Key Features
- Authentic Tamiya Super Gripper Design — These are genuine original Tamiya tyres featuring the classic pin spike tread pattern that collectors and enthusiasts recognise and trust, ensuring you're getting authentic parts that maintain the character of your classic RC model.
- Pin Spiked Tread Pattern — The distinctive pin spikes provide superior grip on dirt and grass surfaces, giving you better traction and control during off-road RC driving, which is especially important when running on natural terrain rather than smooth concrete.
- Durable Construction — Built from quality rubber compound designed for extended use, these tyres resist wear and maintain their grip over multiple sessions, offering excellent value and longevity when used on appropriate surfaces as recommended by users.
- Pair of Two Rear Tyres — This pack contains both rear tyres you need, so you're getting everything required for a complete rear axle replacement without needing to purchase multiple items.
- Retro Look and Feel — The classic Super Gripper design maintains the authentic vintage appearance of your Tamiya 2WD buggy, appealing to collectors who want their models to look period-correct and maintain originality.

Technical Performance
These Tamiya Super Gripper rear tyres represent the pinnacle of classic RC buggy design, engineered specifically for 1/10 scale 2WD models including the Grasshopper, Hornet, Frog and related variants. The pin spike tread pattern is optimised for dirt and grass performance, providing the grip that vintage RC enthusiasts have relied upon for decades. The rubber compound used in these tyres strikes a balance between durability and grip, ensuring that whether you're running your buggy once a week or taking it to multiple sessions, the tyres will maintain their performance characteristics throughout their lifespan. Unlike modern low-profile racing slicks, these tyres feature elevated pins that bite into soft terrain, making them ideal for bashing and casual driving rather than competition on prepared tracks. The construction quality meets Tamiya's renowned standards, and real-world feedback from experienced RC hobbyists confirms that spike wear is manageable and acceptable when the tyres are used on appropriate surfaces. For best longevity, users recommend running these tyres primarily on dirt and natural surfaces rather than abrasive concrete or tarmac, which will accelerate wear and reduce the lifespan of the rubber.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres compatible with the re-released Tamiya Frog, Hornet and Grasshopper models? — Yes, absolutely. These TAM9805034 tyres are specifically designed for the modern re-released versions of classic Tamiya 2WD models including the 58354 Frog, 58346 Grasshopper, 58336 Hornet and related variants. They're also compatible with the Fighting Buggy and Super Champ original models, making them versatile for multiple classic Tamiya RC cars.
- What surfaces should I use these tyres on for best performance? — These Super Gripper pin spiked tyres are optimised for dirt and grass surfaces where the pins can bite into the terrain and provide excellent traction. Users specifically recommend avoiding concrete and tarmac surfaces, as running on hard abrasive ground will cause the pins to wear much more quickly and reduce the overall lifespan of the tyres. Stick to natural terrain for the best results and longest tyre life.
- How long do these tyres last? — According to user reviews, these tyres offer very good longevity when used appropriately on dirt and grass surfaces. Spike wear is fine and acceptable during normal use, and you can expect these tyres to last through multiple RC driving sessions before needing replacement. Longevity depends heavily on the surfaces you run on, with dirt use providing significantly better tyre life than hard-ground use.
- Are these genuine Tamiya parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine original Tamiya Super Gripper tyres, part number TAM9805034. As an authorised Tamiya retailer, RC Model Shop supplies only authentic original parts, ensuring perfect compatibility and the performance quality you expect from Tamiya's engineering and materials.
- What is the difference between these Super Gripper tyres and other Tamiya tyre options? — The Super Gripper design is the classic and original tyre specification for these 2WD Tamiya buggies. These specific tyres are designed to replicate and replace the original rubber that came on these models, maintaining the authentic look and performance character of these vintage RC cars. If you're looking for original specification tyres that match the heritage of these models, Super Grippers are the authentic choice.
- Can I use these tyres on the Hornet EVO model? — Yes, these tyres are compatible with the 58742 Tamiya 1/10 R/C Hornet EVO, making them a great choice if you've upgraded to the newer Hornet variant and want to maintain compatibility with classic Tamiya tyre specifications.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — These are replacement tyres that mount onto your existing wheels. You may need to purchase wheels separately if you don't have them, but the tyres themselves mount using Tamiya's standard wheel fitting system for 2WD models.
