Technical Performance
The Fastrax Granite 2.2 wheels represent a purpose-built solution for 1:10 scale rock crawlers that demand reliability and performance in extreme conditions. The 140mm diameter sizing provides authentic scale proportions whilst delivering the practical ground clearance and traction benefits that serious crawler operators require. The wheels feature a robust construction that withstands the repetitive impacts and stress associated with rock crawling, featuring reinforced internal structures that distribute load evenly across the wheel face and rim. The 12mm hex connection system is engineered to exacting tolerances, ensuring a positive, secure fit that eliminates play and vibration during aggressive crawling sessions. These wheels are manufactured to tight quality control standards, with consistent weight distribution across each wheel in the pair, which helps maintain balanced vehicle dynamics even during technical rock climbing manoeuvres. The black finish applied to these wheels uses automotive-grade paint processes that resist chipping, fading and corrosion from exposure to moisture, mud and rocky terrain. Whether you're upgrading from standard wheels or replacing worn components on your existing crawler, the Granite 2.2 wheels deliver measurable improvements in traction, stability and overall vehicle control. The tyre compound featured on these wheels has been specifically formulated to provide excellent grip across a wide range of terrain types, from smooth rocks to loose soil and organic matter found in UK woodland crawler courses. Rock crawling demands absolute reliability from every component, and these Fastrax wheels have been proven in the field by demanding UK RC crawler enthusiasts operating in challenging conditions throughout the country.
