If you're building or upgrading your 1/8 scale RC buggy, the Team Corally Scorpion XTB represents genuine quality and excellent value for money.
Key Features
- Pre-Glued on Black Rims — These tyres arrive fully mounted and glued to black rims, eliminating the need for you to source separate wheels, prepare the tyres, or spend hours carefully gluing them yourself. This saves considerable time and effort, allowing you to focus on driving rather than tyre preparation.
- Rear Wide Profile Design — The wide rear tyre profile creates a larger contact patch with the track surface, which translates to improved traction, better cornering grip, and enhanced overall stability during high-speed manoeuvres and aggressive driving.
- 2WD Offset Configuration — These tyres are specifically offset-designed for 2WD buggies, meaning they'll fit perfectly with the correct geometry and handling balance when installed on compatible 1/8 scale 2WD RC buggies.
- Scorpion XTB Compound — Team Corally's Scorpion XTB rubber compound is engineered for consistent performance across a range of track surfaces and conditions, delivering predictable grip and reliability session after session.
- 1/8 Scale Compatibility — These tyres are purpose-built for 1/8 scale RC buggies, ensuring perfect fitment and performance with your 1/8 scale platform, whether you're running a Corally buggy or a compatible equivalent from another manufacturer.
Technical Performance
The Team Corally Scorpion XTB rear wide tyres represent a serious performance upgrade for any 1/8 scale RC buggy setup. The engineering behind these tyres focuses on delivering the contact consistency that competitive drivers need when pushing their machines hard on the track. The wide profile at the rear of the buggy is specifically chosen to improve weight transfer and cornering performance, allowing drivers to carry more speed through bends whilst maintaining predictable handling. The pre-glued mounting on black rims ensures that rim run-out is consistent and that the tyre-to-rim interface is secure, eliminating variables that can affect handling. The Scorpion XTB compound itself has been formulated to maintain grip levels across temperature variations you'll encounter throughout a racing session, whether you're on a cold morning session or racing under warm conditions. The black rims complement the professional appearance whilst offering proven durability. These tyres are suitable for both carpet and outdoor track surfaces, making them genuinely versatile for UK RC buggy drivers who may race at different venues throughout the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners learning RC buggy racing? — Yes, absolutely. The pre-glued, pre-mounted design makes these tyres ideal for beginners because there's no tyre preparation required. They're ready to bolt on, and the Scorpion XTB compound delivers consistent, predictable grip that helps newer drivers build confidence and learn racing lines without fighting with unpredictable tyre behaviour.
- What's the advantage of pre-glued tyres compared to mounting them myself? — Pre-glued tyres save hours of preparation time and eliminate the risk of uneven gluing or air bubbles that can cause vibration and poor handling. The factory gluing process ensures perfect rim-to-tyre bond, and you can start racing immediately rather than waiting for adhesive to cure. For busy UK drivers, this convenience factor is invaluable.
- Will these tyres fit my RC buggy? — These tyres are designed for 1/8 scale buggies with 2WD offset rim configurations. They're rear-specific tyres, so you'll need a matching set of front tyres to complete your buggy. Check your buggy's rim size and offset specifications to ensure compatibility before ordering.
- How long do Team Corally Scorpion XTB tyres typically last? — Tyre life depends heavily on your driving style, track surface, and maintenance. Aggressive racing will wear tyres faster than casual bashing. Storing tyres away from direct sunlight and maintaining proper tyre pressures will extend their usable life. Most competitive racers replace tyres when grip becomes inconsistent or when visible wear is evident.
- Can I use these tyres on carpet tracks, outdoor tracks, or both? — The Scorpion XTB compound is versatile enough for both carpet and outdoor track surfaces, making it an excellent all-purpose choice for UK drivers who race at different venues throughout the season.
- What makes the Scorpion XTB different from other Team Corally tyre compounds? — The Scorpion XTB is engineered to deliver balanced performance across varying conditions, rather than being specifically optimised for one surface type. This makes it genuinely versatile for drivers wanting a single compound that works reliably across multiple track environments.
