Overview
The LOUISE RC MT-UPHILL 1/10 Soft Bead-Lock tyres are premium aftermarket wheel and tyre solutions designed specifically for 1/10 scale monster trucks and off-road RC vehicles.

Built by LOUISE RC, a recognised manufacturer of high-quality RC tyres and wheels, the MT-UPHILL range offers serious enthusiasts the opportunity to upgrade their RC car's handling and traction without compromising on build quality or value.
If you're looking for reliable replacement tyres for your 1/10 monster truck or off-road RC car in the UK, the MT-UPHILL soft compound tyres are an excellent choice. The soft rubber compound ensures maximum grip on loose surfaces, making them ideal for racing, bashing, or competitive events. RC Model Shop is proud to stock this product as part of our comprehensive range of RC car upgrades and accessories. Whether you're a seasoned competitor, a weekend basher, or just discovering the world of RC for the first time, quality tyres can make a real difference to your driving experience.
The MT-UPHILL features a bead-lock design that keeps the tyre firmly seated on the wheel rim, preventing slippage during aggressive cornering or high-speed runs. This is a critical feature for anyone serious about RC performance, as tyre slip can dramatically affect handling consistency and lap times. With the 0 offset and 12mm hex fitment, these wheels integrate seamlessly with a wide range of popular 1/10 scale monsters trucks and buggies.
Key Features
- Soft Rubber Compound — The soft tread formula provides superior grip on loose, sandy or muddy surfaces, delivering better traction than harder compounds and allowing you to push your RC monster truck harder through technical terrain without losing control.
- Bead-Lock Wheel Design — The bead-lock mechanism physically clamps the tyre to the wheel rim, preventing tyre roll and maintaining consistent handling under cornering loads, which is essential for maintaining predictable performance during competition or high-speed running.
- Pre-Glued and Mounted — These tyres arrive fully glued to the wheels and ready to install, eliminating the time-consuming process of gluing tyres yourself and ensuring perfect fitment straight from the box.
- 12mm Hex Fitment — The 12mm hex connector is the industry-standard fitting for 1/10 scale monster trucks and many buggies, ensuring compatibility with a huge range of popular RC vehicle platforms including Traxxas, ARRMA and other major brands.
- 0 Offset Wheel Design — The zero offset positioning places the tyre contact patch directly under the chassis suspension geometry for balanced handling characteristics and predictable behaviour during cornering and acceleration.
- MT-UPHILL Profile — The MT (Monster Truck) tread pattern features aggressive sidewall lugs designed to bite into loose surfaces while maintaining structural integrity, providing excellent stability during high-speed runs on mixed terrain.
- Integrated Insert System — The tyres include foam inserts pre-installed, which absorb impacts from obstacles and bumps, reducing vibration transmitted through the chassis and improving overall ride quality on rough ground.
Technical Performance
The MT-UPHILL tyres deliver professional-grade performance across a range of driving conditions and RC car styles. With a tyre diameter of 136.4mm and width of 70.2mm, these wheels are optimised for 1/10 scale monster trucks and provide adequate ground clearance and suspension articulation for serious off-road driving. The soft rubber compound excels on loose surfaces including sand, dirt, grass and mud, offering substantially better grip than medium or hard compounds whilst still maintaining reasonable durability during extended driving sessions. The bead-lock wheel construction is a feature found on premium aftermarket RC wheels, preventing catastrophic tyre failure during hard cornering where centrifugal forces and lateral loads might otherwise cause standard tyres to roll off the rim. The 12mm hex fitment is compatible with a vast array of 1/10 scale vehicles, including the Traxxas Stampede 2WD, Traxxas Rustler 2WD, and Traxxas Monster Jam 2WD platforms, making these tyres an excellent upgrade option for owners of these vehicles. The pre-mounted and pre-glued configuration means you can have your vehicle running on fresh rubber within minutes of opening the box, with no need for specialist tyre mounting equipment or adhesives. The foam inserts provide cushioning that helps maintain traction on bumpy terrain while also protecting the wheel rims and axle components from damage caused by repeated impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC cars are the LOUISE RC MT-UPHILL tyres compatible with? — These tyres feature a 12mm hex fitment and are specifically designed for 1/10 scale monster trucks and off-road buggies. The source confirms compatibility with EP Stampede 2WD R, EP Rustler 2WD R, and EP Monster Jam 2WD R vehicles. However, the 12mm hex fitment means they will work with any 1/10 scale RC car featuring 12mm hex wheel hubs, including many Traxxas, ARRMA and other aftermarket RC vehicle platforms.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The MT-UPHILL tyres are an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate RC enthusiasts. They arrive fully assembled and ready to fit, requiring no gluing, mounting or preparation work. Simply remove your old wheels and fit the new ones in minutes. The soft compound provides forgiving grip characteristics that help newer drivers maintain control, particularly on loose terrain.
- Do the tyres come pre-glued? — Yes, the LOUISE RC MT-UPHILL tyres arrive fully glued to the wheels and mounted with foam inserts, so there is absolutely no preparation required. You can install them on your RC car and start driving immediately without any specialist tools, adhesives or tyre mounting expertise.
- What is the difference between soft and hard RC tyres? — Soft compound tyres grip loose surfaces much better than hard compounds, offering superior traction on sand, dirt and grass. However, they typically wear faster during extended running. Hard compound tyres are more durable but offer less grip. The MT-UPHILL soft compound makes them ideal for racing, bashing and performance-focused driving, whilst accepting that they will require more frequent replacement than harder options.
- Will these tyres fit my 1/10 scale RC car? — If your RC car has 12mm hex wheel hubs, these tyres will fit. The 12mm hex is the most common fitment for 1/10 scale buggies and monster trucks. Check your vehicle's specification or measure your existing wheel fitment to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- What surfaces are these tyres best suited for? — The soft compound and aggressive MT-UPHILL tread pattern make these tyres ideal for loose surfaces including sand, dirt, grass, mud and mixed terrain. They will perform well on grass fields, natural dirt tracks and beach terrain, delivering superior traction compared to harder compounds on these surfaces.
