Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these FTX Outback Steel Look wheels compatible with? — These wheels are compatible with the HPI Venture SBK Scale Builder Kit, HPI Venture Wayfinder RTR Gunmetal and HPI Venture Wayfinder RTR Metallic Orange. They feature the standard 12mm hex fitting used across most 1/10 scale RC vehicles, so compatibility extends to many other similar platforms if you're running a different model.
- What is the wheel diameter and why does size matter? — These wheels have a 1.9-inch diameter, which is the standard size for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Correct wheel sizing is essential for proper suspension geometry, accurate scaling proportions and ensuring your vehicle handles correctly across different terrain types during rock crawling or recreational driving.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these wheels are perfect for beginners. Wheel replacement is one of the simplest maintenance tasks in RC hobby, requiring only a hex driver to swap wheels. If you're new to RC vehicles and want to customise the appearance of your 1/10 scale crawler, these FTX wheels offer an straightforward upgrade path.
- What makes these different from standard RC wheels? — The distinctive steel look finish combined with the prominent lug pattern sets these wheels apart from basic designs. They're specifically engineered for rock crawling and scaling applications, providing visual authenticity whilst maintaining the durability needed for technical off-road driving. The lug pattern is more pronounced than on many standard wheels, contributing to the realistic off-road aesthetic.
- How many wheels do I need? — This pack contains 2 wheels. A typical 1/10 scale RC vehicle requires 4 wheels total, so you would need to purchase 2 packs for a complete set, or use this pack as a replacement or upgrade for the front or rear axle.
- Will these wheels fit my specific RC model? — If your vehicle uses a standard 12mm hex fitting, these wheels will fit. This includes most 1/10 scale rock crawlers, buggies and trucks. If you're uncertain about your specific model's compatibility, our team at RC Model Shop are happy to advise.
