Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models are these tyres compatible with? — These geometric pattern tyres are specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car, available in both the black (FTX5470BK) and white (FTX5470W) RTR versions. They will not fit other FTX models without modification.
- How do the Geometric tyres compare to the R Tread option? — FTX offers two tyre choices for the MK2RS rally car: the Geometric pattern (FTX11327B) reviewed here, and the R Tread option (FTX11327A) which also includes foam. The Geometric pattern provides a balanced grip profile suitable for mixed surfaces and prepared tracks, whilst the R Tread pattern is designed for drivers seeking more aggressive traction characteristics. Choose Geometric if you prefer predictable handling and smooth surface performance, or R Tread if you want maximum grip in varied conditions.
- Are these tyres suitable for rally racing beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The geometric tread pattern offers progressive grip characteristics that make them forgiving and easy to drive for beginners, whilst still providing enough performance capability to satisfy experienced rally drivers. The balanced design helps newer drivers learn smooth steering techniques without the unpredictability of aggressive tread patterns.
- Do I need to do anything special to install these tyres? — No, installation is straightforward. Simply remove your existing tyres from the wheels, insert the new foam inserts into the fresh geometric pattern tyres, and mount them onto your FTX MK2RS wheels. The process takes only minutes and requires no special tools.
- How long will these tyres last with regular use? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, surface types and maintenance practices. With moderate recreational use on prepared surfaces, you can expect several months of regular driving before noticeable wear becomes apparent. High-intensity racing will naturally wear tyres faster. Rotating your tyres between front and rear positions can extend overall lifespan.
- What surfaces are these geometric tyres best suited for? — The geometric pattern excels on prepared asphalt and concrete surfaces, making these tyres ideal for RC clubs with proper tracks, indoor carpet racing facilities, and smooth outdoor surfaces. They will also work on smoother sections of natural terrain, though off-road specialists may prefer the R Tread alternative for those conditions.
