These genuine ARRMA parts are engineered to deliver outstanding traction and durability on a wide range of off-road surfaces, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to upgrade or maintain their 1/8 scale RC monster truck. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or dedicated hobbyist exploring the world of high-performance RC vehicles, these Copperhead2 LP tyres represent a significant step up in grip, control and reliability.
Built with an aggressive tread pattern and durable material compound, the Copperhead2 LP tyres excel on loose, soft and moderately rough terrain.

If you're searching for quality replacement tyres for your RC truck UK, these ARRMA-branded components offer the performance and longevity that serious RC car enthusiasts have come to expect from this trusted manufacturer.
At 3.8 inches (96mm bead diameter) and 6.14 inches (156mm outer diameter), these tyres are specifically designed for 1/8 scale trucks and are compatible with 3.8-inch wheels such as the ARRMA #AR510111. This product comes as a matched pair of tyres with matching foam inserts, ensuring balanced handling and consistent performance across both front and rear axles of your ready to run RC or custom-built machine.
Key Features
- Aggressive Tread Pattern — The distinctive tread design cuts through loose dirt, sand and gravel with excellent bite, providing the traction needed to maintain speed and control even on challenging off-road surfaces where standard tyres would lose grip.
- Durable Material Compound — These tyres are constructed from a tough, hard-wearing rubber formula that resists excessive wear during intense driving sessions, meaning you get more hours of reliable performance before needing replacement.
- Medium Compound Foam Inserts Included — The foam inserts supplied with this pack offer the right balance of support and compliance, helping to absorb impacts from rough terrain whilst maintaining tyre shape during hard cornering and high-speed runs.
- 1/8 Scale Truck Compatibility — Engineered specifically for 1/8 scale vehicles including the ARRMA Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX and ARRMA OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance with these popular monster trucks.
- Matched Pair with Inserts — Each pack contains 2 complete tyres with 2 foam inserts, providing everything needed for a straightforward tyre upgrade or replacement on both front and rear positions of your RC truck.
Technical Performance
The Copperhead2 LP represents a refined approach to off-road tyre design, engineered to deliver predictable handling characteristics across varied terrain. With a bead diameter of 3.8 inches (96mm) and a width of 2.95 inches (75mm), these tyres offer a footprint that balances ground contact with weight distribution. The outer diameter of 6.14 inches (156mm) ensures proper ride height and suspension geometry when fitted to compatible 3.8-inch wheels. The foam inserts play a crucial role in the overall performance equation; the medium compound specification provides adequate sidewall support to prevent excessive tyre rollover during aggressive cornering, whilst still offering sufficient compliance to absorb the shock loads generated by rough terrain. This engineering philosophy means the Copperhead2 LP tyres work harmoniously with the suspension geometry of 1/8 scale trucks like the Kraton 4S and OUTCAST 4S, delivering stable, predictable handling whether you're racing on a prepared circuit or bashing through rough natural terrain. The durable material compound is specifically formulated to withstand the punishment of repetitive impact and abrasion, extending the operational life of the tyres and delivering better value for dedicated RC enthusiasts who use their vehicles regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my ARRMA truck? — Yes, the Z-ARA520060 is compatible with several ARRMA models including the 1/10 Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck and the 1/10 OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck. However, please note that these are 1/8 scale tyres designed for 3.8-inch wheels, so you'll need to verify your specific truck's wheel size before purchasing. Always check your vehicle documentation to confirm wheel compatibility.
- Do I need to buy wheels separately? — Yes, these are tyres and foam inserts only. You will need 3.8-inch wheels such as the ARRMA #AR510111 to mount these tyres. Wheels are sold separately and must be purchased to complete your setup. Ensure you select wheels specifically rated for 1/8 scale use to guarantee proper fitment and performance.
- What makes the Copperhead2 LP different from other RC tyres? — The Copperhead2 LP features an aggressive tread pattern specifically designed for loose and soft terrain, combined with a durable material compound for extended lifespan. The inclusion of medium compound foam inserts provides the right balance of support and impact absorption for serious off-road use, making them a complete solution rather than tyres alone.
- Can I use these tyres for both racing and casual bashing? — Absolutely. The Copperhead2 LP is versatile enough for competitive racing where traction and consistency matter, and equally at home for weekend bashing sessions where durability is essential. The durable material compound ensures they'll handle both scenarios without premature wear.
- How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, terrain type and maintenance, but the Copperhead2 LP's durable material compound extends operational life compared to softer compounds. Regular inspection for wear and proper storage between sessions will help maximise their longevity.
- Are foam inserts necessary, or can I use these tyres without them? — Foam inserts are essential for proper tyre performance in RC vehicles. They provide crucial sidewall support and impact absorption. Using tyres without inserts can result in unpredictable handling, poor cornering stability and potential tyre damage. Always use appropriate foam inserts for your driving style.
