Overview
The Louise RC ST-MCROSS Mini Maxx/XRT Removable Hex tyre set is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts looking to upgrade their small-scale stadium truck or street truck experience. Designed specifically for Traxxas Mini Maxx and Mini XRT platforms, these competition-grade tyres deliver exceptional grip, durability and performance on both carpet and tarmac surfaces. Whether you're a serious RC racer competing in UK championships or a weekend basher enjoying your RC car at your local track, this tyre set offers the versatility and reliability you need to stay ahead of the competition.
Louise RC has established itself as one of the most trusted tyre manufacturers in the RC industry, and the ST-MCROSS range is their answer to drivers who demand premium performance from their compact 1/10 and 1/14 scale vehicles. These tyres come pre-mounted and glued onto high-quality black nylon composite rims, saving you the hassle of assembly whilst guaranteeing perfect balance and consistency out of the box. The removable hex design means you can easily swap wheel offsets between races, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for different track conditions without needing an entirely new set of wheels.
For those seeking reliable, tournament-proven RC tyres in the UK, the ST-MCROSS represents outstanding value and proven performance. The soft compound rubber provides superior traction during acceleration and cornering, whilst the foam cut inserts maintain shape and stability even under hard driving. With 52mm width and 105.3mm diameter, these tyres fit perfectly within the Mini Maxx and Mini XRT chassis geometry, maximising contact patch and minimising unwanted flex.
Key Features
- Soft Compound Rubber — The medium-soft compound is specifically formulated for enhanced grip on both carpeted indoor tracks and outdoor tarmac surfaces, allowing drivers to push harder into corners and achieve faster lap times without sacrificing tyre longevity.
- Foam Cut Inserts — Premium foam inserts maintain structural integrity throughout extended running sessions, preventing sidewall deformation that could compromise handling and consistency across multiple heats or race meetings.
- Pre-Mounted and Glued — These tyres arrive ready to bolt straight onto your Mini Maxx or Mini XRT, eliminating the need for glue, tools or waiting time so you can hit the track immediately after purchase.
- Removable Hex Wheel System — Featuring both 0-inch and 1/2-inch offset options with standard 12mm hexagon adapters, you can easily adjust your track and stance to suit different racing disciplines and track layouts without replacing the entire wheel assembly.
- Black Nylon Composite Rims — Durable, lightweight rims manufactured from quality nylon composite material provide excellent strength-to-weight ratio and are designed to handle the rigours of competitive racing without cracking or deforming.
- Universal Mini Scale Compatibility — Purpose-built to fit Traxxas Mini Maxx and Mini XRT models in all available colours and configurations, making these an essential upgrade for any serious Mini-scale RC enthusiast in the UK.
- Competition-Grade Performance — Developed and tested by professional RC drivers, the ST-MCROSS tyre set represents Louise RC's commitment to delivering race-winning performance at an accessible price point.
Technical Performance
The Louise RC ST-MCROSS Mini Maxx/XRT tyre set delivers impressive performance characteristics across a range of driving conditions. Each tyre measures precisely 52mm in width by 105.3mm in diameter, engineered to maximise the contact patch whilst remaining compatible with standard 1/10 and 1/14 scale chassis geometry. The soft compound rubber formulation sits in the medium-soft range of Louise's extensive compound library, striking an ideal balance between outright grip and tyre lifespan for both casual bashers and competitive racers. The foam cut inserts are particularly noteworthy for their ability to maintain shape consistency through extended running sessions, preventing the sidewall degradation that plagues lesser tyres. When mounted on the supplied black nylon composite rims with standard 12mm removable hexagon adapters, the entire assembly weighs appropriately for Mini-scale vehicles without adding unnecessary unsprung weight that would compromise suspension response. The rims themselves are constructed from durable nylon composite material specifically chosen for its resilience during high-speed cornering and aggressive driving, whilst the removable hex adapter system allows drivers to quickly switch between 0-inch and 1/2-inch offsets to optimise handling characteristics for different track configurations. Whether you're running these tyres on an indoor carpet track, outdoor tarmac circuit, or mixed-surface club venue across the UK, the ST-MCROSS delivers consistent, predictable performance lap after lap.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners getting started with RC vehicles? — Absolutely. Whilst the ST-MCROSS is a competition-grade tyre, it offers excellent value for money and performs brilliantly for drivers at all skill levels. The pre-mounted, pre-glued design means beginners don't need to worry about tyre preparation, and the soft compound actually makes the vehicle more forgiving and easier to control than harder compounds. These tyres are perfect if you're upgrading from stock Mini Maxx or Mini XRT tyres and want immediate performance improvement.
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with the Louise RC ST-MCROSS L-T3390SM? — These tyres are specifically engineered for Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S (available in black, orange, green and blue) and Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S (available in red, blue, green and orange). The 12mm removable hexagon adapter system matches both platforms perfectly, and the overall tyre diameter and width are optimised for Mini-scale chassis proportions.
- What's the difference between the 0-inch and 1/2-inch offset options? — The offset refers to how far the tyre-and-rim assembly sits outboard from the vehicle's chassis. A 0-inch offset keeps the wheel directly above the suspension mount point, whilst a 1/2-inch offset moves it outward. Different offsets affect vehicle handling characteristics and track width, allowing drivers to fine-tune setup for different track conditions. The removable hex system lets you experiment with both without buying a second complete wheel set.
- Do I need to apply glue when fitting these tyres? — No, these tyres arrive pre-glued and mounted on the rims, ready for immediate use. However, if you ever need to remove and remount them, you'll need to source appropriate RC tyre glue and follow proper mounting procedures to ensure they stay secure during racing.
- How do the ST-MCROSS tyres perform on different track surfaces? — The soft compound formula and foam cut inserts make these tyres genuinely versatile. They deliver excellent grip on carpeted indoor tracks found at UK hobby shops and dedicated RC clubs, whilst the semi-aggressive tread pattern also works well on outdoor tarmac and prepared clay surfaces. The consistent performance across different conditions makes them ideal if you race at multiple venues.
- Are these tyres durable enough for rough handling and bashing? — Definitely. Whilst the ST-MCROSS is designed for competitive racing, the quality of materials and construction means they're more than tough enough for regular use by bashers and casual drivers. The foam inserts prevent the sidewall collapse that can occur with cheaper tyres, and the nylon composite rims won't crack from impacts that would destroy plastic wheels.
