellent rigidity, a key consideration in modern buggy racing and recreational driving.
Available now in the UK through RC Model Shop, these genuine FTX components give you confidence that you're buying authentic OEM spares that will fit perfectly and perform reliably. Whether you need a replacement set after wear, or you're building a second set of wheels for different track conditions, this is a trusted option that serious RC enthusiasts choose.
Key Features
- Micro Block Tread Pattern — The tread design features small, densely-packed blocks that provide excellent edge grip and consistent traction across varied surfaces, ensuring predictable handling whether you're driving on grass, dirt, loose gravel or prepared track surfaces.
- Pre-Mounted and Ready to Fit — These tyres arrive already glued and mounted onto the wheels, eliminating the need for tricky tyre fitting, gluing and waiting for adhesive to cure, so you can get driving immediately after installation.
- Split Spoke Wheel Design — The distinctive split spoke pattern reduces unsprung mass while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for demanding off-road driving, which improves suspension response and handling precision.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — Standard 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with the FTX Vantage 2.0 and other buggies with matching hub specifications, allowing quick and straightforward wheel changes.
- Pair of Rear Wheels — This package contains two complete rear wheels with tyres, providing everything you need to replace both rear wheels in a single purchase.
- Black Colour — The classic black finish complements most buggy colour schemes and bodyshells, maintaining an aggressive, professional appearance.
- Genuine FTX OEM Component — Manufactured by FTX as official spare parts, these wheels and tyres are engineered to exact specifications for perfect fitment and performance on Vantage buggies.
Technical Performance
These rear wheels and tyres represent the culmination of FTX's experience in producing reliable 1/10 scale buggy components. The micro block tread pattern has been carefully engineered to deliver consistent, predictable traction across the diverse range of surfaces that UK RC enthusiasts encounter, whether on natural grass tracks, prepared dirt circuits, or indoor carpet venues. The split spoke wheel design is not merely aesthetic—it serves a functional purpose by reducing the rotational mass of the wheel assembly, which allows the suspension to respond more quickly and precisely to track undulations and changes in surface texture. This weight reduction improves steering response and reduces the energy required to accelerate, resulting in noticeably better handling characteristics. The 2.2-inch wheel diameter is optimally sized for 1/10 buggy platforms, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance and stability. The 12mm hex connection is the industry standard for this scale, ensuring absolute compatibility with the FTX Vantage 2.0 and other contemporary buggies. The tyres have been compound-formulated to resist excessive wear whilst maintaining grip across temperature variations common during extended driving sessions. Whether you're driving competitively or recreationally, these wheels and tyres will provide the dependable performance and durability that serious RC car enthusiasts expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for all RC buggy driving styles? — Yes, the micro block tread pattern is versatile and performs well across multiple driving styles, from competitive racing to recreational bashing. However, as these are specifically the rear wheels, you'll need separate front tyres to complete your setup. The balanced design makes them ideal for drivers who use different venues without constantly changing tyres.
- Will these fit my FTX buggy? — These rear wheels are specifically engineered for the FTX Vantage 2.0 1/10 brushless buggy and any other FTX or aftermarket buggies that use standard 12mm hex hubs. Before purchasing, verify that your buggy uses 12mm hex fittings. The 2.2-inch wheel diameter is standard for 1/10 buggies, so they will fit most vehicles in this class.
- How often should I replace my RC buggy tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving frequency, surface conditions and driving style. Competitive drivers on abrasive surfaces may need replacements every few months, while recreational drivers might get 6-12 months of use. When you notice reduced grip, visible wear on the tread blocks, or the tyres becoming hardened, it's time to invest in a fresh set. Having a spare set of pre-mounted wheels means you can keep driving while one set is being serviced or refreshed.
- What is the difference between micro block and other tread patterns? — Micro block tyres feature small, densely-packed tread blocks that provide superior edge grip and consistent traction, particularly on loose or variable surfaces. In contrast, larger block or slick tyres are better suited to specific conditions: slicks for smooth, prepared tracks, and larger blocks for extremely loose or rocky terrain. The micro block design chosen for these Vantage tyres represents an excellent all-round compromise for drivers who don't want to change tyres frequently.
- Can I use these front and rear? — These are specifically rear wheels. Most buggies require different tyre compounds and widths for front and rear to optimise handling balance. Using rear tyres on the front would alter your buggy's steering response and could compromise performance and safety.
- Are these pre-glued or will I need to glue them myself? — These tyres arrive pre-mounted and glued onto the wheels, ready for immediate installation. You will not need to perform any tyre fitting or adhesive work, which saves time and ensures professional fitment that matches factory standards.
