FTX Bugsta Mounted Wheel Tyre Complete Pair Black 1/10 Scale FTX6447B

Overview

The FTX Bugsta Mounted Wheel/Tyre Complete Pair in black represents an essential upgrade and replacement option for owners of FTX Bugsta RC buggies and compatible FTX truck models. These professionally designed wheels and tyres are engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a variety of terrain types, making them ideal for both recreational bashers and serious RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to maintain their vehicles at peak performance. Whether you are replacing worn tyres on your existing RC car UK setup or upgrading to fresh rubber for improved traction and handling, this complete pair offers outstanding value and genuine FTX quality assurance.

Designed specifically for 1/10th scale RC off-road buggies, these mounted wheel and tyre assemblies come ready to install without the need for additional assembly or balancing procedures. The black colour scheme provides a classic, aggressive appearance that complements most RC buggy body shells and colour schemes. As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine FTX components that are manufactured to the exact same specifications as the original equipment fitted to brand new FTX Bugsta ready to run RC vehicles.

This product is particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts who regularly bash their vehicles across grass, dirt tracks, gravel, and mixed terrain conditions. The tyres on any RC vehicle experience significant wear and degradation over time, and having a spare set of quality mounted wheels ensures you can keep your RC buggy on the track without downtime. The 12mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with a wide range of FTX vehicles and other brands using the same standard connection system.

Key Features

• Complete Mounted Assembly — These are not just wheels or tyres; they arrive as fully mounted, ready-to-install complete pairs, eliminating the need to remove old tyres, fit new ones, and balance them yourself, which saves time and ensures proper installation.
• 1/10th Scale Sizing — The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is precisely engineered for 1/10th scale RC buggies and trucks, providing the correct proportions and ground clearance your vehicle needs for optimal performance.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hexagonal connection point ensures these wheels fit seamlessly onto compatible FTX vehicles including the Bugsta, Carnage 2.0, and Carnage NT models, as well as many other RC trucks and buggies using the same standard.
• Front and Rear Compatibility — These wheels are designed for use in both front and rear positions on your vehicle, offering flexibility in your setup and allowing you to swap them between different positions depending on tyre wear patterns.
• Black Colour Finish — The professional black finish provides a striking appearance that complements virtually any colour scheme, from bright neon bodies to realistic scale paint jobs, whilst maintaining a modern, aggressive aesthetic.
• OEM Quality — As an authorised FTX product, these wheels meet the same quality standards as original equipment, meaning you are getting factory-specification components with full compatibility assurance.
• Pair Quantity — The set includes two complete mounted wheels, allowing you to refresh either both front wheels, both rear wheels, or keep one as a spare for emergency replacements during racing or bashing sessions.

Technical Performance

The FTX Bugsta mounted wheels represent the culmination of FTX's engineering expertise in off-road RC vehicle design. At 2.8 inches in diameter, these wheels provide the optimal balance between ground clearance and stability for 1/10th scale buggies, ensuring your vehicle maintains the correct ride height for suspension articulation whilst preventing the chassis from striking obstacles during aggressive driving. The tyres are specifically designed to deliver consistent grip across a variety of terrain conditions including grass, dirt, sand, and rocky surfaces. The 12mm hex fitting is manufactured to precision tolerances, ensuring a secure connection to your vehicle's driveshaft carriers that will not slip or come loose during aggressive cornering, acceleration, or impact with obstacles. These wheels are particularly well-suited for the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed 1/10th off-road buggy RTR, for which they are the factory specification, but also work excellently as replacements or upgrades on compatible FTX models including the Carnage 2.0 in both red and blue variants, as well as the Carnage NT 1/10th RTR 4WD nitro truck. The tyre compound has been developed to balance durability with grip, meaning these wheels will maintain performance across extended bashing sessions without requiring frequent replacement, whilst still providing the traction necessary for competitive racing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these FTX Bugsta wheels fit my RC vehicle? — These wheels are compatible with the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed 1/10th off-road buggy RTR (model FTX5530), as well as the FTX Carnage 2.0 in red (FTX5537R) and blue (FTX5537B) variants, and the FTX Carnage NT 1/10th RTR 4WD nitro truck (FTX5540). Any other vehicle with standard 12mm hex wheel fittings should also be compatible, though you should verify this with the product specifications before purchasing.
• Are these wheels ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, these wheels arrive as complete mounted assemblies with the tyres already fitted and the 12mm hex fitting pre-installed. Simply remove the old wheels from your RC buggy and slide the new ones onto the driveshaft carriers — no assembly, no balancing, and no additional setup required.
• How long do RC buggy tyres typically last? — Tyre life depends heavily on your driving style, terrain, and frequency of use. Aggressive bashing on abrasive surfaces like concrete or loose gravel will wear tyres faster than grass or smooth dirt tracks. Most RC enthusiasts notice significant tyre wear after 10-20 hours of active driving and find that having a spare set of mounted wheels ensures they can keep racing without downtime.
• What is the difference between the Bugsta and Carnage models? — The FTX Bugsta is a compact 1/10th scale electric RC buggy designed for agility and speed on varied terrain, whilst the Carnage 2.0 is a larger 1/10th scale truck platform offering increased cargo capacity and ground clearance. Both use the same 12mm hex wheel fittings, making this wheel set compatible with both platforms.
• Can I use these wheels on my RC car if it is not an FTX model? — These wheels will fit any RC vehicle using standard 12mm hex wheel connections, which is an industry-standard fitting found on many 1/10th scale RC buggies and trucks from various manufacturers. However, you should always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model before purchase to ensure proper fitment.
• Are these suitable for high-speed racing or general bashing? — These wheels are engineered for both purposes. The tyre compound delivers reliable grip for competitive racing applications whilst maintaining durability for casual bashing and recreational driving. Whether you are competing in a local RC club event or simply enjoying your RC buggy in the park, these wheels will perform consistently.
