PRO 1/16 Sling Shot Fr/Rr 2.2 inch Sand Tires Mounted 12mm Blk Despe G-PRO10101-10

Overview

The PRO 1/16 Sling Shot Fr/Rr 2.2 inch Sand Tyres Mounted on 12mm Black Desperado Wheels represents the newest form of fun for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to take their mini E-REVO, 1/16 Summit or Savage XS Flux trucks to the beach, snow, or muddy terrain. Whether you are new to RC car UK hobby or a seasoned basher, this pre-mounted tyre and wheel package eliminates the hassle of sourcing and fitting components separately, giving you everything you need to transform your truck's off-road performance immediately. The Sling Shot 2.2 inch paddle tyres are specifically engineered for loose terrain, providing exceptional grip and control in conditions where standard tyres simply cannot compete.

Pro-Line has made using high-performance, long-lasting fun tyres easier than ever by offering the Sling Shot tyres already mounted to Desperado wheels, saving you time and ensuring perfect fitment from day one. This ready-to-run solution combines cutting-edge tyre technology with an aggressive wheel design that will make your truck the toughest looking one on the block. The combination of performance and aesthetics makes this product ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their 1/16 scale RC truck without the complexity of separate purchases and assembly. Available at RC Model Shop, these tyres deliver hours of fun whether you are heading to your local sand pit, tackling snowy terrain, or exploring muddy trails.

Key Features

• 12-Paddle Tread Design — The distinctive 12-paddle pattern ensures maximum performance with a true scoop design that actively digs into sand, snow, and soft terrain, moving material efficiently and maintaining traction where other tyres lose grip, whilst the awesome looks make your RC truck stand out on the track or trail.
• Low Roll Outer Sidewalls — The specially engineered sidewall construction reduces rolling resistance and maintains tyre shape under lateral forces, improving handling precision during aggressive cornering and allowing better performance across varied terrain without tyre squirm or unpredictable behaviour.
• Sand and Snow Ready — These tyres excel in loose terrain conditions including soft sand and snow where traditional RC car tyres struggle, giving you the confidence to explore new environments and driving locations that were previously unsuitable for your truck.
• Included Foam Inserts — The complete package includes precision foam inserts that provide the correct tyre support and maintain structural integrity during high-energy driving, eliminating the need for separate purchases and ensuring optimal performance out of the box.
• 6-Spoke Desperado Wheel Design — The one-piece nylon construction features a moulded-in bead-loc ring that creates an authentic scale appearance while providing structural rigidity and durability for extended use in challenging terrain without cracking or warping.
• Wide Offset Wheel — The wider offset geometry, inspired by Pro-Line's immensely popular Bead-Loc Wheels, significantly improves stability and handling by widening the truck's stance, allowing it to absorb bumps and jumps like a champion whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The universal 12mm hex connector ensures compatibility with most 1/16 scale vehicles including the Traxxas E-Revo VXL, Summit and Savage XS Flux platforms, making this a versatile upgrade option for multiple trucks in your collection.
• Lightweight One-Piece Wheel — The single-piece nylon construction minimises unsprung mass, improving suspension response and overall truck agility, whilst the durable material withstands impacts and abrasion common in rough terrain driving.
• Unmounted Options Available — If you prefer flexibility, Pro-Line offers both the tyres and wheels separately, allowing customisation of your specific setup if you already own compatible components.

Technical Performance

The Sling Shot 2.2 inch sand tyre represents a significant engineering achievement in loose-terrain RC tyre technology. The 12-paddle scoop design works actively to push material backwards, creating forward momentum in sand and snow environments where smooth or conventional tread patterns would simply sink. The low roll outer sidewalls maintain tyre profile under acceleration and cornering loads, preventing the excessive deformation that causes handling inconsistency. When mounted on the Desperado wheels, the wide offset positioning extends the effective track width of your 1/16 scale truck, substantially improving lateral stability during high-speed runs and reducing the tendency to tip during aggressive manoeuvres. The one-piece nylon wheel construction offers excellent durability against impacts whilst remaining lightweight enough to preserve the truck's acceleration and braking response. The moulded bead-loc ring detail adds authentic scale appearance without compromising functional integrity. This pre-mounted solution eliminates any potential fitment issues, ensuring that the tyre-to-wheel relationship is perfect and that foam inserts are correctly positioned for optimal performance. The combination of engineering refinement and ready-to-use convenience makes this an exceptional choice for anyone upgrading their 1/16 E-REVO, Summit or Savage XS Flux truck for sand and snow driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for sand driving on my 1/16 RC truck? — Yes, the Sling Shot 2.2 inch paddle tyres are specifically engineered for sand driving. The 12-paddle scoop design actively digs into loose sand, providing traction and forward momentum in conditions where standard RC car tyres would fail. These tyres have been proven to transform beach driving capabilities and are equally effective in snow terrain.
• Will these tyres and wheels fit my Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1/16 truck? — Yes, these tyres come mounted on 12mm hex wheels which are compatible with the Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1/16 4x4 models, as well as the Traxxas Summit 1/16 and Savage XS Flux. Simply unscrew your existing wheels and install these pre-mounted units.
• What makes the Desperado wheel better than standard wheels? — The Desperado wheel features a wider offset that improves stability and handling by widening your truck's stance, allowing better absorption of bumps and jumps. The one-piece nylon construction is extremely durable, and the moulded bead-loc ring creates an authentic scale appearance whilst maintaining structural integrity during demanding off-road use.
• Do I need to install foam inserts myself? — No, the foam inserts come pre-installed and pre-positioned on these tyres, meaning you can install them directly onto your truck without any additional assembly or preparation. This ready-to-run approach saves time and ensures optimal tyre performance immediately.
• Are these good for beginners? — These tyres are excellent for RC enthusiasts at all levels, particularly those interested in sand or snow terrain. The pre-mounted solution removes assembly complexity, allowing beginners to upgrade their truck without worrying about tyre fitment or foam insert positioning. The enhanced traction also makes driving in sand more forgiving for inexperienced pilots.
• Can I use these tyres on other terrain besides sand and snow? — Whilst these tyres are optimised for sand and snow driving, they can handle occasional mud terrain as mentioned in product descriptions. However, for primarily on-road or hard-pack terrain use, standard tyres would be more appropriate choices.
• Are the wheels available separately? — Yes, Pro-Line offers the Desperado wheels unmounted if you prefer to source tyres separately or need replacement wheels for existing tyres. Similarly, the Sling Shot tyres are available unmounted if you want to use them on different wheels.
