RC enthusiasts across the UK have come to trust FTX components for their reliability and genuine compatibility.

Key Features

• Genuine FTX OEM Component — As the factory-original tyre and foam specification for the Zorro Trophy Truck range, these tyres guarantee perfect fitment and performance matching with your vehicle's suspension and handling setup, eliminating compatibility concerns that can occur with third-party alternatives.
• Dual Profile Design — The innovative dual profile construction features a 2.2-inch outer profile paired with a 3.0-inch inner profile, providing optimal weight distribution, contact patch characteristics and cornering stability for short course racing and high-speed running.
• Included Foam Inserts — Each tyre comes pre-mounted with quality foam inserts that absorb impacts, maintain tyre shape during aggressive cornering, and contribute to overall vehicle stability and predictable handling both on-road and off-road terrain.
• Front and Rear Positioning — This pack contains tyres suitable for both front and rear axle positions, making it a complete tyre refresh solution for your Zorro Trophy Truck rather than requiring separate purchases for different ends of the vehicle.
• Short Course Trophy Truck Specification — Purpose-engineered for the demands of short course racing, these tyres are optimised for the unique driving characteristics, weight distribution and performance envelope of 1/10 scale trophy truck platforms like the Zorro.

Technical Performance

The FTX Zorro Tyres & Foam represent a thoughtfully engineered solution for 1/10 scale short course racing and recreational driving. The dual profile design—featuring a 2.2-inch outer diameter with a 3.0-inch inner profile—is precisely calculated to work in harmony with the Zorro Trophy Truck's suspension geometry, offering the ideal balance between ground clearance, contact patch size and overall vehicle stance. The integrated foam inserts play a critical role in tyre performance, working to maintain consistent tyre shape during high-speed cornering, absorbing impacts from track obstacles and providing the damping characteristics necessary for smooth and predictable handling. Whether you're driving on smooth tarmac, mixed terrain or off-road gravel tracks, the foam construction ensures your vehicle remains controllable and responsive. The tyres are engineered to work seamlessly across the entire Zorro Trophy Truck product line, including the brushed RTR variant in blue, the brushless RTR variant in orange, and both nitro RTR versions available in orange and blue configurations. This genuine FTX specification means you benefit from engineering developed through extensive testing and real-world racing experience, rather than relying on generic alternatives that may compromise your vehicle's handling characteristics or void compatibility expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX Zorro models are compatible with the FTX6951 tyres and foam? — These tyres are designed for the complete FTX Zorro Trophy Truck range.

Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
• Are these genuine FTX replacement tyres or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM FTX factory-specification components, not aftermarket alternatives. This means they are engineered to the exact standards FTX designed into your Zorro Trophy Truck and will provide identical performance to the tyres that came with your vehicle originally.
• Do these tyres come with foam inserts included? — Yes, the FTX6951 package includes both the tyres and the foam inserts pre-mounted. You receive a complete ready-to-fit solution with no additional components required, making installation straightforward for UK RC enthusiasts of any experience level.
• What scale vehicle is this tyre set for? — These tyres are engineered for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, specifically the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck line. They are not compatible with smaller 1/18 scale models or larger 1/8 scale vehicles, so ensure you are ordering the correct size for your specific RC truck.
• Can I use these tyres on other RC truck brands? — While the 1/10 scale size may physically fit some other short course trucks, the FTX6951 tyres are engineered specifically for the Zorro Trophy Truck's geometry and suspension characteristics. For optimal performance and reliability, use these tyres only on compatible FTX Zorro models.
• How often should I replace my RC truck tyres and foam? — Tyre replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and running surface. For competitive racers running multiple heats, fresh tyres for each event are ideal. Recreational users running on mixed terrain may see several months of use before replacement becomes necessary. When you notice reduced grip, visible wear patterns or foam compression, it is time for a fresh set.
