Overview

The RC4WD Interco Super Swamper 2.2" TSL/Bogger Scale Tyre represents a significant advancement in scale tyre design for the dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK. These are not your standard off-road tyres — they are engineered to deliver authentic full-scale looks combined with serious off-road bite that will transform your 1/10 scale RC crawler or scaler. Whether you're bashing through muddy terrain, tackling rocky obstacles, or competing in scale crawling events across the UK, these tyres provide the iconic Bogger tread pattern that genuine mud-terrain enthusiasts recognise and respect. Supplied as a pair in RC4WD's advanced X2 SS compound, these tall 2.2" tyres represent one of the tallest 2.2" tyres to hit the scale RC market, living up to both the looks and height of their full-scale counterparts.

If you're searching for ready to run RC crawler tyres that deliver exceptional mud and rock traction without compromising on scale authenticity, the Interco Super Swamper TSL/Bogger is precisely what you need. The advanced compound technology ensures that whether you're crawling through challenging terrain or navigating technical rock gardens, your RC vehicle maintains grippy, responsive contact with the ground. These tyres are particularly popular amongst scale crawler enthusiasts, trail runners, and serious bashers who demand both aesthetic appeal and genuine performance from their RC equipment. RC crawler tyres of this calibre are increasingly sought-after by those who refuse to compromise on either looks or capability.

The engineering behind these tyres reflects RC4WD's commitment to delivering scale products that respect the attention to detail demanded by serious RC hobbyists in the UK and beyond. The reinforced sidewall construction ensures durability during aggressive off-road use, whilst the carefully engineered tread pattern provides the visual authenticity that scale-conscious drivers demand. These aren't basic rubber tyres — they're precision-engineered components designed to elevate your entire RC experience, whether you're competing or simply enjoying weekend bashing with friends.

Key Features

• Advanced X2 SS Compound (Super Soft & Super Sticky) — RC4WD's proprietary X2 SS compound represents a significant leap forward in tyre technology for scale RC vehicles, delivering exceptional adhesion on both mud and rock surfaces whilst maintaining flexibility in varied terrain conditions. This super soft and super sticky formulation ensures consistent grip across changing ground conditions, which is absolutely critical when navigating technical courses or unpredictable natural terrain.
• Iconic Bogger Tread Pattern — The authentic Interco Bogger tread design isn't merely cosmetic; it's engineered to channel mud away from the contact patch and provide genuine mechanical grip on loose, slippery surfaces. The distinctive tread blocks create the visual character that scale enthusiasts recognise and appreciate, whilst functionally improving traction in challenging conditions.
• Outstanding Scale Height at 5.7 Inches (145mm) — These are genuinely among the tallest 2.2" tyres available in the scale RC market, delivering proportional sizing that creates an authentic stance and appearance on your 1/10 scaler. The tall profile contributes significantly to the overall scale aesthetic whilst also providing increased ground clearance for technical crawling situations.
• Reinforced Sidewall Construction — The reinforced sidewall design provides essential durability and puncture resistance during aggressive off-road use, preventing tyre damage from sharp rocks, branches, and rough terrain that would damage standard RC tyres. This robust construction means your tyres will survive extended play sessions in genuinely challenging environments.
• Supplied as Matched Pair with Foam Inserts — Each purchase includes two identically matched tyres ensuring balanced handling and consistent performance across both drive wheels, plus foam inserts to provide proper cushioning and support. This complete package approach means you have everything needed to install a matching set immediately.
• Precision Weight at 146g Each (5.15oz) — The carefully engineered weight distribution of these tyres contributes to proper vehicle balance and handling dynamics, essential for serious crawler enthusiasts who understand how unsprung mass affects performance on challenging terrain.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Interco Super Swamper 2.2" TSL/Bogger Scale Tyre delivers genuine performance improvements grounded in thoughtful engineering rather than marketing hype. The X2 SS compound represents genuine material science, providing a tyre that remains pliable in cooler UK conditions whilst maintaining grip even when pushing hard through mud and loose terrain. The 5.7-inch outer diameter combined with the 1.83-inch width creates a tyre profile that delivers authentic scale proportions — this isn't exaggerated or cartoonish, but rather a genuine representation of what you'd see on full-scale vehicles. The 56mm inner diameter ensures compatibility with standard 2.2-inch RC wheels, though RC4WD specifically recommends pairing these tyres with RC4WD wheels for optimised performance, though they have been shown to work with other quality wheel brands. The reinforced sidewall construction isn't cosmetic; it's structural engineering that prevents the sidewall flex and damage common with standard scale tyres, extending the effective lifespan of your tyres significantly. At 146 grams each, the weight is carefully calibrated to provide proper unsprung mass for technical crawling without introducing unnecessary rotational inertia that would slow acceleration. Whether you're tackling rocky creek beds, muddy moorland, or constructed scale courses, the tread pattern and compound work together to maintain consistent grip across varying surface conditions that UK trail runners and scale crawlers regularly encounter.

