Overview
The Element RC Tyre Inserts 1.9in (EL42105) are essential replacement foam inserts designed specifically for rock crawler and trail truck enthusiasts in the UK RC hobby market. These premium tyre inserts are engineered to work with 1.9-inch wheels, providing the cushioning and support that your RC car needs for smooth performance across varied terrain. Whether you're bashing on rocky trails, navigating technical courses, or simply enjoying weekend sessions with your ready to run RC vehicle, quality tyre inserts make a significant difference to how your model performs and how long your tyres last.
These Element RC inserts are the perfect solution if you're looking to maintain or upgrade your 1/10 scale rock crawler. They fit both front and rear positions, making them versatile replacements that work across your entire wheel setup. Whether you own an Element RC Enduro Trail Truck, Trailwalker, or Sendero HD model, these inserts will restore the cushioning and structural integrity your tyres need. For anyone serious about keeping their RC car in peak condition, investing in quality tyre inserts like these is a smart decision that extends tyre life and improves overall driving experience.
As a UK RC retailer, we understand that rock crawling and trail driving demands the best components. Tyre inserts might seem like a small detail, but they're absolutely critical to maintaining proper tyre shape, preventing sidewall collapse during extreme articulation, and ensuring consistent ground contact. The Element RC brand is recognised across the hobby for delivering reliable, well-engineered parts, and these 1.9-inch inserts continue that tradition of quality.
Key Features
- 1.9-inch wheel diameter compatibility — These inserts are precision-sized to fit 1.9-inch wheels perfectly, ensuring proper fitment and performance without gaps or compression issues that could affect handling and tyre wear patterns.
- Front and rear position suitable — The versatile design works equally well in both front and rear wheel positions, giving you flexibility in your setup and allowing you to replace inserts across your entire vehicle without needing different products.
- Rock crawler and trail truck optimised — Specifically engineered for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail trucks, these inserts provide the exact firmness and support characteristics needed for technical terrain, articulation, and low-speed manoeuvres where tyre integrity is paramount.
- Two pack included — Each pack contains two inserts, allowing you to replace a pair of wheels or maintain spares for future maintenance and repairs, which is practical for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Compatible with multiple Element RC models — These inserts work with the Enduro Trail Truck Zuul, Enduro Ecto Trail Truck in multiple colours, Trailwalker, and Sendero HD models, making them a reliable choice if you own any Element RC vehicle in this range.
Technical Performance
Tyre inserts are a fundamental component in rock crawling and trail truck RC cars, and understanding their role helps explain why quality matters. The Element RC inserts are engineered to maintain proper tyre shape and structure, particularly important when driving over rocks, roots, and uneven surfaces where your tyres experience extreme articulation and lateral forces. The foam core provides cushioning that absorbs impact while maintaining enough firmness to support the sidewalls during aggressive driving. For 1/10 scale rock crawlers operating at slower speeds with maximum articulation, having inserts that balance softness with structural support is crucial. These 1.9-inch inserts are matched to the wheel diameter and suspension geometry of Element RC's trail trucks, ensuring they deliver the performance characteristics those vehicles were designed around. Whether you're navigating a rocky creek bed, climbing steep inclines, or picking your way through technical obstacle courses, properly-supported tyres with quality inserts will maintain ground contact and prevent the kind of tyre deformation that leads to premature wear or sidewall damage. The two-pack format means you can maintain your vehicle with confidence, knowing you have replacements ready when your existing inserts begin to compress or deteriorate from regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of tyre inserts in RC cars? — Tyre inserts are foam components that sit inside your RC tyres, providing internal cushioning and structural support. They maintain tyre shape, prevent sidewall collapse during articulation and aggressive driving, absorb impacts from terrain, and ultimately extend tyre life and improve overall vehicle performance. In rock crawlers and trail trucks where you're driving slowly over extreme terrain, inserts are essential for keeping your tyres in contact with the ground and preventing damage.
- Will these Element RC inserts fit my current wheels? — These inserts are specifically designed for 1.9-inch wheels used on 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail trucks. If your Element RC vehicle uses 1.9-inch wheels, these inserts will fit perfectly. They're compatible with the Enduro Trail Truck Zuul, Enduro Ecto Trail Truck (all colour variants), Enduro Trailwalker, and Sendero HD models. If you're unsure about your wheel size, measure the wheel diameter or check your vehicle's manual.
- How often should I replace tyre inserts? — Tyre inserts gradually compress and lose their cushioning properties with use. Heavy use on rocky terrain will compress them faster than casual driving. Most RC enthusiasts replace inserts every few months to a year depending on usage frequency. Since these come in a two-pack, you can replace one pair and keep spares on hand for when the next set needs changing.
- Can I use these inserts on both front and rear wheels? — Yes, absolutely. These inserts are suitable for both front and rear positions, making them versatile replacements. You can use them wherever you need them on your rock crawler or trail truck.
- Are tyre inserts suitable for beginners? — Yes, tyre inserts are suitable for everyone from beginners to experienced RC drivers. They're a maintenance item rather than a technical component, and replacing them simply involves removing your tyre, replacing the old insert with a new one, and reinstalling the tyre. If you're new to RC and own an Element RC trail truck, having quality inserts is important for getting the best performance from your vehicle.
- What scale and vehicle type are these designed for? — These Element RC Tyre Inserts are designed for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and trail trucks. The 1.9-inch wheel size and insert characteristics are optimised for this scale and vehicle type, where low-speed trail driving and extreme articulation are the primary use cases.
