Key Features

• Pre-Mounted and Glued — These tyres arrive fully bonded to the wheels using Louise RC's proprietary rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive, saving you hours of preparation time and ensuring a perfect permanent bond that will withstand the extreme forces of jumping, cornering and high-speed driving.
• Soft Racing Compound — The specially developed soft rubber compound provides maximum grip and traction whilst building temperature during driving, making these tyres ideal for competitive racing where every tenth of a second counts.
• Premium Wheel Construction — The wheels are manufactured from high-quality nylon composites charged with fibre, developed in partnership with DuPont, delivering the perfect balance of flexibility and strength to absorb impacts without breaking under extreme loads.
• Precision Foam Inserts — Cut-to-size foam inserts with carefully selected density ensure perfect dampening and form stability, maintaining tyre shape through cornering and landings whilst providing consistent feel lap after lap.
• 0-Offset Design — The 0-offset rim keeps your vehicle at its standard track width, providing neutral handling characteristics suitable for most 1/8 truggy platforms without requiring suspension geometry adjustments.
• 17mm Hex Compatibility — These tyres fit the vast majority of modern 1/8 scale truggies including Associated, Arrma, HPI, Team Corally, Mugen and S-Workz models, making them a universally compatible upgrade.
• Front and Rear Suitable — These tyres are engineered to work equally well on both front and rear positions, simplifying your spare tyre inventory and allowing flexible setup experimentation.
• Quality Assurance Testing — Every tyre set undergoes rigorous spinning and pulling tests during manufacturing to guarantee perfect bonding and consistent performance, reflecting Louise RC's commitment to quality in the RC industry.

Technical Performance

The Louise RC T-Rocket 1/8 truggy tyres represent the culmination of years of research and development in competition tyre design. With a tyre diameter of 137mm and width of 65mm, these proportions are optimised for truggy racing where a balance between ground clearance and traction is critical. Each tyre and wheel assembly weighs 250 grams, a specification carefully controlled to maintain consistent handling and rotational mass for predictable performance. The rubber compound is harder than Louise RC's super-soft offering, making the soft compound ideal for drivers seeking maximum grip without excessive wear, particularly important when training and practising. The tyres build grip as they reach operating temperature, which is why Louise RC recommends completing a few warm-up laps before pushing for your best times. The construction methodology employed at Louise RC's manufacturing facility is rigorous: the rubber tyre rings are precision-ground and degreased, the wheel surface is similarly prepared, and glue is applied using a specially calibrated dosing machine to guarantee identical adhesive quantities on every tyre. The bonded assembly is then pressed for a specific duration to ensure proper curing, followed by individual spinning and pulling tests. This manufacturing discipline ensures that every set of Louise RC T-Rocket tyres performs identically, eliminating the variables that plague lower-quality alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What 1/8 truggy models are compatible with Louise RC T-Rocket tyres? — These 17mm hex tyres fit most modern 1/8 truggies including Associated RC8T, Arrma Talion, HPI Trophy Truggy, Team Corally Shogun, Mugen MBX-T and S-Workz S35-T. Louise RC provides a comprehensive tyre-wheel car chart on their website to verify exact compatibility with your specific model, and we recommend checking this before ordering.
• Do I need to glue these tyres onto the wheels myself? — No, these tyres are pre-glued and ready to install. They arrive fully bonded using Louise RC's proprietary rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive, eliminating the preparation work and ensuring a perfect bond. You simply mount them onto your truggy's hubs and drive.
• What is the difference between the soft and super-soft compounds? — Both are competition-grade racing compounds, but the soft compound offers a better balance between grip and tyre wear, making it ideal for training, practice and general competition use. The super-soft compound provides maximum grip for qualifying sessions and finals when ultimate traction is the priority, but wears faster with use.
• Will these tyres fit my 1/10 scale buggy? — No, these are specifically engineered for 1/8 scale truggies. The 137mm diameter and 65mm width, combined with the 17mm hex adapter, are designed exclusively for 1/8 truggy chassis. Using them on 1/10 vehicles would result in poor handling and potential damage.
• How long do Louise RC T-Rocket tyres last? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on driving intensity, surface conditions and driving style. The soft compound is formulated to balance grip retention with durability, making it suitable for extended practice sessions. Racing hard on abrasive asphalt will wear them faster than bashing on dirt or grass.
• Can I buy these tyres separately for front and rear? — These tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions, so this single set can be used on either end of your truggy. If you want separate tyre sets optimised specifically for front or rear, Louise RC manufactures position-specific variants, though these T-Rockets are versatile enough for either location.
