FTX Outback 3 Tyre w/Foam 1.9 Inch 1/10 Scale Rock Crawler Pair FTX10028

Overview

The FTX Outback 3 Tyre w/Foam is an essential replacement or upgrade component for anyone running the FTX Outback 3 series of 1/10 scale rock crawlers. These premium tyres come pre-mounted on foam inserts, offering the perfect balance of grip, durability and performance on technical terrain. Whether you're a dedicated trail crawler enthusiast in the UK or someone looking to enhance their off-road RC car performance, these tyres are engineered to deliver consistent traction across rocky surfaces, loose dirt and challenging landscape. The Outback 3 range has earned a strong reputation among RC hobbyists for rugged reliability, and these replacement tyres maintain that standard of quality.

Supplied as a pair (two tyres with foam inserts), these 1.9-inch wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions on compatible FTX Outback 3 models, giving you flexibility in your setup and allowing you to swap worn tyres with fresh rubber quickly and easily. The foam inserts are engineered to absorb impacts and maintain tyre shape during aggressive climbing and descending, which is crucial for rock crawling performance. For UK RC enthusiasts running ready-to-run (RTR) or custom-built crawlers, having a spare set of quality tyres on hand is essential to keep your vehicle competitive on the trail.

These replacement tyres represent genuine FTX engineering and are designed specifically for the Outback 3 platform, ensuring perfect fitment and performance with models like the Outback 3.0 Paso and Outback 3.0 Treka. If you're serious about rock crawling and want to maintain peak performance from your 1/10 scale RC crawler, the FTX Outback 3 Tyre w/Foam should be in your spares box.

Key Features

• Pre-mounted foam inserts — The tyres come with foam inserts already installed, which means you save time and effort on assembly, and the foam is precisely calibrated for optimal Outback 3 performance. These inserts provide essential compliance and shock absorption that allows the tyres to conform to uneven terrain and maintain contact on rocky surfaces, a critical advantage in rock crawling.
• Pair of two tyres — You receive two complete tyres with foam inserts, giving you enough to replace worn front and rear tyres or maintain a full set of spares for competition or weekend bashing. Having multiple sets of fresh rubber is a smart investment for any serious RC crawler owner.
• 1.9-inch wheel diameter — These tyres fit the standard 1.9-inch wheel size used on FTX Outback 3 models, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility. The diameter is purpose-designed for rock crawling, providing the right balance of ground clearance and traction.
• Front and rear compatible — The design works equally well in both front and rear positions on the Outback 3, allowing you to run the same tyre compound throughout your vehicle or swap them around to extend tyre life. This versatility makes logistics simpler when maintaining your RC car UK setup.
• Genuine FTX component — These are official FTX Outback 3 replacement parts, not aftermarket copies, which guarantees they meet the exact specifications and quality standards that FTX engineers specified for these vehicles. You're buying the same product that comes on brand new Outback 3 crawlers.

Technical Performance

The FTX Outback 3 Tyre w/Foam delivers proven performance on the types of terrain that rock crawlers are designed to tackle. The 1.9-inch diameter is the industry standard for 1/10 scale crawlers, providing an ideal compromise between ground clearance and approach/departure angles. The foam inserts are critical to crawling performance because they absorb impacts from rocks and roots whilst maintaining tyre contact with uneven surfaces—something that would be impossible with a rigid wheel. The rubber compound and tread pattern are specifically designed to bite into loose terrain, rock faces and obstacles without excessive wear. The pre-assembled construction means the foam is bonded at exactly the right tension for Outback 3 geometry, ensuring consistent performance from the moment you mount them. Build quality is consistent with FTX's reputation for robust, field-tested components that can handle the punishment of serious rock crawling. These tyres have been engineered through real-world testing on the types of trails where Outback 3 crawlers compete, whether that's natural rock gardens, man-made crawling courses, or technical off-road UK terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX Outback 3 models are these tyres compatible with? — These tyres are specifically designed for the FTX Outback 3 series and are confirmed compatible with the FTX Outback 3.0 RTR 1/10 Trail Crawler Paso (available in Blue and Yellow) and the FTX Outback 3.0 RTR 1/10 Trail Crawler Treka (available in Blue and Orange). If you own either of these models, these tyres will fit perfectly on both front and rear positions.
• What scale are these tyres for? — These are 1/10 scale tyres with a 1.9-inch wheel diameter, making them suitable for all FTX Outback 3 crawlers and other compatible 1/10 scale rock crawling vehicles. The 1/10 scale is one of the most popular choices for RC rock crawlers in the UK because it offers a good balance of size, price and performance.
• Do these tyres come with foam inserts already installed? — Yes, these are pre-mounted on foam, meaning they come ready to use straight from the box. You simply remove your old tyres and bolt these on. There is no need to glue or install foam separately, which saves time and ensures the foam is optimally tensioned for Outback 3 performance.
• Can I use these tyres on the front and rear? — Absolutely. These tyres are designed to work in both front and rear positions on the Outback 3, giving you flexibility in how you configure your spare sets. Many RC crawler owners like to rotate tyres between positions to extend their life.
• Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket? — These are genuine FTX Outback 3 replacement parts, manufactured to the same specifications as the tyres supplied on brand new vehicles. You're getting the exact component that FTX engineers specify for Outback 3 crawlers.
• How often should I replace my rock crawler tyres? — This depends on usage intensity and terrain. Serious rock crawling on rough terrain will wear tyres faster than casual trail running. Most users keep several spare sets on hand and rotate them to extend overall tyre life. Having a fresh set ready means you can keep your crawler on the trail without downtime.
• What makes rock crawler tyres different from buggy or truck tyres? — Rock crawler tyres like the Outback 3 are designed specifically for the technical, slow-speed challenges of crawling terrain. They use softer rubber compounds for maximum bite on rocks and loose soil, aggressive tread patterns for obstacle navigation, and lighter construction to reduce unsprung weight. The foam inserts are calibrated for low-speed compliance rather than high-speed stability, making them unsuitable for buggies or trucks but perfect for crawling.
