Overview
The Louise RC MT-ROCKET 1/10 Soft Hex 14mm Black tyre set represents a premium choice for RC enthusiasts running 1/10 scale monster trucks, particularly those with ARRMA Granite platforms. These professionally engineered tyres are specifically designed for serious bashers and weekend warriors who demand exceptional grip, durability and consistent performance across varied terrain. Whether you're tackling loose dirt tracks, tarmac surfaces or mixed ground conditions, the MT-ROCKET compound delivers the grip and steering precision that separates amateur setups from truly competitive RC car UK builds.
Louise RC has established a formidable reputation in the RC hobby market for producing tyres that genuinely perform. The MT-ROCKET series combines advanced manufacturing techniques with proven rubber compounds to create tyres that excel in real-world conditions rather than just on paper specifications. This particular variant features a soft compound, making it ideal for lighter 1/10 scale vehicles where maximum grip and road contact are essential for responsive handling and control during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering.
What sets the Louise RC MT-ROCKET apart from standard replacement tyres is the comprehensive engineering that goes into every aspect of construction. From the materials selection through to the final assembly, every decision is made to enhance performance and longevity. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their Granite or similar 1/10 monster truck with tyres that will genuinely improve handling and provide measurable performance gains, the MT-ROCKET represents exceptional value and proven reliability.
Key Features
- MFT Micro Fibre Technology — The textile belt integrated into the rubber tread prevents tyre deformation and ballooning during high-speed acceleration and intense driving sessions, maintaining perfect shape and diameter consistency even under extreme loads. This technology ensures significantly improved stability, enhanced road contact and extended tyre lifespan compared to standard tyres without this reinforcement.
- Sport Soft Compound Rubber — Louise RC's specialised soft rubber compound has been developed specifically for lighter 1/10 scale RC cars, providing exceptional wear resistance whilst maintaining outstanding grip on multiple surface types. The soft compound ensures your RC car UK setup gets the maximum benefit from increased traction without sacrificing durability during extended bashing sessions.
- Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued — These tyres arrive fully assembled on the wheels with foam inserts already installed and glued in place, eliminating the need for messy adhesive work or time-consuming mounting procedures. You can fit them directly to your Granite 4x4 and begin driving immediately without preparation, making them perfect for immediate replacement or upgrade scenarios.
- Bead-Lock Wheel Design — Rather than relying solely on glue, the bead-lock system clamps and screws the tyre firmly onto the wheel, providing secure fastening that withstands extreme loads during cornering, jumps and high-intensity driving. This design prevents tyre slip and deformation during the most demanding driving conditions, giving you confidence in every manoeuvre.
- High-Quality Nylon Composite Construction — The wheel rims are manufactured from Dupont-specified nylon composites with fibre reinforcement, engineered specifically by Louise RC for maximum strength and flexibility. These premium materials absorb the extreme forces encountered during RC car operation whilst maintaining structural integrity across hundreds of driving sessions.
- Precision Foam Inserts — The tyres feature cut-to-size foam inserts selected for specific density to guarantee perfect dampening and form stability. This careful engineering means the tyre absorbs impacts effectively whilst maintaining its shape, delivering consistent handling characteristics throughout your driving sessions.
- ARRMA Granite Compatibility — Specifically designed to fit the ARRMA Granite 4x4 and similar 1/10 monster truck platforms with 14mm hex wheel adapters, these tyres integrate seamlessly into your existing setup without requiring additional modifications or adaptations.
- Front and Rear Application — These multi-purpose tyres are suitable for both front and rear wheel positions, offering flexibility in your setup and allowing you to purchase complete sets for comprehensive tyre upgrades across your entire RC vehicle.