Compatibility and Installation

These 2.2-inch tyres are confirmed compatible with the Axial Yeti 1/10 scale crawler, one of the most popular dedicated crawling platforms in the UK hobby. The tyres have been photographed mounted on Twister 30mm wheels and installed on various crawlers including builds featuring Coldbore wheels, demonstrating their versatility across quality wheel options. However, it's important to understand that RC4WD designs their tyres and wheels to work together as an optimised system. Whilst in many cases RC4WD tyres will work with other manufacturers' wheels and tyres, outcomes cannot be guaranteed due to the many different design methodologies used across the industry. If you're planning to pair these with non-RC4WD wheels, contact our team at RC Model Shop for specific compatibility advice before purchasing. A single-tyre option is also available separately (model Z-P0026) for customers needing to replace or refresh a single damaged tyre rather than purchasing a complete pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the RC4WD Interco Super Swamper tyres good for beginners? — These tyres are absolutely suitable for newcomers to RC crawling and scaling, as the X2 SS compound provides forgiving traction characteristics that reward smooth driving whilst still delivering responsive handling. The iconic tread pattern is visually satisfying even for casual drivers, and the quality construction means you won't be frustrated by premature tyre failure. Whether you're just discovering scale crawling or returning to the hobby after a break, these tyres will enhance your experience immediately.
• What makes the X2 SS compound different from standard RC tyres? — The X2 SS (Super Soft & Super Sticky) compound is RC4WD's proprietary formulation specifically engineered for scale crawler and off-road performance. Standard budget RC tyres use harder rubber designed primarily for speed; the X2 SS is deliberately softer to maintain grip in varied terrain conditions, and stickier to maximise adhesion on both mud and rock surfaces. This fundamental difference means the tyres work better on natural terrain and technical courses, which is what separates serious scale products from basic RC tyres.
• Will these tyres fit my RC vehicle? — These 2.2-inch mount diameter tyres are confirmed compatible with the Axial Yeti 1/10, and will fit any RC crawler or scale vehicle designed for 2.2-inch tyres. The 5.7-inch outer diameter makes them one of the tallest options available, so if your vehicle normally runs shorter tyres, these will raise ground clearance slightly and alter the overall proportions. We recommend confirming fitment with our Walsall-based team before ordering if you're uncertain about compatibility with your specific build.
• How do the Interco Super Swamper tyres compare to other 2.2-inch scale tyres? — The primary distinction is height — at 5.7 inches outer diameter, these are genuinely amongst the tallest 2.2-inch tyres available, delivering superior scale aesthetics and increased ground clearance compared to shorter alternatives. The X2 SS compound is specifically engineered for muddy and rocky terrain rather than general purpose use, making these the choice for serious trail runners and scale crawlers. The iconic Bogger tread pattern is instantly recognisable and functionally superior on loose terrain compared to simpler tread designs found on budget alternatives.
• Can I use these tyres with non-RC4WD wheels? — Technically possible, but RC4WD cannot guarantee outcomes when mixing brands, as different manufacturers use different design methodologies. RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together as an integrated system. If you're considering pairing these tyres with alternative wheels, contact our expert team at RC Model Shop for specific compatibility advice — we can usually confirm whether your chosen combination will work well together.
• How long do these tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on usage intensity, terrain severity, and maintenance habits. The reinforced sidewall construction provides excellent durability compared to standard RC tyres, meaning these will withstand rocky terrain and aggressive off-road use much better than budget alternatives. Proper inflation and regular inspection will extend lifespan significantly. Many scale enthusiasts find these tyres provide hundreds of run-hours of reliable service before requiring replacement.
