These mounted wheel and tyre combinations are designed to work seamlessly with any 1/8 off-road buggy that features 17mm hex adaptors, ensuring broad compatibility across numerous manufacturers' platforms.

The black chrome finish resists weathering and maintains its lustrous appearance even after extended use in demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my 1/8 scale RC buggy? — These wheels are designed to work with all 1/8 off-road buggy applications featuring 17mm hex adaptors, which is the industry-standard fitment for this scale. If your buggy has 17mm hex sockets on the front and rear hubs, these wheels will bolt on directly without modification. If you are unsure about your buggy's hex fitment, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team for verification before ordering.
- What is the tyre diameter and how does it affect performance? — The Fastrax Cuboid tyres feature a diameter of 114mm with a width of 44.6mm, dimensions specifically calculated to deliver optimal grip and acceleration balance for 1/8 scale off-road buggies. The 114mm diameter is the established standard for 1/8 buggies and provides the correct gearing relationship with your buggy's transmission, ensuring your motor and battery deliver power efficiently across acceleration, top speed, and handling balance.
- Can I use just one wheel or do I need to buy two sets? — These wheels are sold as a pair, meaning each purchase gives you two complete wheel and tyre assemblies. Many racers purchase multiple pairs to maintain front wheels, rear wheels, and spare sets for competition days. For general recreational use, a single pair may be sufficient depending on whether you want to upgrade both axles or concentrate on either front or rear traction improvement.
- How do these wheels compare to other 1/8 buggy wheel options available in the UK? — The Fastrax Cuboid wheels offer exceptional value combined with proven performance credentials established across the UK RC racing community. The 8-spoke black chrome design provides a balance of lightweight construction and durable finish that compares favourably with premium alternatives, whilst the Cuboid tyre compound delivers reliable grip across diverse terrain types without requiring multiple tyre options for different conditions.
- Are these wheels suitable for racing or just recreational bashing? — The Fastrax Cuboid wheels are equally suited to both competitive racing and recreational bashing. The Cuboid tyre profile delivers the consistency and predictability that racers demand during competitive events, whilst the durable construction and grippy compound make these wheels excellent for weekend bashing sessions across parks, fields, and dirt tracks across the UK.
- Will the black chrome finish last through muddy conditions? — The black chrome plating is specifically designed to resist weathering and corrosion from muddy conditions and damp terrain. Whilst any wheel benefits from basic cleaning after use, the black chrome finish is engineered for durability and will maintain its appearance throughout extended use in challenging UK weather and terrain conditions.
