Why Are These Tires the Ultimate Choice for Desert Racing Enthusiasts?
When it comes to high-speed desert short course racing, every component counts—especially the tires. After testing multiple tire options on my ARRMA Mojave TRXS, I found that standard off-the-shelf tires often wear out too quickly or fail to deliver consistent traction on loose sand and rocky terrain. That’s when I discovered this 4-piece set of 1/7 1/8 scale desert short course truck tires with a 135mm outer diameter and 17mm wheel hex. The difference? Immediate and undeniable. These tires are engineered specifically for high-performance RC buggies like the ARRMA Mojave TRXS, UDR, and Yikong DF7 FS models. They’re not just replacements—they’re upgrades. Whether you're tackling dunes, dry lake beds, or technical trails, these tires deliver superior grip, durability, and stability. I’ve used them in multiple desert runs over 30 miles, and they’ve held up far better than any other set I’ve tried.
- Outer Diameter (OD)
- The 135mm outer diameter ensures optimal ground clearance and wheel rotation efficiency, especially on uneven terrain. This size is perfectly matched to 1/7 and 1/8 scale short course buggies, providing a balanced ride without compromising speed or handling.
- Wheel Hex Size
- The 17mm wheel hex is compatible with a wide range of RC buggies, including ARRMA Mojave TRXS, UDR, and Yikong DF7 FS models. This standard size ensures a secure fit and reduces the risk of wheel slippage during high-speed maneuvers.
- Desert Short Course Tire Design
- Designed for loose soil, sand, and rocky surfaces, the tread pattern features deep, aggressive lugs that dig into soft terrain while maintaining stability on hard-packed ground. The compound is optimized for heat resistance and abrasion, which is critical during long desert runs.
How Do These Tires Improve Performance Compared to Stock Options?
I used to rely on the stock tires that came with my ARRMA Mojave TRXS. While they were functional, they lacked the grip and longevity needed for serious desert racing. After switching to this 4-piece tire set, I noticed a dramatic improvement in cornering stability and acceleration on sand. To illustrate the difference, here’s a side-by-side comparison of performance metrics:
| Feature |
Stock Tires (ARRMA Mojave TRXS) |
135mm Desert Short Course Tires (This Set) |
| Outer Diameter (OD) |
125mm |

| Wheel Hex Size |

| Tread Pattern |
Shallow, uniform lugs |
Deep, aggressive, multi-directional lugs |
| Material Compound |
Standard rubber (soft) |
High-abrasion, heat-resistant compound |
| Expected Lifespan (Desert Use) |
1–2 runs (15–20 miles) |
5+ runs (50+ miles) |
The results speak for themselves. Not only do these tires last longer, but they also provide better control and responsiveness. On a recent run in the Mojave Desert, I was able to maintain higher speeds through sand traps and sharp turns without losing traction—something that was nearly impossible with the stock tires.
