Key Features

• Steel Construction — These wheels are manufactured from steel rather than plastic or soft metals, providing exceptional durability and resilience when navigating rocky terrain, roots and harsh off-road environments. Steel wheels resist deformation and maintain their shape through thousands of driving cycles, making them a genuine long-term investment for serious crawlers rather than a consumable upgrade.
• 1.9-Inch Scale Size — The 1.9-inch wheel diameter is the recognised standard for high-performance 1:10 scale crawler applications, offering the ideal compromise between ground clearance, approach angles and realistic scale proportions. This size is specifically engineered to work with crawler suspension geometry and geometry, allowing proper articulation without binding or interference.
• 108mm Diameter — The 108mm wheel diameter measurement provides exact specifications for fitment, clearance and overall vehicle height calculations. This precise sizing ensures compatibility with suspension arms, mudguards and body panels on properly set-up 1:10 crawlers.
• 12mm Hex Connection — The standard 12mm hex fitting system allows straightforward installation on any 1:10 crawler equipped with 12mm hubs, making these wheels compatible with a wide range of leading brands including FTX, HPI, Traxxas TRX-4, Axial Racing and Team Associated platforms.
• Front and Rear Versatility — These wheels are designed for both front and rear fitment positions, allowing you to run matching sets across your entire crawler for consistent handling characteristics and authentic appearance across all four corners.
• Black Finish — The durable black powder-coated finish provides an aggressive, authentic look that complements any scale crawler bodyshell. The finish resists corrosion and weather damage, maintaining its appearance through countless trail sessions whether you're climbing rocky terrain in Wales, navigating technical courses or exploring forest tracks across the UK.
• Rock Crawler Classification — These wheels are specifically engineered for rock crawler applications rather than generic off-road use, meaning the design has been optimised for low-speed articulation, extreme grip and stability on uneven terrain. This specialised focus ensures superior performance compared to wheels designed for speed-focused buggy racing.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Sawblock wheel represents serious engineering optimised for the specific demands of 1:10 scale rock crawling. Steel construction provides genuine durability that plastic or nylon wheels cannot match, with the material properties of steel delivering consistent grip characteristics even after extended use. The 108mm diameter positions these wheels perfectly within the 1:10 crawler category, delivering the ground clearance and approach angles that technical trail crawling demands whilst maintaining proper scale proportions. The 12mm hex fitting is the industry standard for 1:10 crawlers, ensuring broad compatibility across the major manufacturer platforms including FTX, HPI Venture, Axial Racing, Team Associated and Traxxas TRX-4 models. The wheel's compatibility with both front and rear suspension positions means you can create fully matched four-wheel setups, improving vehicle balance and handling consistency throughout your crawling sessions. The black finish is applied through industrial powder-coating processes that resist weathering, UV damage and mechanical abrasion, maintaining aesthetic appeal and protective qualities through repeated off-road exposure. For UK crawler enthusiasts committed to upgrading from stock wheels, these Fastrax units deliver measurable improvements in traction, stability and vehicle control across diverse terrain types.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the Fastrax Sawblock wheels a genuine improvement over stock crawler wheels? — Yes, absolutely. Verified UK purchasers have confirmed significant performance improvements when upgrading from standard FTX Outback 3.0 tyres to these Fastrax Sawblock wheels. The steel construction provides superior durability, the grip characteristics are noticeably enhanced across different terrain types, and the wheels maintain their shape and performance through extended crawling sessions. Many crawler enthusiasts consider this one of the most worthwhile upgrade investments for improving their vehicle's real-world capability.
• What makes these wheels specifically designed for crawlers rather than other RC applications? — Rock crawler wheels require fundamentally different engineering compared to buggy wheels or stadium truck wheels. These Fastrax units prioritise grip, stability and low-speed articulation rather than high-speed performance. The steel construction is specifically chosen for crawler applications because it provides the weight and durability needed for climbing and rock negotiation, whilst the 1.9-inch size is optimised for the suspension geometry and articulation requirements of dedicated crawler platforms.
• Will these wheels fit my FTX Outback 3.0 or HPI Venture? — Yes, the Fastrax Sawblock wheels are explicitly listed as compatible with multiple FTX Outback 3.0 variants (Paso and Treka models in both Yellow, Blue and Orange configurations) as well as HPI Venture SBK and Wayfinder models. The standard 12mm hex fitting used on these platforms matches the wheel connection specification. However, always verify that your specific vehicle is equipped with 12mm hubs before ordering.
• Can I use these wheels on both the front and rear of my crawler? — Yes, these wheels are designed for versatile front and rear fitment, allowing you to create a complete four-wheel matching set. Running identical wheels at all four corners provides the most consistent handling characteristics and delivers the authentic appearance that serious scale crawler builders pursue.
• How durable are steel wheels compared to plastic or composite alternatives? — Steel wheels offer substantially superior durability for rock crawler applications. Steel resists deformation and maintains its structural integrity through thousands of crawling cycles, whereas plastic or composite wheels can crack, warp or permanently deform when impacting rocks or absorbing impact loads. For serious crawlers committed to extending their equipment lifespan, steel represents the engineering choice that professional and dedicated hobbyists have consistently favoured.
• What terrain performance can I expect from the Fastrax Sawblock wheels? — These wheels deliver superior performance across the full spectrum of crawler terrain including rocky woodland trails, boulder fields, river beds, technical courses and mixed stone surfaces. The steel construction and aggressive tread design provide grip characteristics that significantly outperform stock wheels, particularly on wet surfaces, algae-covered rocks and loose stone. Whether you're climbing steep hillsides, navigating technical obstacles or simply exploring UK trail networks, these wheels provide measurable grip and stability improvements.
• Are the wheels supplied as a pair or a complete set of four? — The product includes a pair of wheels suitable for front and rear fitment positions. To complete a four-wheel setup, you would require two pairs of these wheels (one for the front axle and one for the rear axle).
