Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these FTX9075Y wheels compatible with other FTX buggies besides the Comet? — These wheels are specifically designed for the FTX Comet desert buggy and short course vehicles. While some FTX models share similar specifications, compatibility with other models cannot be guaranteed without direct verification. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop to confirm fitment before ordering if you own a different FTX model.
- What tyres do I need to fit to these FTX9075Y rear wheels? — The FTX9075Y wheels are designed to work with FTX Comet-specific tyres that match the 1/12 scale buggy specification. You'll find compatible tyres in the FTX Comet range within the 1/12th Off-Road Wheels & Tyres category at RC Model Shop. The tyres should be mounted onto these wheels using the standard bead-locking or friction-fitting method appropriate for 1/12 scale buggies.
- Why would I need replacement rear wheels for my RC buggy? — During regular RC racing and bashing, wheels can sustain damage from impacts, curbs, or obstacles, or become warped from extended use and temperature exposure. Additionally, competitive racers often rotate their wheels or maintain spare sets to ensure optimal performance. Having replacement FTX9075Y wheels on hand means you can quickly get your RC car UK back on the track or bash spot without downtime waiting for repairs.
- How do the yellow FTX9075Y wheels compare to other colour options? — The yellow finish provides superior visibility compared to darker colours, making it significantly easier to track your vehicle during high-speed racing sessions and outdoor driving where visibility can be challenging. The performance characteristics are identical across colour variants; the choice is primarily about visibility preference and personal aesthetics for your buggy setup.
- Can these wheels be used on both 2WD and 4WD FTX Comet configurations? — These wheels are designated for rear wheel use on 2WD configurations. If your FTX Comet has a different drivetrain arrangement, compatibility should be verified before purchase. Contact RC Model Shop's expert team if you're uncertain about your specific vehicle configuration.
