Key Features
- X Compound Rubber Formulation — The X compound tyre material is specifically engineered for rock crawling applications, delivering consistent grip and traction across rocky, uneven, and challenging terrain that would overwhelm standard rubber compounds. This specialised compound ensures your RC crawler maintains contact with difficult surfaces and performs reliably during extended off-road sessions.
- 2.2 Inch Diameter — These tyres feature a 2.2 inch outer diameter, providing significantly increased ground clearance compared to factory stock tyres and improving your vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles and rough terrain. The larger diameter also enhances the visual presence of your RC crawler, giving it a more imposing and capable appearance.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — Designed as universal fitment tyres, the Ripsaw X can be installed on both front and rear wheel positions, offering flexibility in how you set up your crawler and allowing you to purchase single sets for complete vehicle coverage without worrying about position-specific requirements.
- Included Inserts — Each tyre comes complete with foam inserts pre-mounted, eliminating the need for separate purchases and ensuring proper fitment and performance straight from the box. Quality foam inserts are essential for maintaining tyre shape and providing appropriate sidewall support during aggressive driving.
- Broad Model Compatibility — The Ripsaw X 2.2 tyres are designed to fit a wide range of Axial rock crawlers including the RBX10 Ryft, RR10 Bomber, Wraith, Wraith Spawn, Yeti, and several other premium Axial platforms, making these tyres an accessible upgrade for most Axial rock crawler owners in the UK.
- Proven Customer Performance — With a 4.4 out of 5 customer rating, these tyres have been tested and approved by real RC enthusiasts who praise their appearance and performance, with verified purchasers reporting that they significantly enhance their vehicles compared to standard stock tyres.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL 1/10 Ripsaw X Compound 2.2 Tire represents a thoughtful engineering approach to rock crawling tyre design. The X compound rubber formulation is the cornerstone of these tyres' performance characteristics, formulated to provide optimal bite and traction on rocky, loose, and unpredictable surfaces that define the rock crawling discipline. The 2.2 inch outer diameter provides a noticeable increase in ground clearance, which translates to improved approach and departure angles on your crawler and enhanced ability to navigate over obstacles without high-centering. The pre-mounted foam inserts are engineered to absorb impacts, maintain tyre shape during cornering, and support the sidewalls during aggressive compression and articulation—all critical factors in rock crawling where suspension travel can be extreme. These tyres are engineered to perform consistently across a broad range of Axial platforms, demonstrating Axial's quality standards and attention to compatibility across their product range. Whether you're running a brushless or brushed setup, the performance characteristics of these replacement tyres remain consistent, offering reliable grip regardless of your drivetrain configuration.
