Key Features
- Chrome Silver Finish — The polished chrome plating provides a premium, eye-catching appearance that stands out far more than standard black plastic wheels, making your RC crawler look more professional and show-ready.
- 2.2 Inch Wheel Diameter — The 2.2 inch size is the industry standard for 1/10 scale off-road RC vehicles, ensuring perfect proportions and compatibility with popular trail crawler models without requiring any additional modifications to your setup.
- 12mm Hex Connection — These wheels utilise the standard 12mm hex fitting system, allowing for quick and easy installation on any compatible FTX model without needing specialised adapters or modifications to your vehicle's axles.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — Designed to work in both front and rear positions, these wheels offer complete versatility in how you configure your RC crawler's appearance, giving you options for mixed wheel setups if desired.
- Pair Pack — Supplied as a pair of two wheels, this pack provides enough wheels to upgrade either the front or rear axles of your RC crawler, or to mix and match with other wheel styles for a custom look.
- FTX Brand Quality — Manufactured by FTX, a recognised name in the RC hobby community, these wheels are engineered to the same standards as factory OEM components, ensuring reliability and longevity even in demanding off-road conditions.
Technical Performance
The FTX Mauler Chrome Wheels are precision-engineered components built to exacting standards for the 1/10 scale off-road RC market. With a diameter of 2.2 inches, these wheels are proportionally correct for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail vehicles, maintaining the authentic appearance of a scaled vehicle whilst providing the ground clearance necessary for serious rock crawling and obstacle navigation. The 12mm hex fitting ensures a secure, wobble-free connection to your RC car's axles, which is critical when tackling technical terrain where loose wheels could compromise handling and safety. The chrome silver finish is applied through a durable plating process that resists the wear and tear of regular use, though like all polished finishes, they will benefit from occasional cleaning to maintain their brilliant reflective appearance. These wheels are designed to accommodate standard off-road tyres in the 2.2 inch size range, making them compatible with a wide variety of rubber compounds and tread patterns available to UK RC enthusiasts. Whether paired with sticky competition crawler tyres or more aggressive all-terrain compounds, these wheels provide a stable platform for consistent performance across different driving conditions.

This gives you complete flexibility in how you configure your vehicle's appearance and allows for symmetrical styling across all four corners of your RC car.
- Will the chrome finish last through regular use? — The chrome plating is durable and designed to withstand the demands of off-road RC crawling.
