LOUISE RC CR-CHAMP 1/10 2.2 SUPER SOFT BLACK CHROME HEX 12MM L-T3236VBC

Overview

The Louise RC CR-CHAMP 1/10 2.2 Super Soft Black Chrome Hex 12mm tyres represent the pinnacle of crawler tyre engineering, designed specifically for serious RC crawlers and rock-climbing enthusiasts across the UK. These are not generic tyres — they are purpose-built crawler tyres that have become a reference standard amongst dedicated crawler drivers who demand exceptional grip and flexibility to conquer the most challenging terrain. If you're running an RC crawler like the Axial RR 10, Axial Wraith 2.2, or Axial Yeti 10th, these premium mounted tyres will transform your vehicle's performance on rocks, obstacles and varied surfaces.

What makes the Louise RC CR-CHAMP series stand out in the crowded RC tyre market is the company's obsessive attention to detail in both engineering and manufacturing. These are mounted and glued tyres, arriving ready to install on your 12mm hex wheel adapters, which means you can get your RC crawler on the trail immediately without the hassle of mounting and gluing yourself. Louise RC has spent years perfecting the art of bonding tyres to wheels using specially formulated rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive, with a production process that includes grinding, degreasing, precision gluing with a computer-controlled dosing machine, and individual quality testing of every single tyre-wheel assembly.

Whether you're a weekend basher exploring your local quarry or a competition-level crawler tackling extreme rock formations, these Louise RC CR-CHAMP tyres deliver the grip, durability and performance that separates serious RC enthusiasts from casual hobbyists. They represent genuine quality that justifies the investment, backed by years of proven performance in the crawler community.

Key Features

• Super Soft Rubber Compound — The super soft compound is specifically engineered to provide exceptional grip on all surfaces whilst maintaining the flexibility required to conform to rocks and obstacles, which is essential for slow-speed crawler driving where you need maximum traction without breaking traction on uneven terrain.
• Pre-Mounted and Glued Ready to Use — These tyres arrive fully glued to your black chrome wheels, eliminating the time-consuming and often frustrating process of mounting and bonding tyres yourself, so you can spend more time driving and less time in the workshop.
• Precision Manufacturing Process — Each tyre undergoes a rigorous seven-step manufacturing process including surface grinding, degreasing, computer-controlled adhesive application, pressure curing and individual spinning and pulling tests to guarantee perfect bonding that will withstand extreme forces during crawling.
• Specialized Crawler Tyre Structure — Unlike general-purpose RC tyres, these are engineered with a totally different tyre structure and rubber formulation specifically for crawler applications, allowing the tyres to flex and conform to obstacles whilst delivering exceptional grip at low speeds.
• Foam Cut Inserts Included — The tyres feature cut-to-size foam inserts selected for specific density and size to provide perfect dampening characteristics and form stability, ensuring the tyres maintain their shape under the extreme loads of crawling and high-angle climbing.
• Lightweight and Well-Balanced — At 189 grams per complete tyre and wheel assembly, these are optimised for 1/10 scale crawlers, providing the right weight for traction without unnecessarily loading your servo motors and drivetrain.
• Black Chrome Finish Wheels — The wheels feature an attractive black chrome colour that looks professional and is finished with a sealed surface, and they're manufactured from high-quality nylon composite materials reinforced with fibre for exceptional strength and flexibility under extreme loads.
• Wide Fitment Compatibility — Designed to fit a wide range of popular 1/10 scale crawlers including Axial models, with a standard 2.2-inch wheel diameter and 12mm hex fitment, making them an ideal replacement tyre set for most modern RC crawlers.

