These mounted tyres come ready to bolt straight onto your 1/8 buggy, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting and balancing — saving you time and ensuring perfect setup from day one.

Built with Duratrax's renowned engineering expertise, the Lockup Buggy Tire represents years of development in off-road RC tyre technology. The combination of the deep knobby tread pattern and quality foam inserts creates a versatile tyre option suitable for both front and rear positions, making this a complete wheel solution for competitive drivers and bashers alike. The eight-spoke wheel design with 17mm hex fitting is industry-standard for 1/8 scale buggies, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of RC buggy platforms available in the UK market today. If you're searching for ready-to-run RC tyres or looking to refresh your buggy's contact patch, the Lockup C2 offers exceptional value and proven performance.

The sidewalls proudly display both the 'Lockup' and 'Duratrax C2' branding in striking blue lettering, identifying these as premium C2 compound tyres engineered for optimal grip in varied track conditions. This is not a budget option — these are serious performance tyres backed by the reputation of a manufacturer that has earned recognition across professional RC racing circuits and recreational driving communities throughout the UK and beyond.

Key Features

• Deep Knobby Tread Pattern — The aggressive tread design on these tyres provides a high degree of traction across multiple surface types, from loose carpet and clay to packed dirt and mixed terrain, ensuring your 1/8 RC buggy maintains grip during acceleration, cornering and braking.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre comes fitted with quality foam inserts that absorb impacts, maintain tyre shape during aggressive driving, and work in concert with your suspension to deliver predictable handling characteristics and consistent lap times.
• Eight-Spoke Wheel Design — The sturdy eight-spoke construction provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, resisting deformation under the extreme cornering forces generated during high-speed RC buggy racing while maintaining aesthetic appeal with its classic black finish.
• 17mm Hex Fitting — The standard 17mm hexagonal drive system ensures compatibility with virtually all modern 1/8 scale RC buggies, whether you're running Losi, Kyosho, or other leading 1/8 buggy platforms available in the RC car UK market.
• Front and Rear Application — These tyres are engineered for use in both front and rear positions, offering driving consistency across all four corners of your buggy and simplifying your spare tyre requirements when racing or bashing.
• C2 Compound Formula — The C2 compound provides the ideal balance between tread life and grip characteristics, offering performance across ambient temperatures and track conditions without the extreme wear profile of softer compounds or reduced traction of harder options.
• Pre-Mounted Solution — By purchasing these tyres already mounted on wheels with foam inserts installed, you eliminate multiple potential points of error and get straight to driving, making this an ideal choice for competitors who want consistency and convenience.

Technical Performance

These DURATRAX Lockup Buggy Tyres deliver the engineering quality expected from a manufacturer with deep roots in competitive RC racing. The combination of deep, aggressive knobby tread and the included foam inserts creates a tyre system that works in harmony with modern suspension designs found on contemporary 1/8 scale buggies. The eight-spoke wheel construction provides structural rigidity without unnecessary weight, critical when every fraction of a second matters in competitive racing or when you're pushing your RC buggy to its limits during weekend bashing sessions. The 17mm hex fitting is the industry standard for 1/8 buggies, meaning these tyres will fit directly onto your existing buggy without requiring adapters or modifications. With an outer diameter of 117mm, inner diameter of 82mm, and width of 43mm, these tyres offer balanced proportions that work well with suspension travel and body clearances on standard 1/8 buggy platforms. The C2 compound represents a carefully engineered blend designed to provide grip across varying ambient temperatures and track conditions, from indoor carpet racing to outdoor dirt tracks common throughout the UK RC racing scene. Whether you're running these on a Losi 8ight, Kyosho RB7, or comparable 1/8 buggy, the Lockup C2 system delivers the predictability and performance that separates competitive drivers from casual enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for both front and rear positions on my 1/8 RC buggy? — Yes, absolutely. DURATRAX designed the Lockup C2 specifically for front and rear application, meaning you can use the same tyre specification across all four wheels for driving consistency and simplified spare tyre logistics.
• What is the C2 compound and how does it differ from other tyre compounds? — The C2 compound is a medium-hardness tyre material engineered to balance grip, tread life, and performance across varying track conditions and ambient temperatures. It sits between softer compounds that offer maximum grip but wear quickly, and harder compounds that last longer but provide reduced traction. For most UK RC drivers running both indoor and outdoor tracks, the C2 compound offers the best all-around performance.
• Do I need to mount and balance these tyres myself? — No. These tyres come pre-mounted on eight-spoke wheels with foam inserts already installed and the 17mm hex system ready to fit. Simply bolt them onto your buggy and you're ready to drive — no additional tyre mounting equipment required.
• What 1/8 RC buggies are these tyres compatible with? — The 17mm hex fitting makes these compatible with virtually all modern 1/8 scale buggies including Losi 8ight, Kyosho RB7, HB D8 and other leading platforms. Check your buggy's specifications to confirm it uses a 17mm hex wheel fitting system.
• Are foam inserts essential, or can I run these tyres without them? — Whilst it's technically possible to remove foam inserts, Duratrax engineers these tyres with foam inserts specifically installed for optimal performance. The inserts help maintain tyre shape, absorb impacts, and work with your suspension to deliver predictable handling. For competitive racing, we recommend keeping the foam inserts installed as designed.
• What surfaces perform best with the Lockup C2 tyres? — The deep knobby tread provides high traction across loose carpet, clay, packed dirt and mixed terrain surfaces. These are versatile all-around tyres rather than specialised options for extreme conditions, making them excellent for drivers who compete on different tracks or enjoy recreational bashing.
• How many tyres should I order for racing? — This package contains two tyres. For competitive racing, most drivers maintain multiple sets of tyres for rotation, testing different compounds, and having fresh rubber for race day. Consider ordering multiple packages depending on your racing schedule.
• Are these genuine DURATRAX tyres? — Yes. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive genuine DURATRAX products with full manufacturer backing and support.
