Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models are these rear wheels compatible with? — These chrome-plated rear wheels are specifically designed for FTX Comet Monster and FTX Comet Truggy 1/12 scale RC vehicles. They are engineered to fit the rear axle positions on these models perfectly, ensuring correct wheel alignment and suspension geometry for optimal handling performance.
- How many wheels are included in this pack? — This pack contains two rear wheels, which is exactly the correct quantity needed to replace or upgrade both rear wheels on your FTX Comet Monster or Truggy. If you need additional wheels for spares or have multiple vehicles, you may wish to order multiple packs.
- What is the finish on these wheels? — These wheels feature a premium chrome plating applied over the base wheel material. The chrome finish is silver in colour and provides both an attractive appearance upgrade and practical corrosion resistance benefits, helping to keep your wheels looking new through extended use in various weather conditions.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These wheels are straightforward replacement components that require no special knowledge or tools to install. Simply remove the old wheels from your FTX Comet and install the new chrome-plated ones using the existing hardware. They're perfect for anyone looking to upgrade the appearance of their RC car without any technical complexity.
- Will these wheels improve my RC car's performance? — Whilst these wheels are primarily an aesthetic upgrade, they maintain the same performance characteristics as standard FTX wheels. The main benefit is the improved appearance and the corrosion resistance provided by the chrome plating, which helps extend the lifespan of your wheels and keep them looking premium.
- How do I install these wheels on my FTX Comet? — Installation is simple and requires only basic tools. Remove the current rear wheels from your FTX Comet by unscrewing the wheel hub nuts or bolts (depending on your model variant), slide the old wheels off, position the new chrome-plated wheels onto the rear axles, and secure them using the existing fasteners. Torque specifications should follow FTX's standard wheel installation procedures to prevent over-tightening.
- Can I use these wheels on the front axle? — No, these wheels are specifically designed and manufactured for rear axle installation on FTX Comet models. Front wheels have different specifications and fitment requirements, so you should use FTX Comet front wheels on the front axle to maintain proper vehicle geometry and handling characteristics.
- What is the scale of these wheels? — These wheels are designed for 1/12 scale FTX Comet Monster and Truggy vehicles. The 1/12 scale refers to the overall size and proportions of the RC vehicle, and these wheels are manufactured to the exact dimensions required for this scale class.
