Z-T0129

Overview

The RC4WD Mud Basher 2.2" Scale Tractor Tyres (Z-T0129) are purpose-built scale tyres designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand authentic styling and reliable performance on their 2.2-inch wheel setups. Whether you're running a scale crawler, an off-road basher, or any RC car UK platform that uses 2.2-class wheels, these tyres deliver the bold, aggressive tread pattern that captures the look of real agricultural machinery whilst maintaining the grip and durability needed for genuine off-road driving. RC4WD has built its reputation on precision engineering and attention to scale detail, and these Mud Basher tyres are a perfect example of that commitment to quality.

Perfect for hobbyists seeking a ready to run tyre solution without the need for complex fitting or lengthy installation procedures, the Mud Basher 2.2" tyres come supplied as a pair with foam inserts included. This means you can unbox them and get straight to the action without hunting down additional components. The combination of RC4WD's advanced X2SS compound and the authentic scale tread design makes these tyres an ideal upgrade for anyone running a 2.2-class RC vehicle who wants to improve both the visual appeal and the off-road capability of their build.

These tyres are especially suited to Axial Yeti 1/10 platforms and other compatible 2.2-inch wheel systems across the brushless RC car UK market. The bold geometric tread pattern doesn't just look impressive—it's engineered to bite into loose terrain and provide predictable traction whether you're tackling muddy trails, sandy patches, or rocky outcrops. With RC Model Shop's expert knowledge and UK-based service, upgrading your RC vehicle with these proven tyres has never been easier.

Key Features

• Advanced X2SS Compound — RC4WD's proprietary X2SS rubber compound has been developed through years of real-world testing to deliver consistent grip across a wide range of terrain types and weather conditions, ensuring your tyres maintain their performance whether you're driving in dry conditions or after recent rain.
• Authentic Scale Appearance — The bold, deeply-cut tread pattern is inspired by real agricultural tractor tyres, giving your RC build a genuine scale look that sets it apart from generic off-road tyres and appeals to scale enthusiasts and collectors who demand accuracy in every detail.
• Supplied as a Pair with Foam Inserts — You receive two complete Mud Basher tyres plus two matched foam inserts, eliminating the need to source additional parts separately and ensuring the setup is optimised from the moment you unbox them.
• 2.2-Inch Mounting Diameter — Purpose-engineered for 2.2-inch wheel systems, these tyres deliver the correct sizing to ensure proper vehicle geometry, handling balance, and ground clearance without requiring any modifications or adaptations to your existing RC setup.
• Proven RC4WD Engineering — Built by a manufacturer recognised worldwide for scale RC excellence, these tyres benefit from the company's decades of experience in tyre design, compound development, and off-road performance optimisation.
• Optimised for Scale Crawlers and Bashers — The tread design and compound are specifically tuned for vehicles that prioritise scale appearance and versatile off-road performance rather than pure speed, making them ideal for slower, more technical driving.

Technical Performance

The Mud Basher 2.2" Scale Tractor Tyres represent a carefully balanced approach to RC tyre engineering that prioritises both visual authenticity and genuine off-road performance. The outer diameter of 5.94 inches (151mm) combined with a width of 2.21 inches (56.3mm) and an inner diameter of 2.11 inches (53.6mm) creates proportions that deliver proper ride height and handling characteristics for 2.2-class vehicles. Each tyre weighs 5.5 ounces (156 grams), keeping the unsprung weight manageable whilst providing the structural integrity needed for consistent performance across varied terrain. The advanced X2SS compound is formulated to maintain grip consistency across temperature ranges and surface types, critical for builders who want reliable traction without constantly swapping tyre types. The bold, deep tread pattern serves dual purposes: it provides genuine bite on loose terrain like mud and sand, whilst the geometric cuts and angles catch light effectively for that authentic scale tractor appearance that collectors and scale enthusiasts demand. RC4WD's engineering approach ensures these tyres work harmoniously with RC4WD wheels and suspension systems, though fitment compatibility with other manufacturers' products may vary due to different design methodologies across the industry. The foam inserts are matched to the tyre profile, providing optimal support and shape retention during cornering and off-road impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the RC4WD Mud Basher 2.2" tyres fit my Axial Yeti 1/10? — Yes, these tyres are specifically listed as compatible with the Axial Yeti 1/10 platform. RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together seamlessly, and the Mud Basher 2.2" format is designed for this popular scale crawler chassis.
• Can I use these tyres with non-RC4WD wheels? — While RC4WD tyres and wheels are optimised to work together, some cross-compatibility with other manufacturers' 2.2-inch wheels is possible. However, due to different design methods used across the industry, outcomes when mixing manufacturers cannot be guaranteed. For best results and assured fitment, RC4WD recommends pairing their tyres with RC4WD wheels.
• What makes the X2SS compound different from standard RC tyre rubber? — The X2SS compound is RC4WD's advanced rubber formulation developed specifically for off-road performance and durability. It maintains consistent grip across varying terrains and temperatures, providing predictable traction whether you're crawling over rocks, driving through mud, or navigating sandy trails.
• Do these tyres come with wheels included? — No, the Mud Basher 2.2" tyres are sold separately from wheels. The product includes two tyres and two foam inserts only. You will need compatible 2.2-inch wheels to mount these tyres, such as RC4WD's Raceline Monster 2.2" Beadlock Wheels or other compatible options.
• Are these tyres suitable for high-speed racing? — These tyres are designed for scale crawlers and versatile off-road bashers rather than high-speed racing applications. The bold tread pattern and compound are optimised for traction and authentic appearance in technical, lower-speed driving rather than maximum velocity performance.
• What is the difference between these Mud Basher tyres and standard RC buggy or monster truck tyres? — The Mud Basher 2.2" tyres are specifically engineered with a scale tractor aesthetic, featuring bold, deep tread patterns that replicate real agricultural tyres. They are tuned for terrain versatility and visual authenticity rather than the minimalist tread patterns of racing-focused tyres, making them ideal for scale builders and trail enthusiasts.
• Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — The foam inserts are included to help retain the tyre shape on the rim. Depending on your specific wheel choice and driving intensity, you may choose to use tyre glue for additional security, but this is typically optional with foam insert systems. Always follow the wheel manufacturer's recommendations.
