The combination of super-soft rubber, aggressive tread design, and proven engineering makes this an excellent investment for anyone serious about maximising their RC crawler's performance on challenging terrain.
Key Features
- Class 1 Scale Size (4.19" Outer Diameter) — The Class 1 sizing provides maximum scale appearance that appeals to scale-minded RC enthusiasts, ensuring your RC crawler looks as authentic as possible whilst maintaining proper ground clearance and obstacle-clearing capability on real terrain.
- Super-Soft C3 Compound Rubber — The C3 compound offers exceptional gripping power and flexibility, allowing the tyre to deform and conform around uneven surfaces such as loose gravel, muddy terrain, and rocky obstacles that would cause standard tyres to lose traction.
- Aggressive Tread Design — The biting tread pattern is specifically engineered to dig into loose or muddy surfaces, providing the extra purchase needed for climbing over slippery rocks and navigating through the toughest obstacles encountered during RC crawling.
- Factory-Mounted Configuration — These tyres arrive pre-mounted onto durable black composite plastic wheels with 12mm hex fittings, eliminating the need for separate tyre and wheel purchases and allowing immediate use out of the box.
- Foam Inserts Included — The integrated foam inserts provide essential structural support and dampening, preventing the tyre from collapsing under load whilst maintaining the compliance needed for smooth performance over challenging terrain.
- 12mm Hex Wheel Fittings — The universal 12mm hex connection system ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC crawlers and scalers available in the UK market, making these a versatile upgrade option for numerous vehicle platforms.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on your RC crawler, providing consistency across your vehicle's footprint and allowing easier replacement when needed.
- Sold as Matched Pair — The set includes two identically-manufactured tyres, ensuring consistent grip and handling characteristics across your RC vehicle's wheel positions.
Technical Performance
The Duratrax Class 1 Scaler CR C3 tyres represent the culmination of professional-grade RC tyre engineering tailored for crawling applications. The 4.19-inch (106mm) outer diameter combined with the 1.9-inch wheel diameter creates optimal proportions for scale appearance without compromising the ground clearance necessary for obstacle negotiation. The super-soft C3 compound rubber is substantially more compliant than standard recreational RC tyres, allowing significant deformation when encountering rocks, roots, and uneven terrain whilst maintaining structural integrity through the integrated foam inserts. This engineering approach has been refined through extensive testing on real rock courses and technical terrain, resulting in a product that delivers measurable performance improvements in traction, control, and obstacle-clearing capability. The durable black composite plastic wheels are injection-moulded to withstand the significant lateral and impact forces generated during aggressive crawling, whilst the 12mm hex interface provides secure mounting to standard RC crawler chassis. The aggressive tread pattern is not merely cosmetic; each groove and land has been positioned to maximise contact patch deformation and bite into various surface types from hard-packed earth to loose gravel and wet mud. These specifications combine to create a tyre system that performs exceptionally on UK terrain, from the clay-heavy tracks in the Midlands to the rocky challenges found in Welsh and Scottish locations favoured by the RC crawling community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What scale are these Duratrax tyres suitable for? — These are Class 1 tyres designed specifically for 1/10 scale RC crawlers and scalers. The 1.9-inch wheel diameter and 4.19-inch outer diameter are engineered for this scale category, making them ideal upgrades for 1/10 scale vehicles rather than smaller 1/16 or larger 1/8 scale models.
- Will these tyres fit my RC crawler? — These tyres feature universal 12mm hex fittings, which means they are compatible with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC crawlers available in the UK. They work on both front and rear positions, though you should verify your vehicle uses 12mm hex wheel adapters before purchasing.
- What makes the C3 compound different from standard RC tyres? — The super-soft C3 rubber compound is significantly more pliable than standard recreational RC tyres, allowing greater deformation when encountering obstacles. This compliance translates to improved grip on loose, muddy, and rocky surfaces whilst sacrificing some wear resistance compared to harder compounds—a worthwhile trade-off for serious crawling performance.
- Are these pre-mounted tyres ready to use immediately? — Yes, these tyres arrive factory-mounted to wheels with foam inserts already installed. You simply need to attach them to your RC crawler using the 12mm hex fittings; no additional assembly or tyre mounting is required.
- How do these compare to other crawler tyres? — The Class 1 sizing prioritises scale appearance more than some standard crawler tyres, making them popular with scale-conscious enthusiasts who value authentic proportions. The super-soft C3 compound provides exceptional grip on technical terrain, though this softer rubber may wear faster under sustained use compared to intermediate compounds.
- Can I use these tyres for high-speed bashing? — These tyres are specifically engineered for crawling and technical driving rather than high-speed applications. The soft compound and aggressive tread design prioritise grip on challenging terrain over speed performance, making them unsuitable for racing or fast-paced recreational driving.
- What terrain performs best with these tyres? — The aggressive tread and soft compound excel on loose, muddy, and rocky surfaces where standard tyres struggle. They provide exceptional performance on technical courses, natural terrain, and obstacle-heavy environments typical of UK RC crawling venues.
