Overview
The Pro-Line 1/10 Sand Paw LP Front/Rear 2.8 inch MT Tires Mounted on 12mm Black Raid Wheels represent a game-changing solution for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to dominate sand and snow terrain. These pre-mounted tyre and wheel combinations are specifically engineered for vehicles like the Traxxas Rustler 2WD, Rustler 4x4, Stampede and JATO, delivering exceptional grip and traction in conditions where standard RC car tyres simply slip and slide. If you're serious about off-road RC performance and want tyres that will genuinely transform your truck's capability in challenging terrain, this is the complete package you've been waiting for.
What makes these ready-to-run RC tyre sets stand out is the innovative combination of Pro-Line's proven Sand Paw LP paddle tyre technology paired with the next-generation Raid removable hex wheel system. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher looking to expand your fleet or someone discovering the thrill of RC vehicles for the first time, this pre-mounted solution removes the guesswork from tyre selection and wheel compatibility. The rush of ripping through sand dunes or shredding fresh powdery snow with genuine grip is an experience that separates quality RC setups from the rest, and these tyres deliver exactly that performance.
Pro-Line has engineered these Sand Paw LP 2.8 inch tyres to be direct replacements that fit on any 2.8 inch wheels, though they come pre-mounted on the innovative Raid wheels for maximum convenience. The integration of cutting-edge removable hex technology means you're not just buying tyres and wheels—you're investing in a flexible, upgradeable system that grows with your RC hobby needs.
Key Features
- Huge Split-Paddle Design — The Sand Paw LP 2.8 inch tyres feature distinctive large paddles with split paddle technology that generates the highest possible traction in sand and snow, allowing your RC truck to grip, rip and roost through terrain where conventional RC car tyres would fail completely.
- Pre-Mounted Ready-to-Use Configuration — These tyres arrive already mounted on the black Raid wheels, eliminating the need for gluing, balancing or complex assembly, so you can install them on your Rustler or Stampede and start driving within minutes.
- Removable Hex System for Offset Adjustment — The innovative 6x30 interlocking hex design allows you to change wheel offsets on the fly by simply swapping hexes, transforming your setup from 2WD narrow offset (ideal for Stampede or Rustler rear) to wide offset configurations (perfect for front-end or 4x4 applications) without needing new wheels.
- Included Offset Options — The package includes both 12mm narrow and 12mm wide offset hexes, providing the two most common offset requirements for Traxxas vehicles, giving you immediate compatibility with multiple applications.
- Easily Replace Damaged Hexes — If you damage a wheel hex during aggressive bashings, you can simply replace the hex rather than losing your entire tyre and wheel assembly, saving money and reducing downtime.
- Upgrade to 17mm Hexes — The system accepts Pro-Line's 17mm wheel hexes (sold separately) for extreme use applications, allowing your RC truck setup to evolve as your driving demands increase.
- High-Strength Durable Construction — The Raid wheels are manufactured from high-strength DuPont nylon material, engineered to withstand the intense forces of RC off-road driving while maintaining the detailed 10-spoke racing wheel aesthetic.
- Authentic Racing Wheel Design — The detailed 10-spoke wheel design recreates the latest in high-performance full-size forged racing wheels, whilst moulded-in bead-lock detail adds visual authenticity that matches the aggressive character of modern RC trucks.
- Made in the USA — Pro-Line manufactures these wheels in the USA to exacting standards, ensuring quality and reliability that serious RC hobbyists can depend on.
- Universal 2.8 Inch Wheel Compatibility — Because these Sand Paw LP tyres fit any 2.8 inch wheels, you have the flexibility to use them on other Pro-Line 2.8 inch wheel options if you want to experiment with different wheel designs without repurchasing tyres.
Technical Performance
These Sand Paw LP 2.8 inch tyres represent a significant advancement in paddle tyre technology for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. The engineering behind paddle tyres for sand and snow driving is entirely different from standard terrain tyres—the split paddle technology creates multiple contact points that dig into soft surfaces, transforming your RC truck from a vehicle that drifts uncontrollably to one with genuine directional control and traction. The 2.8 inch size positions them as a direct-fit solution for popular Traxxas platforms including the Rustler 2WD and 4WD variants, Stampede 2WD and 4WD, and the JATO. The pre-mounted configuration arrives with the tyres already glued and balanced on the Raid wheels, saving the hours of preparation work that typically precedes running new RC tyres. The Raid wheel system employs a sophisticated 6x30 interlocking hex design secured by six M3 screws spaced 30mm across, providing a robust mechanical connection that handles the high-speed impacts and directional forces generated during off-road driving. The high-strength DuPont nylon construction of the wheels ensures consistent performance whether you're driving in cold, damp UK conditions or in more extreme environments. At 4.49 inches (114mm) in height and 2.05 inches (52mm) in width, these tyres and wheels maintain the proportions necessary for authentic 1/10 scale appearance whilst delivering the ground clearance and traction depth required for genuine off-road capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these Sand Paw LP tyres fit my RC truck? — These 2.8 inch Sand Paw LP tyres are direct replacements for any 2.8 inch wheels and come pre-mounted on the innovative Raid wheels. They are specifically designed as perfect fits for the Traxxas Rustler 2WD, Rustler 4x4, Stampede 2WD, Stampede 4x4, and JATO rear, making them ideal if you own any of these popular RC truck models available in the UK market.
- How do the removable hexes work and why would I want them? — The Raid wheels feature a 6x30 interlocking hex design that connects to the wheel via six M3 screws. Rather than having a fixed hex offset, you can remove the hex and replace it with a different offset option, allowing you to adapt your wheel setup for different applications—for example, switching from a narrow offset suitable for rear use to a wide offset for front-end mounting—all without needing to replace your glued tyres.
- What offset options are included? — The package includes both 12mm narrow offset hexes (ideal for 2WD Stampede or Rustler rear positioning) and 12mm wide offset hexes (perfect for 2WD Stampede or Rustler front and 4x4 Stampede or Rustler front and rear), providing the two most common offset configurations you'll need.
- Can I upgrade these wheels in the future? — Yes, the Raid wheel system is designed for upgradeability. You can purchase Pro-Line replacement hexes (model 6335-00) if you damage a hex, or upgrade to 17mm wheel hexes (model 6336-00, sold separately) if you want to use these wheels for extreme driving applications.
- Are these tyres any good for sand and snow driving? — The Sand Paw LP tyres are specifically engineered for sand and snow performance with huge split paddles that dig into soft surfaces for maximum traction, grip and control. Where standard RC car tyres slip and slide in sand and snow, the Sand Paw LP technology grips, rips and roosts, making these an essential choice if you regularly drive in these challenging terrains.
- Will these tyres work on other wheel brands? — Yes, the Sand Paw LP 2.8 inch tyres are pre-glued and will work on any 2.8 inch wheel, giving you flexibility to experiment with other Pro-Line 2.8 inch wheel designs if desired, though the removable hex benefits are specific to the Raid wheel system.
- What's included with hardware? — The package includes M3 x 12mm long socket head cap screws (12 pieces total) necessary for assembling the hex adapters to the wheel body, providing everything needed to start using the wheels immediately.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These pre-mounted tyre and wheel sets are excellent for beginners because they arrive ready to use—no gluing or wheel balancing is required. However, beginners should be aware that paddle tyres are specifically designed for sand and snow driving rather than typical terrain, so they're most beneficial if you plan to drive in those conditions regularly.
