Overview
Upgrade your 1/18 scale RC Mojave with the RC Overhaul On-Road Tyre w/ Black Rim (G-RCO-AR035B), the perfect solution for tarmac running without wearing out your block tread tyres. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast or exploring the world of RC car UK hobby for the first time, these specialist on-road tyres deliver the performance you need on paved surfaces. The kit keeps the aggressive short course look whilst switching to a dedicated on-road tread pattern, making these tyres ideal for anyone who wants to transition from off-road bashing to smooth tarmac runs without compromising on style.
These RC on-road tyres represent a smart upgrade for ready to run RC enthusiasts who want to protect their original tyres and extend their vehicle's versatility. The high sidewall, large profile design maintains the distinctive short course aesthetic that makes the Mojave such an eye-catching model, while the cool multi-spoke black rims add a premium finishing touch.

Key Features
- On-Road Tread Pattern — Specifically designed for tarmac and paved surfaces, the on-road tread pattern provides superior grip and control compared to block tread tyres when running on smooth ground, making these essential for anyone who regularly runs their RC car on roads or car parks.
- High Sidewall, Large Profile Design — The generously sized tyre profile maintains the authentic short course look while providing excellent ride comfort and sidewall flex on hard surfaces, absorbing impacts and vibrations that would otherwise transmit directly to your vehicle's chassis.
- Black Multi-Spoke Rims — Paired with modern black multi-spoke wheel design, these rims provide a premium appearance that complements the Mojave's aggressive styling, whilst the spoke pattern offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio for reliable performance.
- Pack of Four Wheels and Tyres — Complete set covers all four corners of your vehicle, ensuring matched grip levels and consistent handling across all wheels, which is essential for predictable and safe driving dynamics on tarmac.
- Compatible with Mojave GROM Series — Specifically engineered for the Arrma Mojave GROM range including multiple variants, these tyres drop straight onto the existing wheel hubs without requiring additional adapters or modifications.
- Protects Original Block Tread Tyres — By dedicating a separate set of tyres for tarmac running, you eliminate unnecessary wear on your block tread off-road tyres, significantly extending their lifespan and protecting your investment in the complete tyre set.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul On-Road Tyre represents a purpose-built solution for on-road running on 1/18 scale RC cars. The on-road tread pattern features intermediate groove spacing optimised for tarmac surface contact, providing superior grip levels compared to the larger blocks found on off-road tyres. The high sidewall construction offers approximately 12-15mm of sidewall height, delivering progressive compliance that absorbs tarmac imperfections whilst maintaining structural rigidity for consistent handling. The black multi-spoke rims are manufactured from durable plastic composite material, engineered to withstand the rigours of regular tarmac running whilst maintaining their aesthetic appeal. The wheel-to-tyre interface is designed for glue bonding, which when properly applied creates an extremely durable connection that remains secure even during aggressive cornering manoeuvres and high-speed runs on smooth surfaces. The overall tyre compound appears to be a medium-durometer rubber formulation, striking a balance between grip and longevity on tarmac environments. With a 1/18 scale sizing, these tyres maintain realistic proportions to the Mojave GROM chassis whilst delivering adult-level durability and performance that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The four-tyre set ensures balanced performance across the vehicle, with no need for mixed tyre compounds or grip levels that could cause unpredictable handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do these on-road tyres come pre-glued and ready to fit? — No, these tyres are supplied unglued and will require bonding to the wheels using quality tyre glue before use. This allows you to use your preferred adhesive and ensures a permanent bond when properly applied. Most users find that once glued, the tyres remain securely attached even under aggressive driving conditions and multiple battery charges.
- Will these tyres work on my Arrma Mojave GROM? — Yes, the RC Overhaul On-Road Tyre is fully compatible with all variants of the Arrma Mojave GROM range, including the 1/16 Mojave GROM 223S BLX 4x4 DT and the Mojave GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4. These are drop-fit replacements that require no chassis modifications.
- What is the difference between these on-road tyres and the standard block tread tyres? — The on-road tyre features a dedicated tread pattern with intermediate groove spacing optimised for tarmac surfaces, providing significantly better grip on paved ground compared to the larger block treads designed for loose terrain. The on-road pattern reduces tyre slip on smooth surfaces, resulting in more responsive handling and improved acceleration. Block tread tyres, whilst excellent for off-road running, wear faster on tarmac and provide less predictable handling on hard surfaces.
- How long do these tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, surface conditions, and driving style. However, dedicated on-road tyres typically outlast block tread tyres used on tarmac by a significant margin. The medium-durometer rubber compound balances grip with longevity, making these suitable for regular recreational running. Competitive drivers may need to rotate or replace tyres more frequently depending on track conditions and driving intensity.
- Can I use these tyres on other RC cars? — These tyres are specifically designed for 1/18 scale Mojave GROM vehicles. Attempting to fit them to other vehicle models may result in poor fitment, handling issues, or potential safety concerns. For compatibility with other vehicles, consult with RC Model Shop's technical team.
- What surfaces are these tyres designed for? — These tyres are optimised for on-road tarmac, asphalt, and smooth paved surfaces. They can also be used on concrete and tightly packed indoor carpet surfaces. They are not recommended for loose terrain, gravel, or dirt surfaces where block tread tyres would be more appropriate.
