Z-T0050

Overview

The RC4WD Mud Slingers 1.9" Tyres (Z-T0050) are among the most realistic RC tyres available on the market today, delivering an authentic scale appearance combined with dependable all-terrain performance for trail and scale builds. These premium 1.9-inch tyres are supplied as a pair complete with foam inserts, making them an ideal choice for 1/10 scale crawlers, trucks and truggy enthusiasts across the UK who demand both visual authenticity and practical performance. Whether you're building a competitive rock crawler or a weekend basher, these tyres represent a significant upgrade in realism and capability.

Designed specifically for serious RC hobbyists, the Mud Slingers deliver classic scale styling that looks exceptional on any 1/10 crawler build. The tyres feature a smaller bead area which fits best on most glue-on wheels and performs exceptionally well with recommended compatible wheels such as the BL19, X-0241 and X-0242. If you're new to the world of ready-to-run RC cars in the UK or you're an experienced competitor, these tyres will enhance both the aesthetic appeal and off-road capability of your scale machine. The combination of authentic tread pattern, proven compound technology and included foam inserts makes this a complete tyre solution that requires no additional purchases.

One of the standout aspects of the Mud Slingers is their versatility across different wheel brands and configurations. RC4WD has engineered these tyres to work seamlessly with their own wheel lineup whilst also maintaining compatibility with popular aftermarket options. The 1.9-inch mounting diameter ensures reliable fitment on appropriately sized wheels, and the advanced compound formula provides consistent grip across a variety of surfaces from rocky terrain to muddy trails. For those serious about scale realism, these tyres represent one of the best available solutions in the 1/10 RC market.

Key Features

• Authentic Scale Appearance — The Mud Slingers feature a realistic tread pattern and proportions that closely replicate genuine 4x4 vehicle tyres, delivering exceptional visual authenticity on your scale build that makes a real difference to the overall presentation of your RC truck or crawler.
• Advanced X3 Soft Compound — These tyres utilise an advanced soft compound formula engineered specifically for enhanced grip and traction across diverse terrain types, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains excellent control whether you're crawling over rocks, traversing mud or navigating gravel trails.
• Included Foam Inserts — Each pair includes two foam inserts which are essential for proper tyre operation, providing support and cushioning that helps maintain tyre shape during aggressive driving and improves overall handling characteristics on uneven surfaces.
• Optimal 1.9-Inch Mounting Diameter — The precise 1.9-inch inner diameter ensures reliable and secure fitment on compatible wheels from RC4WD and other quality manufacturers, preventing slipping and ensuring maximum traction transfer during crawling sessions.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 54 grams per tyre, the Mud Slingers keep overall vehicle weight to a minimum, which improves acceleration, reduces strain on drivetrain components and enhances overall performance characteristics across all terrain types.
• Smaller Bead Area Design — The refined bead area geometry makes these tyres particularly compatible with glue-on wheel designs, delivering secure fitment without requiring wheel beadlocks whilst maintaining the ability to work effectively with recommended RC4WD wheel options.
• Wide Compatibility Range — These tyres are engineered to work excellently with RC4WD wheels whilst also maintaining compatibility with popular wheels including the BL19, X-0241 and X-0242, giving you flexibility in your wheel selection and build options.
• Supplied as a Pair — Each package includes two complete tyres with foam inserts, providing a genuine set of tyres that covers half of a complete vehicle setup, though you'll need two sets to equip a full four-wheel truck or crawler.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Mud Slingers 1.9" represent a carefully engineered solution specifically designed for serious scale RC enthusiasts. The tyres measure 3.66 inches in outer diameter with a width of 1.42 inches, creating proportions that deliver both authentic visual appearance and practical performance characteristics suitable for 1/10 scale vehicles. The advanced X3 soft compound provides excellent grip across varied terrain whilst maintaining durability through extended use, and the included foam inserts are engineered to work seamlessly with the tyre's design to provide proper support and handling balance. The lightweight 54-gram construction per tyre ensures minimal impact on vehicle weight distribution, which is critical for rock crawling performance where reduced unsprung weight improves articulation and suspension response. These tyres have been specifically engineered with a smaller bead area that performs optimally with glue-on wheel designs, though they also maintain excellent compatibility with the recommended RC4WD wheel options and other quality manufacturers' products. The tread depth and pattern have been refined through RC4WD's experience as a premium scale RC manufacturer, delivering realistic appearance whilst providing practical traction characteristics. For those building serious crawler or truck setups in the UK RC market, these tyres represent engineering-focused solutions rather than compromise products, offering the balance between scale realism and functional performance that discerning RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are RC4WD Mud Slingers 1.9" tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, these tyres are an excellent choice for beginners embarking on their first RC crawler or scale truck build in the UK. The included foam inserts make installation straightforward, and the reliable grip characteristics provide confidence-inspiring performance whilst learning crawling techniques. They're particularly recommended if you're purchasing your first set of scale tyres and want to invest in quality that will perform reliably.
• What wheels should I use with these 1.9" Mud Slingers tyres? — RC4WD specifically recommends using these tyres with wheels such as the BL19, X-0241 and X-0242. These tyres have been engineered to work excellently with RC4WD wheels and also perform well with most quality glue-on wheel designs from reputable manufacturers. The 1.9-inch mounting diameter is the key specification to match when selecting compatible wheels. It's worth noting that RC4WD cannot guarantee fitment with all third-party wheels due to varying manufacturing specifications, but the tyres perform optimally on glue-on wheel designs.
• How many sets do I need for a complete truck? — You will need two sets of these Mud Slingers tyres to equip a complete four-wheel truck or crawler build, as each set includes only two tyres. When ordering, remember that each package contains a pair, so plan your purchase accordingly if you're building a full-size crawler setup.
• Are these tyres compatible with 2.2-inch wheel sizes? — No, the Mud Slingers 1.9" are specifically designed for 1.9-inch wheels only. If you require 2.2-inch tyres instead, RC4WD manufactures a separate product (Part # MudSlingers3) that is specifically engineered for that size, featuring different proportions and compound characteristics optimised for 2.2-inch wheel applications.
• Do these tyres come with wheels included? — No, these tyres are sold separately from wheels. You will need to source compatible 1.9-inch wheels separately, such as the recommended BL19, X-0241 or X-0242 models. The package includes only the two tyres and two foam inserts, so factor wheel costs into your complete build budget.
• What makes these tyres more realistic than standard RC tyres? — The Mud Slingers feature authentic tread patterns and proportions that closely replicate genuine 4x4 vehicle tyres, delivering exceptional visual realism that standard RC tyres simply cannot match. The tread design, sidewall appearance and overall geometry create a genuine scale appearance that transforms the visual impact of your crawler or truck build. This attention to realistic detail is what makes them one of the most popular scale tyre options in the RC community.
• Can I use these on a Gmade Sawback or other specific vehicles? — Yes, these tyres are confirmed to fit Gmade Sawback vehicles, making them a compatible option if you own that particular platform. For other specific vehicle models, check the wheel compatibility list (BL19, X-0241, X-0242) to determine fitment, as these are the tyres which the Mud Slingers have been engineered to work with optimally.
• What foam inserts are included? — The package includes standard foam inserts designed to work with the Mud Slingers 1.9" tyre profile. These foams provide essential support and cushioning for proper tyre operation. RC4WD previously offered a star-cut foam option with specialised deformation characteristics that provided a softer feel for rock crawling, though this customisation service is no longer available directly from RC Model Shop. However, various online tutorials demonstrate how to create star-cut foam modifications if you wish to customise the foam yourself.
