Key Features
- Pre-Mounted Convenience — These tyres arrive fully mounted on wheels, eliminating the need for separate assembly, wheel fitting, or professional balancing services, which means you can be racing within minutes of delivery rather than spending hours preparing your setup.
- C2 Compound Technology — The C2 compound represents Duratrax's advanced rubber formulation designed to deliver consistent grip levels across varying track conditions whilst maintaining excellent tyre durability and extended lifespan, crucial for cost-effective racing over multiple sessions.
- Blitz Tread Pattern — The aggressive Blitz tread design provides enhanced traction and predictable handling characteristics on both loose and packed surfaces, allowing drivers to push harder with confidence and maintain speed through corners.
- Front and Rear Options Included — With pairs designed specifically for front and rear applications, these tyres are engineered with the weight distribution and handling characteristics appropriate to each axle position, optimising your Slash 4x4's overall performance.
- Six-Pack Value — The multi-pack configuration provides not only front and rear sets for your primary vehicle but also spare tyres for extended racing marathons, allowing you to rotate worn sets and maintain consistent grip levels throughout extended sessions without waiting for delivery of replacement rubber.
- Traxxas Slash 4x4 Compatibility — These tyres are purpose-built for the widely popular Traxxas Slash 4x4 platform, ensuring perfect fitment, optimal performance and the handling balance Traxxas engineers intended for this legendary short course truck.
Technical Performance
The Duratrax Six Pack SC C2 Mounted Slash 4x4 Blitz tyres represent serious engineering focused on delivering predictable, repeatable performance across the full spectrum of short course racing conditions. The C2 rubber compound has been developed through extensive testing to achieve the optimal hardness balance — soft enough to generate exceptional grip on slick, polished surfaces and hard-packed tracks, yet durable enough to resist rapid wear during aggressive driving sessions on rougher terrain. The Blitz tread pattern incorporates scientifically spaced lugs designed to bite into loose surfaces whilst maintaining contact patch consistency on hardpack, preventing the unpredictable side-to-side movement that can occur with poorly designed tread patterns. The pre-mounted configuration eliminates variables introduced during DIY assembly, ensuring wheel balance is maintained and bead seating is perfect from the moment these tyres are installed on your vehicle. For competitive drivers running UK RC events, these tyres deliver the precision handling and predictability required to shave tenths of seconds from lap times, whilst recreational bashers benefit from the durability and consistent performance during extended backyard sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both racing and recreational bashing on my RC short course truck? — Yes, the C2 compound and Blitz tread pattern are engineered for versatility, performing well in both competitive racing environments where consistency and lap time matter, and recreational bashing scenarios where durability under aggressive driving is essential. The balanced compound won't wear excessively during casual use but provides the grip needed when you're pushing for fastest lap times.
- What makes the C2 compound different from other Duratrax tyre options? — The C2 compound represents Duratrax's intermediate hardness formulation, offering the sweet spot between softer compounds that provide maximum grip but wear quickly, and harder compounds designed for longevity but offering less traction. This makes C2 ideal for drivers wanting consistent performance across multiple sessions without needing tyre changes.
- Will these pre-mounted tyres fit my Traxxas Slash 4x4 immediately? — These tyres are specifically designed for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 platform, so yes, they will fit your vehicle's wheel hubs immediately upon receipt. The pre-mounted configuration means no additional wheel fitting or tyre balancing is required — simply install them and drive.
- Why is the six-pack configuration beneficial rather than purchasing individual pairs? — The six-pack provides multiple advantages: you have spare tyre sets allowing you to continue racing or bashing whilst worn sets dry after cleaning, you can rotate tyres to equalise wear patterns across your fleet, and you benefit from superior value pricing compared to purchasing individual pairs. For serious RC enthusiasts, having spare tyres eliminates frustrating downtime waiting for replacements to arrive.
- How do front and rear tyres differ in this six-pack? — Front and rear tyres are engineered differently to account for weight distribution on your Slash 4x4, with front tyres typically designed for responsive steering feedback and rear tyres optimised for traction during acceleration and cornering load. Using the correct tyre position ensures optimal handling balance.
- Are these tyres waterproof for wet conditions or wet grass bashing? — Rubber compounds themselves are naturally water-resistant, however extended exposure to moisture can affect adhesive properties of wheel glue and bearing performance. Drying your vehicle and tyres promptly after wet weather use will maintain optimal performance and component lifespan.
