Key Features

• Beadlock Wheel Design — Rather than relying on glue to secure the tyre to the wheel, these beadlock wheels use a unique mechanical clamping system with screws in the outer ring that hold the tyre firmly in place. This approach not only looks extremely scale-realistic with authentic fixing screws visible on the wheel rim, but more importantly provides superior reliability under extreme cornering forces, high jumps and powerful acceleration where conventional glued tyres can slip or separate from the wheel.
• Soft Compound Rubber — Louise RC's specially-developed soft rubber compound offers exceptional grip across different surfaces while maintaining excellent durability and wear resistance. The soft compound is optimised for 1/10 scale vehicles, delivering outstanding road-handling precision and steering feedback that helps you navigate tight corners and maintain control at speed. This rubber formulation is compatible with the high-power ratings of modern RC cars, ensuring your tyres keep up with your vehicle's performance capabilities.
• MFT Micro Fibre Technology — The tyres feature an integrated textile belt within the rubber tread that prevents deformation and ballooning during high-speed operation. This advanced technology maintains the tyre's shape and diameter even under extreme acceleration and sustained high-speed runs, providing increased stability, significantly better road contact, and extended tyre life compared to standard rubber compounds without MFT reinforcement.
• Pre-Mounted and Ready to Install — These wheels arrive fully assembled with the tyres already mounted and foam inserts pre-fitted, eliminating the need for time-consuming gluing, curing, and insert preparation. You can install them immediately and begin driving, saving hours of preparation time and ensuring perfect foam insert density and sizing for optimal dampening and form stability.
• Specialist Foam Inserts — Each tyre is fitted with carefully selected preformed foam inserts of specific density and size to guarantee perfect dampening characteristics and form stability. These inserts work in conjunction with the soft compound rubber to absorb impacts and maintain tyre shape under heavy braking, accelerating and cornering loads.
• Professional Materials and Engineering — The wheels are manufactured from high-quality nylon composite materials specially developed by DuPont, combining standard nylon with fibre-reinforced variants. This composite construction provides the exact balance of flexibility and strength needed to withstand the extreme forces generated during driving, jumping and cornering, ensuring reliability through extended use.
• 1/2 Inch Offset Design — The 1/2 inch wheel offset has been engineered to optimise vehicle stance and handling characteristics. This offset influences the way your RC car sits on the track and how weight transfers during cornering, making it suitable for stadium trucks and buggies that benefit from this specific wheel positioning.
• 12mm Hex Fitment — The wheels use standard 12mm hex adapters, making them compatible with a comprehensive range of popular 1/10 scale RC vehicles available in the UK, including multiple Traxxas platforms and the Savage XS Flux. Check the vehicle compatibility list to confirm fitment with your specific model.
• Black Chrome Finish — The distinctive black chrome finish provides an attractive, modern appearance that matches contemporary RC car aesthetics and complements most colour schemes. The premium finish protects the underlying composite material whilst adding visual appeal to your vehicle.

Technical Performance

The Louise RC ST-Uphill wheels deliver measurable performance improvements across multiple driving dimensions. With a tyre diameter of 122.1mm and width of 56.3mm, these proportions have been specifically calculated to provide optimal contact patch and suspension compliance for 1/10 scale vehicles. Each complete wheel and tyre assembly weighs 243 grams, a figure carefully engineered to balance rotational mass with structural strength. The soft compound rubber, combined with MFT micro fibre technology reinforcement, creates a tyre that maintains consistent grip levels across varying surface conditions and ambient temperatures. The beadlock construction distributes mechanical stress more evenly across the tyre-to-wheel interface compared to conventional glued designs, reducing the risk of catastrophic tyre failure during aggressive driving, high-speed cornering or landing from jumps. Louise RC's engineering ensures that despite the MFT technology's additional weight and slightly increased overall size compared to standard tyres, the performance gains in stability, road contact and tyre longevity justify the investment. We recommend checking and potentially adjusting your vehicle's gear ratio when upgrading to these premium tyres, as the increased grip may change your vehicle's acceleration characteristics. Additionally, if you're running a standard servo, the improved grip these tyres provide may generate additional steering demand during cornering, so a servo upgrade to one with higher torque rating is recommended for optimal performance and to prevent servo strain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles do the Louise RC ST-Uphill wheels fit? — These wheels feature 12mm hex fitment and are specifically designed for 1/10 scale stadium trucks, buggies and truggies. Compatible vehicles include Traxxas Stampede 2WD (FR), Traxxas Rustler 2WD (FR), Traxxas Stampede 4WD (FR/R), Traxxas Monster Jam 2WD (FR), and Savage XS Flux (FR/R). Always check the detailed compatibility list with your specific model number before purchasing, as some variants may have different hub sizes or mounting requirements.
• What is the difference between beadlock wheels and standard glued wheels? — Beadlock wheels use a mechanical clamping system with screws rather than adhesive, offering superior reliability under extreme driving conditions including high-speed cornering, aggressive acceleration and big jumps. The beadlock design prevents tyre slip or separation that can occur with glued tyres under mechanical stress. Additionally, beadlock wheels feature realistic scale appearance with visible fixing screws in the outer ring, making them popular among RC enthusiasts who value authentic looks alongside performance.
• Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — No. These wheels arrive with the tyres already mounted using the beadlock clamping system, and they are ready to install immediately. There is no gluing required, no curing time to wait for, and no need to prepare foam inserts separately. Simply fit them to your vehicle's hex hubs and start driving.
• What is MFT Micro Fibre Technology and why does it matter? — MFT stands for Micro Fibre Technology and refers to a textile belt integrated into the rubber tread of the tyre. This reinforcement prevents the tyre from deforming and ballooning (expanding under load) during high-speed operation, keeping the tyre diameter and shape consistent even during powerful acceleration and sustained high-speed runs. The benefits include increased stability, significantly improved road contact and traction, and extended tyre lifespan. The MFT technology does add slight weight and may increase overall tyre diameter marginally compared to standard tyres without this reinforcement.
• Will these tyres improve my RC car's handling? — Yes. The soft compound rubber provides excellent grip across various surfaces whilst maintaining precise steering feedback. The beadlock construction offers superior stability during cornering and jumping compared to standard glued tyres. However, the improved grip may require adjustments: you may need to check your gear ratio as the vehicle's acceleration characteristics may change, and you should consider upgrading to a high-torque servo as the increased grip demands more steering input during cornering.
• What surfaces are these tyres suitable for? — The ST-Uphill tyres with soft compound rubber perform well on loose dirt, clay tracks, grass fields, and indoor surfaces. The soft compound is designed for all-round performance rather than specific track types, making these versatile tyres suitable for both competitive racing and recreational bashing on varied UK terrain.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are suitable for beginners to intermediate drivers. The pre-mounted design eliminates complex tyre preparation, and the consistent grip they provide helps develop smooth driving technique. However, beginners should be aware that these premium tyres deliver better performance than standard equipment, which means your vehicle will handle differently than before and may benefit from servo and gear ratio adjustments.
• Do the tyres come with foam inserts? — Yes. The tyres arrive with pre-fitted foam inserts of specifically selected density and size, ensuring perfect dampening and form stability without requiring any additional preparation or separate purchase of insert materials.
