If you're serious about conquering extreme off-road terrain with your 1/6 scale RC crawler, these tyres are engineered to deliver the traction, grip and confidence you need when tackling challenging landscapes.

These genuine RC tyres from Pro-Line are made in the USA to exacting standards, ensuring durability and consistent performance session after session. The 2.9 inch diameter fits perfectly on your SCX6 wheels, and the 2.65 inch width provides optimal contact patch for maximum grip. Whether you're bashing in your garden, exploring rocky terrain at local RC clubs, or competing in organised events, the Maxxis Trepador G8 tyres will deliver the aggressive look and exceptional performance you're looking for.
Key Features
- Ultra-aggressive Sidewall Design — The sidewalls are engineered with aggressive tread patterns that provide excellent traction specifically on sand and rocks, two of the most challenging surfaces for RC crawlers. This design element is critical because it prevents wheel slippage when navigating uneven terrain and ensures your SCX6 maintains contact with the ground even on steep inclines.
- Multi-curve Tread Siping — The curved siping (thin grooves) cut into the tread blocks are specifically designed to improve traction on loose dirt and slippery surfaces. These sipes work by biting into soft terrain and creating additional edges for grip, which is especially important when crawling over wet, muddy or sandy ground where conventional tyres would lose contact.
- Unique Tread Element Arrangement — Pro-Line's engineers have crafted a distinctive tread pattern that ensures uniform contact area across the entire tyre surface, maximising your contact patch and therefore maximising grip. A larger contact patch means more rubber touching the ground, which translates directly to better traction and control.
- Legendary G8 Soft Compound — These tyres are moulded in Pro-Line's renowned G8 soft compound, a formula that has proven itself across countless rock crawling missions. The soft compound material grips better than harder alternatives, conforming to uneven surfaces and maintaining traction even when the ground is challenging or unpredictable.
- Officially Licensed Maxxis Design — This is a genuine licensed product bearing the Maxxis name, meaning Pro-Line's engineers have faithfully recreated every detail of the full-size Maxxis Trepador M8060 tyre in 1/6 scale. You're getting authentic styling combined with proven RC performance engineering.
- Perfect SCX6 Fitment — Designed specifically for the Axial SCX6, these 2.9 inch tyres fit perfectly with a width of 2.65 inches, ensuring proper clearance and optimal handling characteristics. No fitment issues, no compatibility concerns—simply install and crawl.
- Complete with Foam Inserts — Each pair includes open cell foam inserts that are essential for proper tyre performance and shock absorption. These inserts work in harmony with the tyre sidewalls to provide controlled flex and consistent feel across different terrain types.
- Made in the USA — Pro-Line manufactures these tyres to the highest standards in America, ensuring consistent quality, durability and performance that you can rely on for your RC crawler.
- Front and Rear Versatility — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear wheel positions on your SCX6, making them an all-around solution for complete tyre replacement or upgrades.
- Professional Grade Performance — Whether you're upgrading your existing SCX6 setup or building a complete rock crawling machine, these Pro-Line Maxxis Trepador tyres provide the professional-grade performance that serious RC enthusiasts across the UK expect.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line 1/6 Maxxis Trepador G8 tyres represent a pinnacle of engineering designed specifically for rock crawling applications. Standing 7.1 inches (180 mm) in overall height with a width of 2.65 inches (67 mm), these 2.9 inch diameter tyres provide excellent ground clearance whilst maintaining the aggressive proportions that characterise the original Maxxis Trepador M8060 full-size tyre. The G8 soft compound is specifically formulated to deliver superior grip on varied terrain—from smooth rocks to loose dirt, sand and slippery surfaces that would challenge harder tyre compounds. Pro-Line's multi-curve tread siping pattern works in concert with the ultra-aggressive sidewall design to create multiple biting edges that grip rather than slide. The unique tread element arrangement ensures that the entire tyre footprint makes contact with the ground simultaneously, eliminating edge-only contact and dead zones that reduce grip. Open cell foam inserts are included with each pair, designed to complement the tyre's performance characteristics by providing appropriate shock absorption and sidewall support. The construction quality reflects Pro-Line's reputation for durability; these are not disposable consumables but rather premium components built to withstand repeated impacts, abrasion and the punishment of serious rock crawling. When paired with appropriate 2.9 inch dual stage foam upgrades (such as the Pro-Line PRO637600), these tyres deliver even more refined performance and feel. The scale-faithful design means you're not just getting function—you're getting authentic Maxxis Trepador styling that looks genuinely impressive on your SCX6, whether displaying at a local RC club or competing in organised crawling events.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my Axial SCX6 rock crawler? — Yes, these Pro-Line Maxxis Trepador G8 tyres are specifically engineered for the Axial SCX6 and will fit perfectly on your standard 2.9 inch SCX6 wheels. They are compatible with all SCX6 variants including the Jeep JLU Wrangler and Trail Honcho models. Installation is straightforward—simply remove your existing tyres and inserts, and slide the new Trepadors onto your wheels with the included foam inserts.
- What terrain do these tyres perform best on? — The Maxxis Trepador G8 tyres excel on rocks, sand, loose dirt and slippery surfaces. The ultra-aggressive sidewall design and multi-curve tread siping specifically address the challenges of rock crawling. However, their exceptional grip characteristics make them versatile across virtually all off-road terrain types. They're particularly impressive when tackling challenging landscapes where standard tyres would lose traction.
- Can I upgrade my existing SCX6 with just these tyres? — Absolutely. If your SCX6 is already set up and running, you can upgrade to these Trepador tyres immediately. They come complete with foam inserts, so you have everything needed for installation. For even better performance, Pro-Line recommends pairing them with 2.9 inch Dual Stage Foams (PRO637600), which provide enhanced feel and performance characteristics on extreme terrain.
- Why are these tyres more expensive than standard crawler tyres? — These are premium, officially licensed Maxxis products manufactured by Pro-Line in the USA to exacting standards. The G8 soft compound is specifically formulated for superior grip, the tread design has been faithfully recreated from the full-size Maxxis Trepador M8060 tyre, and the overall construction quality reflects professional-grade engineering. You're investing in proven performance, authentic styling and durability that will serve your SCX6 through countless crawling sessions.
- How do I maintain these rock crawler tyres? — After each use, rinse off dirt and debris with clean water and allow them to dry completely before storage. The foam inserts should be inspected regularly for compression or damage. Store your tyres in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade the rubber compound over time. Properly maintained Trepador tyres will provide extended service life and consistent performance.
- Are these good quality tyres compared to other rock crawler options? — Pro-Line's Maxxis Trepador tyres represent some of the finest rock crawler tyres available in the UK RC market. The combination of authentic Maxxis design, legendary G8 soft compound, and Pro-Line's engineering expertise makes them an excellent choice for serious enthusiasts. They consistently outperform standard or budget alternatives in terms of grip, durability and scale appearance.
- Can these tyres be used on different wheel sizes? — These tyres are specifically designed for 2.9 inch diameter wheels used on the Axial SCX6. Using them on different sized wheels would compromise fitment, handling and performance. Always ensure you're using the correct tyre and wheel combination for your specific vehicle.
- What's the difference between these G8 tyres and Pro-Line's other rock crawler options? — The key differences are the officially licensed Maxxis design, the soft G8 compound specifically formulated for rock crawling, the ultra-aggressive sidewall pattern, and the multi-curve tread siping. These features combine to deliver superior grip on rocks and sand compared to standard alternatives. The Maxxis Trepador represents Pro-Line's flagship rock crawler tyre offering for serious enthusiasts.
