Overview
The PRO 1/7 Hyrax Front/Rear All Terrain Unlimited Desert Racer Tires represent the pinnacle of off-road tyre engineering from Pro-Line Racing, specifically engineered for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer platform. These premium tyres are designed from the ground up for incredible grip and stability on the toughest terrain you can throw at them, whether you're bashing through rocky desert landscapes or pushing your RC car UK to its absolute limits. If you're serious about desert racing performance and want genuine, authorised Pro-Line products, these Hyrax tyres deliver professional-grade handling that will transform your UDR experience.
Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to upgrade your existing Unlimited Desert Racer or someone discovering the world of high-performance RC racing for the first time, these tyres offer unmatched traction and reliability. The Hyrax is built with a special desert racing compound that has been refined through countless hours of testing and competition use. This is not a generic tyre—every element has been carefully considered to maximise performance on loose, sandy, and rocky terrain where grip is constantly challenged. The soft foam inserts work in harmony with the tyre construction to absorb impacts and maintain contact with uneven surfaces, giving you the confidence to push harder and faster.
These are genuine Pro-Line Racing tyres backed by the manufacturer's expertise and available exclusively through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop. The package includes everything you need to fit them to your vehicle, making installation straightforward and hassle-free. If you want to experience what genuine desert racing tyres can do for your 1/7 scale unlimited desert racer, the Hyrax tyres are an investment in performance that will deliver measurable improvements on the track and trail.
Key Features
- Aggressive Open Tread Pattern — The strategically designed open tread pattern creates multiple contact points with the terrain, allowing the tyre to bite through loose sand, gravel, and rock surfaces that would slip on standard tyres. This aggressive design is what separates competition-level desert racing tyres from recreational options.
- Multiple Sipes in Every Tread Block — Each individual tread block contains multiple micro-cuts (sipes) that improve traction by increasing the number of edges that grip the surface. On loose terrain, these sipes act like tiny gripping teeth, dramatically enhancing your vehicle's ability to accelerate, brake, and corner with precision.
- Special Desert Racing Compound — Pro-Line has formulated a unique rubber compound specifically optimised for desert racing conditions. This is not a street compound or a general-purpose off-road mix—it's engineered to perform in the exact conditions where the Unlimited Desert Racer excels, providing superior grip and consistent performance across temperature ranges.
- Stepped Tread Block Design — The stepped profile of each block prevents chunking and tearing while improving lateral grip during cornering. This stepped design means the tyres maintain their integrity even under extreme lateral loads, a critical feature when pushing through high-speed desert turns.
- Highly Detailed Connected Tread on Sidewall — Beyond just looking scaled and realistic, the connected tread pattern on the sidewall extends outward to provide added rigidity. This sidewall design prevents traction rolls—where the tyre rolls inward under extreme cornering loads—keeping your vehicle planted and stable through high-speed manoeuvres.
- Soft Foam Inserts Included — Each pair comes with two open-cell foam inserts that absorb impacts and work with the tyre to maintain consistent ground contact. The foam density is tuned for the specific performance envelope of the 1/7 scale unlimited desert racer, ensuring optimal damping characteristics across various terrain types.
- Designed Specifically for Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer — These tyres are not generic 1/7 scale desert racer tyres—they are engineered with full knowledge of the UDR's geometry, weight distribution, and performance envelope. This specific fitment ensures you get exactly the performance the engineers intended.
- Unmatched Grip and Stability — The combination of aggressive tread pattern, multiple sipes, special compound, and sidewall design creates an unmatched grip experience. Stability comes from consistent tyre-to-ground contact and the prevention of sidewall deflection that plagues lesser tyres.
Technical Performance
The Hyrax All Terrain Unlimited Desert Racer Tires represent the culmination of Pro-Line Racing's extensive experience in developing high-performance RC tyres. Built with a special desert racing compound, these tyres deliver consistent grip across the temperature ranges and terrain types encountered in serious desert racing. The open-cell foam inserts work synergistically with the tyre carcass to absorb impacts from rocky terrain whilst maintaining optimal ground contact on loose surfaces. The stepped tread blocks with multiple sipes create exceptional traction by providing hundreds of gripping edges per square inch of tyre surface. The sidewall construction, featuring the extended tread pattern detail, adds rigidity that prevents traction rolls during aggressive cornering—a critical performance factor in high-speed desert racing where lateral forces can exceed 1.5G. The detailed engineering means that whether you're running a 1/7 scale unlimited desert racer on sand dunes, rocky washes, or technical rocky terrain, the Hyrax tyres maintain predictable behaviour that builds driver confidence. The soft foam inserts are tuned to the specific mass and suspension characteristics of the Unlimited Desert Racer platform, ensuring the tyres perform optimally without modification or additional tuning required.
