Overview
The Fastrax Cutter Supersoft Tyre with Memory Foam Mounted is a premium tyre and wheel combination designed for RC enthusiasts who demand superior performance and reliability. These pre-mounted tyres come ready to install directly onto your RC vehicle, saving you valuable setup time and ensuring consistent fitment from the moment you unbox them. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher looking to upgrade your existing setup, these supersoft tyres deliver the grip and responsiveness that serious RC drivers expect from quality components.
Fastrax has built a reputation for manufacturing high-quality RC accessories and replacement parts that rival the original equipment specifications. The Cutter Supersoft Tyre series represents their commitment to providing accessible, performance-focused tyres that work brilliantly across various racing disciplines and driving conditions. The integration of memory foam inserts ensures that your tyres maintain their shape and performance characteristics over extended use, preventing the flat-spotting and deformation issues that can plague standard foam inserts.
What sets this product apart in the ready to run RC market is the combination of convenience and performance. By arriving pre-mounted on wheels, you eliminate the need for separate tyre mounting tools or technical expertise, making this an ideal choice for those looking to get their RC vehicle race-ready without the hassle of individual component assembly. The memory foam technology actively works to preserve tyre integrity during both aggressive driving and periods of storage.
Key Features
- Pre-Mounted Configuration — These tyres arrive already mounted on wheels and ready for immediate installation, saving you hours of setup time and the need to invest in specialist mounting equipment. This ready-to-fit approach is particularly valuable for UK RC hobbyists who want to minimise downtime and maximise track time.
- Supersoft Compound — The supersoft rubber compound provides exceptional grip levels across a wide variety of track surfaces and conditions, making these tyres versatile enough for both loose and tight surfaces. The softer compound grips more aggressively than standard medium compounds, translating to improved cornering speed and braking performance.
- Memory Foam Inserts — Unlike traditional foam that can compress and stay compressed, memory foam actively returns to its original shape after being pressed. This self-recovering characteristic maintains consistent tyre performance session after session, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ensuring predictable handling throughout your RC driving experience.
- 118mm Diameter — The 118mm wheel diameter specification makes these tyres suitable for a wide range of 1.9-inch scale RC vehicles, providing compatibility with many popular models in the RC community. This size is particularly popular for on-road and mixed-surface racing applications.
- Pair Configuration — Each pack contains two pre-mounted tyres, allowing you to replace a single axle or use them as spares for your existing setup. This practical quantity suits drivers who want to maintain a rotation of fresh tyres for competitive advantage.
- Quality Fastrax Manufacturing — Every component in this package has been manufactured to Fastrax's exacting standards, ensuring consistent quality and performance that you can rely on session after session. Fastrax components are trusted by RC racers across the UK and internationally.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Cutter Supersoft Tyre with Memory Foam represents a focused engineering approach to high-performance RC tyres. The 118mm diameter specification positions these tyres within the popular 1.9-inch wheel size category, which has become the standard for competitive on-road and mixed-surface RC racing throughout the UK and Europe. The supersoft rubber compound is formulated to deliver maximum grip characteristics, making these tyres particularly effective on surfaces where traction is at a premium. The memory foam insert technology sets this product apart from budget alternatives; traditional foam inserts compress under load and often fail to fully recover their original dimensions, leading to tyre rattle, unpredictable handling, and accelerated wear. Memory foam, by contrast, actively restores its original profile after each corner, maintaining consistent feel and performance. This engineering choice demonstrates Fastrax's understanding of what competitive drivers need from their components. The pre-mounted presentation eliminates variables in the mounting process — a critical factor in ensuring that tyre performance is optimised from the first lap. The compound and insert combination is particularly suited to drivers who value predictability and consistency in their RC experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners looking for a ready to run RC upgrade? — Absolutely. The pre-mounted configuration makes these tyres ideal for newer RC drivers who want to improve their vehicle's performance without tackling complex tyre mounting procedures. The supersoft compound does require slightly more careful driving than harder compounds, as it grips more aggressively, but this actually provides excellent feedback that helps newer drivers develop better throttle control and line management. The memory foam inserts also mean you'll get consistent performance over multiple driving sessions, which is particularly valuable for building confidence.
- How do memory foam inserts compare to standard foam inserts? — Memory foam inserts offer a significant performance advantage. Standard foam can compress and remain compressed, causing tyres to develop flats and uneven wear patterns. Memory foam actively returns to its original shape after compression, maintaining consistent tyre geometry and performance characteristics throughout your driving session. This translates to more predictable handling, longer tyre life, and better value for money over the lifetime of the product.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — The 118mm diameter and 1.9-inch specification means these tyres are compatible with a wide range of 1.9-inch scale RC vehicles. Before purchasing, check your vehicle's documentation or measure your current wheel diameter to ensure compatibility. These tyres are particularly popular for on-road touring cars, mixed-surface racers, and general-purpose RC vehicles in this scale range.
- Do I need any additional tools or equipment to install these tyres? — One of the primary advantages of this product is that it arrives fully mounted and ready to install. You will simply need basic RC tools to remove your existing tyres and install these new ones onto your vehicle's axles. No specialist tyre mounting equipment, glue, or complex procedures are required.
- How long do these tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on your driving style, track surface, and maintenance practices. The memory foam inserts help extend tyre life by maintaining consistent shape and reducing the accelerated wear associated with deformed tyres. Most RC drivers find that a set of supersoft tyres provides between 4-8 competitive sessions before performance begins to noticeably degrade, though recreational drivers who drive less aggressively may see longer lifespans.
- Are these tyres weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor RC racing? — Yes, Fastrax tyres are engineered to perform in outdoor conditions. The rubber compound maintains its grip characteristics across typical UK weather conditions. If you're storing these tyres between sessions, keeping them in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight will help preserve the rubber compound and foam inserts in optimal condition.
