Overview
The Louise RC CR-Rowdy 1/10 Super Soft Black Hex 12mm tyres represent professional-grade crawler footwear engineered for serious rock crawling enthusiasts across the UK. These aren't just any RC tyres — they're purpose-built crawler tyres that have earned recognition among dedicated crawlers for their exceptional grip and obstacle-conquering capabilities. Whether you're tackling rocky terrain, navigating challenging trails, or competing in crawler events, the CR-Rowdy compound delivers the performance you need to succeed.
Louise RC has developed these crawler tyres with a totally different tyre structure and rubber compound specifically designed for the demands of rock crawling. Unlike road-racing or bashing tyres, crawler tyres must be exceptionally flexible to overcome obstacles whilst maintaining excellent grip across a variety of surfaces. Since crawlers are driven at slow speeds where overcoming obstacles is the primary objective, the tyres become absolutely crucial to successful performance. These Louise RC crawler tyres are recognised as a reference amongst crawler drivers worldwide, and if you're serious about conquering different surfaces with excellent grip, these are the right choice for your 1/10 crawler.
This complete mounted and glued tyre set includes two wheels ready to install on your compatible RC car. The set comes pre-assembled with foam inserts already fitted, saving you time and ensuring perfect assembly from the factory. These are authentic Louise RC products, backed by decades of experience in manufacturing premium RC crawler tyres.
Key Features
- Super Soft Rubber Compound — The elastomer compound in these CR-Rowdy tyres is specifically formulated to deliver maximum grip in all conditions whilst remaining flexible enough to conform to irregular terrain, allowing your crawler to maintain contact with rocks, logs, and obstacles that would challenge harder compounds.
- Class 1 Crawler Classification — These tyres are engineered to the highest crawler standards, meaning they've been developed with the specific requirements of rock crawling in mind, not adapted from other tyre types, ensuring optimal performance for your crawling missions.
- Professional Gluing Process — Louise RC employs an exacting manufacturing process where each tyre is mounted to the wheel using a specially developed rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive applied with precision dosing equipment, then pressed for a specific duration and tested through spinning and pulling validation to ensure absolutely perfect bonding that will withstand extreme forces.
- Pre-Mounted and Glued — Both tyres arrive completely mounted and permanently bonded to the black nylon composite wheels, eliminating the need for you to source adhesive, invest time in mounting, or worry about assembly quality — they're ready to bolt straight onto your 1/10 crawler.
- Foam Insert System — Each tyre includes specially selected pre-formed foam cut inserts chosen for specific density and size to guarantee perfect dampening characteristics and form stability, keeping your tyres performing consistently through corners, jumps, and technical sections.
- High-Quality Nylon Composite Wheels — The wheel construction uses a mixture of high-quality nylon granulates charged with fibre or fibre-free composites, specially developed by DuPont for Louise RC, providing the proper flexibility and strength to withstand the extreme loads experienced during cornering, high jumps, and obstacle impact.
- 1.9-Inch Wheel Diameter — At 107mm diameter, these tyres provide ideal ground clearance and scale appearance for 1/10 crawlers, properly proportioned to navigate rocky terrain and technical obstacles without excessive wheel slip or rolling resistance.
- Universal Hex 12mm Fitment — The 12mm hexagonal wheel adapter ensures compatibility with all major 1/10 crawler platforms, including Axial SCX10 and Wraith 1.9, Axial Capra 1.9, Carisma Adventure models, Element Enduro, Hobbytech CRX, Redcat Gen 8, Traxxas TRX4 and TRX6, Vaterra Ascender, and many other compatible crawlers.
- Front and Rear Use — These tyres are configured for both front and rear positions, simplifying your parts inventory and allowing flexible setup adjustments across your entire crawler platform.
- 39mm Tyre Width — The 39mm width provides ample contact patch for grip whilst maintaining the scale proportions expected on a 1/10 crawler, offering stability without excessive rolling resistance.
