Key Features
- Revolutionary Tread Design — The Blockade features large, strategically positioned lugs that deliver class-leading tread life whilst maintaining optimal performance throughout extended racing sessions, meaning your investment in these tyres will deliver consistent performance lap after lap without premature wear.
- Perfectly Balanced Tread Spacing — The tread is engineered with precision spacing that maximises forward bite and acceleration, giving your 1/8 buggy the edge in qualifying and reducing lap times when every millisecond counts on the race track.
- Uniquely Blended Side Tread — Unlike other race tyres that can feel edgy and unpredictable, the Blockade's specially formulated side wall tread reduces the harsh, grabby feel common in competing products, resulting in more predictable handling and increased driver confidence through the corners.
- Lab Certified Select Compounds — Pro-Line has developed multiple compound options and certified each through rigorous laboratory testing, ensuring consistent performance and allowing you to select the exact hardness needed for your local track conditions, whether you're racing on high-bite surfaces or low-grip technical tracks.
- Next Generation Closed Cell Foam Inserts — The pair comes complete with advanced foam inserts that provide optimal tyre sidewall support, ensuring controlled expansion, maintaining tyre shape during high-speed cornering, and preventing the unpredictable deflection that can ruin a qualifying round or cost you positions in an A-main.
- Compliant Carcass Construction — The tyre carcass is engineered to produce maximum traction whilst maintaining controlled expansion, meaning you get the grip you need without sacrificing the stability and predictability essential for consistent lap times throughout hour-long main events.
- Ultra Long-Lasting Compound Technology — These tyres represent a substantial leap forward in terms of grip in both dry and slick conditions, staying stable throughout long main events without fading or going soft near the finish line, ensuring you can push flat out from the opening lap right through to the chequered flag.
- Proven Race Heritage — History was made the first time the Blockade touched a race track, winning the 2011 ROAR Fuel Off-Road Nationals by an astounding 2 laps. This isn't marketing hype; it's documented proof that these tyres deliver when it matters most in competitive racing environments across the RC community.
- Temperature-Responsive Compound Selection — The Blockade range includes firm material options for higher temperatures and softer material options for lower temperatures, allowing you to dial in the perfect setup for your specific racing conditions and maximise performance regardless of season or weather.
- Front and Rear Versatility — These tyres are designed to work as either front or rear tyres on your 1/8 buggy, offering flexibility in your tyre strategy and allowing you to optimise your setup by selecting different compounds for front and rear if conditions demand it.
Technical Performance
The Blockade M3 represents engineering excellence in 1/8 scale RC buggy racing. These tyres are built around a compliant carcass that produces traction with controlled expansion, critical factors when you're pushing a 1/8 buggy to its absolute limits on the track. The lab-certified select compounds have been tested extensively to ensure consistent performance across different track conditions. The tread design features large lugs for class-leading tread life, perfectly balanced spacing for maximum forward bite, and uniquely blended side tread that eliminates the edginess found in competing race tyres. The foam inserts included in this pair are next-generation designs that work in harmony with the tyre carcass to maintain sidewall integrity during aggressive cornering and high-speed racing. What sets the Blockade apart is its ability to deliver qualifying speed whilst maintaining enough tread life to handle hour-long A-main events without degradation. The ultra long-lasting compound technology stays stable throughout extended racing sessions and does not fade or go soft near the end of races, a critical advantage when the final laps determine champions. Whether conditions are wet or dry, the Blockade delivers substantial grip and maintains its performance characteristics, making it the versatile choice for competitive 1/8 buggy racing across varying UK track conditions.
