Overview
The Louise RC SC-Hummer 1/10 Soft Slash RR tyres in black are purpose-built performance tyres designed for short course RC trucks and stadium racers. Whether you're running a Traxxas Slash, an FTX Apache, or any compatible 1/10 scale short course vehicle, these tyres deliver the grip and durability you need to dominate on track or bash at home. Louise RC is recognised globally for creating high-quality, competitively-priced RC tyres, and the SC-Hummer series is no exception. If you're serious about RC car performance in the UK, upgrading to quality tyres like these is one of the best investments you can make for your RC hobby.
These soft compound tyres come pre-glued to wheels with inserts already installed, which means you can fit them to your truck and get straight out to the track or terrain. No time wasted messing about with tyre glue or struggling to fit inserts—they're ready to bolt on with the 12mm hex fitment that's standard on most modern 1/10 short course trucks. The black colour looks sharp on any RC vehicle, and the robust construction means they'll handle repeated use through concrete, tarmac, grass and dirt without tearing or chunking.
These tyres are ideal for anyone stepping up from basic foam tyres or looking to upgrade their existing setup with proven performance rubber. Available from RC Model Shop, a trusted UK RC retailer, you can order with confidence knowing you're getting genuine Louise RC products backed by expert support.
Key Features
- Soft Compound Rubber — The soft compound provides excellent grip on a wide variety of surfaces, which translates to faster lap times, better acceleration traction, and more predictable handling characteristics during competitive racing or casual bashing sessions.
- Pre-Glued and Ready to Fit — These tyres arrive already glued to the wheels with inserts installed, eliminating the tedious preparation work and getting you on the track immediately without requiring tyre glue, hex drivers or insert-fitting tools.
- 12mm Hex Fitment — The universal 12mm hex fitment works with the vast majority of 1/10 scale short course trucks including Traxxas Slash models, FTX Apache trucks, and other compatible platforms, making them a versatile upgrade choice.
- Wide Compatibility — These tyres fit 1/10 short course trucks, Slash R, Slash 4x4 front and rear, SCRT10 front and rear, and Blitz models, meaning you're not locked into a single vehicle platform.
- Pair of Wheels Included — You receive two complete wheels, suitable for running as front and rear combinations or as a spare pair for rotation during extended racing sessions.
- 108.4mm Diameter — The precisely engineered 108.4mm tyre diameter is optimised for 1/10 short course truck geometry, ensuring correct ground clearance, speedometer accuracy, and suspension geometry.
- 45mm Tyre Width — The 45mm width provides a wide contact patch for maximum grip without compromising manoeuvrability or creating excessive rolling resistance on tighter tracks.
- Black Finish — The professional black colour complements any RC truck livery and offers better aesthetic appeal than basic grey or white foam tyres.
Technical Performance
These Louise RC SC-Hummer tyres represent genuine performance rubber engineering for 1/10 scale short course trucks. The soft compound construction is specifically formulated to deliver maximum grip across varying terrain conditions, from smooth indoor racing floors to outdoor dirt and grass surfaces. The pre-glued assembly eliminates variables introduced during manual gluing, ensuring consistent tyre-to-wheel interface and reducing the risk of bead separation during hard cornering or jumps. The 45mm width combined with the 108.4mm diameter creates a footprint that balances traction with predictability—wide enough to bite through acceleration but not so wide that it creates excessive drag. The inserts are already installed and bonded, which means the tyre maintains its shape under load and resists deformation that can occur with lower-quality foam inserts. Build quality is excellent throughout, with no visible defects, bubbling, or irregularities in the rubber compound. For competitive racers in the UK looking to extract every tenth of a second from their lap times, or for bashers who want tyres that will survive extended sessions in gravel and rocky terrain, these tyres punches well above their price point. The 12mm hex fitment is the industry standard for 1/10 trucks, ensuring trouble-free mounting and unmounting when you need to rotate tyres or switch between setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Louise RC tyres suitable for both racing and bashing? — Yes. The soft compound is versatile enough for competitive track racing where grip is paramount, but also durable enough for recreational bashing on rough terrain. Many RC car UK enthusiasts use the same tyres for both purposes, simply adjusting driving style between smooth and rough surfaces.
- Will these tyres fit my Traxxas Slash? — Yes, these tyres are specifically listed as compatible with Traxxas Slash R, Slash 4x4, Slash 2WD, and Slash Extreme HD models. The 12mm hex fitment is standard across the Slash range. If you own a Slash 4x4 or Slash 2WD, these will bolt straight on with no modifications needed.
- What is the wheel offset, and does it matter? — The wheel offset is listed as TBC (to be confirmed). Offset refers to how far inboard or outboard the wheel sits relative to the hub. Contact RC Model Shop or Louise RC directly if precise offset specifications are critical to your setup, though for general use the standard offset will work fine on most Slash variants.
- Do I need to buy anything else to use these tyres? — No. Because they arrive pre-glued with inserts already installed, you simply remove them from the packaging and fit them to your truck using the 12mm hex connection. You do not need tyre glue, inserts, rim cement, or any installation tools—they are ready to run straight away.
- How do soft compound tyres compare to medium or hard compound? — Soft compounds provide maximum grip but wear faster under sustained use, making them ideal for racing where lap time is everything. Hard compounds last longer but offer less traction. Medium compounds split the difference. For UK racers who want the best grip available, soft is the way to go.
- Will one pair of these tyres last for a full season of racing? — That depends on intensity and surface. Hard outdoor dirt and repeated racing will wear soft compound tyres noticeably faster than occasional bashing. Many competitive racers keep multiple pairs on rotation. For casual use, one pair should last several months with normal wear.
- Are these ready-to-run RC tyres better than stock Traxxas Slash tyres? — Louise RC is an established brand with a strong reputation for quality, and the SC-Hummer soft compound generally offers better grip and more consistent performance than the basic rubber tyres included with stock Slash trucks. This makes them an excellent upgrade for anyone serious about maximising their vehicle's performance.
