Overview
The Louise RC CR-CHAMP 1/10 1.9 Super Soft Black Hex 12mm tyres represent a pinnacle of crawler tyre engineering, designed specifically for serious RC rock crawlers and scale enthusiasts across the UK who demand the highest levels of grip, durability and obstacle-conquering ability. These pre-mounted and glued tyre sets deliver the performance characteristics that have made Louise RC a recognised leader in the RC crawler community, with a reputation built on meticulous manufacturing standards and premium materials sourced from Dupont®. Whether you're tackling rocky terrain, technical crawling courses or challenging backyard obstacles, these tyres are engineered to give you the confidence and control needed to conquer any surface.
What sets the CR-CHAMP tyres apart in the crowded RC car UK marketplace is their specialised super soft rubber compound, which strikes a perfect balance between flexibility and grip. Unlike standard RC tyres, crawler-specific tyres must overcome unique challenges: they need to be soft enough to deform around rocks and roots for maximum contact patch, yet rigid enough to maintain their shape during aggressive cornering and high-impact landings. Louise RC has spent years perfecting this balance, and the CR-CHAMP range is the result of that dedication to excellence in ready-to-run RC crawler accessories.
These tyres are supplied as a complete mounted set, meaning they arrive glued to high-quality nylon composite wheels with 12mm hex adapters, ready to bolt straight onto your crawler. This saves you time and guarantees perfect bonding, as each set undergoes rigorous spinning and pulling tests to ensure they will withstand the extreme forces experienced during high-intensity crawling sessions.
Key Features
- Super Soft Rubber Compound — The tyres utilise an exceptionally soft rubber formulation specifically engineered for crawler applications, which allows the tyre to flex and conform to irregular surfaces like rocks, roots and obstacles, dramatically improving grip and traction compared to harder tyre compounds used in other RC disciplines.
- Professional-Grade Bonding — Each tyre is glued to the wheel using a special rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive developed exclusively for Louise RC, applied with precision dosing machines to guarantee consistent, equal coverage that withstands extreme cornering forces, jumps and impacts.
- 1.9-Inch Diameter (121mm) — The correctly proportioned 1.9-inch size is specifically designed for 1/10 scale crawlers, providing authentic scale appearance whilst maintaining the wheel diameter needed for proper suspension geometry and ground clearance across popular models like the Axial SCX10, Wraith 1.9, Capra 1.9, Traxxas TRX4, TRX6, Vaterra Ascender and many others.
- 12mm Hex Adapter — The industry-standard 12mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale crawlers, making installation straightforward on your existing RC crawler without requiring adapters or modifications.
- Foam Insert System — Pre-installed cut-to-size foam inserts in specifically selected densities provide optimal shock absorption and tyre form stability, preventing excessive deformation under load whilst maintaining the suppleness needed for obstacle navigation.
- High-Quality Nylon Composite Wheels — The wheels are manufactured from premium nylon granulates charged with fibre reinforcement, composites developed by Dupont® specifically for Louise RC to provide the exact balance of flexibility and strength needed to withstand extreme crawling forces without cracking or deforming.
- Zero Wheel Offset — The wheels are mounted with zero offset, providing neutral handling characteristics that integrate seamlessly with stock crawler suspension setups and ensuring that tyre-to-body clearance matches the original vehicle design specifications.
- Pair Configuration — This pack includes two complete tyres suitable for both front and rear positions, allowing you to replace a worn pair or establish a fresh set of crawler tyres across your vehicle.
- Professional Quality Assurance — Each tyre passes dedicated spinning and pulling tests after bonding to verify that the adhesive bond meets Louise RC's exacting standards, ensuring you receive only tyres that can handle the punishment of serious crawling.
