This represents a revolutionary approach to RC wheel design, offering unprecedented flexibility and adjustability that makes these tyres suitable for bashers, racers and anyone serious about their sand and snow performance. If you have ever wanted to make your truck fully capable in the sand or snow, Pro-Line has you covered with this combination of advanced tyre technology and innovative wheel engineering.
Key Features
- Belted Tyre Technology for Zero Tyre Expansion — The revolutionary belted construction prevents your tyres from expanding under hard acceleration, meaning all the power from your motor is transferred directly to the ground rather than stretching the tyre sidewalls. This is critical for sand drag racing where consistency and maximum grip are essential for laying down the fastest times.
- Huge Paddle Split-Tread Design — The beefy, reinforced split-paddle tread pattern is inspired by genuine 1:1 sand drag rail tyres, ensuring that you get authentic performance characteristics in 1/10 scale. These massive paddles bite into sand and snow with aggressive authority, providing the highest possible traction in loose terrain.
- High-Performance Herringbone Weave Belt Pattern — This internal belt structure uses a sophisticated herringbone weave pattern that distributes load evenly across the tyre, maximising grip whilst maintaining structural integrity during intense acceleration and cornering.
- Removable Hex Wheel System — The Raid 2.8" wheels feature Pro-Line's unique 6x30 interlocking hex design, allowing you to change wheel offsets on the fly by simply swapping out the hex adapters. This means you can go from a 12mm narrow offset, 12mm wide offset, or 14mm wheel hexes without needing to replace your glued tyres, saving money and providing versatility for different track conditions and applications.
- Easy Hex Replacement Without Tyre Replacement — Damaged a wheel hex? No problem. Simply replace the hex adapter using the M3 screws without needing to replace your expensive pre-mounted tyres, extending the lifespan of your investment and reducing running costs.
- Upgrade Path to 17mm Hexes — You can even upgrade your wheels to 17mm wheel hexes (PRO633600 or PRO639000 sold separately) to adapt these tyres to 1/8 scale sand drag cars or different vehicle applications, making this a future-proof purchase.
- Detailed 10-Spoke Racing Wheel Design — The Raid wheels feature a detailed 10-spoke design that recreates the latest in high-performance full-size forged racing wheels with genuine aesthetic appeal and practical strength to match the bold look. Moulded-in bead-loc detail adds to the realism and durability.
- USA Manufacturing Excellence — These wheels are proudly made in the USA since 1982, combining decades of engineering expertise with modern manufacturing standards to ensure consistent quality and performance that RC enthusiasts across the UK can depend on.
- Pre-Mounted and Ready to Use — Unlike traditional RC car tyres that require mounting and gluing, these come pre-mounted on the Raid wheels, saving you time and ensuring professional assembly right out of the box.
- Suitable for Sand and Snow Terrain — The aggressive paddle design excels in loose terrain, making these tyres perfect for beach racing, desert bashing, and winter snow driving with your 1/10 scale RC vehicle.
Technical Performance
The Sand Paw HP belted tyres represent a significant leap forward in 1/10 scale sand racing tyre technology. The belted construction is engineered specifically to eliminate the tyre expansion that plagues traditional unbanded paddle tyres under hard acceleration, which is absolutely critical for sand drag racing where every fraction of a second counts. The herringbone weave pattern belt inside the tyre distributes force evenly, allowing you to transfer maximum power to the ground whilst maintaining structural integrity. The split-paddle tread pattern draws inspiration from genuine 1:1 sand drag rail tyres, meaning the grip characteristics and feel are based on proven real-world engineering rather than speculation. Built from a medium-hardness compound, these tyres offer excellent durability whilst maintaining the grip levels needed for competitive sand racing. The tyres measure 2.8 inches in diameter with a 2.7-inch width (69mm) and 5.37-inch height (136mm), making them compatible with 1/10 scale sand drag vehicles and monster trucks. The open-cell insert material provides flexibility and shock absorption in loose terrain. The wheels themselves are manufactured from high-strength, durable DuPont nylon material, providing the rigidity needed for aggressive racing whilst remaining lightweight. The 6x30 interlocking hex design secured by six M3 screws spaced 30mm across provides a rock-solid connection that won't slip or degrade over time. Each pair includes 12mm and 14mm hex adapters in both narrow and wide configurations, plus all necessary M3 x 12mm stainless steel socket head cap screws for assembly and adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these belted tyres really better for sand drag racing? — Yes. The belted construction prevents tyre expansion under acceleration, which is critical for sand drag racing where consistency and maximum grip directly affect your times. Traditional paddle tyres expand under load, meaning some of your motor's power stretches the tyre rather than propelling the vehicle. The herringbone weave belt technology ensures all power is transferred to the ground, giving you a significant competitive advantage on the sand.
- Can I change the wheel offset without buying new tyres? — Absolutely. The removable hex system is one of the greatest features of this product. Simply swap out the hex adapters to change from 12mm narrow, 12mm wide, or 14mm offsets. This flexibility means you can adapt these tyres to different vehicles, track conditions, and applications without the expense of purchasing completely new pre-mounted tyre sets.
- What if I damage a wheel hex? — You can purchase replacement hexes separately (PRO633500) and simply replace the damaged component using the M3 screws. This means you keep your expensive pre-mounted tyres and only replace the hex, saving significant money compared to having to buy a completely new wheel and tyre assembly.
- Will these tyres fit my 1/8 scale sand drag car? — The standard kit comes with 12mm and 14mm hexes for 1/10 scale vehicles. However, you can upgrade to 17mm wheel hexes (PRO633600 or PRO639000 sold separately) to adapt these 2.8" tyres for use on 1/8 scale sand drag cars, making this a versatile investment.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These are primarily designed for sand drag racing enthusiasts and serious bashers rather than complete beginners, as they require a sand drag vehicle or monster truck platform to mount them on. However, if you already own a compatible 1/10 scale vehicle, these tyres are straightforward to install using the included adapters and hardware.
- What terrain are these tyres designed for? — These Sand Paw HP tyres are specifically engineered for sand and snow terrain. The aggressive split-paddle design excels in loose, shifting terrain where grip is essential. They are not recommended for hard-packed dirt, asphalt, or rock crawling applications.
- Are these tyres made in the USA? — Yes. Like all Pro-Line tyres, the Sand Paw HP belted tyres are proudly made in the USA, combining American engineering excellence with rigorous quality control standards.
- What is the difference between these and standard paddle tyres? — The critical difference is the belted construction. Standard paddle tyres expand under acceleration, wasting power. These belted Sand Paw HP tyres eliminate expansion through internal herringbone weave belt technology, ensuring every ounce of power from your motor transfers directly to the ground. Additionally, the split-paddle tread pattern is more aggressive and draws inspiration from genuine 1:1 sand drag tyres.
