Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these rear tyres compatible with? — These DURATRAX Shotgun SC Tire C2 rear tyres are specifically designed and tested for the Traxxas Slash and Slash Blitz SCRT10 short course truck platforms. Attempting to fit them to other vehicles may result in fitment issues and compromised performance, so it's essential to verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- What is the C2 compound and why does it matter? — The C2 compound is a tyre rubber formulation that sits in the mid-range of softness, providing a balanced blend of grip and durability. This makes C2 tyres versatile across various track surfaces and conditions, making them an excellent all-purpose choice for both recreational drivers and those new to short course truck racing who want reliable, predictable performance.
- Are these tyres pre-mounted or do I need to mount them myself? — These tyres arrive completely pre-mounted on wheels and ready for installation directly onto your Slash or Slash Blitz. This eliminates the need for mounting equipment, saves considerable setup time, and ensures professional-grade mounting that delivers optimal balance and rolling characteristics from day one.
- Why should I buy pre-mounted tyres instead of loose tyres and wheels separately? — Pre-mounted tyres offer multiple advantages: they arrive ready to install, eliminating mounting and balancing labour; they guarantee proper fitment and professional assembly quality; they save you time that could be spent driving instead of working in the workshop; and they remove any uncertainty about compatibility between tyre and wheel selections, making them ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who want hassle-free upgrades.
- How many tyres do I receive in this purchase? — This product includes two pre-mounted rear tyres, which provides the complete rear traction package for your Slash or Slash Blitz. If you need additional tyres for front fitment or spare sets, you would need to order separately or look for mixed tyre packages that include front and rear combinations.
- What is the difference between C2 compound and other available compounds? — Tyre compounds in RC racing are typically rated on a softness scale, with softer compounds providing more grip but wearing faster, and harder compounds lasting longer but gripping less. The C2 compound sits in the middle ground, making it an excellent all-purpose option that works well across diverse track conditions without being overly specialised toward any particular driving style or surface type.
