This is a complete pre-mounted tyre and wheel solution engineered specifically for the demands of extreme RC driving, combining Pro-Line's legendary Badlands MX43 tyres with their revolutionary Impulse Pro-Loc wheels. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade your X-MAXX or a weekend basher wanting the best possible off-road grip and appearance, this tyre and wheel combo delivers the performance and style that separates your truck from the rest. The 1/5 scale sizing and aggressive motocross-inspired design make this one of the most impressive wheel and tyre combinations available for monster truck RC models.
Pro-Line has engineered this system from the ground up to address the specific challenges of running a massive 1/5 scale monster truck like the X-MAXX. The biggest problem faced by X-MAXX owners has always been tyre degradation and ballooning at high speeds, but the Badlands MX43 solves this issue with an all-new ultra-durable compound that maintains its shape and integrity even under extreme conditions. Combined with the innovative Impulse Pro-Loc wheels, this is the tyre and wheel solution X-MAXX owners have been waiting for, offering both superior performance and genuine ease of maintenance. This is a true ready-to-run solution – simply bolt them on to your X-MAXX and experience transformative performance improvements immediately.
If you're running an RC car in the UK or anywhere else and want your X-MAXX to stand out whilst performing at its absolute best, the Badlands MX43 Pro-Loc tyres mounted on Impulse wheels are an essential upgrade. These tyres will have your monster truck throwing up huge rooster tails across loose dirt, mud and grass, whilst the stone grey bead-loc rings and blacked-out wheel design turn heads wherever you drive.
Key Features
- Pro-Loc Technology — Pro-Line's groundbreaking proprietary Pro-Loc Technology creates an ultra-secure bond between the tyres and wheels that prevents slippage and movement whilst remaining removable when necessary, giving you the security of a permanently mounted tyre without the permanence.
- Ultra-Durable Compound — The all-new tyre compound resists ballooning even at high speeds, which is critical for 1/5 scale monster trucks that generate tremendous forces during acceleration and braking. This means your tyres maintain their shape and performance lap after lap, session after session.
- Motocross-Inspired Tread Design — The Badlands MX43 features a bigger, bolder knobby tread pattern that matches modern motocross tyre design, providing aggressive appearance combined with genuine all-terrain traction on loose, loamy dirt, mud and grass surfaces.
- Reinforced Tyre Bead — The reinforced bead of each Pro-Loc tyre fits into a uniquely shaped channel on the Impulse wheel, and the bead-lock screws pass through the tyre rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring, creating maximum possible mounting security.
- Impulse Pro-Loc Wheels — The wheels feature a groundbreaking bead-loc design that allows you to change tyres or foam inserts without worrying about the tyres coming away from the bead, saving time and frustration during maintenance and repairs.
- USA Manufacturing — These wheels are manufactured at Pro-Line Headquarters in the United States from extra thick, extremely durable material specifically engineered to withstand serious X-MAXX abuse without cracking or breaking.
- Aggressive Styling — The tough, blacked-out Impulse wheel design is inspired by full-size off-road wheels and finished with distinctive stone grey bead-loc rings, giving your X-MAXX a competition-grade appearance that stands out from the crowd.
- All-Terrain Capability — While best suited for loose and loamy dirt, mud or grass, these tyres find traction on virtually any surface you'll encounter, making them versatile enough for diverse driving conditions across the UK and beyond.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each set includes foam inserts, ensuring you have everything needed to get the most comfort and performance from your tyres immediately upon installation.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — This set includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies suitable for either front or rear positions on your X-MAXX, giving you flexibility in setup configurations.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Badlands MX43 Pro-Loc system represents cutting-edge engineering in the RC hobby market. At 211mm in height and 97mm in width, these are genuinely large tyres that make a visual statement on any 1/5 scale X-MAXX. The tyres fit the 24mm hex fitting standard for X-MAXX vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility without adapters or modifications. The ultra-durable compound used in these tyres represents a significant step forward in RC tyre technology – it's engineered to resist the sidewall deformation and ballooning that plagues standard tyres when driven at speed or under load. This is particularly important for X-MAXX owners who push their trucks hard on high-speed runs or aggressive off-road courses. The reinforced tyre bead works in conjunction with the uniquely shaped wheel channel to distribute forces evenly across the mounting area, preventing the micro-movements that can lead to tyre slippage or separation. The extra thick wheel construction provides the durability needed to handle impacts with rocks, logs and uneven terrain without cracking or warping. The innovative bead-loc screw design ensures that mounting pressure is applied directly through the tyre rubber, creating a mechanical lock rather than relying solely on friction – this is why these Pro-Loc tyres cannot be used with standard wheels, and standard tyres cannot be used with Pro-Loc wheels. The combination of materials, engineering and manufacturing quality makes this system the premier choice for serious X-MAXX drivers across the UK RC community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these tyres fit my Traxxas X-MAXX? — Yes, these tyres and wheels are specifically designed for all Traxxas X-MAXX models including the X-MAXX Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S, X-MAXX Ultimate, and X-Monster. They feature the standard 24mm hex fitting used by X-MAXX vehicles.
- Can I use these Pro-Loc tyres on other wheels? — No, Pro-Line's Pro-Loc tyres are specifically engineered to work only with Pro-Line's Pro-Loc wheels due to the unique reinforced bead design and the way the bead-loc screws interact with the tyre rubber. Using them on standard wheels will not provide proper mounting security.
- What makes the Pro-Loc system better than standard beadlock wheels? — The Pro-Loc system goes beyond traditional beadlock technology by having the mounting screws actually pass through the tyre rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring. This creates a mechanical lock combined with friction, providing superior mounting security compared to standard beadlock designs that rely primarily on clamping force.
- Do these tyres balloon at high speed? — No, these tyres are specifically engineered with an all-new ultra-durable compound designed to prevent ballooning even at high speeds. This is a major selling point for X-MAXX owners, as tyre ballooning has historically been a problem with large-scale RC monster trucks.
- Can I change the foam inserts without removing the tyres? — Yes, the Pro-Loc design allows you to remove the wheels from your truck and change the foam inserts without removing the tyres from the wheels, provided you have the correct Pro-Loc tools. This saves significant time when adjusting your setup.
- What surfaces are these tyres best suited for? — While these are true all-terrain tyres that find traction on most surfaces, they're specifically optimised for loose and loamy dirt, mud and grass. The aggressive motocross-inspired tread excels on these terrain types, though you can use them anywhere your RC driving takes you.
- Are these tyres suitable for racing or just bashing? — These tyres are genuinely suitable for both applications. Their durability and anti-ballooning compound make them perfect for competitive racing, whilst their aggressive appearance and traction characteristics also make them ideal for fun weekend bashing sessions.
- What is the scale of these wheels and tyres? — These are 1/5 scale components, making them one of the largest consumer RC wheel and tyre combinations available. They fit the X-MAXX and similar 1/5 scale platforms.
- Will these improve the handling of my X-MAXX? — Yes, the aggressive knobby tread provides better grip on loose surfaces compared to standard X-MAXX tyres, and the larger overall size combined with the anti-ballooning compound helps improve stability and handling characteristics, particularly at high speeds and during aggressive driving.
- Are these wheels durable enough for serious off-road use? — Absolutely. The wheels are manufactured from extra thick material in the USA and are engineered specifically to withstand the demands of extreme X-MAXX driving, including impacts with obstacles and sustained high-speed operation.
