Technical Performance
The FMS 11001 Tyres deliver reliable performance characteristics engineered specifically for 1/10th scale RC truck dynamics. The 5.3x2.2" dimensions provide an optimal footprint for the weight distribution and suspension geometry of 1/10th scale vehicles, ensuring that the tyre deformation and load-bearing characteristics remain within design parameters during acceleration, cornering and braking. The tyre construction utilises FMS's proven compound and tread pattern technology, developed through extensive testing across multiple terrain conditions. This engineering approach ensures consistent grip characteristics whether you're running on indoor carpet, asphalt, or outdoor dirt and gravel surfaces. The pair format means you can replace a worn front or rear set whilst keeping the remaining tyres in service, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for active RC truck operators. As genuine FMS original equipment, these tyres integrate seamlessly with FMS-specification rims and suspension geometry, maintaining the performance envelope that FMS engineers calibrated during vehicle development.
