Technical Performance

The FTX Bugsta Wheel (2) - White wheels are engineered to provide reliable performance across the FTX range of 1/10 scale off-road RC buggies and trucks. At 2.8 inches in diameter, these wheels strike the right balance between ground clearance and proportional styling for 1/10 scale models. The plastic construction keeps weight low whilst maintaining sufficient rigidity to handle the stresses of off-road driving, whether you're navigating rough terrain, jumping, or high-speed bashing. The 12mm hex hub fitting ensures a secure connection to the vehicle's axles, preventing wheel slip or movement during driving. The white finish is applied to the plastic material, providing durability and resistance to minor scuffs and scratches that occur during normal use. These wheels are designed to work seamlessly with suspension systems and brake assemblies found on FTX vehicles, making them an engineered solution rather than a generic replacement.
