Available here at RC Model Shop, these tyres are in stock and ready to ship to anywhere in the UK, making them an accessible upgrade for weekend bashers and competition-minded drivers alike.

Key Features

• Memory Foam Construction — The integrated memory foam compound absorbs shock energy and impacts, which means your crawler maintains better traction on rocky and uneven surfaces whilst the suspension components experience less stress during hard impacts. This technology allows the tyre to conform closely to obstacles, improving grip and predictability.
• 105mm Diameter Size — At 105 millimetres in diameter, these tyres are sized perfectly for 1.9-inch rim crawler setups, making them compatible with a wide range of popular crawler chassis and wheel combinations available to UK RC enthusiasts.
• 1.9-Inch Rim Compatibility — The 1.9-inch (49mm) rim specification means these tyres fit standard 1.9 beadlock and non-beadlock wheels, giving you maximum flexibility when choosing or upgrading your wheel setup without requiring new rims.
• Crawler-Optimised Tread Pattern — The Scapa tread pattern is specifically designed for rock crawling and technical terrain navigation, offering aggressive bite characteristics that provide reliable traction on loose soil, sand, rocks, and other challenging surfaces.
• Durable Rubber Compound — These tyres are manufactured from a tough rubber material that resists wear during extended crawling sessions, meaning you'll get extended tyre life even during regular competitive use or enthusiastic weekend driving.
• Pair Configuration — Supplied as a pair (PR = pair), these tyres give you complete coverage for the rear axle of your crawler, or you can pair them with additional sets for a complete four-wheel upgrade.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Scapa Crawler Tyre represents engineering focused entirely on off-road climbing performance and technical terrain mastery. With a 105-millimetre outer diameter and 1.9-inch rim compatibility, these tyres integrate seamlessly into crawler builds running popular platforms like Traxxas TRX-4 models, Axial Racing vehicles, and similar scale crawler platforms found throughout the UK RC community. The memory foam technology is the standout engineering feature here—it provides cushioning that traditional hard-compound tyres simply cannot match, absorbing the shock loads generated when your crawler tackles steep rock gardens, logs, and vertical obstacles. This cushioning effect translates directly into better traction and more predictable handling, as the tyre maintains consistent contact with the terrain rather than bouncing. The aggressive Scapa tread pattern bites into loose surfaces like sand and dirt whilst providing excellent purchase on rocky terrain. The durable rubber compound withstands the rigorous demands of serious crawling, resisting tears and punctures that would compromise lesser-quality tyres. Whether you're running a competition-focused crawler setup or simply want to elevate your weekend trail-driving experience, these tyres deliver measurable performance improvements in terrain-handling capability and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Fastrax Scapa tyres suitable for beginner RC crawler drivers? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst these are performance-focused crawler tyres, they work excellently for drivers at all skill levels. The memory foam cushioning actually makes them forgiving for learners because the tyre conforms to terrain irregularities, providing more consistent grip. Beginners will find they improve their crawler's handling characteristics immediately compared to harder compound tyres.
• What vehicles are these 105mm 1.9-inch Scapa tyres compatible with? — These tyres fit any RC crawler using 1.9-inch rims, which includes Traxxas TRX-4 models, Axial SCX24, Axial Capra, and most other modern scale crawlers. If your vehicle uses 1.9-inch wheels, these tyres will fit perfectly. Check your current wheel specifications to confirm compatibility.
• How do the memory foam tyres compare to standard hard-compound crawler tyres? — The memory foam construction provides superior shock absorption and terrain conformity compared to traditional hard-compound tyres. Standard tyres tend to bounce and skip across obstacles, whilst memory foam tyres grip more consistently and maintain better contact with uneven surfaces. The trade-off is that memory foam may wear slightly faster under extremely aggressive use, but the performance improvement in handling and traction is substantial.
• Can I use just one pair of these tyres or should I buy multiple pairs? — A single pair covers the rear axle of most crawlers. Many serious crawler operators purchase multiple pairs so they can rotate through them, extending overall tyre life. For a complete four-wheel upgrade, you would typically purchase two pairs.
• What terrain types do these Scapa crawler tyres perform best on? — The Scapa tread pattern excels on rocks, sand, dirt, loose soil, and mixed terrain. The memory foam construction means they perform particularly well on rough, obstacle-heavy courses where impact absorption matters. They're excellent for scale trail driving and rock crawling competitions throughout the UK.
• Are these tyres waterproof for wet conditions? — Rubber tyres are inherently water-resistant, and these Scapa tyres perform adequately in wet conditions. However, for extremely waterlogged terrain, you may want to allow them to dry slightly between sessions to maintain optimal performance. The memory foam material itself is not affected by moisture exposure.
