Overview
Pro-Line's Bald Eagle 2.2" slick tyres have landed, and they're revolutionising how serious RC off-road buggy racers approach high-traction track conditions. These ready-made slick tyres are purpose-built for 1/10 scale off-road buggies and represent a game-changing solution for racers in the UK and beyond who compete on indoor and outdoor tracks where traditional treaded tyres are no longer necessary. Many modern off-road racing facilities now feature incredibly high-traction surfaces that completely eliminate the need for conventional tread patterns, meaning racers have been forced to spend countless hours grinding down standard tyres to create slicks. Pro-Line has solved this problem by engineering the Bald Eagle specifically for this purpose, saving you time, effort, and frustration whilst delivering superior performance.
Whether you're a seasoned competitor running in national championships or a weekend racer at your local track, the Bald Eagle MC (Clay compound) rear tyres offer the refined shape and engineering you need to extract maximum grip and consistency from ultra-high-traction racing surfaces. These tyres are manufactured in the USA by Pro-Line Racing, a company with over 40 years of heritage in producing championship-winning RC components, including 12 IFMAR World Championship victories and hundreds of U.S. National and European Championship wins. When you choose Bald Eagle tyres, you're choosing the same technology trusted by professional racers and competitive enthusiasts worldwide.
The Bald Eagle range is available in multiple compound options to suit varying track conditions, and this particular model features the MC (Clay) compound, which is ideal for clay-based tracks or conditions requiring a stickier, more aggressive rubber compound. RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand the absolute best in American-made performance will find these tyres an essential upgrade for serious racing applications.

- Pre-Made Slick Design — Unlike traditional treaded tyres that require extensive grinding to convert into slicks, the Bald Eagle is manufactured as a finished slick tyre ready to use straight from the box, saving you hours of preparation time and ensuring consistent results every time you race.
- Expertly Refined Tyre Shape — Pro-Line's engineers have carefully optimised the sidewall profile and overall geometry of the Bald Eagle to deliver the best possible performance on high-traction surfaces, maximising contact patch consistency and rotational speed through corners.
- MC Clay Compound — This specific variant features Pro-Line's MC (Clay) compound rubber, which offers superior grip and durability on clay-based racing surfaces and conditions where additional stickiness is required compared to softer compounds.

- Sold in Pairs — This package includes two rear tyres with foam inserts, providing you with a complete set ready for installation on your 1/10 buggy's rear wheels, with no additional purchases required for the rear axle.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line has manufactured tyres in America for over four decades, maintaining strict quality control and engineering standards that have made them the choice of world champions and professional racing teams globally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What tracks are the Bald Eagle MC tyres best suited for? — The Bald Eagle is specifically designed for high-traction racing surfaces where treaded tyres are no longer necessary. Many modern indoor off-road racing facilities and outdoor tracks feature clay-based surfaces or prepared racing lines with extremely high grip levels. The MC (Clay) compound variant is particularly suited to clay tracks and conditions requiring additional rubber stickiness compared to softer compounds. If your track has crazy amounts of traction and other racers are running slicks, the Bald Eagle MC is the perfect choice.
- Do I need to grind these tyres like normal treaded tyres? — No, absolutely not. The Bald Eagle is manufactured as a finished slick tyre ready to mount and race straight from the box. This eliminates hours of preparation time and ensures consistent results, which is the entire purpose behind Pro-Line developing these tyres. You simply mount them on your 2.2 inch 1/10 buggy wheels with the included foam inserts and you're ready to race.
- What is the difference between the MC and S3 compounds? — The MC (Clay) compound featured in this model offers a stickier, more aggressive rubber formulation compared to the S3 (Soft) compound variant. The MC compound is ideal for clay-based tracks or conditions requiring maximum grip, whilst the S3 (Soft) compound is designed for softer surfaces or different track conditions. Pro-Line offers both options so you can select the compound that best matches your specific track surface and seasonal requirements.
- What size wheels do these tyres fit? — These are 2.2 inch rear tyres designed specifically for 1/10 scale off-road buggy wheels. They fit standard 2.2 inch wheel sizes used on virtually all competitive 1/10 buggies without any modification required. Check your buggy's wheel size before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Why are foam inserts included? — The closed cell foam inserts maintain tyre structure and sidewall integrity during aggressive racing. They prevent excessive tyre roll-over during high-speed cornering, keep the tyre profile consistent lap after lap, and ensure predictable handling characteristics. The foam supports the tyre sidewalls whilst allowing the tyre to absorb minor track imperfections.
- Are these genuine Pro-Line tyres? — Yes. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, an authorised Pro-Line retailer, you receive genuine American-made Pro-Line products manufactured to the same specifications used by professional racing teams worldwide. Pro-Line's 12 IFMAR World Championship wins and hundreds of national championships prove the quality and performance of their products.
- Can I use these tyres for bashing or casual driving? — Whilst technically possible, the Bald Eagle is engineered specifically for competitive racing on high-traction surfaces. The slick design offers minimal traction on low-grip surfaces like grass, dirt, or asphalt parking lots. For bashing and casual driving, traditional treaded tyres would be far more suitable and provide better grip and control.
- How do Pro-Line Bald Eagle tyres compare to grinding my own slicks? — Pro-Line Bald Eagle tyres save you countless hours of preparation time compared to grinding standard treaded tyres down to slicks. Additionally, the expertly refined tyre shape engineered by Pro-Line's championship-winning team delivers superior performance compared to hastily ground tyres, which often feature inconsistent profiles and uneven wear patterns. Using properly engineered slick tyres ensures consistency and reliability that hand-ground alternatives cannot match.
