Overview
Pro-Line is taking the 3.8" tyre game to the next level with the Biggest and Baddest tyre ever conceived: the Badlands MX38! If you're searching for premium 1/8 scale RC monster truck tyres UK that deliver genuine all-terrain performance, these pre-mounted Badlands MX38 tyres represent a significant upgrade for your RC vehicle. Pro-Line Badlands tyres are renowned for their sweet motocross-inspired tread pattern, and the all-new Badlands MX38 kicks that up a notch with a bigger and bolder knobby tread that matches modern MX tyre design. Whether you're a weekend basher looking to improve your truck's grip, or a serious RC enthusiast seeking competition-grade tyres, the Badlands MX38 delivers exceptional performance where it matters most.
The Badlands MX38 is a true all-terrain tyre that will find traction on virtually any surface, but is best suited for loose and loamy dirt, mud or grass conditions. Imagine your RC truck throwing up huge rooster tails across muddy terrain or maintaining grip through loose, challenging surfaces—this is what the Badlands MX38 delivers. These premium tyres come pre-mounted on Pro-Line's next-generation 3.8" wheel design, the Raid 3.8" Removable Hex Wheel, creating a complete, ready-to-use solution for 1/8 scale RC trucks. The combination of legendary Pro-Line M2 race rubber compound and the innovative Raid wheel system makes this a must-have upgrade for anyone running a 17mm hex RC monster truck or similar 1/8 scale vehicle.
What makes this package truly special is the revolutionary removable hex system. Imagine being able to replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to replace your glued tyres—this is now possible with the Raid 3.8" wheels. The unique 8x32 interlocking hex design is secured to the wheel by 8 M3 screws spaced 32mm across, giving you the flexibility and durability that bashers everywhere demand. All the hexes you need are included in the box, and additional hexes are available separately should you need them. The built-in adjustability and ease of use make this a new must-have upgrade for anyone serious about their 1/8 scale RC experience.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Badlands MX38 represents a significant engineering achievement in 1/8 scale RC tyre design. Standing at 176mm in height with a width of 94mm, these 3.8" tyres are sized perfectly for the 1/8 scale class, fitting standard 17mm hex axles used on popular platforms including the E-REVO 2.0, SUMMIT, Tekno MT410, and ARRMA Kraton, as well as other monster trucks with compatible 17mm hexes. The tyres are manufactured from Pro-Line's Legendary M2 race rubber compound, which has been proven in countless racing and bashing applications to deliver the optimal balance between grip and durability. The interlocking 8x32 hex design is a game-changer for bashers who frequently damage wheels—rather than replacing entire pre-glued tyre and wheel assemblies, you can now simply swap out the damaged hex component whilst keeping your tyres intact. The Raid wheels are constructed from DuPont nylon, a material selected for its combination of strength, rigidity and impact resistance. Eight M3 screws spaced 32mm apart secure each hex to the wheel, creating an immensely strong connection that handles the extreme forces generated during aggressive cornering, high-speed runs, and hard impacts. Whether you're running on mud, loose dirt, grass, or rocky terrain, the Badlands MX38's aggressive knobby tread provides exceptional bite and maintains traction even when conditions become challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Badlands MX38 tyres suitable for wet UK weather conditions? — Yes, the Badlands MX38 tyres are specifically designed for loose, loamy, muddy and grassy terrain, making them ideal for UK climate conditions. However, if using in very wet conditions, it is recommended to put small holes in the tyres to release any trapped water, which helps maintain performance and prevent water-related damage.
- Can I replace just the hex if it gets damaged, or do I need to buy new tyres? — One of the greatest advantages of the Badlands MX38 system is the removable hex technology. If you damage a hex, you can replace just that component without losing your pre-glued tyres, saving you money and reducing downtime between bashing sessions. Additional hexes are available separately, making this an economical long-term solution.
- What vehicles are compatible with the 17mm hex Badlands MX38 tyres? — These tyres fit any 1/8 scale RC vehicle with 17mm hexes. Specific compatible vehicles mentioned include the Traxxas E-REVO 2.0, Traxxas SUMMIT, Tekno MT410, ARRMA Kraton, and various other monster trucks, trug?gies and basher platforms that use standard 17mm hex axles.
- How do the Badlands MX38 tyres compare to other Pro-Line 3.8" tyres? — The Badlands MX38 represents the next generation of Pro-Line's Badlands line, featuring a bigger, bolder and more aggressive knobby tread pattern that matches modern motocross tyre design more closely than previous versions. The tyre also comes mounted on the innovative new Raid removable hex wheel system, which is not available on older Badlands tyre packages, making this a more versatile and user-friendly option for RC enthusiasts.
- What is the Pro-Line M2 race rubber compound? — M2 is Pro-Line's legendary race rubber formulation that has been proven in racing and bashing applications worldwide. This compound is engineered to provide an excellent balance between grip, durability and wear resistance, ensuring your Badlands MX38 tyres maintain performance throughout extended use whilst lasting significantly longer than budget alternatives.
- Are these tyres good for loose and muddy terrain? — The Badlands MX38 tyres are specifically engineered and tested for loose, loamy, muddy and grassy conditions, making them excellent for UK off-road bashing where these surface types are common. The aggressive motocross-inspired knobby tread excels in these conditions, providing exceptional traction and bite.
- Can I adjust the offset of the hexes? — Yes, the package includes both 1/2" offset and zero offset hex adapters, giving you complete flexibility to adjust your truck's stance and handling characteristics. Different vehicles and driving styles benefit from different offsets, so having both options included provides genuine customisation capability.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst the Badlands MX38 tyres are suitable for all skill levels, they are particularly well-suited to enthusiasts who already own a compatible 1/8 scale RC vehicle and are looking to upgrade their tyre and wheel package. If you're new to RC and don't yet own a vehicle, you would need to purchase a compatible ready-to-run RC truck first.
