BATRAZZI All-Terrain Track Set for FCX24 & FCX18 — Compatibility, Terrain Use & Upgrade Guide
The BATRAZZI All-Terrain Track Set transforms compatible FMS FCX24 and FCX18 crawlers from conventional wheel-and-tyre builds into compact tracked machines, creating a very different approach to soft terrain, scale presentation and specialist micro-crawler setups.
FairRC currently offers the BATRAZZI All-Terrain Track Set for FCX24/FCX18 in several configurations, including two-piece and four-piece track sets, a rusted-finish version and vehicle-specific mounting hardware.
The current FairRC Flash Sale has brought fresh attention to the two-piece version, but this system makes more sense as an evergreen upgrade decision than as a short-lived promotion. The important questions are compatibility, how many tracks the build needs, what terrain they suit and whether a tracked conversion is genuinely a better fit than conventional crawler tyres.

What Is the BATRAZZI All-Terrain Track Set?
The system replaces conventional crawler wheels with individual tracked units. Instead of placing each corner of the vehicle on a single tyre contact patch, each track presents a longer contact surface to the terrain.
That changes both the appearance and the mechanical character of the crawler.
For a scale-focused build, the visual transformation is immediate. An FCX24 or FCX18 equipped with four tracks moves away from the conventional trail-truck look and towards the appearance of a specialist expedition, snow or utility vehicle.
For driving, the central idea is the larger contact area on loose surfaces. Snow, soft soil, loose sand and similar terrain are where the concept becomes most interesting.
BATRAZZI Track Set Compatibility — What Fits What?
Compatibility is the first thing to check because the FCX family now covers several chassis generations and wheelbases.
FairRC lists the four-piece BATRAZZI All-Terrain Track Set for FCX24 and first-generation FCX18 applications, while newer FCX18 II vehicles require the appropriate dedicated mounts.
This distinction matters because, as explained in our FMS FCX18 vs FCX24 vs FCX24M platform guide, the FCX family now spans several chassis generations and different approaches to wheelbase, body format and upgrade compatibility.
| Configuration | Compatibility / Role | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| 2 PCS Original Set | Two individual tracked units | Best treated as a specialised or mixed wheel-and-track configuration |
| 4 PCS Original Set | Full four-track conversion for compatible FCX24 / FCX18 applications | Confirm exact chassis generation before ordering |
| 4 PCS Rusted Set | Four-track setup with weathered visual finish | Primarily a scale-style choice over the standard finish |
| FCX18 II Track Mounts | Vehicle-specific mounting hardware | Select the version matching the correct FCX18 II wheelbase |
| TRX4M Track Mounts | Mounting solution for compatible TRX4M builds | Track units and correct mounts are both required |
Compatibility first: identify the exact crawler generation and wheelbase before ordering. FCX18 II should not be treated as automatically identical to the original FCX18 platform.
Why Tracks Behave Differently from Crawler Tyres
A conventional crawler tyre concentrates vehicle weight into four relatively compact contact patches.
A track spreads contact over a longer footprint.
That does not automatically make tracks superior. Instead, it changes the conditions in which the vehicle can benefit from the conversion.
Larger Ground Contact
The extended contact surface is the main reason tracks become interesting on loose or soft terrain.
Rather than relying on one round tyre to bite into the ground, the track spreads contact across multiple links.
Different Obstacle Interaction
A tyre approaches an obstacle with a curved leading edge. A tracked unit presents a longer leading section.
That changes how the vehicle interacts with soft edges, broken surfaces, shallow transitions and loose material.
More Mechanical Complexity
The trade-off is additional hardware.
A track contains more moving components than a wheel. That means more mechanical interfaces, additional resistance and more parts to inspect and maintain.
For that reason, the track set should not automatically be treated as a universal performance upgrade.
Upgrade principle: use tracks because the terrain or the build concept benefits from them. If the crawler is primarily used on ordinary rock, hard trail surfaces and mixed terrain, a well-selected wheel-and-tyre setup may remain the simpler choice.
Where the BATRAZZI Track Set Makes the Most Sense
FCX24 — The Straightforward Four-Track Route
For an FCX24 owner, the four-piece configuration is one of the clearest applications because the platform sits directly inside the intended BATRAZZI track ecosystem.
The decision is therefore less about adapting the basic concept and more about deciding whether tracks genuinely suit the intended build.
The FCX24 already has a broad aftermarket ecosystem covering suspension, steering, wheels, tyres, drivetrain parts and power-system upgrades. The BATRAZZI track system therefore fits best as a specialised branch of that ecosystem rather than a replacement for every conventional crawler setup.
