Key Features
- Pre-mounted design — These tyres arrive already mounted on wheels, saving you the time and effort of mounting and balancing them yourself, so you can get straight back to racing or bashing without delay.
- Universal 12mm hex fitting — The standard 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10th scale RC buggies currently in use, including models from Tamiya, Kyosho and Ansmann platforms.
- Block tread pattern — The Block profile is specifically designed for off-road traction and performance, providing reliable grip across varied terrain whether you're driving on carpet, dirt, grass or mixed surfaces.
- 4WD front position — These tyres are engineered and balanced specifically for front wheel application on 4WD buggies, ensuring predictable handling and steering response during cornering and acceleration.
- White wheel colour — The distinctive white finish delivers a professional, clean appearance that coordinates well with most RC buggy body colours and designs.
- 2.2-inch diameter — The 2.2-inch wheel diameter is the industry-standard size for 1/10th scale buggy competition and recreational driving, ensuring proper clearance and suspension geometry.

Technical Performance
The Fastrax Block 1/10th Buggy Tyres deliver dependable off-road performance in a compact, lightweight package suited to competitive and recreational 1/10th scale RC driving. The 2.2-inch diameter wheels maintain the correct proportions and suspension geometry for 1/10th buggies, while the Block tread pattern provides multi-surface grip capabilities essential for varied terrain. The white wheel construction is durable enough for repeated impacts and landings typical of buggy racing and bashing, whether you're navigating rocky terrain, sand, dirt tracks or grass fields. The pre-mounted configuration means the tyres arrive balanced and ready for immediate use, eliminating setup delays and potential mounting errors. The standard 12mm hex fitting ensures secure connection to compatible vehicles without modification, and the front-specific design optimises weight distribution and steering response during aggressive cornering and acceleration manoeuvres. These replacement tyres are perfect for maintaining peak performance as factory-fitted tyres wear, or as backup wheels for competitive events where fresh rubber can make a measurable difference in lap times and handling consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC buggies are these Fastrax Block tyres compatible with? — These pre-mounted tyres fit most Tamiya, Kyosho and Ansmann 1/10th buggies that use standard 12mm hex fittings. They are specifically listed as compatible with the Tamiya Plasma Edge II Buggy (TT-02B) and the Tamiya Neo Scorcher Buggy (TT-02B), making them ideal replacements for these popular platforms. Many other 1/10th scale buggies use the same 12mm hex standard, so compatibility is generally excellent across the hobby.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners and casual bashers? — Yes, absolutely. The Fastrax Block tyres are perfect for anyone from casual weekend drivers to experienced racers. They're pre-mounted to save time and hassle, and the Block tread pattern provides reliable grip across most driving surfaces. If you're new to the RC hobby and own a 1/10th buggy, these represent an excellent choice for replacement or backup wheels without the complexity of mounting tyres yourself.
- What position are these tyres designed for? — These are front-specific tyres engineered for 4WD buggy applications. Front and rear tyres often have different characteristics to optimise handling balance, so using the correct position is important for best performance. These front-specific Block tyres are designed to provide optimal steering response and cornering grip on the front axle of your 4WD buggy.
- What is the wheel diameter and will they fit my buggy? — These tyres feature a 2.2-inch wheel diameter, which is the industry standard for 1/10th scale buggies. The 12mm hex fitting is also the universal standard, so they'll fit any 1/10th buggy using this common configuration. Before purchasing, verify your RC buggy uses 12mm hex hubs to ensure perfect compatibility.
- Are these pre-mounted tyres as good as mounting my own? — Pre-mounted tyres offer the convenience of immediate use and the assurance that they've been professionally assembled and balanced at the factory. While experienced RC enthusiasts might prefer the control of mounting tyres themselves, the Fastrax pre-mounted configuration eliminates guesswork and is perfectly suitable for racing and bashing at all levels.
