Technical Performance
These FTX Mauler 2.2-inch all-terrain wheels and pre-glued tyres are engineered to deliver reliable, predictable performance for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail vehicles. The robust black wheels provide a strong structural foundation that resists impacts and maintains true alignment even during aggressive off-road driving. The pre-glued construction utilises professional-grade adhesives to ensure the tyres remain securely bonded to the wheels throughout extended periods of use, eliminating the frustration of tyre separation during critical moments. The all-terrain tread pattern is carefully engineered to maximise contact patch on uneven surfaces, delivering the traction necessary for technical crawling, trail navigation, and competitive off-road driving. The 2.2-inch diameter provides the correct proportion for 1/10 scale vehicles, offering adequate ground clearance whilst maintaining responsive handling characteristics. Whether you are tackling rocky terrain, loose dirt, sandy surfaces or challenging mixed ground, these tyres work consistently to deliver the grip and control you need. The 12mm hexagonal fitting ensures straightforward installation onto compatible vehicles, and the pre-glued assembly means no additional tools, solvents or adhesives are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners purchasing an RC crawler for the first time? — Yes, absolutely. These pre-glued tyres are perfect for beginners because they eliminate the most intimidating aspect of tyre maintenance, which is the gluing process. Simply install them onto your vehicle using the 12mm hex fitting, and you are ready to drive. No specialised tools, adhesives or techniques are required, making them ideal for anyone new to the RC hobby in the UK.
- Can I use these tyres on different FTX models besides the Kanyon and Mauler? — These tyres are specifically listed as compatible with the Kanyon and Mauler 2.0 models. Compatibility depends on wheel size, hex fitting type and overall vehicle geometry. If you own a different FTX model, we recommend checking the specifications carefully or contacting our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- How long do pre-glued tyres typically last? — The lifespan of pre-glued tyres depends on how intensively you use your RC vehicle. With regular weekend bashing and casual driving, you can expect several months of reliable use. With heavy, competitive use on extremely rough terrain, tyre wear will be more rapid. The pre-glue bond is designed to last for the entire working life of the tyre, so separation should not be an issue.
- What is the advantage of pre-glued tyres over hand-gluing my own? — Pre-glued tyres save you time, eliminate mess, and ensure professional quality gluing. Hand-gluing requires solvent-based adhesives, careful application technique, and curing time. Pre-glued tyres arrive ready to use, reducing your total preparation time from hours to minutes. Additionally, professional factory gluing typically provides better adhesion than hand-applied methods, reducing the risk of tyre separation during driving.
- Are these tyres suitable for both beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts? — These tyres are perfect for anyone from complete beginners discovering the RC hobby to experienced competitors and serious weekend bashers. The pre-glued convenience appeals to beginners, whilst the reliable performance and all-terrain capability satisfy the demands of experienced drivers.
- Do I need any additional tools or equipment to install these tyres? — No, these pre-glued tyres require no additional tools beyond what you already need to change wheels on your RC vehicle. Simply remove the old wheels, install the new ones using the 12mm hex fitting, and you are finished.
