Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX crawler models are these wheels compatible with? — These wheels are officially compatible with the FTX Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue (FTX5563R), FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR (FTX5563), FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR in Yellow (FTX5575Y2), and FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR in Red (FTX5575R2). The 12mm hex fitting means compatibility is also likely with other FTX models using the same mounting standard.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Yes, these wheels are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. They are straightforward replacement components that require no special knowledge to install, and they work with ready to run RC crawler platforms that are designed for ease of use. Simply ensure you have compatible tyres for your intended terrain type.
• What size tyres do I need for these wheels? — These are 2.2-inch wheels, so you'll need to pair them with 2.2-inch tyres. FTX manufactures a range of 2.2-inch tyre options including All Terrain tyres and Crawler tyres with memory foam inserts, allowing you to choose the tread pattern and compound that best suits your driving conditions.
• Can I use these wheels on other RC brands? — Whilst these wheels are specifically designed for FTX models, the 12mm hex fitting is a common standard in the RC industry. However, we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase, as some vehicles may use different mounting systems or require specific wheel offsets.
• Do these wheels come with tyres? — No, these wheels are sold without tyres. You will need to purchase compatible 2.2-inch crawler tyres separately and either glue them yourself or purchase pre-glued tyre and wheel combinations that FTX offers as alternatives.
• What is the difference between these wheels and the Chrome or Grey versions? — The only difference between the black, chrome, and grey variants is the colour finish. All three options use identical 2.2-inch diameter sizing, 12mm hex fitting, and engineering. Your choice comes down to aesthetic preference and which colour complements your crawler's bodyshell best.
• Are spare wheels important for RC crawlers? — Yes, having spare wheels is highly recommended. Wheels can become damaged through impacts with obstacles or rocks, and having a spare pair allows you to continue your session without delay. Keeping replacement wheels in your pit box is a standard practice among serious RC crawler enthusiasts.
