Frequently Asked Questions
- What 1/8 truggy models are these wheels compatible with? — The Fastrax Eagle wheels with 17mm hex fitment are suitable for all 1/8 scale off-road truggy applications that use standard 17mm hex adaptors. This covers most competitive and recreational 1/8 truggy platforms from major manufacturers. If you're unsure whether your specific model is compatible, check your vehicle's hub specification for 17mm hex fitment compatibility.
- Why choose 0mm offset wheels? — The 0mm offset design is preferred by many truggy racers because it maintains your chassis's factory geometry exactly as the manufacturer intended. This ensures correct camber angles, suspension articulation and handling characteristics without introducing any changes that could affect stability or tyre wear patterns. For competitive racing applications, maintaining factory geometry is often critical for consistency and performance.
- Are these wheels suitable for both racing and recreational bashing? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst the Fastrax Eagle wheels are engineered to exacting standards suitable for competitive truggy racing, their durable construction and proven design make them equally at home on weekend bashing sessions and trail running. Whether you're chasing lap times at your local RC track or exploring rough terrain in the park, these wheels deliver reliable performance.
- How do I install these wheels? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC experience. Simply remove your old wheels from your 17mm hex hubs, then press or gently tap the new Fastrax wheels onto the hex adaptors until they seat fully. Many users apply a small amount of low-strength threadlocker to the hex connection for added security during racing. Always ensure wheels are seated evenly and spin freely before operating your vehicle.
- What makes Fastrax wheels different from other brands? — Fastrax has established a strong reputation in the RC community through consistent attention to quality, accurate specifications and reliable performance. Their wheels are recognised by competitive racers and serious hobbyists as a dependable choice that offers excellent value. The combination of precision manufacturing, true profiles and balanced designs ensures your wheels perform predictably lap after lap.
