GoolRC 4-Pack Hard Plastic Drift Tires for 1/10 Scale RC Cars – Red, 61mm Diameter, 12mm Hex
These GoolRC 1/10 drift car tires are a set of four hard plastic wheels designed specifically for on-road drifting on smooth surfaces. Each tire measures 61 mm in diameter and 26 mm in width, with a wheel rim diameter of 45 mm and a 12 mm drive hex. The tires come mounted on rims but are not glued, allowing you to adjust or replace them as needed. They offer a lightweight, durable option for RC drifting enthusiasts.
Compatible RC Car Brands and Models
These tires are intended as a direct replacement for 1/10 scale on-road drift cars from major brands including Traxxas, HSP, Tamiya, HPI, and Kyosho. The 12 mm hex drive ensures compatibility with many standard RC chassis in this scale. Always verify your vehicle's hex size and wheel offset before purchasing, as fitment can vary between models. These tires are optimized for on-road drifting on pavement and are not suitable for off-road or carpet racing.

These measurements are critical for proper fitment on your RC chassis. The 61 mm diameter maintains a realistic scale appearance while providing enough ground clearance for drifting. The lightweight plastic construction helps reduce rotational mass, which can improve acceleration and handling during drifts.
Understanding the Tire-to-Rim Setup
Unlike many RC tires that arrive pre-glued, these tires are mounted on the rims without adhesive. This means you can adjust the tire orientation or swap tires onto different rims if you prefer a different color or style. If you want a permanent bond, you can glue the tires to the rims yourself using standard RC tire glue. The plastic rims are durable and designed to withstand the forces of on-road drifting.
