Simply unbox them, mount them on your buggy's 17mm hexes, and get straight to ripping up the dirt with confidence.
What sets the Badlands MX apart is its status as a true all-terrain tyre that will find traction on virtually any surface. Whilst these tyres excel on loose and loamy dirt, muddy terrain and grass surfaces, their versatile design means you can trust them in diverse track conditions. Just imagine your buggy throwing up huge rooster tails and leaving clouds of dirt in its wake — that's the Badlands MX experience. For weekend bashers, competitive racers and everyone in between, these pre-mounted tyres represent excellent value and genuine performance in the competitive RC buggy market.

Technical Performance
The PRO 1/8 Badlands MX M2 represents a significant engineering achievement in 1/8 scale buggy tyre design. Standing 117mm tall with a width of 44mm, these tyres deliver a substantial footprint that translates to increased grip and traction across varied terrain. The tyre compound is Pro-Line's legendary M2 race rubber, specifically formulated to balance wear resistance with performance — a critical consideration for both competitive racers seeking lap-time advantages and recreational bashers who want value for money. The M2 designation indicates a medium-compound tyre that provides excellent all-terrain capability, excelling particularly on loose, loamy and muddy surfaces where precision grip is essential. The Velocity Black wheels feature an extremely true finish achieved through precision manufacturing, ensuring perfect wheel balance that translates to smooth rolling and predictable handling at speed. These wheels are constructed from high-strength DuPont nylon, a material chosen specifically for its ability to withstand the impact loads and lateral forces generated during aggressive 1/8 scale buggy racing. The 17mm hex fitting is the industry standard for 1/8 buggies, ensuring compatibility with leading models from manufacturers including HoBao, Corally and many others popular in the competitive RC buggy scene across the UK. Whether you're preparing for track competition or weekend outdoor bashing, the Badlands MX M2 delivers the performance characteristics demanded by modern RC buggy enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres pre-glued and ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, these tyres come pre-mounted on Velocity Black wheels and are ready to install directly onto your 1/8 buggy. There is no need for additional tyre gluing, curing or preparation — simply fit them to your 17mm hexes and you're ready to drive.
- What surfaces are the Badlands MX M2 tyres best suited for? — These tyres excel on loose and loamy dirt, muddy terrain and grass surfaces. Whilst they are true all-terrain tyres that will generate traction on virtually any surface, they are specifically optimised for these loose terrain conditions where their knobby tread design delivers maximum grip.
- Can I use these tyres on both the front and rear of my buggy? — Yes, the Badlands MX M2 tyres are suitable for both front and rear positions on 1/8 buggies, offering flexibility in your setup and allowing you to adjust handling balance as needed.
- Are the Velocity wheels of good quality? — Absolutely. The Velocity wheels feature an extremely true finish and are manufactured from high-strength DuPont nylon, delivering the durability and precision required for competitive RC buggy racing. Their greater stability and connectivity ensure consistent handling performance.
- What is the difference between the M2 compound and other Pro-Line tyre compounds? — The M2 is a medium-compound tyre that balances wear resistance with performance across diverse terrain. This makes it an excellent all-rounder for buggy racing — neither too soft (which wears quickly) nor too hard (which struggles for grip on loose surfaces). The M2 compound is specifically formulated to deliver the grip required on loose and loamy dirt whilst maintaining reasonable durability for recreational and competitive use.
- Will these fit my 1/8 buggy? — These tyres fit any 1/8 scale buggy equipped with standard 17mm hexes. Compatibility is extensive, including popular models from HoBao and Corally. If you're uncertain whether your specific buggy has 17mm hexes, please check your buggy's documentation or contact our RC Model Shop team for verification.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The pre-mounted configuration eliminates the technical complexity of tyre preparation, making them ideal for beginner RC buggy enthusiasts. Simply mount them and drive. However, these are also serious performance tyres that appeal equally to experienced racers and competitive drivers seeking genuine performance advantages.
