Key Features

• Officially Licensed Mickey Thompson Branding — These tyres carry authentic Mickey Thompson, Baja MTZ and Mickey Thompson logos licensed directly from Mickey Thompson Performance Tires and Wheels, ensuring you get genuine branding rather than generic imitations. This official licensing is your guarantee of authenticity and scale accuracy.
• Advanced X2S Compound Technology — RC4WD's proprietary X2S compound delivers optimal grip, durability and handling characteristics for scale crawling and trail running applications. The advanced rubber formulation ensures consistent performance across varied terrain whilst maintaining the visual detail that makes these tyres stand out.
• Perfect Scale Proportions — With an outer diameter of 4.44 inches (113.0mm) and width of 1.83 inches (46.7mm), these tyres maintain perfect scale proportions that complement detailed trail rigs and rock crawlers. The inner diameter of 1.81 inches (46.0mm) is specifically engineered for standard 1.9" wheel compatibility.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 3.47 ounces (98.4g) per tyre, these are engineered for optimal weight distribution on your RC crawler, reducing unsprung mass and improving handling characteristics without compromising durability or structural integrity.
• Complete Package with Included Foam Inserts — Each pair arrives with two premium foam inserts that provide structural support and consistency, ensuring the tyres maintain their shape and performance characteristics throughout extended use on trails, rocks and uneven terrain.
• Authentic Decal Sheet Included — The package includes an authentic Mickey Thompson decal sheet, allowing you to add additional scale detail to your vehicle and customise your build with genuine branding elements that enthusiasts will appreciate.
• Designed Exclusively for 1.9" Wheels — These tyres are engineered specifically for 1.9" wheels, ensuring optimal fitment and performance with RC4WD wheels such as the Centre Line 1.9" Warrior Deep Dish Wheels (Z-W0010) and Classic 10-Hole Chrome 1.9" Beadlock Wheels (Z-W0296). This precise engineering guarantees compatibility and eliminates guesswork from your build.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Mickey Thompson Baja Belted 1.9" Scale Tyres represent the pinnacle of RC scale tyre engineering, combining authentic aesthetic design with genuine performance characteristics. Manufactured using RC4WD's advanced X2S compound, these tyres deliver the durability and grip required for serious scale crawling whilst maintaining the visual authenticity that separates premium builds from standard vehicles. The precise dimensional specifications—outer diameter 4.44 inches, width 1.83 inches, and inner diameter 1.81 inches—ensure perfect fitment on dedicated 1.9" wheel systems, eliminating the compatibility concerns that can plague builds using mismatched components. The light weight of 3.47 ounces per tyre is a crucial design element; this carefully engineered mass allows for optimal suspension performance and improved handling characteristics across varied terrain. The included foam inserts are not merely packing material—they're precision-engineered structural components that maintain tyre integrity under load and ensure consistent performance during extended trail sessions. These tyres work exceptionally well when paired with RC4WD's own wheel systems, and whilst they may work with certain other manufacturer wheels in some cases, RC4WD can only guarantee fitment with their own products. The design emphasises scale authenticity; whilst the name references "Belted" tyres, these are not belted radial tyres but rather purpose-built scale crawling tyres that deliver the visual profile of real Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tyres at RC scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres compatible with my RC crawler or trail truck? — These tyres are engineered for 1.9" wheels exclusively. RC4WD tyres and wheels work seamlessly together, and these tyres have been tested with RC4WD vehicles including the Trail Finder 2 LWB and on the Traxxas TRX-4 '79 Bronco. Whilst they may work with some other manufacturer wheels and vehicles in certain cases, RC4WD cannot guarantee fitment with non-RC4WD products due to the many different design methodologies used across the hobby. Always verify wheel compatibility before purchasing.
• How many sets do I need for a complete RC truck? — Each package contains 2 tyres with foam inserts. For a complete truck setup, you will need 2 sets of this product (4 tyres total) to outfit all four wheel positions. Many UK RC enthusiasts purchase multiple sets to have fresh tyres available for competition and to allow for rotation and maintenance of their primary set.
• What makes these tyres authentically licensed and different from generic alternatives? — These tyres are officially licensed by Mickey Thompson Performance Tires and Wheels, the real manufacturer of the iconic Baja MTZ tyres. This official licensing means the branding, logos and tyre design are authentic reproductions approved directly by Mickey Thompson. This is not available from any other RC manufacturer—these tyres are exclusive to RC4WD and authorised dealers, making them the only genuine option for scale enthusiasts seeking authentic detail.
• Will these tyres fit my RC4WD wheels? — These tyres are specifically engineered for 1.9" wheels and work optimally with RC4WD's wheel range, including the Centre Line 1.9" Warrior Deep Dish Wheels (Z-W0010) and Classic 10-Hole Chrome 1.9" Beadlock Wheels (Z-W0296). RC4WD guarantees fitment between their own tyre and wheel products, so you can purchase with confidence. Fitment with other manufacturers' wheels cannot be guaranteed.
• What is the X2S compound and why does it matter? — The X2S compound is RC4WD's advanced rubber formulation that delivers optimal grip, durability and handling performance for scale crawling applications. This proprietary compound provides the right balance of traction for varied terrain, structural durability to resist punctures and damage, and consistent performance throughout the lifespan of the tyres. This is a higher specification than generic rubber used in basic RC tyres.
• Are these actual belted radial tyres like real Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tyres? — No, these are not belted radial tyres. Whilst the name "Baja Belted" references the real Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tyre design, these are purpose-built RC scale tyres engineered specifically for crawler and trail truck applications. The name captures the visual profile and branding of the real tyre, but the internal construction is optimised for RC performance rather than reproducing the full technical specifications of real vehicle tyres.
• What weight are these tyres and why does weight matter on an RC crawler? — Each tyre weighs 3.47 ounces (98.4g), which is carefully engineered to be as light as possible whilst maintaining structural integrity and durability. Light weight is crucial on RC crawlers because unsprung mass directly affects suspension performance, handling and the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles. By keeping tyre weight low, you improve your crawler's suspension articulation and overall trail performance.
• What are the foam inserts and do I need them? — Foam inserts are precision-engineered structural components included with each tyre. They provide internal support that maintains tyre shape under load, ensures consistent performance, and prevents the tyre from collapsing during challenging terrain. Yes, you should use them—they are not optional components but rather essential for proper tyre function and longevity.
• Can I use these tyres on a ready to run RC vehicle from another brand? — These tyres are designed for 1.9" wheels, so you can only use them on vehicles equipped with 1.9" wheel mounts. Whilst some Traxxas vehicles like the TRX-4 '79 Bronco are shown in RC4WD's promotional materials as compatible examples, fitment with vehicles from other manufacturers cannot be guaranteed. Always verify that your vehicle uses 1.9" wheels before purchasing.