Technical Performance

The Louise RC CR-CHAMP tyres represent a fundamental shift in approach to crawler tyre engineering compared to general-purpose RC tyres. The wheels are manufactured from a specially developed nylon composite formulation supplied by DuPont, reinforced with fibre to create a material that offers exceptional strength and flexibility simultaneously — this balance is critical because the wheels must withstand the enormous forces generated during crawling whilst remaining flexible enough to conform to rocky terrain. The tyre diameter of 151mm and width of 57mm are precisely proportioned for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, offering the right ground clearance and contact patch for technical crawling. The super soft rubber compound is fundamentally different from racing tyres; it prioritises grip on varied surfaces and flexibility over durability, which is exactly what crawler drivers need when piloting their vehicles over rock formations, logs and other obstacles at speeds where traction dominates performance. The foam inserts are cut to size and selected for specific density ratings that provide both dampening to smooth out impacts from rocks and maintains the tyre's shape under extreme lateral loads. The manufacturing process uses a specially formulated rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive developed exclusively for Louise RC, applied with computer-controlled precision to ensure consistent bonding. Each completed tyre and wheel assembly is then submitted to individual spinning and pulling tests before shipping, meaning every set you receive has already passed rigorous quality control. The 12mm hex fitment and zero offset design make these universal across most modern 1/10 scale crawlers in the UK market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What crawler models do these Louise RC CR-CHAMP tyres fit? — These tyres are designed for 1/10 scale crawlers with 2.2-inch wheels and 12mm hex wheel adapters. They are officially confirmed to fit the Axial RR 10, Axial Wraith 2.2, and Axial Yeti 10th. Louise RC provides a comprehensive tyre-wheel compatibility chart on their website which you should consult to verify fitment with your specific model, as many other 1/10 crawlers from various manufacturers also use 2.2-inch wheels with 12mm hex adapters.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners to RC crawling? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst these are premium-quality tyres that will appeal to serious competitors, they are equally suitable for beginners because they arrive pre-mounted and glued, requiring no preparation before use. The super soft compound actually makes them forgiving for drivers learning crawler techniques, as the excellent grip helps prevent traction loss on rocks. If you're new to rock crawling and want quality tyres that will perform reliably, the Louise RC CR-CHAMP range is an excellent choice.
• Why do these tyres cost more than cheaper alternatives? — The premium pricing reflects the specialised engineering, precision manufacturing and stringent quality control that goes into every set. Louise RC employs a seven-step bonding process with computer-controlled adhesive application, surface grinding and degreasing, followed by individual mechanical tests on every assembly. The rubber compound is specially formulated for crawler use rather than being a generic racing compound. The wheels are made from DuPont fibre-reinforced nylon composite specifically developed for the extreme loads of crawling. You're paying for engineering expertise, dedicated materials and quality assurance that simply isn't available in budget alternatives.
• Are these tyres pre-glued, or do I need to glue them myself? — These tyres arrive fully pre-mounted and glued to the wheels, ready to install on your RC crawler immediately. The gluing is completed in the Louise RC factory using their proprietary rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive and precision manufacturing equipment. This eliminates one of the most technical and time-consuming aspects of tyre preparation, allowing you to start crawling immediately after purchasing.
• What's the difference between super soft and other Louise RC compound options? — The super soft compound in the CR-CHAMP series is specifically formulated to maximise grip on varied surfaces and flexibility to conform to obstacles at the slow speeds typical of rock crawling. If Louise RC manufactures other compound options in the CR-CHAMP line (such as soft or medium compounds), they would be progressively harder and less flexible, intended for different crawling conditions or driving styles. The super soft option is the most popular choice for serious crawler drivers in the UK.
• Can I run these tyres on the front and rear of my crawler? — Yes, the manufacturer specifications confirm these tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on 1/10 scale crawlers. They're designed as a complete tyre set that can be used across the entire vehicle, so you could purchase multiple sets to outfit all four wheels.
• How long will these tyres last? — That depends entirely on usage. The super soft compound is designed to provide maximum grip rather than maximum durability, so they will wear faster than harder compounds when used on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt. For crawling on rocks, dirt and terrain-park obstacles, they should provide many hours of reliable service. Proper tyre maintenance, avoiding prolonged exposure to UV sunlight and storing them in a cool place will extend their lifespan.
