Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these metal hexes better than plastic alternatives for my FTX Texan? — Yes, metal construction provides superior durability, wear resistance and longevity. Metal hexes are less prone to stripping, cracking or breaking under the constant stress of rock crawling and rough terrain, making them a worthwhile upgrade and essential spares for serious crawlers.
- Will these hexes fit my FTX Texan without modification? — Yes, these are genuine OEM FTX spares designed specifically for the Texan 1/10 model, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing chassis and suspension assembly. No modifications or adapters are required.
- How often should I replace wheel hexes on my RC crawler? — The frequency depends on your usage intensity and driving style. Heavy rock crawling and bashing will wear hexes faster than casual recreational driving. It's good practice to carry spare sets like this four-piece pack for quick replacement if you notice any looseness, play or damage affecting wheel alignment.
- What is the difference between metal and plastic hexes? — Metal hexes offer significantly greater strength and durability, resisting impact damage, wear and stripping much more effectively than plastic. Whilst plastic hexes are lighter and initially cheaper, metal components prove more economical long-term through extended lifespan and reduced replacement frequency. For RC crawler applications where durability is paramount, metal is the superior choice.
- Can I use these hexes on other FTX models? — These are specifically designed for the FTX Texan 1/10 scale model. Whilst some FTX vehicles share compatible spares, you should verify fitment with your specific model before purchasing. Consult the FTX Texan spares list or contact our team for compatibility advice.
- Do I need any special tools to install these hexes? — Installation requires only basic tools typically found in any RC enthusiast's toolbox, such as hexagonal wrenches and screwdrivers. The straightforward design allows for quick, tool-free removal of old components and installation of new spares.
