Overview
Are you ready to tackle any terrain with your RC car UK setup? The Pro-Line 1/8 Badlands F/R 3.8 inch MT Tires Mounted 17mm Black Raid represents the latest evolution in professional-grade RC tyres and wheels, specifically engineered for Monster Truck and Truggy enthusiasts who demand authentic motocross performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher or exploring high-performance off-road RC options in the UK, these pre-mounted Badlands tyres deliver the aggressive tread design and durability that has earned them a Readers' Choice Award. Built on genuine motocross tread technology developed by Pro-Line since 1982, these tyres are manufactured in the USA to the highest standards and represent a significant upgrade for anyone running 17mm hex RC vehicles.
The Badlands tyre design is purpose-built for the motocrosser in you, featuring oversized grass and dirt shredding lugs that offer ultimate performance under all-terrain conditions. What sets this package apart from standard RC tyre options is the revolutionary Raid 3.8 inch Removable Hex Wheel system. Rather than being permanently glued like traditional RC tyres, the Badlands now come pre-mounted on Raid wheels that feature a unique 8x32 interlocking hex design. This innovative approach means you can replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to discard your glued tyres—a game-changer for serious RC bashers who want maximum value and minimum downtime.
Compatible with a wide range of popular RC monster trucks and truggies including Traxxas MAXX, SUMMIT, E-REVO 2.0, Tekno MT410, and ARRMA Kraton, this is an essential upgrade for any 17mm hex RC vehicle owner. The combination of award-winning tyre technology and next-generation wheel engineering makes these pre-mounted tyres an absolute must-have for anyone serious about RC performance in the UK market.
Key Features
- Readers' Choice Award Winning Tread Design — The Badlands tyres have been recognised and awarded by the RC community, meaning you're investing in a proven performer that has earned its reputation through genuine customer satisfaction and on-the-track results.
- Aggressive Motocross-Based Tyre Design — The tyre is engineered using authentic motocross tread technology, which means the lug patterns and rubber compounds are optimised for the same challenging conditions that professional motocross riders face, translating to superior grip and control on grass and dirt surfaces.
- Large Oversized Lugs for Ultimate Durability — The generous lug depth and spacing provide exceptional durability, meaning your tyres will withstand multiple bashing sessions without excessive wear, delivering better value over time compared to thinner-lugged alternatives.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's four-decade heritage means these tyres are manufactured to strict quality standards in American facilities, ensuring consistency and reliability that budget alternatives simply cannot match.
- Removable Hex Wheel System — The innovative 8x32 interlocking hex design allows you to replace damaged wheel hexes without removing or replacing your glued tyres, saving money and time during maintenance and repairs.
- 17mm Wide Offset Hexes — The 17mm wide offset specification ensures proper fitment and handling characteristics on vehicles designed for this standard, which includes the majority of modern high-performance RC monster trucks and truggies.
- High-Strength DuPont Nylon Wheel Construction — The wheel is manufactured from durable DuPont Nylon material, a premium engineering plastic that resists impacts, UV degradation, and the general abuse associated with serious RC bashing, ensuring longevity even in harsh conditions.
- Raid 10-Spoke Wheel Design — The distinctive 10-spoke pattern mimics full-size racing wheels, providing not only authentic aesthetics but also optimised spoke geometry that distributes impact forces effectively and resists catastrophic failure during aggressive driving.
- 8x32 Interlocking Hex Design with M3 Screws — The hexes are secured using 8 M3 screws spaced 32mm across, creating a robust connection that can be easily disassembled and reassembled without tools, making wheel hex replacement a simple task for any RC enthusiast.
