Key Features
- Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 Design — The Bighorn line is a recognised tyre profile in the RC hobby, engineered with an aggressive tread pattern that delivers superior bite and traction across natural terrain, rocky surfaces, and mixed ground conditions. This proven design has earned trust among serious RC operators.
- S30 Soft Compound — The soft rubber compound classification (S30) provides enhanced grip and conformability compared to harder compounds, which is particularly valuable when operating across loose, uneven, or slippery surfaces where maximum traction is essential for predictable handling and improved obstacle negotiation.
- 1.2 1.55 Sizing — These tyres are sized specifically to fit compatible Axial RC models, ensuring proper fitment without modification. The dimensions are engineered to work seamlessly with related suspension and drivetrain geometry for balanced performance characteristics.
- Supplied in Pairs — Each package contains two complete tyres, which is the standard replacement quantity for most RC vehicles and allows you to refresh multiple wheels or keep spares readily available for extended running sessions or competitive events.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an official Axial part, these tyres maintain the quality standards and engineering specifications established by the manufacturer, ensuring compatibility and performance consistency with your existing vehicle setup.
Technical Performance
The Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tyres in S30 compound represent a purpose-built rolling solution for RC operators seeking enhanced traction and consistent handling across challenging terrain. The soft S30 compound material is deliberately formulated to provide superior grip characteristics, which is particularly important when operating your RC car across uneven, loose, or slippery surfaces where harder compounds would lose contact or slip. The aggressive tread pattern visible on the Bighorn 2.0 design channels dirt, debris, and water away from the contact patch while maximising the number of tread edges available to bite into terrain, directly improving acceleration traction, braking control, and cornering grip. The 1.2 1.55 dimensions are precisely engineered within Axial's suspension and drivetrain specifications, meaning these tyres will work in harmony with your vehicle's existing geometry, geometry settings, and performance tuning. The Bighorn line has been proven in the hands of RC enthusiasts worldwide, with operators reporting reliable performance across extended running sessions, competitive events, and recreational driving. Tyre selection is often an underestimated factor in overall RC vehicle performance; upgrading to premium tyres like the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 S30 compounds can noticeably improve how your RC car feels, responds, and performs across varied terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my Axial RC car? — These tyres are manufactured as official Axial parts and are engineered to fit compatible Axial models. The 1.2 1.55 sizing refers to the specific dimensions designed for Axial RC vehicles. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team to confirm exact fitment compatibility with your specific model.
- What does the S30 compound mean? — The S30 designation indicates a soft rubber compound formulation. Soft compounds provide superior grip and traction compared to harder compounds, making them ideal for varied terrain, loose surfaces, and situations where maximum traction is the priority. The trade-off is that soft compounds typically wear faster under sustained high-speed running compared to harder alternatives, making them an excellent choice for traction-focused driving rather than speed-focused applications.
- Can I use these tyres for racing? — Yes, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 S30 compounds are suitable for competitive use. Many serious RC operators and competitors choose Maxxis tyres for their reliability and consistent performance. The soft compound provides excellent traction for technical terrain where precise grip is essential, making them particularly suited to crawler courses, trail driving, and obstacle-based competition formats rather than flat-track racing.
- How often should I replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on terrain type, running style, and surface conditions. Soft compounds like the S30 will wear faster than harder compounds, particularly on abrasive surfaces or during extended high-speed running. If you run frequently, inspect your tyres regularly for wear, loss of tread definition, or flat-spotting. Many operators keep spare sets available for different terrain types or competitive rounds.
- Do these come with wheels attached? — No, this product contains only the tyres themselves. You will need compatible wheels to mount these tyres. Axial offers several wheel options engineered for compatibility with these tyre sizes, and our team can advise on suitable wheel selections for your vehicle and intended use.
