Technical Performance

The RC4WD COMPASS M/T 1.55" Scale Tyres represent a significant advancement in scale tyre technology, utilising the company's Advanced X2S³ rubber compound to deliver exceptional performance characteristics. The 93.3mm outer diameter and 35.8mm width provide authentic proportions for 1/10-scale platforms, whilst the proprietary compound ensures consistent grip across multiple terrain surfaces including loose gravel, rocky outcrops and muddy trails. The integrated foam inserts are calibrated to work with the tyre's sidewall construction, providing optimal suspension feedback and ground contact pressure. At 2.04oz per tyre, the weight has been carefully optimised to maintain balanced handling dynamics without introducing rotational mass that could compromise acceleration or suspension response. RC4WD's engineering team has ensured that these tyres deliver predictable handling characteristics, making them suitable for both gentle trail running and technical rock crawling applications. The mud-terrain tread pattern is cast with precision to ensure even wear characteristics and authentic appearance throughout the tyre's service life. These tyres are specifically engineered to work with RC4WD's own wheel systems, ensuring that the bead interface, sidewall geometry and internal structure are perfectly matched for maximum performance and reliability.

Compatibility Guide

The RC4WD COMPASS M/T 1.55" Scale Tyres are engineered to fit the following RC4WD platforms: RC4WD Trail Finder 2 "LWB" RTR with Mojave II Four Door Body Set, RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit "LWB" with Mojave II Four Door Body Set, RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Truck Kit with Mojave II Body Set, RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR with Chevrolet Blazer Body Set (Limited Edition), RC4WD Gelande II RTR Truck Kit with D90 Body Set, RC4WD Gelande II Truck Kit with D90 Body Set, RC4WD Gelande II "LWB" RTR with D110 Body Set, RC4WD Gelande II D110 Truck Kit with Hard Body, RC4WD Gelande II RTR Truck Kit with Cruiser Body Set, and RC4WD Marlin Crawler Trail Finder 2 RTR with Mojave II Crawler Body Set. Whilst these tyres have been proven compatible with certain Element RC Enduro platforms when fitted with appropriate RC4WD beadlock wheels, full compatibility with non-RC4WD wheel systems cannot be guaranteed due to variations in bead geometry, internal diameter and sidewall construction across different manufacturers. Please note that due to many different methods used to design tyres and wheels, RC4WD can only guarantee optimal performance when their tyres are paired with their own wheel systems.

Important Information

These tyres are designed exclusively for 1.55-inch wheels — they will not fit other wheel sizes. A complete RC crawler or scale truck requires two sets of these tyres (four tyres total) to equip all four wheels. The tyre images shown in manufacturer documentation feature OEM 6-Lug Stamped Steel 1.55" Beadlock Wheels and RC4WD Walker Evans 501 Legend 1.55" Beadlock Wheels for reference purposes, but these wheels are not included in this product and must be purchased separately.
