Key Features

• Sport Compound Soft Hardness — Louise RC's specialist sport rubber compound is particularly wear-resistant whilst maintaining excellent grip on various driving surfaces, specifically formulated for lighter 1/16 scale models to deliver outstanding steering precision and road-holding during aggressive cornering and technical sections.
• Pre-Mounted and Glued — These tyres arrive fully mounted on the wheels and permanently bonded using industrial-grade rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive, meaning you can fit them directly to your RC truck without any preparation, saving time and ensuring professional-quality installation.
• Advanced Foam Inserts — Each tyre incorporates specially selected cut-to-size foam inserts with specific density rating to guarantee perfect dampening characteristics and form stability, ensuring the tyre maintains its shape under extreme forces during driving, cornering and high-impact landings.
• High-Quality Nylon Composite Wheels — The wheels are manufactured from a premium mixture of high-quality nylon granulates reinforced with fibre or utilised without fibre, using composites specially developed by Dupont specifically for Louise RC to deliver exceptional flexibility and strength under extreme loads.
• Perfect Tyre-to-Wheel Bond — Louise RC's proprietary bonding process involves grinding and degreasing both the tyre and wheel surfaces, applying precision-dosed cyanoacrylate adhesive, pressing for specific duration and subjecting every tyre to spinning and pulling tests to guarantee zero separation.
• 12mm Hex Fitment — The wheels feature standard 12mm hexagonal adaptors that fit all major 1/16 stadium truck models from Traxxas including E-Revo, Summit and Savage XS Flux, making these tyres a direct replacement for your existing wheels.
• Proven Performance Engineering — Louise RC draws on years of experience producing high-performance tyres specifically for RC hobbyists and bashers who demand durability and grip that can handle the power and speed of modern electric RC trucks.

Technical Performance

These ST-ROCKET tyres represent the culmination of Louise RC's extensive engineering expertise in RC tyre design and manufacturing. The sport compound in soft hardness is specifically engineered to balance wear resistance with grip performance, providing the steering precision and cornering stability that 1/16 scale RC truck drivers demand. The wheel construction uses Dupont-developed nylon composite materials that are engineered to flex appropriately under load whilst maintaining structural integrity through corners, jumps and aggressive acceleration. The foam inserts are selected to specific density ratings, ensuring the tyre absorbs impact whilst maintaining consistent form for predictable handling characteristics. The cyanoacrylate adhesive bonding process is controlled with such precision that each tyre receives an identical amount of adhesive applied via a special dosing machine, followed by controlled pressing and curing, then verified through mechanical testing. This manufacturing rigor means you receive tyres with absolutely zero voids in the tyre-to-wheel bond, eliminating the risk of tyre separation that can occur with lower-quality glued tyres. At 87mm in diameter and 43mm in width (measured as 42.8mm across the source), these tyres deliver excellent ground clearance and contact patch for 1/16 scale bashers.