- Compact Weight — At 75 grams per mounted wheel, the CR-Rowdy set keeps unsprung weight to a minimum, reducing the inertia your suspension must manage and improving overall handling responsiveness.
Technical Performance
These Louise RC CR-Rowdy tyres represent the pinnacle of crawler-specific tyre engineering, built from the ground up for rock crawling rather than adapted from other applications. The super soft rubber compound delivers exceptional grip across diverse surfaces — rocks, dirt, gravel, concrete, and mixed terrain — while remaining flexible enough to maintain contact during extreme articulation. The engineering behind these tyres reflects Louise RC's decades of experience working with leading crawler enthusiasts globally. The manufacturing process is meticulous: each tyre's bonding surface is ground and degreased, the wheel surface is prepared identically, and precision-dosed cyanoacrylate adhesive is applied via specialised equipment, then the assembly is pressed for a controlled duration before undergoing both spinning and pulling validation tests. This ensures every tyre can withstand the enormous forces generated during aggressive cornering, high-impact landings, and obstacle conquest. The foam insert system is equally sophisticated, with each set's inserts selected specifically for their density and size characteristics to provide optimal shock absorption and form retention. The DuPont-developed nylon composite wheels provide the crucial balance between rigidity for strength and flexibility for compliance, allowing them to flex during impact without permanent deformation whilst delivering the structural integrity needed for years of crawler service. The 107mm diameter is proportionally correct for 1/10 scale whilst providing adequate ground clearance for serious trail work. Compatible with the full range of modern 1/10 crawler platforms available in the UK RC market, these tyres integrate seamlessly into established crawler builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my 1/10 crawler? — The CR-Rowdy tyres in 12mm hex configuration are compatible with Axial SCX10, Axial Wraith 1.9, Axial Capra 1.9, Carisma Adventure models, Element Enduro, Hobbytech CRX, Redcat Gen 8, Traxxas TRX4, Traxxas TRX6, and Vaterra Ascender platforms. Louise RC recommends checking their tyre-wheel compatibility chart to verify fitment on your specific model before ordering.
- Why are these tyres pre-glued rather than sold separately? — Louise RC pre-mounts and glues these tyres to eliminate assembly variables and ensure perfect bonding. The company has spent years perfecting their gluing process and validates every tyre through mechanical testing. This approach guarantees the tyre-to-wheel bond will withstand the extreme forces of rock crawling better than field-assembled alternatives.
- What makes the super soft compound better for crawling than harder alternatives? — The super soft rubber remains flexible at low speeds, allowing the tyre to conform to irregular rock surfaces and maintain maximum contact patch across uneven terrain. This flexibility is what enables crawlers to achieve the grippy, precise control needed for technical obstacles. The compound also features exceptional grip characteristics across varied surface types that you'll encounter on UK trails.
- Will these tyres fit my 1/10 Axial crawler? — If your Axial crawler uses 1.9-inch wheels with 12mm hex adapters (such as the SCX10, Wraith 1.9, or Capra 1.9), these CR-Rowdy tyres will fit. However, consult Louise RC's compatibility chart if you're uncertain about your specific Axial model.
- How long do Louise RC crawler tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, terrain harshness, and maintenance practices. The extremely durable bonding process means the tyre won't separate from the wheel under normal crawler use, so wear will be tyre material degradation rather than adhesive failure. Regular cleaning and storage in a cool place extend tyre life.
- Can I purchase these tyres and mount them myself instead of pre-glued? — Louise RC offers various tyre options, but the CR-Rowdy L-T3347VB is specifically manufactured pre-mounted and glued. If you prefer separate components, contact Louise RC directly about availability of unmounted alternatives.
- What's the difference between the super soft compound and other Louise RC crawler compounds? — Super soft is the most compliant compound in the Louise RC crawler range, maximising grip and flexibility for slow-speed obstacle work. Harder compounds sacrifice grip for durability on high-speed applications, but crawlers prioritise grip and compliance over tyre longevity, making super soft the natural choice for dedicated crawling.