If you are still deciding between conventional crawler tuning and a more specialised conversion, our BATRAZZI RC Crawler Wheels & Tyres Guide covers the wheel-and-tyre route in more detail.
FCX18 — Check the Generation Before Ordering
The original FCX18 family is closely associated with the track system, but newer FCX18 II vehicles require more attention.
FairRC provides dedicated mounting options for different FCX18 II wheelbases, so “FCX18 compatible” should not be interpreted as meaning that every FCX18 chassis uses identical mounting hardware.
FCX18 II rule: identify the exact model and wheelbase first, then choose the correct mount. Do not assume first-generation FCX18 fitment automatically carries over to FCX18 II.
Two Tracks or Four?
Two-Piece Set
The two-piece set is the more specialised option.
It can suit a mixed wheel-and-track project or an experimental build where the owner deliberately wants tracks on only one axle.
It is also the configuration highlighted in the current FairRC campaign.
Four-Piece Set
For the conventional tracked-crawler concept, four units are the more natural choice.
All four corners use the same contact system, creating a consistent mechanical and visual configuration.
Compare the current BATRAZZI track configurations and mounting options.

The original and rusted versions serve the same basic tracked-build concept but create very different visual results.
The standard finish suits clean modern vehicles and builds where the track hardware is intended to look relatively new.
The rusted treatment is more appropriate for weathered trail trucks, military-inspired builds, recovery vehicles and deliberately aged scale themes.
This is therefore mainly a scale identity decision rather than a reason to choose one format purely on mechanical grounds.
Tracks vs Conventional Wheels and Tyres
| Setup | Main Strength | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Standard crawler wheels & tyres | Simplicity and broad terrain versatility | General trails and mixed crawling |
| BATRAZZI beadlocks + crawler tyres | Wide choice of tyre compounds, weights and wheel styles | Rock crawling, trail builds and conventional tuning |
| BATRAZZI All-Terrain Tracks | Extended contact footprint and specialised tracked configuration | Snow, sand, loose terrain and distinctive scale builds |
For most owners, conventional wheels and tyres remain the more universal starting point.
Tracks become the stronger decision when there is a real reason for the crawler to become specialised.
What About the Drivetrain?
A tracked system introduces more moving elements than a conventional wheel, so smooth drivetrain operation becomes particularly important.
That does not mean every tracked crawler immediately needs more motor power.
The better approach is to install the track system, evaluate the vehicle and only then change gearing, motor or electronics if the actual setup shows a limitation.
For owners already considering a power-system change, the BATRAZZI Brushless Systems for FCX18 & FCX24 guide explains the brushless upgrade route separately, including why more power should solve a real limitation rather than simply be added because an upgrade exists.
Installation and Mounting
This is not simply a cosmetic accessory. The tracks replace a core part of the crawler's rolling hardware, so correct mounting and vehicle-specific fitment matter.
The exact mount should therefore be treated as part of the track system rather than as an afterthought.
Is the BATRAZZI Track Set a Good First Upgrade?
For most FCX24 and FCX18 owners, probably not.
A first upgrade normally makes the most sense when it solves a known weakness: tyres for grip, suspension tuning for control, steering components for precision or drivetrain changes for power delivery.
Tracks are different because they change the basic concept of the vehicle.
That makes them more compelling for someone who already understands how the crawler behaves on wheels and now wants either a specialised terrain setup or a visually distinctive second configuration.
How the Track Set Fits the Wider FairRC / BATRAZZI Ecosystem
The track system sits inside a much broader BATRAZZI catalogue that includes wheels, tyres, suspension components, steering parts, brass hardware and power-system upgrades.
That makes it more useful to treat tracks as one possible build direction rather than as an isolated accessory.
The FairRC Complete Buyer's Guide to RC Crawlers, Scale Mods, BATRAZZI Upgrades and Accessories maps that wider ecosystem, while our FairRC Stock FMS, Custom Mods & BATRAZZI Ecosystem guide explains how stock vehicles, modified RTR models and BATRAZZI parts now fit together as different build routes.
Final Verdict
The BATRAZZI All-Terrain Track Set is best understood as a specialist conversion rather than a universally superior replacement for crawler wheels.
For FCX24 and compatible first-generation FCX18 builds, the four-piece system offers the most straightforward route to a complete tracked crawler.
Newer FCX18 II builds need closer attention to the exact chassis and wheelbase because mounting hardware becomes part of the compatibility decision.
The two-piece option opens the door to more experimental configurations, while the rusted finish gives scale-focused builders another visual direction.
For ordinary mixed-terrain crawling, conventional wheels and tyres remain simpler and more flexible. For snow, sand, loose surfaces or a build where the tracked appearance is central to the project, the BATRAZZI system offers something genuinely different.
