Technical Performance
The Traxxas Hoosier Dual-Profile Dirt Oval Tyres represent a sophisticated piece of RC racing engineering. Hoosier, a brand synonymous with professional motorsport excellence, has translated decades of real-world racing experience into this 1/10 scale solution. The dual-profile construction means the tyre offers two distinct performance characteristics depending on load and track conditions, allowing drivers to extract maximum performance whether they're in the heat of competition or testing different setups. The foam inserts are carefully formulated to complement the tyre compound, providing the precise amount of sidewall compliance needed for dirt oval racing without sacrificing the responsiveness required for high-speed cornering. The tread pattern is specifically designed for dirt surfaces, featuring elements that bite into clay and soil whilst remaining predictable on compacted or slightly damp surfaces. The compound itself is selected from Hoosier's extensive racing tyre portfolio to provide the optimal balance between grip and durability, meaning you'll maintain consistent performance throughout extended practice sessions and race meetings. These tyres are engineered to work seamlessly with the Traxxas Slash Modified 1/10 Electric 2WD Dirt Oval Racer BL-2S, ensuring perfect fitment and matched performance characteristics with your vehicle's handling dynamics and power delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres compatible with my Traxxas Slash Modified dirt oval racer? — Yes, these Traxxas Hoosier Dual-Profile Dirt Oval Tyres are specifically designed for use with all colour variants of the Traxxas Slash Modified 1/10 Electric 2WD Dirt Oval Racer BL-2S, including the green, pink, blue, orange and red models. They fit directly onto the vehicle's wheel hubs and are ready to use immediately after unboxing.
- What is the difference between dual-profile tyres and standard tyres? — Dual-profile tyres feature two distinct performance zones that respond differently depending on track conditions and driving forces, providing versatility across varying dirt surfaces. This contrasts with standard single-profile tyres which offer the same characteristics throughout the tyre. The dual-profile design allows competitive dirt oval racers to use a single set of tyres across more track conditions without sacrificing performance or grip.
- Are foam inserts included with these tyres? — Yes, foam inserts are pre-mounted on these tyres and ready to use. The inserts are specifically matched to these Hoosier tyres to ensure optimal performance, sidewall support and shock absorption, eliminating the need to purchase separate foam inserts and ensuring perfect compatibility.
- How often should I replace dirt oval tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on how frequently you race, the condition of your local dirt oval track, and your driving style. Competitive racers typically replace tyres after significant wear becomes visible on the tread, when you notice reduced grip or consistency, or before important races to ensure maximum performance. Check your tyres before each racing session and replace them if the compound is glazed, flattened or showing uneven wear patterns.
- Are these genuine Hoosier tyres or copies? — These are genuine Traxxas-branded Hoosier racing tyres manufactured by Hoosier, the world-renowned racing tyre specialists. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're receiving authentic products backed by Traxxas quality standards and warranty. Buying from authorised UK retailers ensures you're not receiving counterfeit or inferior alternatives.
- What track conditions are these tyres best suited for? — These Hoosier Dual-Profile Dirt Oval Tyres are engineered specifically for dirt oval racing conditions including clay tracks, soil surfaces and compacted dirt. The dual-profile design provides versatility across different track preparations, from freshly graded surfaces to slightly damp conditions, making them suitable for a range of typical UK dirt oval racing venues.
- Do I need to do anything to prepare these tyres before use? — These tyres come with foam inserts pre-mounted and are ready to mount directly onto your Slash Modified's wheel hubs. Simply fit them to your wheels and you're ready to head to the track. No additional preparation, compound scrubbing or insert installation is required.
