Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul Mud Block tyre and white spider spoke rim set represents carefully engineered off-road performance in a compact 1/18 scale package. Each set comprises four complete wheel assemblies measuring 69x26mm, providing the right proportion and contact patch for 1/18 scale RC buggies.
