This Serpent 214018 is supplied ready-mounted on a white rim for 1/10 scale 4WD off-road buggies, using a medium rubber compound. The fitted wheel and tyre assembly removes separate mounting, making wheel swaps faster during practice or race day without extra tools.
Design and role: the unit is an RC-scale tyre and rim combo built for general off-road use. The medium compound aims to balance grip and wear for mixed surfaces typical of club layouts. Arriving mounted means you should verify wheel trueness and tyre seating before active runs.
Installation notes: confirm the wheel hex size and fit the rim to your hub with the correct wheel nuts, using the torque recommended for your chassis. Make sure the tyre bead sits evenly on the rim and spin the wheel to check for wobble. If the assembly needs balancing, apply small lead tape patches to the inner rim face to cut vibration at speed.
Tuning considerations: compound choice affects traction and steering feel, so treat medium as a starting point when comparing softer or harder tyres. Mounted tyres have minimal handling differences versus glued tyres, but ensure the tyre profile and offset suit your chassis to avoid unwanted roll or scrub. On hardpack, lightly scuffing the tyre face with fine-grit abrasive before the first outing can improve initial bite.
A practical, ready-mounted wheel and tyre assembly for 1/10 4WD off-road buggies, offering a medium-compound option aimed at club practice and recreational race use.