Technical Performance
The Louise RC CR-CHAMP tyres are engineered with the specific demands of 1/10 scale crawler competition and recreation in mind. The super soft rubber compound represents the softest option in the Louise RC crawler range, making these tyres ideal for terrain where maximum grip and obstacle-climbing ability are paramount. The specially formulated rubber provides exceptional flexibility, allowing the tyre sidewalls to deform around rocks and irregular obstacles whilst maintaining enough internal structure to protect the foam inserts and provide feedback to the driver. The 121mm overall diameter and 46mm width create a contact patch optimised for the weight distribution and suspension travel of 1/10 scale crawlers, whilst the pre-installed foam inserts are specifically selected for density to support the tyre during compression without allowing excessive bulging that would affect handling. The wheels themselves, moulded from Dupont® fibre-reinforced nylon composite, provide the critical combination of light weight and high strength needed to resist the extreme lateral forces during side-hill crawling and the impact forces from dropping into rocky terrain. The zero offset ensures that these tyres maintain the correct relationship with the vehicle chassis and body, preserving scale proportions and stock suspension geometry. With a weight of 106 grams per complete tyre-and-wheel assembly, the CR-CHAMP set remains lightweight enough to minimise unsprung mass, which improves suspension response and climbing ability on technical terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Louise RC tyres suitable for my specific RC crawler model? — The CR-CHAMP 1.9 tyres are designed to fit all 1/10 scale crawlers equipped with 1.9-inch wheels and 12mm hex adapters, including Axial models such as the SCX10, Wraith 1.9 and Capra 1.9, Carisma Adventure series vehicles, Element Enduro crawlers, Hobbytech CRX models, Redcat Gen 8 crawlers, Traxxas TRX4 and TRX6 trucks, and Vaterra Ascender crawlers. Louise RC provides a comprehensive tyre-wheel compatibility chart on their website to help you verify exact fitment for your specific vehicle, so you should always cross-reference that chart before purchasing to ensure perfect compatibility.
- Why should I choose super soft tyres instead of other Louise RC compound options? — Super soft tyres are the correct choice when you prioritise maximum grip and obstacle-climbing ability above all else, particularly if you regularly encounter very rocky, rooty or challenging terrain where maximum tyre deformation around obstacles will give you the best traction and best chances of successful climbs. If you regularly bash on harder surfaces or need slightly longer tyre life, Louise RC offers medium and harder compound options that may be more suitable, but for pure crawling performance, the super soft compound delivers exceptional results.
- Are the tyres pre-glued and ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, the CR-CHAMP tyres arrive completely pre-mounted and pre-glued to the wheels using Louise RC's professional bonding process, which means they are ready to bolt directly onto your crawler with the included 12mm hex adapters. There is no assembly, gluing or preparation required, saving you time and guaranteeing a perfect bond that has passed professional testing.
- What makes Louise RC's bonding process different from other brands? — Louise RC employs a multi-stage bonding process that is recognised as among the best in the RC industry: the tyre bead and wheel surface are both precisely ground and degreased to remove contaminants, the special rubber cyanoacrylate glue is applied using precision dosing machines to guarantee consistent coverage, the bonded tyre is then pressed under pressure for a specific duration to ensure complete curing, and finally every single tyre passes spinning and pulling tests to verify the bond is perfect. This rigorous approach ensures that the tyre will not separate from the wheel under the extreme forces of aggressive crawling, jumping and cornering.
- Can I fit these tyres to my crawler myself, or do I need professional installation? — Installation is extremely simple and requires no professional help: the wheels feature standard 12mm hex adapters that match the hex drives on your crawler's axles, so you simply push the wheel onto the axle pin until it seats fully, then secure it with the small clip or pin provided with your vehicle. Installation takes only a few seconds per wheel and requires no tools or special knowledge, making this a perfect upgrade for RC enthusiasts of any experience level.
- How do the foam inserts improve tyre performance compared to unmounted tyres? — The pre-installed foam inserts serve two critical functions: they absorb impacts and vibrations from rocky terrain, protecting the tyre and wheel from damage and reducing vibration transmitted to the chassis, and they provide internal support that prevents the tyre from deforming excessively under load, which would otherwise cause sluggish handling and reduced responsiveness. Louise RC selects insert density specifically for each tyre compound and size, meaning the inserts in these CR-CHAMP tyres are optimally matched to provide perfect dampening and form stability.
- What is the wheel offset and does it matter for my crawler? — These wheels feature zero offset, meaning they sit directly in the centre of the axle mounting point with no inboard or outboard spacing. Zero offset is the correct choice for most stock 1/10 scale crawlers as it maintains the factory suspension geometry, tyre-to-body clearance and handling characteristics exactly as the vehicle designer intended, so you can simply install them with confidence that they will fit perfectly without any modifications.
- How much do the complete tyre and wheel assemblies weigh? — Each complete assembly, including the tyre, foam insert and wheel, weighs 106 grams, making this a relatively lightweight option that minimises unsprung mass and helps maintain the quick suspension response that modern RC crawlers need for challenging terrain.
