Technical Performance
The RC4WD Interco IROK ND 1.55" Scale Tyres represent a remarkable achievement in scale RC engineering, combining genuine Interco tyre technology with RC4WD's advanced X2S³ compound formula to create tyres that deliver exceptional real-world performance. With an outer diameter of 3.83 inches (97.14mm), a width of 1.69 inches (42.89mm), and an inner diameter of 1.60 inches (40.54mm), these tyres offer the perfect proportions for authentic scale crawling. Each tyre weighs 2.26 ounces (64.0 grams), contributing to realistic unsprung mass characteristics that enhance the natural handling of your scale crawler. The advanced X2S³ compound delivers confident grip across rocks, mud, and snow – the three most challenging terrain types that scale crawlers encounter – whilst maintaining structural integrity through countless cycles of compression and deformation. The 30-degree foam inserts included in every package are engineered to work in harmony with the tyre's sidewall flexibility, providing the compliance needed for precise articulation and scale realism. RC4WD has invested considerable engineering effort to ensure these tyres work flawlessly with their own wheel designs, recognising that tyre and wheel compatibility is crucial for optimal performance. The design methodology means they perform best when paired with RC4WD wheels and vehicles such as the Trail Finder 2 and Gelande II platforms, though users should exercise caution when attempting fitment with other manufacturer wheels due to potential design differences.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my RC4WD scale crawler? — These 1.55" tyres are officially designed to fit RC4WD Trail Finder 2 and Gelande II platforms, as well as any vehicle using 1.55" wheels. RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together optimally. If you're using other manufacturer wheels or vehicles, compatibility may vary due to differing design methods, and RC4WD cannot guarantee fitment with non-RC4WD wheel designs, so check your specific wheel diameter before ordering.
- Why do I get two foam inserts with two tyres? — The 30-degree foam inserts are essential suspension components that provide the correct compliance and damping for scale crawling. Including two inserts (one per tyre) ensures you have everything needed for a proper installation and eliminates the need to purchase these components separately, saving you money and ensuring correct setup from the start.
- What makes the X2S³ compound special for RC tyres? — RC4WD's proprietary X2S³ compound is specifically formulated to deliver superior grip across rocks, mud, and snow whilst maintaining realistic tyre sidewall flex characteristics needed for scale crawling. This compound represents years of development focused on balancing traction performance with the authentic scale appearance and handling that serious crawlers demand, making it superior to generic rubber formulations used in budget-priced alternatives.
- Will these tyres work with my non-RC4WD 1.55" wheels? — Whilst some non-RC4WD wheels and tyres may work together, RC4WD cannot guarantee compatibility due to the many different design methodologies used by various manufacturers. RC4WD tyres and wheels are specifically engineered to work as a system, so for optimal fitment and performance, pairing these tyres with RC4WD wheels is strongly recommended. If you do choose to try other brands, test fitment carefully before committing to a full installation.
- How many sets do I need for a complete vehicle? — For a complete vehicle setup, you will need two sets of this product (Z-T0163), as each set contains two tyres and most 1.55" scale crawlers require four tyres total. Ordering two sets ensures you have a complete matched set for balanced handling and appearance.
- What makes these tyres different from other 1.55" scale options? — These tyres carry official Interco licensing, meaning they're based on genuine Interco tyre designs and manufactured with Interco's blessing using RC4WD's advanced X2S³ compound. This combination of authentic real-world tyre heritage with modern RC-specific compound technology sets them apart from generic alternatives, delivering both proven performance and genuine scale authenticity that enthusiasts value.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst these are premium tyres, they require no special knowledge or tools to install beyond what any RC enthusiast would have. The included foam inserts are pre-ready for installation, and the straightforward glue-and-mount process is accessible to beginners. The real benefit is that even beginner enthusiasts who invest in quality tyres from the start will experience noticeably better performance and handling compared to budget alternatives, making them an excellent choice for anyone serious about enjoying their scale crawler properly.
