The foam inserts are specially engineered to provide the perfect balance of aggressive grip characteristics and smooth, predictable handling, ensuring your truck maintains control even during high-speed runs across challenging terrain. The S-Block variant represents the optimised standard offering in the Copperhead2 range, delivering excellent all-round performance without compromise.
Key Features
- Aggressive Tread Pattern — The pronounced tread blocks are strategically designed to dig into loose surfaces and provide excellent traction across all off-road conditions, ensuring maximum grip whether you're driving on sand, mud, grass, or rocky ground.
- Durable Material Compound — The tyres are manufactured from a tough material formulation that resists degradation and wear, allowing them to maintain performance characteristics throughout extended driving sessions and many hours of use.
- Pre-Glued Construction — Unlike traditional RC tyres that require manual gluing and curing time, these pre-glued tyres mount directly onto wheels, eliminating setup hassles and downtime so you can get your RC truck ready to run immediately.
- Specialised Foam Inserts — The included medium compound foam inserts are engineered to work in harmony with the tyre design, absorbing impacts whilst maintaining the tyre shape and delivering consistent handling characteristics across varied terrain.
- Medium Compound Foam — This intermediate foam hardness provides an excellent balance point between maximum grip on challenging surfaces and maintained durability during long driving sessions, making these tyres versatile for different driving styles.
- Compatible with 24mm Hex Wheels — These tyres are designed to fit standard 24mm hex wheel hubs, which use steel reinforcement for strength during extreme driving action, ensuring secure mounting and reliable performance during high-speed manoeuvres.
Technical Performance
The Copperhead2 S-Block MT tyres are engineered for the demanding requirements of 1/5 scale RC trucks, particularly models like the ARRMA Kraton 8S and OUTCAST 8S platforms. With a bead diameter of 5 inches (127mm) and a width of 3.98 inches (101mm), these tyres deliver an overall outer diameter of 8 inches (203mm), providing the larger contact patch necessary for effective traction on uneven and loose terrain. The aggressive tread blocks penetrate into soft surfaces whilst the durable material compound resists tearing and maintains structural integrity even when subjected to the extreme forces generated by 8S LiPo batteries powering brushless motors on high-performance trucks. The foam inserts included with this set are medium compound, specifically selected to complement the tyre characteristics and deliver optimal performance for drivers seeking a versatile solution suitable for multiple driving environments. The pre-glued mounting system eliminates waiting times associated with traditional gluing methods, making these tyres ideal for drivers who want reliability and convenience combined with proven performance across varied off-road surfaces.
