- 2.8-Inch Diameter — The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is the standard fitment for the FTX Bugsta, ensuring correct ground clearance, suspension geometry and overall vehicle balance when installed.

Technical Performance
The FTX Bugsta Tyres are engineered to deliver consistent performance across the demanding requirements of 1/10 scale off-road buggy racing and bashing. With a 2.8-inch outer diameter and integrated foam inserts, these tyres provide the correct suspension compliance and ground contact characteristics that the Bugsta's suspension geometry was tuned to accommodate. The foam inserts play a crucial role in tyre performance, absorbing impacts from uneven terrain whilst maintaining sidewall rigidity during cornering, which is essential for maintaining predictable handling through fast direction changes. The off-road tread compound used in these tyres is formulated to grip on loose surfaces whilst resisting the wear that comes from high-speed running on hard-packed dirt. For UK RC enthusiasts running their Bugsta on everything from prepared RC tracks to natural outdoor terrain, these genuine FTX tyres maintain the balance between grip, durability and consistent lap times that makes the Bugsta such a popular choice in the 1/10 buggy category.
