Not every crawler needs an ultra-aggressive competition tire.

Sometimes you just want a tire that looks right on the truck and still performs when the trail gets technical.

That’s exactly why we built the Rock Claw. It delivers the scale look a lot of builders are after while providing predictable traction on rocks, hard-packed dirt, and everyday trail terrain.

If your build is all about realism without giving up capability, the Rock Claw might be worth a look.

What kind of tires are you running on your scale rig?

The Razor Wire has earned its reputation by being one of the most versatile tires in the UpGrade RC lineup. Now it’s available for larger Class 3 builds.

Introducing the UpGrade RC Razor Wire 2.2” Class 3 Rock Crawler Tire.

Built around the same proven tread design, the new 2.2” version features a 5.25” O.D., Super Soft compound, and the balanced traction that has made the Razor Wire a favorite for everything from technical rock to mixed trail terrain.

If you’ve been waiting to run Razor Wires on your 2.2” setup, now’s the time.

One small slip can mean backing up, resetting, or missing the gate entirely.

That’s why we built the UpGrade RC Shield.

Now available in 2.2” (4.75” O.D.), the Shield combines scale realism with the traction and predictability you need to stay committed to your line. Large siped lugs, alternating side blocks, and a Shield-inspired center tread work together to deliver confident grip on rocks, hard packed dirt, and technical terrain.

When the trail gets technical, confidence matters.

🛞 Hold the Line with the Shield.
