Key Features
- Pre-Mounted Configuration — These wheels arrive fully mounted with tyres already installed and balanced, eliminating the need for separate tyre fitting and reducing setup time before you can hit the ground running with your FTX Grand Apache.
- Authentic FTX Design — Manufactured by FTX specifically for the Grand Apache 1/7 trophy truck, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your vehicle's suspension and drive system.
- Striking Blue Colour — The vibrant blue finish not only looks aggressive and professional but also coordinates with specific Grand Apache colour variants, enhancing the overall visual presentation of your RC truck.
- Durable Construction — FTX wheels are engineered to withstand the demands of both competitive racing and recreational bashing, with robust materials designed to handle impacts, jumps and rough terrain without premature degradation.
- Optimal Grip Performance — The supplied tyres are specifically matched to the wheel design and Grand Apache platform, providing the traction characteristics you need for confident cornering and acceleration across varied surfaces.
- Ready-to-Use Solution — Having a complete mounted wheel set means you can quickly swap wheels for different track conditions or replace damaged components without waiting for separate components to arrive.
Technical Performance
The FTX Grand Apache Mounted Wheel & Tyre set represents the pinnacle of large-scale RC engineering for 1/7 trophy truck applications. These wheels are precision-engineered to work seamlessly with the Grand Apache's advanced suspension geometry, delivering consistent handling characteristics across a wide range of driving conditions. The tyres supplied on these wheels are specifically formulated to provide optimal grip on both asphalt and off-road surfaces, critical for a vehicle designed to tackle diverse terrain. The wheel design balances weight distribution with structural rigidity, ensuring that your Grand Apache maintains its responsive handling while withstanding the considerable forces generated by an 8S brushless drivetrain. The pre-mounted configuration eliminates variables that could affect tyre seating or wheel balance, guaranteeing that each set of wheels performs identically to help you achieve repeatable lap times and consistent vehicle behaviour. For drivers of the FTX5489R (Grand Apache 1/7 Brushless 8S Trophy Truck Red) and FTX5489BL (Grand Apache 1/7 Brushless 8S Trophy Truck Blue), these wheels represent the standard component choice for both competition and recreational use. The construction quality reflects FTX's reputation as a manufacturer of serious RC vehicles, with materials selected for durability and performance rather than cost-cutting compromises.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
