Overview

The RC4WD DUKW 1.9" Military Offroad Tyres (Z-T0011) are a specialist tyre option designed specifically for RC enthusiasts building authentic military-themed scale rigs. Whether you're constructing a historic military crawler, a themed scale build, or simply seeking tyres that deliver both authentic styling and genuine trail performance, these 1.9-inch tyres bring period-correct aesthetics to your RC car UK collection. The DUKW designation harks back to classic military vehicle heritage, making these tyres the perfect choice for builders who prioritise authenticity alongside capability.

In an effort to bring more military-looking tyres to the scale scene, RC4WD has engineered these 1.9" DUKW tyres to help any military build look and perform significantly better. These are not simply styled tyres — they represent a genuine investment in your scale rig's credibility and trail-ready performance. Built using RC4WD's Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky compound, these tyres deliver confident grip on mixed terrain whilst maintaining the authentic, period-correct appearance that serious scale modellers demand. Whether you're tackling rocky terrain, sandy tracks, or mixed conditions on your local RC track, these tyres are engineered to maintain traction whilst keeping your build visually authentic.

For UK RC enthusiasts looking to upgrade their 1.9-class scale builds, the DUKW tyres represent a straightforward way to improve both aesthetics and performance in one upgrade. The combination of advanced rubber compound and military-inspired tread design makes these tyres suitable for trail running, scale competitions, and serious bashers who want their rigs to look the part. With foam inserts included in the pack, you have everything needed to mount these tyres straight onto compatible RC4WD 1.9-inch wheels, making installation straightforward for experienced RC modellers and newcomers alike.

Key Features

• Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky Compound — RC4WD's proprietary tyre compound delivers exceptional grip across mixed terrain types whilst maintaining durability through repeated use, ensuring your military build maintains traction whether you're navigating rocky outcrops, sandy patches, or technical trail sections.
• Authentic Military Styling — The DUKW tread pattern and sidewall design draw inspiration from genuine military vehicle heritage, ensuring your scale rig achieves the period-correct appearance that serious builders and competitors demand for authentic military-themed RC builds.
• Optimised 1.9-Inch Scale — Sized specifically for 1.9-inch wheels, these tyres integrate seamlessly with RC4WD's established wheel ecosystem, with suggested compatibility across RC4WD 1.9-inch wheel ranges and proven fitment on Gmade Sawback platforms for maximum versatility.
• Included Foam Inserts — Each pack includes two foam inserts, eliminating the need for separate purchases and ensuring your tyres mount immediately onto compatible wheels with proper damping and load distribution for optimal trail performance.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 2.0 ounces (57 grams) per tyre, these are engineered to minimise unsprung weight, improving suspension responsiveness and overall vehicle dynamics on technical terrain and during competitive runs.
• Professional Trail Performance — The combination of soft compound, military tread design, and optimised dimensions creates a tyre that performs confidently across technical off-road terrain, making these suitable for serious bashers, scale competitors, and collectors who demand both style and substance.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD DUKW 1.9" Military Offroad Tyres represent a carefully engineered solution for scale builders who refuse to compromise between authenticity and performance. The Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky compound is RC4WD's signature rubber formulation, developed through extensive trail testing to deliver maximum grip across varied terrain without sacrificing durability or predictability. The tyre's outer diameter of 3.98 inches (101.2mm) with a width of 1.26 inches (32mm) creates an effective contact patch that distributes load efficiently across mixed surfaces, whilst the 1.77-inch (45mm) inner diameter ensures compatibility with standard 1.9-inch wheel hubs across the RC ecosystem. At 2.0 ounces (57 grams) per tyre, the weight is kept to a minimum to avoid excessive unsprung mass that could compromise suspension performance or vehicle dynamics during technical trail running. The military-inspired tread pattern combines functional design with historical authenticity, ensuring that grip and aesthetics work in harmony rather than opposition — a crucial consideration for serious scale modellers who reject the false choice between looking authentic and performing competitively. Whether you're mounting these on RC4WD 1.9-inch Militants wheels, Gmade Sawback platforms, or other compatible 1.9-inch hubs, the proven fitment and engineering make installation and performance predictable and reliable for experienced RC modellers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for UK trail running and competitive RC racing? — Yes, the Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky compound is engineered for serious trail performance across mixed terrain types, making these tyres suitable for both recreational basher sessions and competitive scale events. The tyre's soft compound provides confident grip on technical terrain whilst the lightweight construction maintains vehicle dynamics during competitive runs.
• What wheels do these DUKW tyres fit? — These 1.9-inch tyres are designed specifically for RC4WD 1.9-inch wheels and have proven compatibility with Gmade Sawback platforms. RC4WD tyres and wheels are engineered to work together seamlessly. Compatibility with other third-party manufacturers may vary due to differing design specifications, so we recommend confirming fitment before purchase if using non-RC4WD wheels. For complete compatibility assurance, RC4WD supplies a detailed tyre and wheel comparison list that can be downloaded to verify fitment with your specific platform.
• Do I need to purchase the foam inserts separately? — No, each pack includes two foam inserts, eliminating the need for separate purchases. This means you have everything required to mount these tyres immediately onto compatible 1.9-inch wheels without additional expenditure or ordering delays.
• How many DUKW tyre sets do I need for a complete vehicle? — For a complete four-wheel setup, you will need two sets of this product, as each set contains two tyres. A single set is sufficient for replacing a front or rear axle set only.
• What makes these tyres different from standard RC4WD 1.9-inch tyres? — The DUKW designation refers to the specific tread pattern and sidewall design, which is inspired by authentic military vehicle heritage rather than contemporary sports vehicles. This makes them ideal for period-correct military-themed builds, historical scale models, and builders who prioritise authenticity. Performance-wise, they use the same Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky compound as other RC4WD trail-focused tyres, so grip and durability remain consistent with the brand's established reputation.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are suitable for beginners to intermediate RC modellers. The tyres are mounted onto existing wheel assemblies, so no complex tyre fitting knowledge is required. However, you will need compatible 1.9-inch wheels and a suitable 1/10 scale RC platform to use them effectively.
• What terrain performs best with DUKW tyres? — These tyres excel on mixed terrain including rocky sections, sandy tracks, technical trail routes, and varied outdoor surfaces. The Advanced X3 compound and military-inspired tread design maintain confidence across multiple surface types, making them versatile for UK trail running conditions.
