Overview
The Duratrax Class 1 PIVOT CR C3 Mounted 1.9 inch Black tyres represent premium-grade rubber solutions specifically engineered for serious rock crawlers and scale RC vehicles. Whether you're navigating demanding terrain across the UK or tackling challenging obstacle courses, these pre-mounted tyre and wheel combinations deliver the performance characteristics that experienced RC enthusiasts demand. The PIVOT range from Duratrax has earned recognition among the RC community for combining authentic scale appearance with genuine off-road capability, making these tyres ideal for anyone seeking a balanced setup that performs as impressively as it looks.
These Class 1 tyres are purpose-built for rock crawlers and similar scale RC vehicles that require exceptional grip and control. The factory-mounted configuration means you can install them immediately without additional preparation, saving time and ensuring professional fitment from the outset. For RC car UK enthusiasts exploring ready-to-run setups or upgrading existing platforms, these Duratrax tyres offer a proven upgrade path that dramatically enhances traction and confidence on loose, muddy, and rocky surfaces.
Sold as a pair, each set includes foam inserts and arrives mounted to durable composite wheels with 12mm hex hubs, offering complete compatibility with standard 1/10 scale rock crawler platforms. The aggressive tread pattern is specifically designed to bite into challenging terrain, making these tyres equally at home climbing over obstacles, navigating steep grades, or powering through mud and loose gravel. If you're serious about getting the most from your RC crawler experience, the PIVOT CR C3 represents an investment in genuine performance.
Key Features
- Super-Soft C3 Compound Rubber — The C3 compound formulation provides exceptional softness and flexibility, allowing the tyre sidewalls to conform to irregular terrain and maximise contact patch area on loose or rocky surfaces, delivering superior grip compared to harder tyre compounds commonly found on entry-level RC models.
- Aggressive Tread Pattern — The prominent knobby tread design features deep grooves and angular edges that actively bite into mud, loose dirt, and gravel, providing the traction necessary for climbing steep inclines and navigating through challenging off-road conditions that would defeat standard RC car tyres.
- Class 1 Scale Sizing (4.19 inch Outer Diameter) — The Class 1 proportions deliver authentic scale appearance whilst the 1.9 inch inner diameter wheel hub ensures proper fitment on standard rock crawler platforms, striking the ideal balance between visual authenticity and practical performance.
- Factory-Mounted Configuration — Arriving pre-mounted on black composite plastic wheels with 12mm hex hubs eliminates fitment uncertainty and installation delays, allowing immediate deployment on compatible RC crawler platforms without additional equipment or technical knowledge required.
- Foam Insert Technology — Integrated foam inserts provide structural support and damping characteristics that improve overall handling response, reduce tyre deformation during aggressive driving, and extend tyre lifespan through better weight distribution and impact absorption.
- Durable Black Composite Wheels — The wheel hubs are moulded from robust composite plastic engineered to withstand impact forces and rocky terrain without cracking or deforming, offering reliability across multiple driving sessions whilst maintaining consistent performance characteristics.
- 12mm Hex Hub Standard — The universal 12mm hex connection ensures seamless integration with the vast majority of 1/10 scale rock crawlers and compatible platforms available in the UK RC market, eliminating compatibility concerns and allowing immediate installation.
- Sold in Pairs — Each package includes two complete mounted tyre and wheel assemblies, providing either a full front and rear setup replacement or enabling easy rotation and maintenance strategies across your RC vehicle collection.
Technical Performance
The Duratrax PIVOT CR C3 tyres embody engineering specifically tailored for rock crawling and scale RC applications. The super-soft C3 compound represents the softer end of tyre hardness ratings, a deliberate choice that enables the rubber to absorb and conform to uneven terrain rather than bouncing over obstacles. This characteristic proves invaluable when navigating rocky surfaces where tyre flex and sidewall compliance directly correlate with maintaining traction and vehicle control. The aggressive tread pattern incorporates deep, widely-spaced knobs that penetrate loose substrates and mud rather than compressing and sliding, a design philosophy fundamentally different from street or racing-oriented RC tyres. The foam inserts provide structural support that prevents complete tyre rollover during extreme articulation whilst maintaining the sidewall compliance necessary for excellent off-road performance. Mounted on durable black composite wheels featuring the industry-standard 12mm hex connection, these tyres arrive ready for immediate installation on compatible 1/10 scale platforms. The Class 1 sizing (4.19 inch outer diameter) provides authentic proportional appearance whilst the 1.9 inch inner diameter ensures correct fitment on standard rock crawler hubs. Manufacturing quality reflects Duratrax's reputation within the RC enthusiast community, with consistent construction and material quality across production batches.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for rock crawlers and scale RC vehicles? — Yes, these Duratrax PIVOT CR C3 tyres are specifically engineered for rock crawling and scale RC applications. The super-soft C3 compound and aggressive tread pattern are optimised for gripping loose, muddy, and rocky terrain. The Class 1 sizing delivers both authentic scale appearance and genuine off-road performance, making them ideal for dedicated crawlers rather than high-speed or racing-focused platforms.
- Do I need to mount these tyres myself? — No, the PIVOT CR C3 tyres arrive factory-mounted on black composite wheels with 12mm hex hubs, ready for immediate installation. This pre-mounted configuration eliminates fitment complexity and ensures professional-quality assembly from the manufacturer. Simply install the wheel and tyre assembly onto your RC vehicle's hex hubs and you're ready to drive.
- What is the difference between the C3 compound and other tyre hardness options? — The C3 compound represents a super-soft rubber formulation specifically chosen for off-road and rock crawling applications. Softer compounds flex and conform to irregular terrain better than harder alternatives, maximising contact patch area and improving grip on loose or muddy surfaces. However, soft compounds typically wear faster than intermediate or hard compounds, making them ideal for off-road use rather than high-mileage street driving.
- Will these tyres fit my 1/10 scale rock crawler? — These tyres feature the industry-standard 12mm hex hub size and are designed for 1/10 scale platforms, making them compatible with the vast majority of modern rock crawlers. The 1.9 inch inner diameter wheel matches standard 1/10 scale proportions. If your vehicle uses non-standard hub configurations or significantly different sizing, compatibility may vary, so verify your vehicle specifications before purchasing.
- Are foam inserts included with these tyres? — Yes, foam inserts are integrated into each pre-mounted tyre assembly. These inserts provide structural support, damping characteristics, and improved handling response. The foam prevents excessive tyre deformation during aggressive driving and helps distribute impact forces more evenly across the tyre structure, extending overall lifespan.
- What terrain are these tyres best suited for? — The aggressive knobby tread pattern and super-soft C3 compound excel on loose, muddy, and rocky terrain. The deep grooves bite effectively into gravel, dirt, and uneven surfaces where standard RC tyres would struggle. These characteristics make them particularly effective for rock crawling, obstacle courses, and challenging off-road conditions. They are less optimised for smooth surfaces or high-speed driving.
- Do I need any additional equipment to install these tyres? — No, since these tyres arrive factory-mounted on 12mm hex wheels, installation requires only standard RC tools or toolless installation depending on your vehicle design. You should have basic wheel removal and installation tools available, but no specialist tyre fitting equipment is necessary. The pre-mounted design simplifies the entire process.
