This guide is for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance the traction and performance of their 1:8 Monster trucks. The Fastrax 1:8 MT Jigsaw tires offer aggressive tread for superior grip on various off-road surfaces, with a key benefit of improved handling and control. A potential consideration is their 1/2" offset, which may affect suspension geometry on some models.

The Jigsaw tread pattern is not directional. They can be mounted on either side of the vehicle.
The wheels have a 1/2 inch (0.5") offset.
These tires are best suited for loose dirt, mud, grass, and general off-road bashing where maximum traction is needed.
These tires come pre-mounted and glued to the wheels from the factory. No additional gluing is required for standard use.
The tyre width is 107.8mm.
The tyre diameter is 1/2 inch (this likely refers to rim diameter or a specific aspect of the tire profile, but the width is the more common specification for overall tire size).
These are specifically designed for 1:8 scale Monster trucks. While they might physically fit some 1:10 vehicles with the correct adaptors, the size and weight may not be appropriate for smaller chassis.
Ensure you are using the correct 17mm hex wheel adaptors on your vehicle. The internal diameter of the wheel hex is standard for 17mm.
These tires are optimized for loose surfaces. For hard-packed or asphalt, consider a different tread pattern or reduce throttle input.
The 1/2" offset provides a wider stance. You may need to adjust suspension links, use wheel spacers, or trim the body for clearance.
This can occur with softer compounds and aggressive tread. Consider using tire glue to reinforce the bead or drive at more moderate speeds on very loose surfaces.
Setup: These tires come pre-mounted on 6-spoke black wheels with a 17mm hex hub, ready for direct installation onto your 1:8 scale Monster truck. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with 17mm hex wheel adaptors.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for 1:8 scale Monster trucks. Verify that your model uses 17mm hex adaptors and can accommodate a 1/2" wheel offset without interference with suspension or body components. Common brands that utilize 17mm hex systems include Arrma, Traxxas (with 17mm adapters), and HPI.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, clean the tires after each use to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for any damage or excessive wear. Store the vehicle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent tire degradation.
