Overview

Keep your RC crawler or trail rig performing at its best in wet conditions with the RC Overhaul Gel Tyre Insert, 1.9 inch Blue 108x42mm (Pk4). These specialist gel inserts are engineered to transform how your RC car handles all-weather running, delivering the grip and support your vehicle needs whether you're tackling muddy terrain, wet tracks, or challenging trail courses. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast in the UK or someone just discovering the world of remote controlled vehicles, these gel tyre inserts represent a significant upgrade over traditional foam inserts, particularly if you regularly run your RC crawler in damp or wet conditions.

Water ingress has long been the enemy of foam tyre inserts, causing them to absorb moisture, lose structural integrity, and critically, lose grip when you need it most. The RC Overhaul Gel Tyre Inserts solve this problem completely. By switching from foam to gel inserts, you're investing in tyres that maintain their performance characteristics no matter what the weather throws at you. These are the inserts that serious RC hobbyists choose when they want to run their crawlers and trail rigs through genuine off-road conditions without worrying about water damage to their equipment. The 1.9-inch size makes them compatible with a wide range of popular RC crawler and trail tyres currently available in the UK RC market.

With four inserts supplied in each pack, you have a complete set ready to install into your 1.9-inch tyres immediately. The bright blue colour makes them easy to identify and manage, and at just 108 x 42mm per insert, they're precision-engineered to fit perfectly into tyres of the correct dimensions. If you run a serious RC crawler setup or trail rig and want to maximise grip and performance in challenging wet conditions, these gel tyre inserts from RC Overhaul deliver exactly what you need.

Key Features

• Gel Construction for All-Weather Performance — Unlike traditional foam inserts that absorb water and lose grip, these gel inserts are specifically formulated to resist water ingress, meaning your tyres perform consistently whether conditions are dry, damp, or soaking wet. This is essential for RC crawlers and trail rigs that are frequently run in challenging outdoor conditions.
• Superior Water Resistance Compared to Foam — The primary advantage of gel over foam is that gel does not absorb water like foam does. Water ingress into foam inserts causes them to swell, lose shape, and critically, lose the traction your vehicle needs. Gel inserts maintain their structural integrity and grip even when exposed to moisture and water.
• Designed for 1.9-Inch Tyres — These inserts are precisely engineered to fit 1.9-inch tyre sizes, making them compatible with a broad range of popular RC crawler and trail tyres available through UK RC retailers and manufacturers. The 108 x 42mm dimensions ensure a perfect fit in tyres designed for inserts of this size.
• Pack of Four Inserts — You receive four inserts per pack, providing enough to outfit a complete set of tyres for most standard RC crawler and trail rig configurations. This represents excellent value when you consider the performance benefit of switching from foam to gel across all four wheels.
• Bright Blue Colour for Easy Identification — The distinctive blue colouring makes these inserts instantly recognisable, helping you keep track of which inserts are installed and which are spare, and making it simple to identify them in your RC toolkit or spares box.
• Easy Installation and Replacement — Simply remove your existing foam inserts and replace them with these gel inserts. No special tools or expertise required—if you can change a tyre, you can install these inserts. Perfect for upgrading an existing RC crawler setup or maintaining your current vehicle.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Gel Tyre Inserts represent a step forward in tyre insert technology for serious RC enthusiasts. Measuring precisely 108 x 42mm, they are engineered to fit 1.9-inch RC crawler and trail tyres with accuracy and consistency. The gel compound used in these inserts is fundamentally different from traditional foam insert materials. Gel resists water absorption at a molecular level, which means it maintains its shape, rigidity, and support characteristics even when exposed to damp ground, muddy tracks, water crossings, and wet weather conditions that would cause foam inserts to become waterlogged and lose performance. The gel formulation provides reliable support for all-weather running, whether you're competing in organised RC events, running casual weekend bash sessions, or tackling serious trail courses. Each insert is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure consistent performance across all four tyres in your pack. By switching from foam to gel inserts, you're making a technical upgrade that directly impacts your vehicle's grip, stability, and predictability in wet conditions—factors that matter whether you're pushing for competition-level performance or simply wanting your RC crawler to handle better on challenging terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the main difference between gel tyre inserts and foam inserts for RC crawlers? — Gel inserts are specifically designed to resist water ingress, whereas foam inserts absorb water like a sponge. When foam inserts get wet, they swell, lose their shape, and critically lose grip. Gel inserts maintain their performance characteristics in wet conditions, making them ideal for RC crawlers and trail rigs that run in damp or wet weather. If you frequently run your RC vehicle in wet conditions, gel inserts represent a significant performance upgrade.
• Are these gel inserts suitable for all-weather RC crawler use? — Yes, absolutely. These RC Overhaul Gel Tyre Inserts are specifically engineered for all-weather running. The gel compound resists water ingress, meaning your tyres maintain grip and support in wet conditions where foam inserts would fail. They're ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who want to run their crawlers year-round without worrying about water damage.
• What tyre sizes are these inserts compatible with? — These inserts are designed for 1.9-inch tyre sizes. At 108 x 42mm, they fit RC crawler and trail tyres manufactured to accept inserts of these dimensions. Check your tyre specifications to ensure compatibility before purchase. If your tyres are designed for 1.9-inch inserts with approximately 108 x 42mm dimensions, these will fit perfectly.
• Do I need any tools to install these gel inserts? — No special tools are required. Simply remove your existing foam inserts from your tyres and install the gel inserts in their place. If you can change a tyre on your RC vehicle, you can install these inserts. The installation process takes just minutes per tyre.
• Can I use these gel inserts on both front and rear tyres? — Yes. These gel inserts can be used on both front and rear positions on your RC crawler or trail rig. The 108 x 42mm size is suitable for any 1.9-inch tyre location on your vehicle.
• How long will a pack of four inserts last? — Gel inserts are durable and will last for extended periods of use. The lifespan depends on how intensively you run your RC vehicle and the terrain conditions. In normal use, gel inserts outlast foam inserts because they don't degrade from water absorption. When inserts eventually wear out or compress, simply replace them with a new pack.
• Are these the same as RC Overhaul gel inserts sold elsewhere? — Yes. The RC Overhaul Gel Tyre Insert, 1.9 inch Blue 108x42mm (Pk4) with part number G-RCO-CR028BL is the genuine RC Overhaul product, manufactured to the brand's specifications for performance and durability in all-weather RC running.
