Overview
The Pro-Line 1/10 Hyrax LP G8 Front/Rear 2.2 inch Rock Crawling Tires represent the cutting edge of 2.2" rock crawling tyre performance, and they're now available at RC Model Shop for UK RC enthusiasts. This pair of premium rock crawler tyres is specifically engineered for serious competition and demanding terrain, making them an essential upgrade for anyone running Class 3 crawlers or looking to take their RC crawler to the next level. Whether you're navigating rocky obstacles, competing in organized crawling events, or tackling the toughest UK terrain, these Pro-Line tyres deliver the grip and scale authenticity that sets them apart from standard RC car tyres.
At 5.25 inches tall, the Hyrax LP occupies a unique sweet spot in the Pro-Line tyre lineup. It's shorter in stature than the traditional 2.2" Hyrax, but noticeably larger than the 1.9" Hyrax XL tyre. This makes the Hyrax LP ideal for Class 3 competition crawling, where you need the greater ground clearance that comes with a 2.2" tyre profile, whilst still maintaining exceptional sidewall stability during aggressive side-hilling manoeuvres. The thoughtfully engineered lower profile design means you get maximum performance on your Class 3 crawler without compromising on handling characteristics or tyre flex.
These tyres are crafted with Pro-Line's legendary G8 material compound, a proven formula that has earned trust among RC crawling professionals and enthusiasts worldwide. The Hyrax LP brings decades of Pro-Line engineering expertise to your crawler, whether you're running an Axial Capra, Class 3 SCX10, or Bomber platform. Made in the USA to exacting standards, these are tyres you can depend on when it matters most.
Key Features
- Lower Profile 2.2" Carcass Design — The reduced height of the Hyrax LP, at 5.25 inches tall, is specifically engineered for maximum performance on Class 3 crawlers, offering a perfect balance between ground clearance and sidewall stability that traditional 2.2" tyres cannot achieve.
- Highly Detailed Sidewall Design — The connected tread pattern extends across the sidewall of the tyre with intricate detail, providing unmatched side-hilling performance whilst maintaining the scale appearance that serious RC crawlers demand from their setups.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Hyrax LP G8 tyres represent years of engineering refinement dedicated to rock crawling performance. Built from Pro-Line's legendary G8 material compound, these tyres offer a proven balance of durability, grip, and consistency that professional crawlers and enthusiasts have come to expect from the Pro-Line brand. The lower profile 2.2" carcass design is engineered specifically for Class 3 competition crawling, where the ability to climb vertical obstacles whilst maintaining sidewall stability is paramount. At 5.25 inches in total height, the Hyrax LP provides greater ground clearance than smaller 1.9" options like the Hyrax XL, whilst delivering superior sidewall control compared to traditional full-height 2.2" Hyrax tyres. The stepped tread block technology creates multiple forward-ripping edges that bite into slick rock surfaces with remarkable aggression, whilst the multiple sipes integrated into each tread block allow for exceptional flex and conformity to irregular terrain. The highly detailed sidewall tread pattern extends the connected tread design around the entire tyre, delivering unmatched side-hilling performance when your crawler is angled hard against rocky slopes. These tyres are compatible with 2.2" rock crawling wheels designed for Class 3 crawlers, including platforms such as the Axial Capra, Class 3 SCX10, and Bomber. The matched pair ensures balanced performance characteristics across your entire crawler setup, critical for maintaining predictable handling during competition runs or challenging terrain negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Hyrax LP tyres suitable for Class 3 competition crawling? — Yes, the Hyrax LP tyres are specifically designed and engineered for Class 3 competition crawling. The lower profile 2.2" carcass provides the ground clearance needed for this class whilst maintaining the sidewall stability essential for competitive climbing and obstacle negotiation. Pro-Line engineered these tyres to meet the exact performance requirements of Class 3 crawlers.
- What is the difference between the Hyrax LP and the standard Hyrax 2.2" tyre? — The Hyrax LP is 5.25 inches tall, making it shorter in stature than the traditional full-height 2.2" Hyrax tyre. This lower profile design was developed specifically for Class 3 crawlers where you need superior sidewall stability without sacrificing ground clearance. The standard Hyrax is taller, whilst the Hyrax XL 1.9" option is smaller overall. The Hyrax LP sits in the perfect middle ground for Class 3 competition.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — The Hyrax LP G8 tyres fit 2.2" rock crawling front or rear wheels and are specifically recommended for use on Axial Capra, Class 3 SCX10, and Bomber platforms. These are premium crawling tyres designed for dedicated rock crawlers rather than general-purpose RC vehicles.
- Will these tyres work on my existing 2.2" wheels? — The Hyrax LP tyres are designed to fit standard 2.2" rock crawling wheels used on Class 3 crawlers. If you already run 2.2" rock crawling wheels on your compatible crawler platform (such as the Axial Capra or Class 3 SCX10), these tyres should fit directly. However, you should verify wheel compatibility with your specific platform before purchasing.
- What makes the Hyrax LP grip so well on slick rock? — The exceptional grip comes from multiple design innovations working together. The stepped tread blocks create numerous forward-ripping edges that dig aggressively into smooth rock surfaces, whilst the multiple sipes integrated into each tread block allow the rubber to flex and conform to irregular rock texture. The highly detailed connected sidewall tread further enhances rock contact. All of this is achieved with Pro-Line's proven G8 material compound, which offers the durability and grip consistency needed for serious crawling.
- Are these tyres sold individually or as a pair? — The Hyrax LP G8 tyres are sold as a confirmed pair, providing two matched tyres with identical characteristics. This ensures balanced performance across your crawler setup, which is essential for predictable handling during climbs and obstacle negotiation.
- What terrain are these tyres best suited for? — These are premium rock crawling tyres specifically engineered for tough rocky terrain including natural rock gardens, competition courses, and challenging obstacles. The aggressive tread pattern and stepped block design make them ideal for slick rock surfaces where maximum grip is essential. They're also highly detailed for scale authenticity, making them the choice of serious RC crawlers in the UK who demand both performance and appearance.
