Overview
The Fastrax 1:10 Crawler Boxer 1.9 Scale Tyres with Inserts represent an excellent choice for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their rock crawling and trail vehicle setups. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher exploring the world of scale off-road racing, these precision-engineered tyres are designed to deliver outstanding performance across a wide range of terrain types. The Fastrax brand has built a reputation for delivering quality components at accessible price points, and these crawler-specific tyres continue that tradition by offering genuine performance improvements without breaking the bank.
These ready-to-run replacement tyres are purpose-built for the unique demands of 1/10 scale rock crawling and trail driving. Rock crawlers require different tyre characteristics than circuit racers or high-speed bashers—they need superior grip, compliance over obstacles, and the ability to conform to irregular surfaces whilst maintaining traction. The Boxer range from Fastrax has been developed with exactly these requirements in mind, making them suitable for most scale 1/10th rock and trail vehicles in the RC hobby market. If you're looking to refresh your crawler setup or experiment with different tyre compounds, this two-pack provides excellent value and proven performance.
What sets these tyres apart from budget alternatives is the engineering that goes into every aspect of their construction. The special super-soft compound ensures maximum grip in various conditions, whilst the memory foam inserts provide the suspension-like qualities that make rock crawling such a thrilling aspect of the RC hobby. The combination of soft rubber and foam technology means your crawler will maintain contact with terrain features that might otherwise cause loss of traction, translating into better line holding and more predictable handling through technical sections.
Key Features
- Super-Soft Rubber Compound — The Boxer tyres utilise a specially formulated soft compound that maximises grip across diverse terrain types, from loose gravel to smooth rock surfaces and everything in between, giving you the confidence to tackle challenging courses without fear of wheel spin.
- Memory Foam Inserts Included — Rather than purchasing tyres and inserts separately, this package includes memory foam inserts that work in concert with the soft compound to provide compliant suspension characteristics, allowing the tyre to deform over obstacles and maintain contact with the ground for longer periods.
- Optimal Diameter and Width Specifications — With a precisely engineered diameter of 121.3mm and width of 49.1mm, these tyres are dimensionally appropriate for 1/10 scale crawlers, ensuring correct ground clearance, suspension geometry and handling characteristics on your vehicle.
- Pair Pack Offering — Sold as a pair, these tyres are ready to fit to either front or rear positions on your crawler, making them versatile for replacing a complete set or upgrading to a superior compound without the need to purchase multiple packs.
- Universal Compatibility — Designed to suit most scale 1/10th rock and trail vehicles, these Boxer tyres work with leading brands and platforms within the RC crawler community, providing flexibility in your tyre upgrade strategy.
- Proven Fastrax Quality — Fastrax has earned recognition for delivering reliable performance parts, and these crawler-specific tyres continue that reputation by offering consistent quality and predictable handling characteristics that will improve your confidence both on the track and on the trail.
Technical Performance
The engineering philosophy behind the Boxer tyre centres on delivering enhanced traction without sacrificing durability or value for money. The 121.3mm diameter sits within the ideal range for 1/10 scale crawlers, providing appropriate ride height and ensuring your chassis maintains proper suspension geometry for optimal performance. The 49.1mm width strikes a balance between ground contact area and steering response—wide enough to provide substantial grip for crawling situations, yet narrow enough to maintain the agility required for technical manoeuvres through tight spaces. The memory foam inserts represent genuine suspension engineering in rubber form; unlike solid inserts that simply hold the tyre on the wheel, these foam inserts compress and rebound, effectively adding a secondary suspension layer that helps absorb impacts from rocks, roots and other trail obstacles. This compliance characteristic is particularly valuable when navigating extremely technical terrain where maintaining wheel contact with the ground often makes the difference between success and becoming stuck. The super-soft compound works hand-in-hand with the foam inserts, providing exceptional grip through chemical adhesion whilst the foam provides mechanical shock absorption. This combination means better ground contact, improved traction, more predictable handling, and ultimately faster, more enjoyable crawling sessions. For UK RC enthusiasts exploring everything from indoor rock crawling courses to outdoor natural terrain challenges, these tyres deliver measurable performance improvements over standard harder compounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Fastrax Boxer crawler tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These tyres are designed for most 1/10 scale rock and trail vehicles, making them accessible to newcomers to the rock crawling scene. The soft compound and foam inserts actually make vehicles easier to control through technical sections, as they provide superior grip and ground contact. If you're just getting started with RC crawlers in the UK, upgrading to quality tyres like these will noticeably improve your confidence and enjoyment.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — The Boxer tyres are engineered as universal replacements for most 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail vehicles. They work with platforms from major manufacturers, though you should verify the wheel fitment specifications for your specific model. If you're uncertain about compatibility, speak with our team at RC Model Shop who can advise on fitment.
- What is the difference between these Boxer tyres and other Fastrax crawler options? — The Boxer range specifically combines super-soft compound rubber with memory foam inserts in a single package, designed to deliver excellent performance across varied terrain types. This makes them a versatile choice for general-purpose crawling, whilst specialist options might focus on particular terrain types or driving styles.
- Do I need to do anything to the inserts before use? — The memory foam inserts come ready to use. Simply mount them on your wheels and fit the Boxer tyres over them. No additional preparation or modification is required, making installation straightforward for users of all experience levels.
- How long do crawler tyres like these typically last? — Tyre longevity depends heavily on usage patterns, terrain type and driving style. Soft compound tyres like the Boxer will generally wear faster than harder compounds due to their increased grip, but this is a worthwhile trade-off for the performance benefits they provide. Regular inspection for damage and maintaining appropriate tyre pressure will help maximise their lifespan.
- Can I use these tyres in wet conditions? — Yes, the soft compound and memory foam inserts actually perform well in damp conditions, as the rubber provides excellent grip on wet rock and muddy terrain. However, ensure your RC vehicle's electronics are appropriately weatherproofed if you plan to operate in wet environments.
