Fastrax Fully Automatic Tyre Truer FAST2000

Overview

The Fastrax Fully Automatic Tyre Truer FAST2000 is an essential piece of kit for any serious on-road racer in the UK who demands precision and consistency in their RC car setup. Whether you're competing in 1/12th scale racing or running larger 1/8th scale vehicles, this fully automatic tyre truer delivers professional-grade results with minimal effort. Simply set the cutter and press the button – the machine handles the rest with intelligent automation that ensures perfectly trued tyres every single time.

Tyre truing is one of the most critical aspects of RC car preparation, affecting handling, grip, and overall performance on the track. Untrued tyres can cause unpredictable handling characteristics, increased tyre wear, and loss of speed through corners. The FAST2000 eliminates these variables by delivering consistent, perfectly cylindrical tyres that roll true and maintain optimal contact with the racing surface. This is why it's considered essential equipment for anyone serious about competitive on-road RC racing in the UK and beyond.

Built with heavy-duty aluminium construction and a precision CNC-machined base, the FAST2000 combines durability with accuracy. The included protective plexi glass cover keeps debris away from the cutting blade whilst allowing you to monitor the truing process. With forward and reverse modes, auto operation, and regulated speed control, this is a machine designed by racers for racers who refuse to compromise on preparation quality.

Key Features

• 12V Powered Operation — The FAST2000 runs on a standard 12V power source with an included 12V cable, making it compatible with most workshop setups and common power supplies without requiring expensive specialist equipment.
• Fully Automatic Truing — Once you set the cutter position and press the button, the machine automatically handles the entire truing process, eliminating human error and delivering perfectly consistent results every time you use it.
• Simple Push Button Operation — Intuitive single-button control means even if you're new to tyre truing, you can operate the FAST2000 without a steep learning curve or complex setup procedures.
• Forward and Reverse Modes — The dual-direction capability allows you to true tyres in both directions, providing maximum flexibility for different wheel types and ensuring optimal blade engagement from every angle.
• Auto Mode — The intelligent auto mode takes the guesswork out of operation, automatically managing the truing cycle so you can focus on positioning your wheel correctly rather than monitoring timing and blade engagement.
• Protective Plexi Glass Cover — The transparent acrylic cover shields you and your workshop from debris whilst allowing full visibility of the cutting process, maintaining safety without compromising your ability to monitor progress.
• Fuse Overload Protection — Built-in electrical protection prevents damage to the motor and electronics from power surges or electrical faults, extending the machine's lifespan and protecting your investment.
• Heavy Duty Aluminium Casing — The robust aluminium construction provides excellent durability and heat dissipation, ensuring the motor and electronics stay cool during extended use and the machine maintains accuracy over thousands of truing cycles.
• CNC Machined Base — Precision computer-controlled machining ensures the base is perfectly flat and accurately dimensioned, providing the stable foundation necessary for repeatable, consistent tyre truing results.
• Adjustable Truing Diameter — With an adjustable range between 35-80mm, the FAST2000 accommodates everything from 1/12th scale on-road wheels through to 1/8th scale wheels, making it a versatile solution for your entire RC car collection.
• Pre-Installed Cutting Blade — The blade arrives ready to use, eliminating the need for complex assembly or blade installation, so you can start truing tyres immediately out of the box.
• Regulated Speed Control — The motor speed is electronically regulated to maintain consistent cutting performance regardless of load, ensuring clean, precise cuts without chattering or inconsistent blade movement that could damage delicate tyre sidewalls.

Technical Performance

The FAST2000 represents the pinnacle of tyre preparation equipment for competitive RC on-road racers. Its heavy-duty aluminium casing combined with a CNC-machined base provides the rigid foundation essential for precision work, whilst the regulated-speed motor ensures consistent blade engagement throughout the truing cycle. The machine's ability to handle wheel and tyre combinations ranging from diminutive 1/12th scale racing tyres up to 1/8th scale alternatives means it's equally at home in the workshops of UK 12th scale championship competitors as it is with on-road touring car racers. The adjustable truing diameter range of 35-80mm gives you complete control over the finished tyre profile, allowing you to match your specific setup requirements and racing style. The integrated electronics are protected by fuse overload protection, preventing electrical damage from power surges and extending operational life. With forward, reverse, and automatic modes, you have the flexibility to approach different wheel types and tyre compounds with the confidence that the FAST2000 will deliver the precision required for consistent lap times and predictable handling characteristics that separate competitive racers from casual enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a tyre truer and why do I need one for my RC car? — A tyre truer is a precision machine that cuts away excess rubber from RC tyres to create a perfectly cylindrical profile. Untrued tyres are slightly oval or uneven, which causes handling inconsistencies, unpredictable grip levels, and increased wear. For competitive on-road RC racing in the UK, where thousandths of a second separate winners from second place, properly trued tyres are absolutely essential. The FAST2000 delivers the precision needed for serious racing.
• Is the Fastrax FAST2000 suitable for beginners? — Yes, the FAST2000 is extremely beginner-friendly thanks to its simple push-button operation and fully automatic operation. You don't need extensive experience or technical knowledge – simply install your wheel, set the cutter, press the button, and let the machine do the work. This makes it accessible to anyone taking their RC racing seriously, from first-time competitors through to experienced champions.
• What power supply do I need for the FAST2000? — The FAST2000 requires a 12V DC power source, supplied via the included 12V cable. Most RC workshops have suitable 12V power supplies available. The machine is designed to work with standard workshop PSUs, making integration into your existing setup straightforward.
• Which wheel sizes can the FAST2000 true? — The adjustable truing diameter range of 35-80mm means the FAST2000 can handle everything from 1/12th scale on-road wheels through to 1/8th scale wheels. Dedicated wheel adaptors are available separately for different wheel types including 1/12th on-road wheels, touring car wheels, 1/8th on-road wheels, and 1/10th circuit wheels, allowing you to safely secure any compatible wheel for truing.
• How does the forward and reverse mode function work? — The forward and reverse modes allow you to true tyres by rotating the cutting blade in either direction. This gives you flexibility when working with different wheel designs and tyre compounds, and allows you to approach a wheel from either direction depending on your setup and preferences.
• What makes the FAST2000 better than manual tyre truing methods? — Manual truing by hand is inconsistent, time-consuming, and requires significant skill to achieve repeatable results. The FAST2000's automatic operation eliminates human error, delivers perfectly consistent results every single time, and saves countless hours of workshop time throughout a racing season. For serious competitors, this consistency directly translates to better on-track performance.
