FAQs
What size wheel do these tyres fit?
These are 1.9" diameter tyres, designed to fit standard 1.9" RC crawler wheels.
Are these tyres sold individually or in pairs?
The product description indicates they are supplied as a pair (Pr).
What is the benefit of the memory foam insert?
The memory foam provides superior cushioning, shock absorption, and allows the tyre to better conform to uneven terrain for improved grip.
Can I use these tyres on a rock bouncer or trail truck?
While designed for crawlers, their aggressive tread and grip-enhancing features can benefit rock bouncers and capable trail trucks as well, depending on your specific setup and driving conditions.
How do I clean the memory foam if it gets wet?
Allow the tyres to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat. The foam may take some time to dry fully.
Will these tyres fit my specific RC model?
As long as your RC model uses 1.9" diameter wheels, these tyres should be compatible. It's always best to check your model's specifications.
Troubleshooting
Tyre doesn't seat properly on the wheel
Ensure you are using a compatible 1.9" wheel. For beadlock wheels, check that the beadlock ring is properly aligned and all screws are tightened evenly in a star pattern. Lubricating the tyre bead slightly might help.
Reduced grip after mud or water use
Allow the tyres to air dry completely. The memory foam can absorb moisture, which may temporarily reduce grip. Clean the tyres thoroughly after heavy mud use.
Tyre feels too soft or too stiff
The memory foam provides a balance. If it feels too soft for your driving style, ensure the beadlock is fully secured. If too stiff, ensure the memory foam is correctly positioned within the tyre and not compressed unevenly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Improved traction on rough terrain due to aggressive tread.
- Enhanced shock absorption and terrain adaptability from memory foam.
- Durable construction for extended use.
- Standard 1.9" size offers good compatibility with popular RC crawler wheels.
Cons
- May require specific beadlock wheels for secure mounting.
- The memory foam could potentially absorb water if submerged for extended periods.
- Performance may vary significantly depending on the specific model RC crawler it's fitted to.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These 1.9" tyres are designed to be mounted onto compatible RC crawler wheels, ideally beadlock wheels for a secure fit and easy tire changes. Ensure the tyre bead seats evenly all around the wheel before tightening the beadlock screws.
Compatibility: The 1.9" diameter makes them compatible with a wide range of 1.9" RC crawler wheels from brands like Axial, Pro-Line, and other aftermarket manufacturers. Verify your wheel's bead diameter matches the tyre's specification.
Care: After use, clean the tyres with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store the RC crawler in a cool, dry place to prevent the rubber from degrading. If the memory foam becomes saturated, allow the tyres to air dry completely.
