Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax tyre truer suitable for my RC car scale and type? — Yes, the FAST2006 is engineered to work with most electric and nitro RC cars across 1/12th, 1/10th, 1/8th and touring car formats. The adjustable truing diameter of 35mm to 80mm covers the vast majority of wheel sizes in modern RC racing. Optional adapters are available if your specific wheel format requires them, ensuring compatibility across your entire RC fleet.
- What 12V power source should I use? — The tyre truer requires any standard 12V power supply. Many RC enthusiasts successfully pair it with dedicated workshop units like the Fusion PS201, which provides clean, regulated power. Make sure your chosen power supply can deliver sufficient current for the motor and includes appropriate connection terminals.
- How difficult is it to use? — The hand wheel operation process has been designed for simplicity and ease of use. The intuitive controls mean that both experienced RC technicians and beginners can quickly master the trueing process. Once you've trued your first set of tyres, you'll find the procedure straightforward and repeatable for consistent results every time.
- Will this tyre truer work with all my RC car wheels? — The adjustable truing diameter between 35mm and 80mm accommodates the vast majority of standard RC car wheels.

- Why should I true my RC car tyres? — Trueing your tyres ensures they are perfectly symmetrical and balanced, eliminating vibration, improving handling response, and delivering more consistent lap times.
