Kyosho FATH710BKD - Premounted Drift Tire FD2 on 8-Spoke Watanabe Wheel (Black, 2pcs)  [KY-FATH710BKD]

Premounted FD2 Drift Tires on 8-Spoke Watanabe Wheels

The Kyosho FATH710BKD is a pair of premounted FD2 drift tires supplied on 8-spoke Watanabe style black wheels, sold as 2pcs. Designed as an RC-scale accessory, the set is intended for 1/10 on-road drift applications where users want a ready-to-run wheel and tire option without separate mounting work.

Installation is straightforward for typical 1/10 drift hubs, remove the wheel nuts, place the wheel onto the hub, and secure to the vehicle using the existing wheel hardware. Verify wheel hex and clearance before fitting, and check that the wheel offset matches your chassis setup to avoid interference with suspension or bodywork.

On the track the premounted FD2 tires serve as a tuning element, influencing breakaway and controllable slip. Use them to experiment with steering angle, suspension preload, and weight distribution rather than expecting a single configuration to suit all cars. Balancing the wheel, checking for runout, and matching tire wear across an axle help maintain consistent drift lines.

Care and maintenance are simple: inspect for damage after sessions, clean rubber contact surfaces with a mild solvent if needed, and tighten wheel nuts to prevent loosening during running. Store the wheels away from direct sunlight and high heat to preserve the rubber compound.
