Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for both FTX Comet Desert Buggy and Short Course variants? — Yes, these wheels are specifically engineered to fit both the FTX Comet Desert Buggy and Short Course buggy platforms, offering universal compatibility across both vehicle types within the Comet family.
• What is the scale of these wheels, and will they fit my Comet? — These are 1/12 scale wheels designed specifically for the FTX Comet platform. They are precision-engineered for perfect fitment on Comet chassis, whether you're running a desert buggy, short course configuration, or hybrid setup.
• Can I use these wheels at the rear of my vehicle? — These are specifically designed for front axle applications. FTX produces separate rear wheels (FTX9075Y in yellow) to ensure optimal handling characteristics for both front and rear positions. Using front wheels at the rear could negatively impact your vehicle's balance and handling.
• Do these wheels come with tyres included? — No, these are wheels only. If you need a complete front mounted tyre and wheel assembly, FTX offers complete packages such as the FTX9066W (Desert Buggy Front Mounted Tyre & Wheel), but the FTX9076Y is the wheel component alone, allowing you to pair them with your choice of compatible FTX tyres.
• How many wheels do I get in each purchase? — Each order includes two front wheels, which is sufficient to fully equip both sides of your Comet's front axle assembly.
• What makes genuine FTX replacement wheels better than third-party alternatives? — Genuine FTX wheels are engineered specifically for the Comet platform's unique geometry, weight distribution, and driving characteristics. Using authentic components ensures perfect fitment, optimal handling, and compatibility with other genuine FTX parts. They're also backed by the reliability and quality standards that FTX customers expect.
• Are these wheels available in other colours? — Yes, FTX offers these front wheels in multiple colours including white (FTX9076W) and even chrome-plated versions (FTX9076C) for those seeking a more premium appearance. The yellow option (FTX9076Y) is perfect for visibility and distinctive aesthetic appeal.
• Will these wheels work on other RC vehicles? — These wheels are specifically designed for the FTX Comet platform. Using them on non-compatible vehicles could result in fitment issues, poor handling characteristics, and potential suspension or drivetrain damage. Always use wheels engineered for your specific RC vehicle model.
