If you're searching for high-quality RC tyres in the UK that combine scale realism with genuine off-road capability, the MICKEY THOMPSON BAJA MTZ P3 range stands apart from standard RC car tyres.

This product has been tested and approved by Recon G6, demonstrating that it meets strict standards for scale RC performance and quality. Perfect for enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their RC vehicle's capability and appearance, these tyres work seamlessly with RC4WD's own wheel range and maintain compatibility with other leading manufacturers where fitment allows.

Key Features

• Authentic Scale Detail — These tyres feature a realistic tread profile that replicates the genuine Mickey Thompson BAJA MTZ pattern, bringing your scale crawler to life with authentic cosmetics that justify the investment for serious RC enthusiasts.
• 1.9" Wheel Fitment — Designed specifically for 1.9" wheels, these tyres are the standard size for scale crawlers and trail trucks in the UK RC hobby scene, providing compatibility with thousands of existing wheel options.
• Included Foam Inserts — Each pair includes foam inserts that are essential for maintaining tyre shape, preventing damage during storage, and ensuring consistent performance across different driving conditions and terrains.
• Mickey Thompson Decal Sheet — An authentic decal sheet is included to add genuine Mickey Thompson branding to your build, completing the scale realism with factory-accurate graphics that enthusiasts value.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD MICKEY THOMPSON 1.9" BAJA MTZ P3 4.6" scale tyres represent advanced engineering in RC tyre design. The outer diameter of 4.60 inches (116.9 millimetres) combined with a width of 1.85 inches (47 millimetres) and inner diameter of 1.81 inches (46 millimetres) creates proportions that accurately represent full-scale off-road tyres at 4.6-inch scale. Each tyre weighs 2.32 ounces (66 grams), keeping rotational mass reasonable whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for challenging terrain. The Advanced X2 SS compound is engineered specifically for scale RC use, providing the grip necessary for technical rock crawling, muddy terrain, and slippery surfaces that builders encounter on UK trails and in competition environments. The super-soft and super-sticky nature of the compound ensures maximum contact patch engagement with irregular surfaces, whilst the realistic tread depth provides visual authenticity that enhances the scale appearance of your finished build. These tyres are designed to work optimally with RC4WD's own wheel range, though they maintain compatibility with many other manufacturers' 1.9" wheels where physical fitment allows. The foam inserts included with the purchase are crucial for maintaining tyre shape during storage and between driving sessions, preventing flat-spotting and ensuring consistent performance.

Compatibility Notes

These tyres are designed for 1.9" wheels and are shown installed on RC4WD Dick Cepek Gun Metal 7 1.9" Internal Beadlock Wheels (Z-W0027) in product photography, though wheels are not included with this purchase. RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together seamlessly, and these specific tyres maintain suggested compatibility with popular models including the Gmade Sawback. Due to the many different design methodologies used by various manufacturers, RC4WD cannot guarantee fitment with non-RC4WD wheels, though many combinations do work successfully. The 1.9" standard is widely recognised across the UK RC crawler and scale truck community, making these a safe choice for most modern builds.

Single Tyre Option Available

If you only need to replace one tyre or wish to test the product before committing to a full set, RC4WD offers the MICKEY THOMPSON 1.9" Single BAJA MTZ P3 4.6" Scale Tyre (model Z-P0051) as a standalone purchase option.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these 1.9" tyres fit my 1.9" beadlock wheels? — Yes, these tyres are designed for standard 1.9" wheel fitment and should fit onto any 1.9" beadlock wheel, including popular options like the Injora beadlock range. However, for guaranteed fitment and optimal performance, RC4WD recommends pairing these tyres with RC4WD's own wheel range, as the brand's wheels and tyres are engineered to work together perfectly.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners to RC crawling? — Absolutely. Whilst these tyres offer performance features valued by experienced competitors, they are equally suitable for beginners and casual RC enthusiasts. The included foam inserts make them easy to install and maintain, and the Super Soft Super Sticky compound actually makes it easier for newer drivers to maintain traction and control, building confidence as skills develop.
• What makes the X2 SS compound different from standard RC tyres? — The Advanced X2 SS compound is specifically formulated for scale RC applications, offering a significantly softer and stickier material than standard RC car tyres. This provides superior grip on rocky, muddy, and challenging terrain encountered on UK trails and competition courses, whilst the softer compound allows the realistic tread pattern to make better contact with irregular surfaces.
• Can I use these tyres with non-RC4WD wheels? — These tyres use the standard 1.9" fitting, so they will physically mount onto most 1.9" wheels from other manufacturers. However, RC4WD cannot guarantee perfect fitment or performance with non-RC4WD wheels, as different manufacturers use varying internal diameter specifications. For the best results and guaranteed compatibility, pairing with RC4WD wheels is recommended.
• Are foam inserts necessary? — Yes, foam inserts are essential for maintaining tyre shape, preventing flat-spotting during storage, and ensuring consistent performance. The inserts included with this purchase are specifically designed for these 1.9" tyres and should always be inserted when the vehicle is not in use.
• What is Recon G6 Certification? — Recon G6 Certification means this product has undergone rigorous independent testing and has been approved as meeting high standards for RC scale performance, durability, and quality. This certification provides assurance that you're purchasing a product that has been verified to perform as specified.
• How does the scale detail compare to other 1.9" tyres available in the UK? — RC4WD specifically states that the scale detail achieved in these tyres is beyond anything they have previously accomplished in the 1.9" category. The realistic BAJA MTZ tread pattern with authentic depth and profile represents a significant step forward in scale fidelity for 1.9" RC tyres.
• Will these tyres work on my Gmade Sawback? — Yes, these tyres are listed as having suggested compatibility with the Gmade Sawback. As with all tyre and wheel combinations across different manufacturers, fitment is possible and generally works well, though RC4WD cannot provide absolute guarantees for non-RC4WD wheel pairings.
