Z-T0099

Overview

The RC4WD Tomahawk 1.9" Scale Tyres (Z-T0099) represent a premium tyre option for serious RC crawler and scale truck enthusiasts across the UK. Designed by renowned RC crawler specialist HCRC Guy from Massachusetts, these 1.9-inch tyres deliver authentic scale appearance combined with an aggressive, competition-ready tread pattern that sets them apart from standard RC car tyres. Whether you're running an RC4WD vehicle, a Gmade Sawback, or any other quality 1.9-inch wheel system, the Tomahawk tyres provide the visual authenticity and performance characteristics that separates serious hobbyists from casual users.

These tyres come supplied as a pair, complete with foam inserts and a thoughtful bonus set of free wheel weights. The inclusion of wheel weights demonstrates RC Model Shop's commitment to providing complete solutions rather than partial packages. This is particularly valuable when you're mid-session and need to swap tyres to adjust your vehicle's handling characteristics. The Tomahawk range is essential for anyone building a high-quality 1.9-inch scale crawler or rock crawler truck, and whether you're a seasoned competitor in the UK RC scene or progressively building your first dedicated crawler platform, these tyres will enhance both the appearance and capability of your rig.

For those seeking ready to run RC vehicles or building custom setups, the Tomahawk 1.9" Scale Tyres represent the kind of component-level investment that separates show-quality builds from purely functional ones. The distinctive tread design catches the eye whether your vehicle is displayed on a shelf or actively crawling challenging terrain. Many UK RC enthusiasts view tyre choice as fundamental to the overall aesthetic and performance of their scale crawlers, and the Tomahawk delivers on both fronts.

Key Features

• Scale-Accurate Tread Design — The Tomahawk tyres feature a unique tread pattern specifically engineered to look authentic and scale-appropriate on 1.9-inch wheels, ensuring your RC4WD or other crawler platform maintains realistic proportions and appearance from every angle. This attention to scale detail is crucial for builders who take pride in their vehicles' authenticity.
• Aggressive Tread Pattern — Beyond mere aesthetics, the aggressive tread design provides genuine functional benefits for off-road crawling and technical terrain, offering improved grip and traction characteristics compared to smoother tyre options. The tread geometry helps maintain control when navigating obstacles.
• Advanced X2S³ Rubber Compound — These tyres are manufactured using an advanced X2S³ compound formulation that balances durability with flexibility, allowing the tread to maintain its shape under load while resisting premature wear during extended crawling sessions. This compound technology is designed specifically for scale crawler applications.
• Included Foam Inserts — Each pair comes with matched foam inserts that are essential for proper tyre performance on 1.9-inch wheels, providing support and maintaining tyre shape during aggressive crawling. Quality foam is fundamental to reliable tyre performance, and RC4WD includes premium inserts as standard.
• Free Wheel Weights Included — The bonus set of wheel weights allows you to adjust your vehicle's weight distribution and centre of gravity without purchasing additional components separately. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning handling characteristics or compensating for weight changes when swapping tyre sets during the same session.
• Universal 1.9" Wheel Compatibility — While these tyres are engineered to work optimally with RC4WD wheels such as the BL19, X-0241, X-0242, X-0413, and X-0396 models, they are also compatible with quality 1.9-inch wheels from other manufacturers, providing flexibility in your build choices and allowing upgrades to existing vehicles without replacing wheels.
• Gmade Sawback Compatible — These tyres fit the popular Gmade Sawback platform, making them an excellent choice if you're building or upgrading that specific platform. The compatibility list demonstrates RC4WD's commitment to supporting multiple popular crawler platforms in the UK market.

