- Steel Look Design — The distinctive steel-effect finish on the wheel gives your rock crawler a modern, scale-appropriate appearance that enhances the overall presentation of your RC vehicle.
- Authentic Lug Pattern — The lugged tyre tread is specifically designed to provide enhanced grip and traction across mixed terrain, making these tyres particularly effective for rock crawling and challenging off-road conditions.
- 1/10 Scale Compatibility — These tyres are engineered for 1/10 scale RC crawlers and buggies, fitting seamlessly with most vehicles in this popular class, including FTX Outback models and other comparable platforms.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with virtually all 1/10 scale RC car hubs, providing secure attachment and reliable performance during intense driving sessions.
- Front and Rear Positioning — These tyres are versatile enough to be fitted to both front and rear axles, offering flexibility in your setup and tyre rotation strategies.
- White Colour Finish — The clean white finish stands out visually and provides excellent contrast against different terrain types, making your RC crawler more visible and photogenic.

Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Pre-Mounted Steel Look Lug Tyres deliver genuine performance benefits for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and off-road buggies. With a tyre dimension of 104mm in diameter by 39mm in width, these tyres strike an effective balance between ground clearance, traction surface area, and proportional scale appearance. The wheel diameter measures 54mm with a 27mm width, providing a sturdy, realistic platform that complements the scale of your 1/10 vehicle. The lugged tread pattern is engineered to bite into loose surfaces, providing the enhanced grip essential for crawling over rocks, roots, and uneven terrain. The pre-mounted design ensures that the tyre bead is correctly seated on the wheel rim, eliminating common fitting errors that can lead to uneven wear or poor performance. The steel-look wheel finish is durable and designed to withstand the rigours of off-road driving, including mud splatter, water exposure, and rock contact. These tyres are particularly effective on FTX Outback models and similar 1/10 scale crawlers, where precise traction management directly impacts your ability to navigate challenging obstacles. The white colour scheme offers practical benefits too — it makes dust and mud buildup more visible, helping you maintain your equipment in optimal condition. Whether you're descending steep slopes, ascending rocky climbs, or navigating technical side-by-side passages, these tyres provide the consistent, reliable grip that defines quality RC crawler performance.
