Key Features
- 8-Spoke Beadlock Design — The distinctive 8-spoke beadlock wheel pattern provides secure bead retention and prevents tyre slip during aggressive cornering and high-speed runs, whilst the beadlock mechanism ensures your tyres stay precisely mounted even under extreme racing conditions.
- 1/10 Scale Compatibility — Engineered specifically for 1/10 scale RC cars, these wheels fit a wide range of FTX models and other compatible platforms, making them a versatile upgrade suitable for rock crawlers, buggies, trucks and other off-road variants.

- Professional Grade Construction — FTX has engineered these wheels to withstand the rigorous demands of competitive RC driving and challenging terrain, with quality materials and precise manufacturing ensuring long service life and consistent performance.
- Enhanced Ground Grip — The pre-mounted tyres provide optimised traction and surface contact, crucial for maintaining control during high-speed runs, technical rock crawling sections and variable terrain driving.
- Aggressive Styling — The bold 8-spoke beadlock aesthetic gives any 1/10 scale RC vehicle a more aggressive, competition-focused appearance that reflects genuine performance engineering.
- Pair Package — You receive two pre-mounted wheels, providing a complete ready-to-install upgrade for either a pair of wheels or serving as a convenient spare set for serious drivers.
Technical Performance
These FTX TEXAN mounted wheels represent professional-grade engineering designed to handle the demands of modern 1/10 scale RC driving. The 8-spoke beadlock configuration is a proven design used extensively in competitive RC racing and extreme driving applications because it provides superior tyre retention without the risk of bead separation during cornering or when traversing challenging terrain. The pre-mounted construction means the wheels and tyres have been assembled by FTX engineering to precise tolerances, ensuring balanced rolling characteristics and optimal weight distribution. The beadlock mechanism works by physically clamping the tyre bead between the wheel rim and an external ring, preventing any slippage or movement that could compromise handling or cause vibration. This is particularly important for 1/10 scale RC vehicles which can reach substantial speeds and encounter aggressive driving conditions where inferior wheel retention could result in tyre failure or loss of vehicle control. The FTX TEXAN set demonstrates excellent quality control in both wheel and tyre manufacture, with consistent fitment and performance across the pair. Whether you're upgrading an existing RC vehicle or building a new platform, these pre-mounted wheels eliminate variables in the installation process and get you on the track or trail with confidence that your wheels are properly assembled and ready for action.
