The FCX18 II F-100 is designed for drivers who enjoy building and personalizing their RC trucks. While the stock setup already delivers a balanced combination of scale appearance and crawling capability, upgrading the wheels, tires, and bumpers allows you to create a truck that better matches your preferred driving style.

Whether you want to maintain the classic pickup look, create a more aggressive trail build, or simply add more personal details, the right combination of wheels, tires, and accessories can completely change the character of your F-100.

Quick Answer

The best wheel and tire setup for the FCX18 II F-100 depends on your goal:

• 0" wheel setups maintain the original proportions and are ideal for scale-focused trail builds.
• 2" wheel setups provide a larger stance, more aggressive appearance, and the potential for additional tire clearance.
• Metal bumpers complete a custom build by adding more realistic materials and enhanced scale details.

There is no single best configuration. The right setup depends on whether you prioritize scale appearance, trail performance, or a custom truck style.

FCX18 II F-100 Wheel Size Guide

The FCX18 II F-100 uses a 1.0" wheel setup from the factory. When upgrading, the main choice is whether to keep the original scale proportion or move to a larger 1.2" crawler-style setup.

1.0" Wheel Options: Keep the Scale Balance

Revolver Wheels: Classic Off-Road Style

The 1.0" Revolver wheels are designed for drivers who want to maintain the balanced proportions of the FCX18 II F-100 while adding more detail to the build.

Their beadlock-style appearance matches the rugged character of a classic pickup truck without changing the overall stance of the vehicle.

Paired with 1.0" tires, this setup keeps the original scale feel while allowing additional customization through different tire designs.

Best for:

• Scale-focused builds
• Classic truck appearance
• Balanced trail driving

D-Hole Wheels: Traditional Trail Style

The 1.0" D-Hole wheels offer a familiar off-road appearance with a rugged, practical style.

Unlike wheels designed around specific real vehicle replicas, the D-Hole design focuses on a traditional trail look that fits naturally with the F-100’s classic pickup styling.

Combined with 1.0" tires, they maintain the factory wheel size while giving the truck a more customized appearance.

Best for:

• Everyday trail driving
• Traditional off-road styling
• Drivers who prefer factory-like proportions

1.2" Wheel Options: A More Aggressive Build

Rogue Wheels: Larger Stance and Crawler Style

The 1.2" Rogue wheel setup is designed for drivers who want a more aggressive crawler appearance.

Combined with 1.2" tires, the larger wheel and tire combination creates a different visual proportion compared with the stock setup and gives the truck a more rugged trail-ready stance.

This option is better suited for drivers who prioritize a customized crawler look and want to explore larger tire configurations.

Best for:

• Aggressive trail builds
• Drivers who prefer larger tires
• More performance-oriented setups

Revolver 1.2": Classic Style With a Larger Setup

For drivers who like the Revolver design but want a larger tire setup, the 1.2" Revolver option combines a classic beadlock-style appearance with the increased size of a 1.2" wheel and tire combination.

This provides a middle ground between scale-inspired styling and a more aggressive crawler stance.

Best for:

• Custom builds
• Larger tire setups
• Drivers who want classic styling with a bigger footprint

Add Metal Bumpers for a Complete Custom Build

Wheels and tires define the overall stance of your F-100, but small details are what make a custom build stand out.

The BATRAZZI Aluminum Front & Rear Cowboy Bumper Set adds a more detailed metal appearance while matching the classic pickup character of the FCX18 II F-100.

Compared with the standard plastic bumper, aluminum bumpers provide:

• A more realistic metal finish
• Additional scale detail
• A more customized truck appearance

For scale enthusiasts, these details are part of the enjoyment of building an RC truck that feels unique.
