Overview
The RC Overhaul 1/16 MT Wheel & Tyre set (Model G-RCO-UN13BK) is an essential replacement or upgrade component for owners of small-scale RC trucks in the UK. Supplied as a pack of four pre-glued wheels and tyres, this product delivers a practical refresh for your Mini Maxx, XRT, or Mini LMT platform, ensuring your RC car UK setup remains competitive and responsive. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or discovering the world of RC vehicles for the first time, having quality spare tyres on hand is crucial for uninterrupted running and extended track or backyard sessions.
These MT (Monster Truck) style wheels feature big block tread designed specifically for enhanced grip and control across varied terrain. The pre-glued construction means you can fit them immediately without requiring adhesive or additional preparation, making this an ideal choice for weekend bashers and competitive drivers alike. The firm foam insert integrated into each tyre provides the extra grip your RC truck needs to maintain traction during aggressive driving, whether you're tackling indoor carpeted surfaces or outdoor asphalt and dirt courses.
RC Model Shop stocks this RC Overhaul product as part of our comprehensive range of genuine replacement parts and upgrades for popular mini-scale RC platforms. This is not a complete ready to run RC car UK product, but rather a focused upgrade component that will breathe new life into your existing model or provide essential spares when your current tyres wear out.
Key Features
- Pack of 4 Pre-Glued Wheels and Tyres — Each wheel arrives fully glued and ready to install, eliminating the need for time-consuming adhesive application and allowing you to get back on the track or course immediately without additional preparation work.
- Firm Foam Insert Construction — The integrated foam insert in each tyre is engineered to deliver superior grip and control, particularly important for 1/16 scale vehicles where traction directly impacts handling precision and cornering performance.
- Big Block Tread Pattern — The aggressive block tread design provides enhanced bite on multiple surfaces, from carpet and tile indoors to dirt and asphalt outdoors, giving you the confidence to bash anywhere.
- 12mm Hex Drive Compatibility — The standardised 12mm hex drive ensures seamless fitment with compatible Mini Maxx, XRT, and Mini LMT models, making installation straightforward for owners of these popular platforms.
- Wide 52mm Tread Width — The generous tread width maximises the footprint and contact patch with the ground, translating to improved stability and traction during acceleration, cornering, and braking.
- 100mm Diameter Profile — The full diameter specification ensures proper ride height and proportional scaling for 1/16 scale RC vehicles, maintaining the authentic stance and performance characteristics of your model.
- Customisable Appearance — The inclusion of fake rim bolt heads and white sidewall writing create a menacing, scale-accurate look that can be further personalised by dotting the bolt heads with a silver pen for dramatic effect.
- Genuine RC Overhaul Manufacturing — RC Overhaul is a recognised brand within the RC community, known for producing reliable and durable components that meet the demanding requirements of competitive and recreational drivers.
Technical Performance
The RC Overhaul G-RCO-UN13BK wheel and tyre set represents precision engineering optimised for 1/16 scale monster truck platforms. The 100mm outer diameter combined with the 52mm tread width delivers a balanced approach to ground clearance and traction, critical factors for small-scale RC trucks where every millimetre impacts performance. The firm foam insert is not merely a comfort feature — it functions as a shock-absorbing element that helps dampen vibrations transmitted through the tyre to the chassis, improving handling consistency and reducing wear on suspension components. This is particularly valuable when running on hard surfaces where tyre squirm and deflection can compromise steering response. The pre-glued construction uses professional-grade adhesive that bonds the rubber to the wheel rim permanently, preventing tyre slip or separation during high-speed cornering or aggressive acceleration. The 12mm hex drive interface is the industry standard for this scale class, ensuring compatibility across the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S, Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S, and Losi Mini LMT 4X4 platforms. Whether you're running 2S or 3S LiPo batteries in your RC truck, these tyres will deliver consistent performance without requiring any ESC or motor adjustments — they are a pure mechanical upgrade that instantly improves your vehicle's traction characteristics.
