Overview
The FTX Outback Hi-Rock Wheels in Black represent an essential upgrade and replacement option for enthusiasts of 1/10 scale rock crawling. These precision-engineered wheels are specifically designed to complement the FTX Outback Hi-Rock 4x4 RTR 1/10 Trail Rock Crawler, making them an ideal choice for anyone serious about off-road RC performance in the UK. Whether you're a seasoned RC car competitor, a weekend basher exploring challenging terrain, or someone just discovering the world of RC rock crawlers, these wheels deliver the authentic trail experience that defines modern 4x4 crawling.
Rock crawling has become one of the most popular disciplines within the RC hobby, and quality wheels are absolutely fundamental to success. The FTX Outback Hi-Rock Wheels are engineered to provide the grip, durability and visual authenticity that serious crawlers demand. Available as a pair, these wheels offer exceptional value and are ready to transform your FTX Outback Hi-Rock setup with improved traction and a more realistic appearance on the trail. For anyone operating an RC crawler in the UK, having spare or replacement wheels is a practical necessity, and these FTX units represent a cost-effective solution backed by the manufacturer's engineering expertise.
FTX has established itself as a recognised manufacturer of quality RC vehicles and components, and these wheels exemplify their commitment to delivering dependable performance at accessible price points. The 1.9-inch diameter and 12mm hex fitting make these wheels universally compatible with a wide range of 1/10 scale rock crawlers, whilst their plastic construction ensures they're lightweight yet resilient enough for sustained off-road use.
Key Features
- 1.9-inch Wheel Diameter — The 1.9-inch size is the industry standard for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, providing the optimal balance between ground clearance and proportional appearance that defines authentic trail crawling aesthetics. This diameter ensures your FTX Outback Hi-Rock maintains proper ride height and approach angles essential for navigating challenging rock formations and obstacles.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The standard 12mm hex connection is universally compatible with most 1/10 scale RC crawlers, making these wheels an exceptionally versatile upgrade option. This proven fitting system has become the industry standard precisely because it offers reliability and interchangeability across multiple platforms and manufacturers.
- Durable Plastic Construction — The wheels are manufactured from quality plastic material that balances weight savings with structural integrity. Plastic construction provides the resilience needed for repeated impacts against rocks and obstacles whilst keeping unsprung weight to a minimum, which directly improves suspension response and traction.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These wheels are designed to work on both front and rear axles, eliminating the need to purchase different wheel sets for different positions. This standardised approach simplifies parts management and reduces overall costs for RC enthusiasts maintaining multiple crawlers or rotational wheel sets.
- Authentic Black Finish — The matt black colour provides a realistic, scale-appropriate appearance that complements modern RC crawler bodywork and chassis designs. The finish is durable and resists fading from UV exposure during outdoor use, maintaining visual appeal through extended seasons of trail time.
- Value Pair Pack — These wheels are supplied as a pair, providing two complete wheels ready for installation. This pair format is ideal for replacing a single damaged wheel or upgrading your existing setup, and represents genuine value compared to purchasing individual units.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Hi-Rock Wheels represent a thoughtful engineering solution specifically developed for 1/10 scale rock crawling applications. The 1.9-inch diameter has been universally adopted by manufacturers and enthusiasts because it delivers the ideal compromise between clearance, geometry and visual scale. The 12mm hex fitting is an industry standard that reflects decades of RC design evolution, ensuring reliability and longevity through thousands of impacts and articulations across rough terrain. Plastic wheel construction, whilst seemingly basic, is actually the preferred material for rock crawling because it absorbs energy more effectively than some rigid alternatives, reducing shock transmission to suspension components and extending their service life. The wheels are rated for use on both front and rear positions, meaning you can rotate sets through your RC fleet or maintain consistent performance across all four contact points. For UK-based RC enthusiasts, these wheels represent the kind of consumable component that should be kept in stock; tyres wear, wheels get damaged navigating rocky environments, and having replacement units immediately available means less downtime between sessions. The paint finish is engineered to resist UV degradation and the wear inherent in regular outdoor use, maintaining that professional appearance that contributes to the overall driving satisfaction of the hobby.