Technical Performance

The Tomahawk 1.9" Scale Tyres are engineered for serious scale crawling performance with specifications that reflect purposeful design. At 104.2mm outer diameter with a width of 36.4mm (1.43 inches), these tyres provide optimal proportions for 1.9-inch mounting diameters, creating the classic scale appearance that defines modern RC crawlers. Each individual tyre weighs 2.55 ounces (73 grams), contributing to the vehicle's overall weight characteristics and centre of gravity considerations. The 1.90-inch (48mm) inner diameter ensures precise fitment on compatible wheel systems, and the advanced X2S³ rubber compound provides the perfect balance between durability and traction characteristics for extended crawling sessions. The tyre thread depth is engineered for consistent performance throughout the tyre's service life, maintaining grip characteristics as the tread gradually wears during use. These specifications make the Tomahawk an excellent choice for anyone running 1.9-inch crawlers in the UK, from weekend bashers to competitive crawlers who demand reliable, performance-focused components. The engineering quality reflects RC4WD's reputation as a manufacturer that understands the needs of serious RC crawler enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on component quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles are compatible with the RC4WD Tomahawk 1.9" Scale Tyres? — These tyres are engineered for 1.9-inch wheel platforms and work optimally with RC4WD wheels including the BL19, X-0241, X-0242, X-0413, and X-0396 models. They are also compatible with quality 1.9-inch wheels from other manufacturers, and specifically fit the popular Gmade Sawback platform. Always verify your wheel's inner diameter is 1.9 inches before purchasing. Due to the many different methods manufacturers use to design tyres and wheels, whilst RC4WD tyres and wheels work excellently together, fitment with other brands cannot be universally guaranteed, though most quality 1.9-inch wheels will accommodate these tyres successfully.
• How many tyres do I need for a complete crawler setup? — This set includes two Tomahawk tyres with foam inserts. A complete four-wheel crawler requires four tyres total, meaning you will need to purchase two sets of the Tomahawk 1.9" tyres to outfit your entire vehicle. This also allows you to have spare tyres available for rotation or quick swaps during extended crawling sessions.
• Are the foam inserts included? — Yes, every pair of Tomahawk 1.9" tyres comes with matched foam inserts included as standard. These foam inserts are essential for proper tyre performance, providing support and shape retention during crawling. The foam quality from RC4WD is recognised throughout the UK RC community as premium grade.
• What are the wheel weights for, and do I need them? — The complimentary wheel weights are included to allow you to adjust your vehicle's weight distribution and overall centre of gravity. By adding weight strategically during tyre changes, you can optimise your vehicle's handling characteristics for different terrain types or crawling styles. Whilst not mandatory, they provide valuable tuning flexibility without requiring additional purchases.
• What makes the Tomahawk tyres different from other 1.9-inch options? — The Tomahawk tyres feature a unique, scale-accurate tread design created specifically by HCRC Guy to provide both authentic appearance and aggressive off-road performance. The advanced X2S³ rubber compound is engineered for the demanding requirements of scale crawler applications, balancing durability with flexibility. The distinctive tread pattern sets them visually apart from competitors whilst delivering genuine functional benefits for technical terrain and obstacle crawling.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, these tyres are suitable for anyone running a 1.9-inch crawler platform, regardless of experience level. However, they are particularly appreciated by serious enthusiasts who value component quality and authentic scale appearance. Beginners who invest in these tyres will benefit from their durability and performance characteristics as their skills develop.
• What is the outer diameter of these tyres? — The Tomahawk 1.9" Scale Tyres have an outer diameter of 104.2mm (4.10 inches), which provides proper scale proportions on 1.9-inch wheels and contributes to the authentic appearance of your crawler build.
• Can I use these tyres on wheels from different manufacturers? — Whilst RC4WD tyres and wheels work optimally together, the Tomahawk 1.9" tyres are also compatible with quality 1.9-inch wheels from other manufacturers. Due to varying design methods across the industry, fitment with specific third-party wheels cannot be universally guaranteed, though most reputable 1.9-inch wheel designs will accommodate these tyres successfully. We recommend verifying your wheel's specifications match the 1.9-inch inner diameter requirement.
