Overview
The Traxxas Tyres, SCT Dual Profile (1 Each, Right and Left) TRX7071 are premium off-road racing tyres designed specifically for 1/10 scale Short Course Truck (SCT) wheels. These high-performance tyres are engineered to deliver excellent traction and durability, making them an essential upgrade for any serious RC enthusiast running a 1/10 SCT in the UK RC car market. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road trails or a competitive racer pushing your vehicle to its limits, these Kumho-moulded tyres provide the grip and reliability you need to stay ahead of the competition.
Constructed from ultra-soft S1 compound rubber, these tyres are specifically formulated for maximum road-racing grip and off-road performance. The innovative dual profile design features an outer diameter of 2.2 inches and an inner diameter of 3.0 inches, allowing them to fit a wider range of SCT wheel configurations. This versatility makes them an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts who want to optimise their vehicle's handling across different track conditions and terrain types. The 4.3-inch by 1.7-inch tyre dimensions provide substantial contact area for improved traction and stability during high-speed cornering and aggressive driving.
Each pack includes a pair of foam inserts, which are crucial for maintaining tyre shape and providing consistent performance throughout extended driving sessions. These inserts help absorb impacts from rough terrain and prevent tyre deformation under load, ensuring your vehicle maintains predictable handling characteristics whether you're racing on a prepared track or bashing through natural off-road courses. With their proven performance record in the competitive RC racing community, these Traxxas tyres represent excellent value for 1/10 scale SCT owners across the United Kingdom.
Key Features
- Ultra-soft S1 compound rubber — The tyres are moulded from premium-grade S1 compound rubber specifically engineered to provide maximum grip and traction on both road-racing surfaces and off-road terrain, giving you confidence in every manoeuvre and helping you maintain control during aggressive driving and competitive racing.
- Dual profile design — The innovative dual profile outer and inner diameter configuration (2.2-inch outer, 3.0-inch inner) means these tyres are compatible with a wider range of SCT wheels, offering flexibility for drivers who run multiple vehicle setups or want to experiment with different wheel choices without needing different tyre sets.
- Generous tyre dimensions — Measuring 4.3 inches by 1.7 inches, these tyres provide substantial contact area with the ground, which translates to improved traction, better cornering grip, and more stable handling characteristics across varied terrain and track conditions.
- Included foam inserts — Each pair comes complete with foam inserts that maintain tyre shape, absorb terrain impacts, prevent tyre deformation under heavy loads, and ensure consistent and predictable performance throughout extended driving sessions and multiple heat races.
- Authentic Kumho construction — These are replica Kumho tyres, ensuring genuine engineering and quality construction that meets the standards expected by serious RC racing enthusiasts and competitive drivers across the UK RC hobby community.
- Off-road racing specialisation — Specifically designed for off-road racing applications, these tyres excel on natural terrain, dirt tracks, and challenging outdoor courses, making them the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts who want to push their 1/10 SCT to the limit.
- Sold as a pair — The pack includes both left and right tyres, giving you a matched set ready to install on your vehicle without the need to purchase additional components or mix-and-match from different product lines.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Tyres TRX7071 represent the pinnacle of off-road tyre engineering for 1/10 scale Short Course Trucks. The ultra-soft S1 compound rubber is engineered specifically for off-road racing grip, providing the microscopic surface texture and material consistency needed to maintain traction across varied terrain including hard-packed dirt, loose gravel, clay, and grass. The dual profile design accommodates both 2.2-inch and 3.0-inch wheel diameters, offering unprecedented versatility for drivers running different SCT platforms. The 4.3-inch by 1.7-inch dimensions create a larger contact patch than standard tyres, which distributes vehicle weight more evenly and reduces ground pressure, allowing your 1/10 scale RC truck to maintain better traction on soft or loose surfaces. The included foam inserts are precisely engineered to match the tyre profile and provide optimal support throughout the tyre's internal structure. This engineering approach prevents the common problems of tyre squirm, sidewall collapse under cornering forces, and uneven wear patterns that can plague lower-quality tyres. The combination of premium compound, thoughtful construction, and included inserts ensures consistent lap times, predictable handling, and extended tyre lifespan even under the demanding conditions of competitive racing or aggressive weekend bashing.
