- Factory-Mounted Configuration — These tyres arrive pre-mounted to genuine 12mm hex wheels, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual tyre mounting and ensuring perfectly balanced installation ready for immediate use.
- Durable Black Chrome Wheel Composite — The wheels are moulded from a robust black chrome composite plastic that combines visual appeal with genuine durability, resisting impacts and everyday wear whilst maintaining a professional appearance that complements any scale crawler build.
- Foam Inserts Included — Foam inserts are pre-installed within the tyres, providing structural support and shape retention during aggressive driving, ensuring the tyres maintain their profile and performance characteristics throughout their lifespan.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on your crawler, providing design flexibility and allowing you to purchase a single set to cover your entire vehicle or mix and match with other Duratrax options.

Technical Performance
The Duratrax Class 1 Showdown CR C3 Mounted tyres represent genuine engineering focused on real-world rock crawling performance. The super-soft C3 compound rubber has been specifically formulated to provide maximum grip on loose, slippery and muddy terrain where standard harder compounds simply cannot maintain traction. The aggressive tread pattern works in conjunction with the compliant rubber to create a tyre that genuinely bites into obstacles rather than sliding over them. At 4.19 inches outer diameter with a 1.9 inch inner wheel size, the geometry is optimised for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, providing the right balance between scale appearance and practical ground clearance. The factory mounting onto 12mm hex wheels eliminates the variability of hand-mounting and ensures perfectly balanced, true-running tyres from the moment you remove them from the box. The black chrome composite plastic wheels combine visual impact with genuine durability, resisting the inevitable impacts and abrasions that come with serious climbing. The included foam inserts provide internal structure that maintains tyre profile during driving whilst absorbing impacts and vibration. For UK RC enthusiasts serious about rock crawling performance, these mounted tyres deliver professional-grade engineering in an immediately usable format.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for 1/10 scale RC crawlers? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed for 1/10 scale rock crawlers. The Class 1 size classification (4.19 inch outer diameter) with 1.9 inch inner wheel diameter is the standard for 1/10 scale vehicles, making them ideal for vehicles in this scale category.
- What makes the C3 compound better for rock crawling? — The super-soft C3 compound is significantly more compliant than harder tyre compounds, allowing it to deform and conform to loose, muddy and rocky terrain. This compliance generates exceptional grip on slippery surfaces where standard harder compounds would slip. If you regularly climb over rocks or mud, the C3 compound will noticeably improve your performance.
- Do I need to mount these tyres myself? — No, these tyres arrive factory-mounted onto 12mm hex wheels, ready to install directly onto your RC crawler. There is no mounting or balancing required, meaning you can fit them to your vehicle in minutes.
- Can I use these tyres on both front and rear? — Yes, these tyres are suitable for front and rear positions, giving you flexibility in how you configure your crawler. You can purchase multiple sets to cover all four wheels or mix and match with other Duratrax tyre models.
- What is the difference between Showdown and other Duratrax Class 1 models? — Duratrax offers several Class 1 models including the Ascend, PIVOT and Scaler, each with different tread patterns optimised for specific terrain. The Showdown features an aggressive tread pattern specifically engineered for maximum grip on loose and muddy surfaces, making it ideal for technical rock crawling over softer terrain. The Scaler offers a different tread pattern optimised for different conditions, and the PIVOT and Ascend provide additional options for varying terrain preferences.
- Are these tyres durable for regular use? — These tyres are constructed from quality rubber and moulded wheels, but like all tyres, they will experience wear with regular use. The rate of wear depends on driving style, terrain and frequency of use. The super-soft C3 compound will wear faster than harder compounds, which is a natural trade-off for the exceptional grip provided.
