Will These Fit Your RC Car?
These tires are made for 1/10 scale on-road drift cars. They fit models from Traxxas, HSP, Tamiya, HPI, and Kyosho that use a 12mm hex drive. Before buying, check that your car's wheel hex is 12mm and that the rim diameter (45mm) clears your suspension and body. The tire diameter of 61mm is typical for drift tires, providing a low-profile look.
Why Hard Plastic for Drifting?
Hard plastic tires have less grip than rubber, which helps your car slide more predictably on pavement, concrete, or smooth floors. They are also lighter than many rubber tires, reducing rotational mass for quicker acceleration and easier spin initiation. The hard compound wears slowly on smooth surfaces, giving you many drift sessions before replacement.
Mounting and Gluing
Each tire comes already mounted on the rim but not glued. This lets you decide whether to glue them for a permanent fit or leave them unglued so you can swap tires later. If you glue, use a tire glue designed for RC cars. For casual drifting, the friction fit may be enough—just press the tire firmly onto the rim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the tires pre-glued to the rims?
No. The tires are mounted on the rims but not glued. You can glue them if needed.
What hex size do these wheels use?
The drive hex is 12mm (0.47in). This is a common size for 1/10 scale on-road cars.
Can these tires be used for off-road driving?
They are designed for on-road drifting. The hard plastic lacks tread and grip for loose surfaces, so off-road use is not recommended.
This GoolRC tire set gives you four matched tires and rims, so your drift car has consistent handling. The titanium color adds a subtle metallic look to your wheels.
