Overview
The FTX Outback Fury/Hi-Rock Tyre with Memory Foam represents a significant advancement in RC crawler tyre technology, delivering superior performance and durability for serious rock crawlers and off-road enthusiasts across the UK. These premium 1/10 scale tyres are engineered specifically for trail crawlers, rock crawlers and demanding terrain vehicles, offering the grip and compliance you need when tackling challenging landscapes. Whether you're navigating rocky outcrops, muddy tracks or technical climbing sections, these replacement tyres provide the foundation for consistent performance across a variety of surfaces and conditions.
Designed as a direct fitment for the FTX Outback Fury and FTX Hi-Rock models, these tyres represent an excellent upgrade option for RC car UK enthusiasts who demand authenticity and capability from their vehicles. The innovative memory foam insert technology sets these tyres apart from standard rubber options, delivering enhanced traction, improved bump absorption and superior handling characteristics that make a real difference when you're pushing your RC crawler to its limits. The 1.9-inch wheel diameter ensures compatibility with standard 1/10 scale rock crawler platforms whilst providing the geometry needed for realistic scale appearance and practical ground clearance.
This pair of replacement tyres is perfect for hobbyists upgrading worn stock tyres, competitors preparing for trail events, or collectors seeking authentic OEM components for their FTX fleet. The memory foam technology works in tandem with the tyre compound to deliver predictable traction across varied terrain, reducing the need for constant setup adjustments and allowing you to focus on driving technique rather than equipment frustration. At an affordable price point, these tyres represent genuine value for RC enthusiasts serious about their crawling performance.
Key Features
- Memory Foam Insert Technology — The integrated memory foam inserts provide superior compliance and shock absorption compared to solid rubber tyres, allowing the tyre to conform to irregular terrain whilst maintaining structural integrity. This technology significantly improves traction on rocky, uneven surfaces where standard tyres would lose contact with the ground, translating directly into improved climbing ability and reduced wheel spinning.
- 1.9-inch Wheel Diameter — Specifically engineered for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, this diameter provides authentic scale proportions whilst delivering the ground clearance necessary for technical obstacles. The standardised sizing ensures compatibility with a wide range of 1/10 scale platforms including the FTX Outback Fury and FTX Hi-Rock models.
- Front and Rear Compatible — These tyres are designed as a universal fitment for both front and rear axle positions, offering flexibility in your setup and allowing you to purchase matched pairs without worrying about position-specific orientation. This versatility simplifies inventory management and ensures consistent handling characteristics across your RC vehicle.
- OEM FTX Fitment — As official FTX components, these tyres are engineered specifically for FTX Outback Fury and Hi-Rock platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance integration with suspension geometry, steering response and weight distribution that the engineers intended.
- Superior Traction Compound — The tyre rubber compound is formulated to deliver consistent grip across varied terrain types, from loose rock and gravel to packed earth and muddy surfaces. This consistency reduces the need for multiple tyre options and enables you to tackle diverse terrain without worrying about traction compromises.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the rigorous demands of trail crawling and rock scrambling, these tyres resist tearing, punctures and degradation from sharp rocks and abrasive surfaces. The robust construction extends tyre life and reduces replacement frequency, improving your long-term cost of ownership.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Fury/Hi-Rock tyres with memory foam inserts represent a pinnacle of engineering for 1/10 scale crawler applications. The memory foam technology distinguishes these tyres from conventional rubber-only alternatives by providing a dual-compliance system: the outer tyre compound handles micro-grip and surface traction, whilst the foam insert underneath manages macro-compliance and obstacle conformance. This dual approach enables the tyre to maintain contact with irregular surfaces that would cause conventional tyres to bounce or skip, resulting in dramatically improved traction during technical climbs and challenging terrain navigation. The 1.9-inch diameter specification places these tyres in the standard category for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, ensuring compatibility with existing FTX platforms and common aftermarket wheel options. The front and rear fitment flexibility means these tyres work effectively across different suspension geometries and loading conditions, whether mounted on a standard crawler with equal weight distribution or on a vehicle with weight bias toward the rear. The tyre construction incorporates reinforced sidewalls to prevent deformation under load, maintaining consistent handling and predictable steering response even when navigating extreme angles and challenging climbs. For UK RC car enthusiasts engaged in trail events, technical competition or simply weekend bashing through demanding terrain, these tyres deliver measurable performance improvements through their innovative foam insert technology, superior grip compound, and durable construction methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the memory foam insert and how does it improve performance? — Memory foam inserts are soft polymer structures integrated into the tyre that provide enhanced compliance and shock absorption. Unlike solid rubber tyres that maintain a fixed shape, memory foam compresses when encountering obstacles and slowly returns to its original shape, allowing the tyre to conform to rocky and irregular terrain. This technology significantly improves ground contact on challenging surfaces, resulting in superior traction, better climbing ability and reduced wheel spin compared to conventional tyres.
- Are these tyres compatible with my FTX RC crawler? — These tyres are specifically engineered as direct fitment components for FTX Outback Fury and FTX Hi-Rock 1/10 scale models. They feature the correct 1.9-inch diameter specification and are designed to work with the suspension geometry and chassis design of these platforms. If you own either of these models, these tyres will fit perfectly without requiring modifications or adapters.
- Can I use these tyres on the front and rear of my crawler? — Yes, these tyres are designed as front and rear compatible components, meaning you can mount them on either axle position without position-specific modifications. This universal fitment approach gives you flexibility in your setup and allows matched performance across all four corners of your vehicle.
- What terrain are these tyres best suited for? — The memory foam insert technology and grip compound make these tyres excellent for rocky terrain, technical climbs, muddy surfaces and loose gravel. The superior conformance to irregular surfaces means they excel in challenging obstacle courses and trail environments where conventional tyres would lose traction. They remain capable across varied terrain including packed earth and mixed surfaces, making them suitable as all-purpose replacement tyres for RC crawlers.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre replacement frequency depends on your usage intensity and terrain type. The robust construction and durable rubber compound extend tyre lifespan compared to budget alternatives, though rocky terrain will cause accelerated wear compared to smooth grass running. Most enthusiasts find that these tyres remain serviceable for several months of regular weekend use before requiring replacement.
- Are these original FTX components? — Yes, these are official FTX manufactured components, not third-party alternatives. The part number FTX9165 is the genuine FTX designation for these specific tyres, ensuring you're purchasing authentic OEM equipment engineered specifically for FTX platforms.
- What is the difference between these tyres and standard rubber crawler tyres? — The primary differentiator is the integrated memory foam insert technology, which provides superior compliance and shock absorption compared to solid rubber construction. This means improved traction on irregular terrain, better climbing ability, and reduced wheel spin. The foam also helps distribute impact loads more evenly, potentially extending suspension component lifespan by reducing shock stress.