Technical Performance
The MT-ROCKET tyre set represents the culmination of Louise RC's years of experience in high-performance tyre development for RC vehicles. Each tyre measures 134.1mm in diameter and 70.2mm in width, providing appropriate sizing for 1/10 scale monster trucks that require balance between grip and rotational characteristics. The combined weight of each mounted assembly is distributed carefully to maintain vehicle balance without introducing unwanted gyroscopic effects. The MFT Micro Fibre Technology distinguishes these tyres from standard alternatives by incorporating a textile reinforcement belt directly into the rubber tread structure, preventing the tyre ballooning that typically occurs during powerful accelerations and high-speed driving. This balloning effect—where tyre diameter changes under load on inferior tyres—completely disrupts vehicle handling and predictability, but the MT-ROCKET eliminates this through intelligent engineering. The soft compound rubber provides the grip characteristics that lighter 1/10 scale cars require, offering excellent traction on both loose and hardpack surfaces whilst resisting premature wear. The pre-glued foam inserts are cut to precise dimensions and selected for appropriate density, ensuring every tyre delivers identical dampening characteristics and maintaining consistent handling between front and rear, left and right. Important to note: the MFT technology does result in slightly increased weight and diameter compared to standard tyres, which may necessitate gear ratio adjustments depending on your current setup. We recommend evaluating your gearing if you notice reduced top-end speed after fitting. Additionally, the increased grip these premium tyres provide may place additional strain on standard steering servos, so upgrading to a higher-torque servo is advisable if you experience servo lag during aggressive cornering and steering inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the Louise RC MT-ROCKET tyres fit my ARRMA Granite 4x4 monster truck? — Yes, these tyres are specifically engineered for the ARRMA Granite 4x4 and similar 1/10 monster truck platforms that use 14mm hex wheel adapters. The tyres arrive pre-mounted on wheels with the correct fitment, requiring only installation onto your vehicle's hex adapters.
- What does MFT Micro Fibre Technology actually do for my RC car UK setup? — The textile belt embedded in the tyre tread prevents the tyre from deforming and ballooning during aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving. This maintains consistent tyre diameter and shape, providing significantly improved stability, better road contact and noticeably extended tyre life compared to standard tyres without this technology.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners or experienced bashers? — These are premium performance tyres designed for drivers who want measurable improvements in handling and grip. Whilst beginners can absolutely use them, the advanced features like bead-lock wheels and MFT technology are particularly appreciated by more experienced drivers who drive aggressively and push their RC cars to the limit. The soft compound is ideal for lighter 1/10 scale vehicles.
- Do I need to glue these tyres or are they ready to fit? — The MT-ROCKET tyres arrive completely pre-glued with foam inserts already installed, eliminating any adhesive work. You simply remove the protective packaging and fit them directly to your vehicle's wheel hex adapters—no additional preparation is required.
- What is the difference between bead-lock wheels and standard glued wheels? — Bead-lock wheels clamp and screw the tyre onto the wheel rim in addition to gluing, providing dual-security fastening that resists tyre slip during extreme cornering and high jumps. Standard wheels rely solely on adhesive, which can weaken over time or under intense driving. The bead-lock design ensures your tyres stay precisely positioned on the wheels throughout hundreds of driving sessions.
- Will I need to adjust my RC car setup after fitting these tyres? — The MFT technology means these tyres are slightly heavier and larger in diameter than standard alternatives, which may require gear ratio adjustment if you notice reduced top-end speed. Additionally, the increased grip may overload standard steering servos during aggressive cornering, so consider upgrading to a higher-torque servo for optimal performance and to prevent servo burnout.
- What surfaces perform these tyres best on? — The sport soft compound delivers excellent grip across multiple surface types including loose dirt, hardpack earth, tarmac and mixed terrain. The grip characteristics are optimised for 1/10 scale vehicles and provide outstanding road-handling and steering precision whether you're bashing around a local field or tackling a designated RC track.
- How long will these tyres last with regular use? — Louise RC's sport compound offers particularly exceptional wear resistance compared to standard tyre compounds. Actual tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, surface abrasiveness and maintenance practices, but the soft compound combined with the MFT reinforcement significantly extends usable tyre life versus non-reinforced alternatives.
