Key Features

• 6-Spoke Beadlock Wheels — The beadlock design mechanically secures the tyre bead to the wheel, preventing the tyre from slipping or separating during hard cornering, acceleration, and especially during jumps and aggressive driving. This feature is essential for maintaining control and safety during demanding RC sessions.
• 1/10 Scale Compatibility — These wheels and tyres are purpose-built for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment with standard 1/10 RC car hubs and drivetrain components. This scale is the most popular in the UK RC hobby market, offering an ideal balance between size, performance, and affordability.
• Pre-Mounted and Ready to Fit — Unlike buying wheels and tyres separately, this package arrives fully assembled and pre-mounted, saving you hours of preparation time. You can go from unboxing to driving in minutes rather than spending time gluing, balancing, and setting up your wheels.
• Lightweight 6-Spoke Design — The 6-spoke design provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio compared to heavier wheel designs. Lower unsprung mass means better suspension performance, quicker acceleration, and more responsive handling characteristics throughout your driving experience.
• Premium FTX Manufacturing — FTX is a trusted brand in the RC hobby world, known for building quality components that offer exceptional value and durability. These wheels are manufactured to consistent standards and are designed to withstand the rigours of RC motorsport.
• Sold as a Pair — This package includes a complete pair of mounted tyres and wheels, providing everything needed for a full wheel upgrade without having to purchase additional components separately.

Technical Performance

The FTX Texan 1/10 Mounted Tyres on 6-Spoke Beadlock Wheels combine modern engineering with proven design principles. The beadlock wheel system is particularly important for modern RC performance, as it provides positive tyre retention that conventional glued or snap-ring systems simply cannot match. During hard cornering, the mechanical locking system keeps the tyre seated firmly on the wheel rim, preventing the micro-slipping that can occur with traditional wheels. The 6-spoke design has been refined through years of RC racing and bashing to provide optimal stiffness without unnecessary weight. This engineering approach ensures that power is transmitted efficiently from the drivetrain to the ground whilst maintaining responsive handling characteristics. The tyres themselves are specially formulated to provide excellent grip across a variety of surfaces, from asphalt and concrete to dirt, gravel, and grass. Whether you're driving on UK tarmac surfaces during off-road RC car sessions or tackling purpose-built RC tracks, these tyres are designed to deliver consistent performance. The combination of quality tyre compound and the secure beadlock wheel system means you can drive with confidence, knowing that your wheels will stay perfectly true and your tyres will maintain their grip even during extended driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What 1/10 scale RC cars are compatible with the FTX Texan mounted tyres? — These 1/10 scale wheels are designed to fit most standard 1/10 RC vehicles including FTX Texan models, as well as other major brands offering 1/10 scale RC cars and trucks. Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle uses standard 1/10 scale wheel hubs and that the bolt pattern matches your drivetrain. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model, our RC Model Shop team can provide detailed assistance.
• What is a beadlock wheel and why do I need one? — A beadlock wheel uses a mechanical locking ring or system to clamp the tyre bead firmly against the wheel rim, preventing tyre separation during hard cornering, acceleration, and jumping. This is superior to traditional glued tyres or snap-ring systems because it provides positive, reusable retention that won't fail even after dozens of driving sessions. For anyone regularly pushing their RC car to the limit, beadlock wheels are considered essential equipment.
• Are these wheels pre-mounted and ready to use? — Yes, the FTX Texan tyres come pre-mounted on the 6-spoke beadlock wheels, meaning you can install them directly onto your RC vehicle without any additional preparation, gluing, or assembly. This is a significant advantage over buying wheels and tyres separately, saving you considerable time and ensuring perfect balance and fitment.
• What surfaces are these tyres suitable for? — These FTX Texan tyres are designed for versatile off-road performance across multiple surfaces including dirt, grass, gravel, and hard-packed terrain. They also perform well on concrete and tarmac surfaces, making them an excellent all-purpose choice for recreational driving and bashing rather than specialised circuit racing where sport-specific tyres might be preferred.
• Will these wheels fit my existing 1/10 scale RC vehicle? — These 1/10 scale wheels are designed for standard 1/10 RC vehicle hubs. Most modern 1/10 scale RC cars, trucks, and buggies use compatible hub patterns, but it's essential to verify that your specific vehicle model uses standard 1/10 scale wheel fittings. Contact our team if you need clarification about your particular model.
• How do I maintain beadlock wheels? — Beadlock wheels require minimal maintenance compared to traditional wheels. Simply clean them after driving sessions to remove dirt and debris, and periodically check that the beadlock mechanism is secure and functioning properly. Unlike glued tyres, beadlock wheels allow you to change or rotate tyres without destroying the wheel, making them more economical in the long term.
