Overview
The Louise RC ST-Uphill Removable Hex wheel and tyre set is a premium choice for 1/10 scale stadium truck enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend basher, these professionally engineered wheels deliver the performance and versatility you need. Stadium trucks demand precision tyres that can handle both carpet and asphalt surfaces with equal confidence, and the ST-Uphill range has earned its reputation as a go-to solution for serious RC car UK competitors.
What sets these wheels apart is their removable hex adapter system, which gives you unprecedented flexibility in vehicle setup. Rather than being permanently affixed, the hexagonal adapters come in multiple sizes—12mm narrow, 12mm wide, 14mm, and 17mm options—allowing you to fine-tune your stance and handling characteristics without replacing entire wheel assemblies. This modular approach is a game-changer for drivers who want to experiment with different offsets or adapt their setup to changing track conditions.
Supplied as a complete set of two mounted and glued units, these Louise RC tyres arrive ready for immediate installation on compatible 1/10 stadium truck platforms. The combination of quality materials, responsive handling characteristics, and genuine Louise RC engineering makes this an investment in consistent performance and longevity.
Key Features
- Removable Hex Adapter System — Rather than welded or permanent connections, the removable 1/10 SC hex adapters can be easily swapped out, allowing you to choose between 12mm narrow, 12mm wide, 14mm, or 17mm configurations depending on your specific vehicle setup and track requirements.
- Dual Offset Options — The set includes both 0-inch and 1/2-inch offset variants, giving you the ability to dial in the exact wheel stance needed for optimal weight distribution and cornering performance on your stadium truck.
- Sport-Compound Rubber — The medium-hardness sport compound tyre material strikes a careful balance between grip and durability, performing consistently across a wide range of track surfaces and weather conditions without excessive wear.
- Foam Cut Inserts — Pre-installed foam inserts provide the perfect amount of sidewall flex and damping, reducing tyre deflection during aggressive cornering and delivering predictable handling in both high-speed and technical sections of a track.
- 102mm Diameter Profile — The 102mm tyre diameter is precisely engineered for 1/10 stadium truck dynamics, providing the ideal rolling circumference for acceleration response and top-speed potential.
- 52mm Width Specification — At 52mm wide, these tyres offer excellent contact patch stability while maintaining the lightweight construction that stadium truck drivers demand for rapid weight transfer and responsive steering inputs.
- Pre-Mounted and Glued — These tyres arrive mounted on nylon composite rims and already glued, eliminating the time-consuming bead-seating process and allowing you to install them immediately upon arrival.
- Professional-Grade Black Rims — The high-quality nylon composite rim material is both lightweight and durable, resisting the impacts and stresses that come with competitive RC racing.
- Competition-Level Racing Specification — Louise RC has engineered this set for racing and competition use, meaning every detail has been considered to maximise lap times and consistency.
- Two-Unit Pack — Receive a matched pair of wheels, allowing you to install them front and rear for balanced handling across your entire vehicle.
Technical Performance
The Louise RC ST-Uphill represents a serious commitment to stadium truck excellence. With a 102mm diameter and 52mm width, these tyres occupy the sweet spot for 1/10 scale competition driving, where every millisecond counts. The sport-compound rubber has been formulated to medium hardness, providing the responsiveness competitive drivers crave without sacrificing the durability needed for repeated practice sessions and race days. The foam cut inserts are pre-installed, meaning the tyre wall has already been engineered to flex appropriately under load—this controlled compliance allows the tyre to conform to track irregularities whilst maintaining steering precision. The nylon composite rims feature a 71mm bead diameter (2.8 inches), a specification that has become the industry standard for 1/10 stadium truck applications. The removable hex adapter system is where Louise RC's engineering truly shines; by offering 12mm narrow, 12mm wide, 14mm, and 17mm options with both 0-inch and 1/2-inch offsets, the company acknowledges that no two drivers' vehicles are set up identically. Some prefer a narrower stance for reduced rolling resistance, whilst others want maximum track width for improved cornering stability. The ability to change this without replacing tyres or rims represents genuine engineering flexibility. These wheels arrive pre-mounted and glued, meaning the bead has already been sealed to the rim and the tyre is ready for installation. This saves hours of preparation time and ensures professional-quality bead sealing that will hold throughout the racing season.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between stadium truck tyres and other 1/10 RC tyres? — Stadium trucks demand a specific tyre profile optimised for mixed surfaces—both tarmac and carpet racing. The ST-Uphill's sport compound and foam insert design make it ideally suited to this application, providing consistent grip across varied conditions. Standard off-road or on-road tyres would either lack sufficient grip on carpet or wear too quickly on abrasive surfaces.
- Can I use these tyres on any 1/10 stadium truck? — These tyres are designed specifically for 1/10 stadium truck platforms and feature removable 1/10 SC hex adapters. However, your vehicle must accept these hex sizes (12mm narrow, 12mm wide, 14mm, or 17mm). Most modern 1/10 stadium trucks use compatible hexagonal drive systems, but you should verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
- What does the 0-inch and 1/2-inch offset mean? — Wheel offset determines how far the tyre sits relative to the vehicle's centreline. A 0-inch offset positions the wheel more centrally, whilst a 1/2-inch offset moves it outward. Different offsets affect weight distribution, handling characteristics, and how the vehicle corners. Having both options allows you to tune your setup to your track and driving style.
- Do I need to install these myself or can they be fitted? — These tyres arrive mounted and glued, ready for installation. You simply need to fit the removable hex adapter to your vehicle's drive hub and attach the wheel. The pre-mounted and pre-glued design eliminates the technical bead-seating process entirely, making installation straightforward even for less experienced builders.
- How long will these tyres last during competitive racing? — The medium-hardness sport compound represents a balance between grip and longevity. In competitive stadium truck racing, most drivers see consistent performance for several race meetings before noticeable wear becomes apparent. Your individual mileage will depend on track surface, driving aggression, and maintenance habits, but these are built for frequent use.
- What's the advantage of removable hex adapters? — Rather than being permanently bonded to the rim, the removable hex system allows you to experiment with different sizes and offsets without replacing entire wheels. This flexibility is invaluable when testing setups, adapting to different vehicles, or discovering what works best for your driving style.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Whilst these are professional-grade competition tyres, they are certainly suitable for beginners provided you have a compatible 1/10 stadium truck. The straightforward installation (pre-mounted and glued) and predictable handling characteristics make them appropriate for any skill level. However, beginners should be aware that these are specialist stadium truck tyres and won't work on off-road or on-road RC vehicles without modification.
