Overview
This is a pair of Menace HP 3.8" tires. Pro-Line Menace tires are 1:1 racing-inspired tread designed to give your 1/8 Monster Truck massive traction on your street, parking lot, or track.
The Menace HP tires are BELTED to handle extreme power and high speeds with ease. No tire ballooning here! Transform the handling of your truck with the low-profile carcass, deep grooves, and long-lasting compound, also great for speed runs! These tires and Raid 3.8" wheels have been developed from the ground up to be lightweight and durable enough to handle extreme bashing with your KRATON™ 6S, KRATON™ 4S, MAXX®, or whatever other 17mm-hex rigs you run, to give you the best all-around bashing experience possible.
The Menace HP 3.8" tires come pre-mounted on the next generation 3.8" wheel design from Pro-Line, the Raid 3.8" Removable Hex Wheel! Imagine being able to replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to replace your glued tires! These Raid 3.8" wheels make this possible by using a unique 8x32 interlocking hex design that is secured to the wheel by 8 M3 screws that are spaced 32mm across. The hexes are included and are also available separately (PRO634500). The built-in adjustability and ease of use make this a must-have wheel for bashers everywhere! Be the first to own the latest and greatest technology from Pro-Line, get the pre-mounted Menace tires now!
* Note that the Menace HP tires have a maximum speed rating that, if exceeded, could result in permanently damaging the internal belt. For the Menace HP tires that is 75 mph or about 4,500 RPM. Over-revving your Menace HP tires could result in breaking the internal belt, which will NOT be covered under warranty. This can be caused by "diffing out" your tires or holding the throttle open while one, two, or three of your tires are stopped, which substantially increases the RPM sent to the free-spinning tire or tires.*

Overview
This is a pair of Pro-Line Menace HP 3.8-inch tyres, purpose-designed for 1/8 scale monster trucks and offering serious performance whether you're bashing on the street, conquering a parking lot, or hitting your local track. Pro-Line Menace tyres feature 1:1 racing-inspired tread patterns engineered to deliver massive traction in demanding conditions. Whether you're running an ARRMA KRATON 6S, KRATON 4S, MAXX, or any other 17mm hex-equipped 1/8 or 1/10 scale RC vehicle, these tyres represent a genuine upgrade to your RC car UK setup, combining street performance with the durability needed for serious bashing.
The Menace HP tyres are BELTED construction, which fundamentally changes how they perform under extreme power and high speeds. Unlike standard unbelted tyres that can balloon and distort under load, the internal belt structure keeps these tyres stable and planted, giving you confidence to push your RC monster truck to its limits. The low-profile carcass, deep groove design, and long-lasting compound work together to minimise tyre flex while maximising grip, making these excellent for speed runs and consistent lap times. These tyres have been developed from the ground up alongside Pro-Line's innovative Raid 3.8-inch wheels to create an all-around bashing experience that handles extreme power delivery without compromise.
What makes this package truly special is that the Menace HP tyres come pre-mounted on Pro-Line's next-generation Raid 3.8-inch Removable Hex Wheels. Rather than being permanently glued to the wheel, the innovative 8x32 interlocking hex design uses 8 M3 screws spaced 32mm across the wheel, allowing you to replace a damaged wheel hex without destroying your tyres. This represents a game-changing advancement for RC enthusiasts who want to minimise downtime and reduce ongoing costs. Made in the USA since 1982, Pro-Line has a proven track record of delivering quality RC products, and these tyres and wheels are no exception.
Key Features
- BELTED Tyre Construction — The internal belt structure prevents tyre ballooning and deformation under extreme power and high-speed running, ensuring stable handling and consistent performance whether you're bashing or racing your ready to run RC monster truck.
- Racing-Inspired Tread Design — The 1:1 tread pattern provides maximum long-lasting street traction on tarmac, concrete and mixed surfaces, combined with deep grooves that channel water and debris away from the contact patch for superior grip in varied conditions.
- Low-Profile Carcass — The refined sidewall design minimises flex during cornering and acceleration, giving you more responsive handling characteristics and better feedback from your RC vehicle throughout the drive.
- Medium Compound Formulation — This balanced compound offers excellent durability and longevity whilst maintaining grip levels, making it ideal for both casual bashing and more aggressive driving styles without excessive tyre wear.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each pair of tyres comes with open-cell foam inserts that absorb impacts and help maintain tyre shape, providing a smoother ride feel and protecting your vehicle's suspension components from shock loads.
- Removable Hex Wheel Design — The innovative Raid 3.8-inch wheels feature 8x32 interlocking hexes secured by M3 screws, allowing you to replace damaged hexes without removing the tyre, saving time and money during maintenance and repairs.
- 17mm Wide Offset — The wheels are designed with an offset that optimises the track width and suspension geometry of vehicles fitted with 17mm hex fittings, enhancing overall handling balance and cornering performance.
- High-Strength Durable Construction — The Raid wheels are manufactured from DuPont nylon, a premium material selected for its combination of strength, impact resistance and durability under the extreme stresses of bashful RC driving.
