Key Features

• Arrow Tread Profile — The Arrow tyre compound and tread pattern has been engineered to provide optimal grip on loose and compacted surfaces commonly found on 1/8 off-road truggy tracks, ensuring predictable handling and confidence through corners.
• 5-Spoke Wheel Design — The lightweight yet rigid 5-spoke construction minimises unsprung weight whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed to handle the forces experienced during aggressive driving and landing jumps.
• 17mm Hex Fitment — The universal 17mm hex adaptor ensures broad compatibility with most 1/8 scale truggy platforms, including popular brands and custom builds, making installation straightforward with standard hex tools.
• 0 Degree Wheel Offset — The neutral offset geometry provides balanced handling characteristics and tracks perfectly on standard 1/8 truggy suspension geometry, without requiring additional setup adjustments.
• Black Finish — The durable black coating resists dirt staining and maintains a clean appearance throughout your driving sessions, whilst also complementing a wide variety of body colours and liveries.
• 145mm Tyre Diameter — This size is optimised for 1/8 truggy scaling and ground clearance, providing the ideal rolling circumference for accurate speedometer readings and responsive vehicle dynamics.
• 64mm Tyre Width — The generous contact patch width distributes your vehicle's weight effectively across varied terrain, improving traction and stability whilst reducing the risk of sinking into soft surfaces.
• Sold as Pair — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, covering both front and rear axles, so you have everything needed for a full setup in one purchase.
• Pre-Mounted Assembly — Both tyres arrive mounted on the wheels and balanced, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting and wheel balancing procedures, saving you time and frustration.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1/8 Truggy Arrow MTD wheel and tyre set represents a carefully engineered solution for serious 1/8 off-road truggy racers and enthusiasts. The 145mm tyre diameter combined with the 64mm width creates an ideal footprint for 1/8 scale vehicles, delivering a balanced compromise between ground clearance, rolling resistance and contact patch. The Arrow tyre compound has been formulated to maintain consistent grip across temperature variations and different track conditions, which is essential for competitive driving where predictable handling is critical. The 5-spoke wheel design utilises lightweight but durable materials to ensure minimal rotational inertia whilst maintaining structural integrity under the considerable stresses of aggressive truggy driving. The 0 degree offset geometry ensures the wheels sit perfectly under your truggy's suspension geometry without any adverse effects on handling or wear patterns. The 17mm hex fitment has become the industry standard for 1/8 scale off-road vehicles, meaning this set will integrate seamlessly with virtually any modern truggy platform including those from Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi and other leading RC car UK manufacturers. The black finish is not merely cosmetic—it's a durable coating that protects the underlying material from corrosion and UV degradation, ensuring these wheels maintain their appearance and performance for extended periods. Whether you're running 4S or higher LiPo batteries, the robust construction of these wheels will handle the torque and acceleration without flex or failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres suitable for 1/8 truggy racing in the UK? — Yes, absolutely. The Fastrax Arrow MTD set has been specifically designed for 1/8 off-road truggy applications, and the specifications match the requirements of recreational and competitive racing environments across the UK. Many UK-based RC competitors choose Fastrax products for their reliability and consistent performance.
• What vehicles are these compatible with? — These wheels and tyres are suitable for all 1/8 off-road truggy applications featuring 17mm hex adaptors. This includes vehicles from major manufacturers, and the compatibility section in our product database confirms they fit the ARRMA 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4x4 RTR Speed Truck and other popular 1/8 truggy platforms.
• Can I use these wheels on the front and rear of my truggy? — Yes, the specifications are identical across both wheels, so you can use them as a matched pair on both axles for consistent handling and predictable vehicle dynamics throughout your driving sessions.
• How long will these tyres last? — Tyre longevity depends on driving intensity, track surface and maintenance practices. The Arrow compound is engineered for durability, but users should expect to replace tyres periodically depending on usage. Proper wheel alignment and suspension setup will extend tyre life significantly.
• Do I need to balance these wheels after installation? — No, these wheels arrive pre-mounted and ready to use. However, if you remove the tyres at any point and wish to remount them, professional balancing is recommended for optimal performance.
• What is the wheel offset and why does it matter? — These wheels feature a 0 degree offset, meaning they sit directly perpendicular to the axle. This neutral offset is ideal for most 1/8 truggy suspension geometries and ensures tyres wear evenly and handling remains predictable across varied driving conditions.
• Are these wheels strong enough for serious racing? — Yes, the 5-spoke design has been engineered to withstand the forces associated with 1/8 scale truggy racing, including hard landings from jumps, aggressive acceleration and high-speed cornering. The lightweight construction also helps minimise unsprung weight.
• What makes the 145mm diameter and 64mm width ideal for 1/8 truggies? — This size combination provides the correct rolling circumference for 1/8 scale vehicles whilst offering a generous contact patch for traction. The wide 64mm footprint distributes weight effectively and improves stability on loose terrain, which is critical for truggy performance.
