These pre-mounted and glued tyre sets are engineered specifically for 1/10 scale short course racing, delivering the grip and performance that competitive drivers demand.

The ready-to-run mounted format means you can get on the track immediately without the hassle of separate tyre mounting, saving time and ensuring consistent installation quality. With their competitive pricing and proven performance record, these tyres represent excellent value for serious racers who demand nothing less than excellence from their equipment.

Key Features

• Soft Racing Compound — The soft compound material is specifically formulated to provide maximum grip and traction across a wide range of track surfaces and conditions commonly found at UK racing venues. This formula excels in delivering responsive steering feedback and consistent performance, allowing drivers to push harder and achieve faster lap times with confidence.
• Pre-Mounted and Glued Configuration — These tyres arrive ready to bolt onto your RC vehicle, eliminating the need for separate mounting and gluing processes. This saves significant preparation time and ensures professional-quality installation that guarantees the tyre beads remain perfectly seated and secure throughout your racing sessions.
• Foam Cut Inserts Included — Integrated foam cut inserts provide the structural support necessary to maintain consistent tyre shape during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres. These inserts work in concert with the soft compound to deliver predictable handling and prevent sidewall collapse that would otherwise compromise performance.
• Removable Hex Adaptors — The removable 1/10 short course hex system offers versatility for drivers with multiple vehicles or those who may need to swap wheels between different platform bases. Available in 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm configurations, this design ensures compatibility with an extensive range of popular 1/10 scale platforms.
• Nylon Composite Rims — The black nylon composite wheel rims deliver an excellent balance between durability and weight efficiency, helping to keep unsprung weight to an absolute minimum whilst maintaining structural integrity under the stresses of competitive racing.
• Arrma-Offset and Slash-Compatible Design — These tyres are specifically engineered for Traxxas Slash platforms including the Slash 4x4 front and rear, Slash 2WD rear configurations, and compatible vehicles like the SCRT10 and FTX Apache models. The offset geometry is precisely calculated for optimal stance and handling characteristics on these platforms.
• 112mm Tyre Diameter with 45mm Width — The generous 112mm outer diameter combined with a 45mm tread width provides excellent ground clearance whilst maintaining optimal contact patch size for grip and stability during high-speed running.

Technical Performance

These Louise RC SC-Uphill tyres are engineered with the precision and attention to detail that separates racing-grade components from basic alternatives. The soft compound rubber offers superior grip characteristics compared to medium or hard compounds, making them the preferred choice when track conditions favour maximum traction. Each tyre and wheel assembly weighs 126 grams, contributing to a carefully balanced unsprung weight that helps improve suspension response and handling precision. The 2.2-inch and 3.0-inch rim bead diameters (56mm and 76mm respectively) are precisely calculated to match the specific geometry of compatible 1/10 short course truck platforms. The foam cut inserts work in harmony with the soft rubber compound to absorb track vibration whilst maintaining responsive steering input, giving drivers the confidence to attack corners with aggression. The nylon composite construction of the wheel rims provides excellent durability for repeated use at racing speeds whilst keeping weight to a minimum—a critical consideration for any driver seeking to optimise their vehicle's dynamic performance. The pre-glued mounting ensures that the tyre-to-rim interface remains perfectly secure throughout extended running sessions, eliminating concerns about tyre movement or separation that could compromise safety or performance. These tyres are suitable for use on various track surfaces and conditions commonly encountered at UK RC racing venues, delivering consistent performance whether you're running on astroturf, clay, or carpet surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for beginners or only experienced racers? — The SC-Uphill soft compound is specifically formulated for racing applications and competitive driving. Whilst the soft grip makes them very responsive, they are best suited to drivers with intermediate to advanced experience who understand how to exploit their characteristics. Beginners might find medium or hard compound alternatives more forgiving during the learning phase.
• Will these Louise RC tyres fit my Traxxas Slash? — Yes, these tyres are explicitly designed for Traxxas Slash platforms. They fit the Slash 4x4 front and rear positions, the Slash 2WD rear, and are also compatible with related vehicles including the SCRT10 FR/R and FTX Apache 2.0 trophy truck. The removable hex adaptors come in 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm configurations to match your specific vehicle's hub system.
• What makes soft compound tyres better for racing than harder alternatives? — Soft compound tyres generate greater grip and traction by maintaining a larger contact patch with the track surface, particularly on cooler UK racing surfaces. This enhanced grip allows competitive drivers to carry more speed through corners and achieve faster acceleration out of turns. The trade-off is that soft tyres wear more quickly than harder compounds, which is why they are primarily chosen for racing rather than general bashing.
• Are these pre-mounted tyres ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, these tyres arrive completely pre-mounted on their nylon composite wheels and pre-glued, ready to install directly onto your RC vehicle via the hex adaptors. This saves considerable preparation time compared to purchasing unmounted tyres that require separate gluing and mounting processes.
• What is the difference between foam cut inserts and solid inserts? — Foam cut inserts offer superior vibration absorption and flex characteristics compared to solid inserts, providing improved handling feel and responsiveness particularly on rough or bumpy track surfaces. The cut design allows the foam to compress and flex more readily, contributing to the overall predictability and feel that racing drivers appreciate.
• How long do soft compound racing tyres typically last? — Soft compound tyres wear faster than medium or hard alternatives due to their increased grip characteristics. The actual lifespan depends on track conditions, driving intensity, and vehicle setup, but racers typically expect to replace soft tyres more frequently than harder compounds. This is an accepted trade-off for the performance advantages they deliver.