- Pre-Mounted and Ready to Bolt On — Unlike traditional tyre and wheel combinations that require mounting, balancing, and gluing, these Badlands tyres arrive factory pre-mounted on Raid wheels, saving you considerable time and allowing you to get bashing immediately.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Badlands 3.8 inch tyres deliver professional-grade performance through a combination of advanced rubber compound technology and aggressive tread geometry optimised for off-road RC applications. The tyre dimensions measure 5.85 inches (149mm) in height and 2.72 inches (69mm) in width, providing substantial contact patch and sidewall stability during high-speed cornering and obstacle navigation. The motocross-inspired tread pattern features large, widely-spaced lugs that excel in soft terrain conditions such as grass and dirt, where conventional road-style RC tyres would simply pack mud and lose grip. The oversized lug design also provides superior self-cleaning properties, meaning the tyres naturally eject accumulated dirt and grass rather than clogging with debris, maintaining consistent performance throughout a bashing session. The rubber compound is formulated to remain grippy across a wide range of temperatures and surface conditions, from cool British autumn days to summer conditions. The Raid wheel construction using DuPont Nylon provides an excellent balance between weight savings and impact resistance; the material absorbs impact energy effectively without permanent deformation, a critical property when you're bashing over rocks, kerbs, and jumps. The 10-spoke geometry distributes stress evenly across the wheel structure, preventing the stress concentration that can occur with designs using fewer or poorly-positioned spokes. The removable hex system utilising 8x32 interlocking geometry with M3 screws creates a connection that is both secure enough for high-speed running and convenient enough for field repairs. The 17mm hex offset is the industry-standard fitment for 1/8 scale monster trucks and truggies, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of vehicles from manufacturers including Traxxas, ARRMA, and Tekno. These tyres are supplied as a pair (2 pieces), and Pro-Line recommends drilling small holes in the tyres if using in wet conditions to release any trapped water, preventing hydro-planing and maintaining control on slippery surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Badlands tyres suitable for UK garden and park bashing? — Absolutely yes. The motocross-inspired tread design with large lugs is specifically optimised for grass and dirt surfaces, making them ideal for the typical UK bashing environment. The aggressive lug pattern excels at digging into soft ground and maintaining grip on muddy terrain, which is common in British weather conditions. The oversized lugs are particularly effective on the uneven ground and obstacles typically found in UK gardens and parks.
- What makes the removable hex system better than traditional glued tyres? — Traditional pre-mounted RC tyres are permanently glued to the wheel, meaning if you damage the wheel hex or rim, you must discard the entire tyre and wheel assembly, which is wasteful and expensive. The Pro-Line Raid removable hex system allows you to purchase replacement hexes separately (part number PRO634500) and swap them out in minutes using just the included M3 screws. This approach saves money over time and reduces downtime during bashing sessions since you can repair rather than replace.
- Are these compatible with my Traxxas MAXX or SUMMIT? — Yes, these Badlands tyres come pre-mounted on wheels with 17mm hex fitment, which is the standard specification for Traxxas MAXX, SUMMIT, and E-REVO 2.0 models. They are also compatible with Tekno MT410 and ARRMA Kraton vehicles. The package includes 8x32 to 17mm 1/2 inch offset hex adapters, ensuring proper fitment and geometry. However, before purchasing, confirm your specific vehicle uses 17mm hexes, as some older RC models may use different hex sizes.
- How do these tyres perform compared to other 3.8 inch options? — The Badlands are specifically engineered using motocross tread technology, which means the lug patterns and rubber compounds are more aggressive than road-style tyres and more specialised than general-purpose all-terrain designs. The Readers' Choice Award recognition indicates that actual RC enthusiasts prefer these tyres for performance and durability. The combination with the innovative Raid removable hex wheel system means you're getting both superior tyre technology and superior wheel engineering in a single package.
- What should I do if I'm using these tyres in wet British weather? — Pro-Line specifically recommends drilling small holes in the tyres if using in wet conditions. This simple modification allows any trapped water to escape rather than being held inside the tyre, which can cause hydroplaning and loss of traction on slippery surfaces. A drill with a 3-5mm bit works well, and you should space the holes evenly around the tyre sidewall. This is a standard technique used by serious RC bashers in the UK.
- Are replacement hexes available if I damage one during bashing? — Yes, replacement 8x32 interlocking hexes are available separately under part number PRO634500. This is one of the key advantages of the removable hex system—rather than replacing the entire glued tyre assembly, you can simply purchase replacement hexes at a fraction of the cost and swap them out in minutes using the included M3 screws.
- How does the Raid wheel design affect handling? — The 10-spoke wheel design is inspired by full-size racing wheels, and this geometry provides several performance benefits. The spoke pattern distributes impact forces evenly across the wheel structure, reducing stress concentration that can lead to cracks or failures. The wheel is manufactured from high-strength DuPont Nylon, which provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, helping maintain responsive handling and acceleration.
