Key Features

• Officially Licensed Mickey Thompson Design — These tyres carry the genuine Mickey Thompson brand and are exclusively produced by RC4WD under official licence from Mickey Thompson Performance Tires and Wheels, ensuring authenticity and quality that licensed products demand. This exclusive arrangement means you cannot find these exact tyres anywhere else, making them a premium choice for collectors and serious enthusiasts.
• Advanced X2 SS Compound — RC4WD's proprietary Advanced X2 SS rubber compound is engineered to provide excellent grip across a variety of terrain types whilst maintaining durability during extended crawling sessions. This compound formula delivers consistent traction whether you're tackling loose gravel, smooth rock, mud, or sand on your RC trail truck or crawler.
• Scale Profile for Trail Trucks and Rock Crawlers — The realistic scale profile means these tyres look proportionally correct on 1.9" scale RC wheels, enhancing the visual authenticity of your scale crawler or trail truck. This attention to detail in tyre profile is what separates serious scale crawlers from standard RC buggies and makes your rig look truly professional.
• Includes Foam Inserts — Two foam inserts are supplied with this pair of tyres, providing the necessary support structure inside the rubber tyre. Foam inserts are essential for maintaining tyre shape, providing sidewall support during aggressive cornering, and ensuring your crawler performs optimally on uneven terrain without tyre rollover or deformation.
• Mickey Thompson Decal Sheet Included — A full decal sheet featuring the iconic Mickey Thompson branding is included in the box, allowing you to personalise your tyres and add authentic scale detail to your build. These water-slide decals add an extra layer of realism to your scale RC project.
• Supplied as a Pair — You receive two complete tyres in this package, providing enough rubber for either a front and rear setup on a smaller crawler or a full replacement set. This pair format is convenient for builders who are upgrading their current tyres or starting fresh with a new build.
• 1.9" Mounting Diameter — Designed specifically to fit 1.9" RC wheels, these tyres ensure proper fitment with RC4WD's own 1.9" wheel range and integrate well with the RC4WD ecosystem. The 1.9" standard is widely used in rock crawling and trail truck applications throughout the UK RC community.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Mickey Thompson 1.9" Baja Claw TTC Scale Tyres are engineered with meticulous attention to both form and function. The outer diameter of 4.75" (120mm) combined with a width of 1.75" (44.3mm) creates a proportionally authentic tyre profile that looks correct on modern scale crawlers and trail trucks. The 1.9" (48mm) inner diameter ensures compatibility with the standard 1.9" wheel format that dominates the scale RC crawler market. Each tyre weighs just 3.8oz (108g), which is important for maintaining proper vehicle balance and preventing excessive unsprung weight that could affect suspension performance. The Advanced X2 SS compound provides reliable grip characteristics across diverse terrain whilst maintaining the durability needed for extended trail sessions and competitive crawling events. The tyre tread depth is optimised for scale realism whilst maintaining functional traction capabilities. It's important to note that the outer diameter is 17mm larger than the original tyres, which may affect gearing and clearance on some existing builds, so measure your current setup before upgrading. RC4WD tyres and wheels work exceptionally well together through extensive engineering coordination, though fitment with other manufacturers' products cannot be guaranteed due to the varied design methodologies across the RC industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these official Mickey Thompson tyres for scale RC vehicles? — Yes, these are officially licensed by Mickey Thompson Performance Tires and Wheels and produced exclusively by RC4WD. They are the only 1.9" scale tyres bearing the genuine Mickey Thompson branding, making them authentic and collectible. This exclusive license agreement means you cannot purchase Mickey Thompson branded 1.9" scale tyres from any other RC retailer.
• What wheels do these tyres fit? — These tyres are designed for 1.9" mounting diameter wheels and work excellently with RC4WD's own 1.9" wheel range. Due to the varied design methods used across the RC industry, we cannot guarantee fitment with wheels from other manufacturers, so check your wheel specifications before purchasing. The 1.9" standard is the most common size for rock crawlers and trail trucks in the UK.
• What is the Advanced X2 SS compound and why does it matter? — The Advanced X2 SS is RC4WD's proprietary rubber formulation engineered to balance grip and durability. SS likely denotes a slightly stiffer compound suitable for scale applications, which means the tyres maintain their shape and profile during use whilst still providing sufficient traction across rock, mud, and mixed terrain. This compound is specifically engineered for trail trucks and crawlers rather than pure racing applications.
• Will these tyres fit my current RC crawler immediately? — These tyres will fit any RC crawler or trail truck using standard 1.9" wheels, but the outer diameter is 17mm larger than the original tyres these replace. This size increase could affect ground clearance, gearing ratios, and speedometer calibration, so you should verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase. Measure your current tyre diameter and compare it to the 4.75" outer diameter of these Baja Claw tyres.
• Are foam inserts essential? — Yes, the foam inserts included in this package are essential components that provide structural support to the rubber tyre. Without foam inserts, your tyres would collapse during cornering and over obstacles, reducing performance and potentially damaging your wheels. The inserts maintain tyre shape, provide sidewall support, and are critical for proper rock crawling performance.
• Can I use these tyres on road surfaces? — These tyres are specifically designed for trail and rock crawling applications with their scale-appropriate tread pattern. Whilst you could use them on light road surfaces, they are optimised for off-road terrain including rocks, mud, sand, and gravel. For regular road use, standard RC car tyres would be more suitable.
• How do these compare to standard RC crawler tyres? — The key difference is the authentic Mickey Thompson Baja Claw scale profile, which prioritises realistic appearance alongside functional off-road performance. Standard crawler tyres may have more aggressive or generic tread patterns. These tyres are chosen by builders who want their crawlers to look as authentic as possible whilst maintaining genuine trail-crawling capability. The official licensing and exclusive availability also distinguish these as premium collector items.
• What is the tread depth on these tyres? — The tread depth is currently listed as TBC (To Be Confirmed) in official RC4WD specifications, meaning the manufacturer has not yet published exact tread depth measurements. However, the tread pattern is clearly visible and designed to replicate the iconic Baja Claw design whilst providing functional traction for scale crawling applications.