- Raid 10-Spoke Design — The wheel design draws inspiration from full-size racing wheels, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio with aesthetic appeal that looks period-correct on your 1/8 scale RC monster truck.
- Universal Compatibility — These tyres and wheels fit ARRMA KRATON 6S, KRATON 4S, TALION 6S, MAXX, Traxxas WideMaxx, and any other 1/8 or 1/10 vehicle with 17mm hex fittings, providing versatile options for your RC collection.
- Made in the USA — Pro-Line has manufactured quality RC products since 1982, and these Menace HP tyres and Raid wheels continue that tradition of American engineering and quality control.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Menace HP 3.8-inch BELTED tyres represent a significant engineering advancement in 1/8 scale RC performance. Each tyre measures 3.8 inches in diameter with a width of 3.3 inches (84mm), providing substantial contact patch and ground clearance appropriate for monster truck applications. The belted construction is critical for handling the extreme power outputs of modern brushless RC vehicles, particularly when running 6S LiPo configurations in vehicles like the ARRMA KRATON 6S or TALION 6S. The medium compound hardness strikes a balance between grip and durability, with the racing-inspired tread pattern optimised for street and all-road surfaces. Importantly, the Menace HP tyres have a maximum speed rating of 75 mph (approximately 4,500 RPM); exceeding this threshold can permanently damage the internal belt structure and will not be covered under warranty. This speed limit should be carefully observed, and users should avoid "diffing out" their tyres or holding open the throttle when one or more wheels are stationary, as this dramatically increases RPM on the free-spinning tyre or tyres. The accompanying Raid 3.8-inch wheels utilise an 8x32 interlocking hex design with 8 M3 screws providing secure attachment and easy hex replacement. The wheels are manufactured from high-strength DuPont nylon and feature a 10-spoke pattern inspired by full-size racing wheels, combining aesthetic appeal with genuine functional strength. The removable hex concept is particularly valuable for serious bashers and racers, as damaged hexes can be replaced independently without removing or destroying pre-mounted tyres. These tyres and wheels have been developed from the ground up to be lightweight and durable enough to handle extreme bashing with high-powered 6S systems and everything from casual weekend driving to competitive racing applications. The foam inserts included with each tyre pair absorb impacts and maintain tyre shape under load, contributing to the overall ride quality and component longevity of your RC monster truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for high-speed bashful driving on UK tracks and streets? — Yes, the Menace HP BELTED tyres are specifically designed for street and all-road surfaces with racing-inspired tread patterns. However, you must respect the 75 mph (4,500 RPM) maximum speed rating, as exceeding this can permanently damage the internal belt structure. They excel for consistent speed runs and aggressive bashing without balloon-related instability.
- What is special about the removable hex wheel design? — The Raid 3.8-inch wheels feature a unique 8x32 interlocking hex design secured by 8 M3 screws spaced 32mm apart. This allows you to replace a damaged hex without removing the tyre, saving significant time and money on maintenance compared to traditional glued tyre setups where a damaged hex requires removing the entire tyre.
- Which 1/8 scale RC vehicles will these tyres fit? — These Menace HP tyres and Raid wheels fit any 1/8 or 1/10 scale RC vehicle with 17mm hex hubs, including ARRMA KRATON 6S, KRATON 4S, TALION 6S, MAXX, Traxxas WideMaxx, and many others. Check your vehicle documentation to confirm your hex size before ordering.
- What is the difference between BELTED and standard tyres? — BELTED tyres feature an internal belt structure that prevents tyre ballooning and deformation under extreme power and high-speed running. Standard unbelted tyres can expand and lose shape under load, affecting handling consistency. Belted construction is essential for high-powered 6S vehicles where extreme torque and speed are involved.
- Are foam inserts necessary? — Yes, the open-cell foam inserts included with these tyres are important for absorbing impacts, maintaining tyre shape under load, and protecting your vehicle's suspension. Using your tyres with the foam inserts will provide better ride quality and extend component lifespan during aggressive bashing.
- What is the maximum speed rating, and why is it important? — The Menace HP tyres have a maximum speed rating of 75 mph (approximately 4,500 RPM). Exceeding this speed can permanently damage the internal belt structure and will not be covered under warranty. Avoid "diffing out" your tyres or holding the throttle open when wheels are stationary, as this substantially increases RPM on free-spinning tyres.
- Can I use these tyres with 6S LiPo batteries? — Yes, these BELTED tyres are specifically designed to handle extreme power from modern brushless motors running 6S configurations. They are compatible with ARRMA KRATON 6S, TALION 6S and similar high-powered vehicles. However, you must observe the 75 mph speed limit to avoid belt damage.
- How long do Menace HP tyres typically last? — The medium compound formulation and BELTED construction are designed for long-lasting durability during both casual bashing and competitive racing. Actual lifespan depends on driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance. The removable hex design helps extend overall lifespan by allowing hex replacement without tyre replacement.
