Key Features
- Super Soft Competition Compound — The rubber formulation in these tyres is engineered specifically for maximum grip and traction, offering significantly better cornering performance and braking response than harder standard tyres, which is why serious competitors choose competition-grade rubber for racing situations.
- Pre-Installed Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre comes with a foam insert already fitted, eliminating the need to purchase inserts separately and ensuring that the inserts are properly installed for optimal performance and consistency across all four wheels.
- Set of Four Tyres — You receive a complete four-tyre set, providing full coverage for your 1/10 scale RC vehicle and ensuring matched performance across all wheels for balanced handling characteristics.
- FTX Outback Mini X Compatibility — These tyres are specifically engineered to fit the FTX Outback Mini X platform, ensuring perfect fitment without modifications and guaranteed compatibility with your vehicle's suspension and steering geometry.
- Competition-Ready Performance — These tyres are purpose-built for racing applications, delivering the kind of predictable, responsive handling that competition drivers need to achieve consistent lap times and competitive performance at UK RC tracks.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Mini X Super Soft Competition Tyres are engineered to the highest standards expected in competitive 1/10 scale RC racing. The super soft rubber compound offers significantly improved grip over standard tyres, providing the traction necessary for aggressive cornering, rapid acceleration, and confident braking on both asphalt and off-road surfaces. The pre-installed foam inserts are a critical component of the tyre assembly, providing structural support to the rubber sidewalls and helping to maintain tyre shape under the high lateral forces experienced during competition driving. The insert prevents tyre deformation that would otherwise result in inconsistent handling and unpredictable steering response. By providing a complete tyre-and-insert package, FTX has removed any variables that might affect performance consistency. Every set is built to identical specifications, meaning you can be confident that both front and rear tyres will deliver matching performance characteristics. This is particularly important in competitive RC racing, where even small variations in tyre grip can translate to lost tenths of a second per lap. The engineering approach taken by FTX demonstrates a clear understanding of what competition drivers need: reliability, consistency, and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes super soft tyres better for competition racing? — Super soft competition tyres use a rubber formulation that offers maximum grip compared to standard or medium-hardness tyres. This increased traction translates directly into better cornering speeds, shorter braking distances, and more responsive steering inputs. For RC racing in the UK, competition tyres can make the difference between finishing on the podium and finishing mid-pack.
- Are foam inserts really necessary? — Yes. Foam inserts are essential for maintaining tyre shape and performance during high-speed driving. Without inserts, the tyre sidewalls flex excessively under cornering forces, causing the tyre to deform and resulting in unpredictable handling and loss of grip. The pre-installed inserts in this set eliminate this variable and ensure consistent performance lap after lap.
- Will these tyres fit my FTX Outback Mini X? — These tyres are specifically designed for the FTX Outback Mini X platform and will fit perfectly without any modifications required. FTX has engineered these as direct replacements or upgrades for the standard tyres supplied with the vehicle.
- How long do competition tyres last? — The lifespan of competition tyres depends heavily on driving intensity, track surface, and maintenance. High-grip competition tyres typically wear faster than harder standard compounds because the rubber is softer and more aggressive. Expect them to last several racing seasons with moderate use, or several months with heavy competitive use at UK RC tracks.
- Can I use these tyres for bashing or only racing? — While these tyres are engineered for competition, they work perfectly well for recreational bashing and outdoor driving. The superior grip makes your vehicle more fun and easier to control in any driving situation, though you may experience slightly faster wear on rough terrain compared to harder tyre compounds.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are competition-grade tyres designed for experienced drivers seeking maximum performance. Beginners will certainly benefit from the improved grip, but entry-level drivers may find standard or medium-hardness tyres more forgiving and longer-lasting. However, if you're committed to improving your RC driving skills, competition tyres will help you progress faster by providing better feedback and more responsive handling.
