The Fastrax 1:10 Crawler Swamper 1.9 Scale Wheel with Ø118mm Tyre in silver is an essential upgrade for serious rock crawlers and off-road enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're piloting a Traxxas TRX-4, Axial SCX24, or any other 1:10 scale crawler, these premium tyres deliver the grip and performance you need to conquer challenging terrain. As an RC car enthusiast in the UK, you'll appreciate the carefully engineered tread pattern designed to handle everything from rocky landscapes to muddy trails, providing the traction and stability that separates casual bashers from dedicated crawler competitors.

Fastrax has built an outstanding reputation for delivering quality crawler accessories, and these Swamper tyres are no exception.

At 1.9 inches in diameter, these wheels fit the most popular 1:10 scale rock crawlers on the market today. The package includes two tyres mounted on ready-to-fit wheels with 12mm hex fittings, meaning you can have them installed and ready for action in minutes. For UK RC enthusiasts building or upgrading their first crawler, or experienced competitors looking to refresh their tyre collection, the Fastrax Crawler Swamper delivers the performance and reliability you expect from a recognised manufacturer.

Key Features

• Swamper Tread Pattern — The aggressive tread design features strategically positioned lugs and deep grooves engineered specifically for rock crawling, allowing your tyres to maintain grip on rocky, uneven surfaces whilst preventing mud and dirt from clogging the treads, which is crucial for consistent traction during technical climbs and descents.
• 118mm Diameter Size — This precise Ø118mm measurement positions these tyres perfectly within the 1.9 inch specification window, delivering the exact ground clearance and articulation geometry that modern 1:10 scale crawlers are designed around, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and handling characteristics.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The universal 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1:10 scale rock crawlers available in the UK market, including Traxxas TRX-4 models, Axial Racing platforms, and numerous other popular crawler platforms, eliminating the need for expensive adapters or incompatible parts.
• Silver Finish — The polished silver wheel finish provides an attractive, professional appearance whilst being versatile enough to complement virtually any vehicle colour scheme, helping your RC crawler look as good as it performs on the track or trail.
• Front and Rear Mounting — These tyres are equally suitable for front or rear positions, giving you complete flexibility in how you configure your suspension and ensuring you can replace worn tyres across all four corners without needing to manage different part numbers or specifications.
• Two-Piece Set — Each purchase includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, allowing you to replace a worn pair or upgrade to a fresh Swamper setup on either the front axle, rear axle, or split your new tyres across multiple vehicles for maximum versatility.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax 1:10 Crawler Swamper represents serious engineering focused on delivering the specific performance characteristics that rock crawlers demand. At 118mm in diameter, these 1.9 inch tyres sit within a critical performance window for 1:10 scale vehicles, offering the precise diameter tolerance needed for accurate speedometer readings and suspension geometry calibration. The Swamper tread pattern incorporates deep grooves and aggressive lugs that have been refined through thousands of hours of testing on genuine rock crawling courses across Europe and beyond. The rubber compound used in these tyres is engineered for durability across variable terrain, maintaining grip in both dry and wet conditions whilst resisting premature wear from repeated contact with sharp rocks and abrasive surfaces. The 12mm hex fitting is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring a precise fit that eliminates wobble and maintains the structural integrity of your vehicle's suspension geometry. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand nothing less than genuine, quality components, the engineering rigour evident in these Swamper tyres justifies their position as a preferred choice among dedicated crawler pilots. Whether you're threading your way through a technical obstacle course or attacking a hillside climb, these tyres deliver the controlled grip and predictable performance that separates success from disappointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What scale are these Fastrax Crawler Swamper tyres suitable for? — These are purpose-designed 1:10 scale tyres measuring exactly 118mm in diameter, placing them perfectly within the 1.9 inch specification. They are not suitable for 1:8 scale crawlers or other scale vehicles, so it's important to confirm your vehicle's scale before ordering.
• Which vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — With their universal 12mm hex fitting, these tyres are compatible with virtually all major 1:10 scale rock crawlers sold in the UK, including Traxxas TRX-4 models, Axial Racing SCX24, SCX10, and SCX10 II platforms, plus countless other brands and aftermarket rock crawler builds. However, always confirm your vehicle uses 12mm hex wheel fittings before purchasing.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — These are excellent choice for beginner RC crawlers who want to upgrade their stock tyre setup or build their first serious crawler. The Swamper tread pattern provides forgiving grip characteristics that help newer drivers develop consistent technique without punishing small mistakes. However, they are equally capable in experienced hands for competition use.
• What is the 1.9 scale specification? — The 1.9 scale notation refers to the tyre's diameter measurement in inches, with these Fastrax Swampers measuring precisely 118mm to deliver the performance geometry that 1:10 scale crawlers require. This is distinct from vehicle scale (1:10) and describes only the tyre size.
• Can I use these tyres for bashing and general RC driving? — Whilst these tyres are engineered specifically for rock crawling with their aggressive Swamper pattern, they will function on any suitable 1:10 scale vehicle with 12mm hex fittings. However, on high-speed vehicles or smooth surfaces, their dedicated crawling characteristics may not be optimal compared to tyres engineered for those applications.
• Do these tyres come mounted on wheels? — Yes, the package includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies with wheels already mounted and fitted with 12mm hex adaptors. They are ready to install directly onto your vehicle without any assembly required.
• What makes Swamper tyres different from standard crawler tyres? — The Swamper tread pattern features deeper, more aggressive lugs with specific spacing designed to maintain ground contact on extremely uneven rock surfaces whilst preventing mud or dirt from building up in the treads. This makes them particularly effective for technical rock crawling compared to more general-purpose off-road tread patterns.
