Key Features
- Soft Compound Rubber — The soft compound provides exceptional grip levels across a variety of surfaces, delivering superior traction during acceleration, cornering, and braking, which translates to faster lap times and more confidence behind the wheel of your ready to run RC car.
- Pre-Glued Construction — These tyres arrive fully glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for separate gluing and mounting processes, saving you time and ensuring perfect bond quality that prevents delamination during aggressive driving sessions.
- Bearing-Type Fitment — The bearing design allows the tyres to rotate smoothly on axles with bearing support, reducing rotational friction and improving overall efficiency and handling characteristics compared to non-bearing wheel setups.
- Chrome Finish — The distinctive chrome finish provides both aesthetic appeal and enhanced durability, protecting the wheel from impacts and weathering whilst maintaining a professional competition appearance.
- Foam Inserts Included — Pre-installed foam inserts are supplied with each tyre, providing the right amount of support and compliance for optimal performance on your 1/10 scale RC buggy or stadium truck.
- Stadium Truck Compatibility — Specifically engineered for 1/10 stadium trucks and racing buggies, these tyres are optimised for the unique handling demands of these vehicle classes, ensuring predictable performance and consistent behaviour through corners.
- Multiple Vehicle Compatibility — These tyres fit the GP JATO 2WD FR, GP Stampede 2WD FR, GP Rustler 2WD FR, and 1/10 Stadium Truck platforms, making them a versatile upgrade option for users with multiple compatible vehicles.
Technical Performance
The LOUISE RC ST-UPHILL 1/10 tyres deliver impressive technical specifications that justify their position as a premium choice for serious RC enthusiasts. With a tyre diameter of 101.5mm and width of 52.0mm, these tyres provide an optimal contact patch for the 1/10 stadium truck and on-road buggy categories. The soft compound construction is specifically formulated to maintain grip levels across a wider temperature range than harder compounds, ensuring consistent performance whether you're driving in cool morning sessions or warmer afternoon conditions. The bearing-type fitting means these wheels integrate seamlessly with modern RC cars that utilise bearing-supported axles, reducing friction losses and allowing for snappier handling response. The pre-glued construction uses professional-grade adhesives that bond the rubber tyre to the wheel structure, creating a unified assembly that won't separate under the stresses of aggressive cornering, hard acceleration, or high-speed impacts. For owners of JATO 2WD, Stampede 2WD, Rustler 2WD, and similar 1/10 scale stadium truck platforms, upgrading to the ST-UPHILL tyres represents a meaningful improvement in on-track performance, offering the kind of grip advantage that can shave precious tenths of seconds from your lap times or simply make recreational bashing sessions more enjoyable and controlled.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which RC cars do these LOUISE RC ST-UPHILL tyres fit? — These tyres are designed for 1/10 scale vehicles including the GP JATO 2WD FR, GP Stampede 2WD FR, GP Rustler 2WD FR, and general 1/10 stadium truck platforms. Always check your vehicle's specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility with bearing-type wheel fitments.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, the LOUISE RC ST-UPHILL tyres are suitable for both beginners and experienced racers. Beginners will appreciate the improved grip and handling that soft compound tyres provide compared to harder alternatives, whilst experienced drivers will value the performance consistency and lap time improvements these premium tyres deliver.
- What is a soft compound tyre and why would I choose one? — Soft compound tyres use a more pliable rubber formulation compared to medium or hard compounds, providing significantly better grip levels across various track surfaces and temperatures. Racing drivers choose soft compounds when maximum traction is the priority, such as in stadium truck racing or competitive buggy events where lap time performance is critical.
- Do these tyres come ready to use? — Absolutely. The LOUISE RC ST-UPHILL tyres are supplied pre-glued and with foam inserts already installed, meaning you can simply fit them to your compatible RC car and start driving immediately without any additional preparation or mounting work required.
- What is a bearing-type fitment? — Bearing fitment means the wheel rotates on bearing-supported axles rather than bushings, offering smoother rotation, less friction, and improved handling response. Most modern 1/10 scale RC cars use bearing axles, making these tyres a standard choice for contemporary vehicles.
- Can I use these tyres on other RC vehicles? — These tyres are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale stadium trucks and on-road buggies. Using them on other scales or vehicle types would result in poor fitment and handling. Always verify your vehicle's scale and wheel type before purchasing replacement tyres.
