Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Mud Block tyre set represents a serious upgrade for your 1/18 scale off-road buggy. The speed block tread pattern is engineered with aggressive knobs that bite into soft surfaces, providing the traction necessary for technical off-road courses where mud, sand and loose dirt dominate. The tyre compound and tread design work together to deliver reliable performance across multiple surface types, whether you're racing on a prepared track or exploring rough terrain during weekend bashing sessions. The red, 10-spoke rim is manufactured to exacting standards, providing a lightweight yet rigid structure that resists deformation under cornering forces whilst maintaining the aesthetic impact that makes your RC buggy stand out from the crowd. The 69x26mm dimensions ensure proper fitment to 1/18 scale chassis geometry, maintaining correct suspension ride height and preventing issues with rubbing or clearance problems. The unglued supply means you have complete control over the assembly process — you can select the appropriate tyre glue based on your specific driving conditions and preferences, whether you favour maximum grip for competition or slightly easier breakaway for recreational fun.
