Technical Performance
These FTX Outback Mini XP Rock Van/Unitrak 1.2" Tracking A/T Tyres represent serious engineering focused entirely on rock crawling performance. The all-terrain tread pattern has been carefully developed to provide maximum grip across the varied terrain that UK RC crawlers encounter, from muddy fields to rocky hillsides and technical obstacle courses. The tyre compound has been formulated to maintain flexibility even in cooler British weather conditions, ensuring consistent performance whether you're climbing in summer heat or winter cold. The 1.2-inch size positions these tyres as the ideal upgrade path for FTX Outback Mini XP owners seeking to move beyond stock equipment. The Unitrak compatibility ensures that the tyres work in perfect mechanical harmony with your crawler's suspension system, creating a cohesive setup rather than mismatched components. The tracking designation indicates these tyres are optimised for precise steering control and predictable handling characteristics, critical for technical rock crawling where every wheel placement matters. Built to withstand the demanding forces of rock crawling—compression during climbs, lateral stress through tight turns, and the constant abrasion of rocky surfaces—these tyres deliver durability alongside performance. The specialised construction means they maintain their grip and structural integrity through extended crawling sessions, making them an excellent long-term investment for serious RC crawlers.
