Rovan Slicks Ultimate Blacktop Racing Tires Set of 4 on Black Wheels Red Bead #855122

Rovan Slicks Ultimate Blacktop Racing Tires Overview

The Rovan Slicks tire and wheel set delivers a complete mounted street package built for maximum grip, smooth tracking, and predictable control on paved surfaces. This genuine set includes four pre-mounted slick tires on reinforced black wheels with red bead rings and a 24mm hex interface for direct installation. As a result, you can upgrade your 1/5 scale platform quickly while improving stability during high-speed runs.

Slick tread design increases the contact patch on asphalt and smooth concrete. In addition, the street-focused compound supports consistent traction under acceleration and braking. Therefore, handling stays planted and responsive during blacktop racing sessions.

Blacktop Grip and High-Speed Control – Rovan Slicks

Rovan Slicks provide a smooth tread surface designed to maximize traction on clean pavement. Consequently, the tires reduce tread squirm and help maintain stable cornering at speed. As a result, the vehicle tracks straighter on long pulls and stays more predictable in fast transitions.

The reinforced carcass supports heavier 1/5 scale vehicles. At the same time, the structure limits sidewall flex. Therefore, steering response remains crisp during hard braking and repeated throttle hits.

Wheel Strength, Bead Retention, and 24mm Hex Interface

The mounted black wheels use reinforced construction built to handle high rotational loads during street driving. In addition, each wheel uses a 24mm hex hub design for standard 1/5 scale drivetrains. As a result, torque transfers efficiently and wheel installation stays secure.

Red bead rings clamp the tire bead firmly to the wheel. Therefore, the assembly helps prevent tire slip during aggressive throttle hits and repeated braking cycles. Pre-mounted construction also supports consistent balance and concentric alignment. Consequently, vibration stays minimal and throttle response feels smoother at speed.

Fitment and Application – Rovan Slicks

This tire and wheel set fits standard Baja-style hubs using 24mm hex drive systems. Therefore, the four-wheel configuration supports balanced handling and stable street performance across compatible 1/5 scale platforms.

All current Rofun 1/5 scale platforms, including LT, Baja-style buggies, trucks, and short course models, use a 24 mm wheel hex. However, a few 4×4 models such as the D5, F5, T5, and RF5 use a shallower axle thread and will only accept wheels with thinner center hubs. To run standard Baja-style wheels on these models, different wheel hubs must be installed.

Direct installation requires no modification when used on compatible Rofun platforms (360, 360A, 360C, 450, 450AG, 5B, 5T, 5SC, LT, WLT, BLT, Q360). As a result, setup remains quick and repeatable.

Materials and Performance Notes – Rovan Slicks

Rovan Slicks use a street compound designed for stable grip and controlled wear on asphalt. In addition, the slick surface improves traction consistency when pavement stays clean and dry. Therefore, the tires deliver smooth roll, predictable turn-in, and confident blacktop acceleration.

Maintenance and Run Prep

Inspect tire surfaces for cuts, confirm bead seating, and verify wheel hardware torque before each run. In addition, clean debris from the tires after driving. Therefore, the set maintains consistent grip and smooth high-speed control over time.
