Overview
This is a pair of Menace HP 5.7" tires. Pro-Line has taken our lightweight belted tire & wheel combination for X-MAXX® and KRATON™ 8S to the next level with our highest-performance street tire ever: The Menace HP mounted on Raid 5.7" Wheels! Pro-Line Menace tires are 1:1 racing-inspired tread design to give your rig 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 5.7" wheels have been developed from the ground up to be lightweight and durable enough to handle extreme X-MAXX® and KRATON™ 8S punishment to give you the best all-around bashing experience possible.
The Raid 5.7" Black Wheel now features a removable hex for ultimate versatility! Not only do the included hexes allow you to choose between the KRATON™ 8S and X-MAXX® axle sizes, but they also allow you to easily replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to replace your glued tires and eliminate the need for other adapters or wheel modification. The hefty 8x48 interlocking hex design is secured to the wheel by 8 M3 screws that are spaced 48mm across. Replacement Hexes are available separately (PRO638300).
Please 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 3,200 RPM. Overrevving 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.
Please note: All tires & wheels are sold in pairs, unless otherwise noted

Overview
The Pro-Line Menace HP 5.7 inch Street BELTED Tires mounted on Raid Black 8x48 Hex wheels represent the pinnacle of high-performance RC tyre and wheel technology for large-scale vehicles. This is a pair of premium tyres that Pro-Line has engineered to take their lightweight belted tyre and wheel combination for X-MAXX® and KRATON™ 8S platforms to an entirely new level of performance. If you're searching for the best RC car tyres UK retailers have to offer, or looking for a serious upgrade to your existing 1/5 scale monster truck or basher, the Menace HP is the answer. These are not ordinary tyres—they represent the highest-performance street tyre ever created by Pro-Line, combining racing-inspired engineering with real-world durability that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
The Menace HP tyres feature a 1:1 racing-inspired tread design that delivers massive traction whether you're tearing through your local street, navigating a parking lot, or pushing your truck to its limits on a dedicated RC track. What sets these tyres apart is their revolutionary BELTED construction, which handles extreme power and high speeds with ease, completely eliminating the tyre ballooning that can plague traditional unbelt designs. The deep grooves and long-lasting compound work together to provide exceptional grip in all conditions, making these tyres equally suitable for hardcore speed runs as they are for general bashing and recreational driving. These tyre and wheel combinations have been developed from the ground up specifically for the X-MAXX® and KRATON™ 8S platforms, engineered to be lightweight and durable enough to withstand the extreme punishment these powerful vehicles can deliver.
For UK RC enthusiasts looking for a ready-to-run wheel and tyre solution that delivers both performance and reliability, the Menace HP 5.7 mounted on Raid wheels offers outstanding value. Whether you're upgrading an existing large-scale RC vehicle or setting up a new basher for speed runs and street bashing, this combination provides the all-around performance you need for the best bashing experience possible.
Key Features
- BELTED Tyre Construction — The belted design prevents tyre ballooning even under extreme power and high-speed conditions, maintaining consistent performance and eliminating the flex that can compromise handling and traction during aggressive driving or acceleration.
- Racing-Inspired Tread Pattern — Pro-Line's 1:1 racing-inspired tread design provides massive traction on street surfaces, parking lots, and tracks, delivering the grip you need whether you're performing speed runs or general recreational bashing.
- Low-Profile Carcass Design — The low-profile construction combined with deep grooves transforms your truck's handling characteristics, improving cornering performance, stability, and overall drivability compared to standard tyre designs.
- Long-Lasting Compound — The specially formulated tyre compound is engineered for longevity, resisting excessive wear even during extended driving sessions and maintaining grip throughout the tyre's lifespan.
- Removable Hex System — The innovative removable 8x48 interlocking hex design allows you to easily replace a damaged wheel hex without needing to replace your glued tyres, saving time and money on repairs and maintenance.
- Versatile Compatibility — The included 24mm hexes with standard 1/5 scale through hole fitment allow you to easily switch between KRATON™ 8S and X-MAXX® axle sizes without additional adapters or wheel modifications.
- High-Strength Wheel Material — The Raid wheels are manufactured from durable DuPont Nylon material, providing the strength and resilience needed to handle the punishment delivered by high-powered electric RC vehicles.
- 10-Spoke Racing Wheel Design — The iconic 10-spoke wheel design mimics full-size racing wheels, delivering both aggressive aesthetics and proven structural strength for demanding RC applications.
- M3 Hex Hardware — Secured by 8 M3 screws spaced 48mm across, the interlocking hex system provides exceptional security and prevents wheel separation during aggressive driving.
- Foam Inserts Included — Complete with foam inserts to provide proper tyre support, maintain shape, and optimise performance characteristics across different driving conditions.
- USA Manufacturing Heritage — Pro-Line has been manufacturing quality RC products since 1982, and these tyres and wheels continue that tradition of American-made reliability and performance.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Menace HP 5.7 Street BELTED Tires represent a significant advancement in large-scale RC tyre technology, specifically engineered for the extreme demands of vehicles like the Arrma KRATON™ 8S and Traxxas X-MAXX®. The belted construction is the critical innovation here—traditional unbelt tyres can balloon and deform under extreme acceleration and high-speed driving, causing loss of traction and unpredictable handling. The Menace HP's internal belt structure prevents this deformation, maintaining consistent tyre shape and contact patch regardless of the power being delivered. This engineering allows these tyres to safely handle the 6S and 8S LiPo power systems that drive modern large-scale bashers, with a maximum speed rating of 75 mph (approximately 3,200 RPM). It's crucial to note that exceeding this speed rating can permanently damage the internal belt structure, so users should take care to avoid sustained high-RPM conditions caused by diffing out tyres or holding throttle open whilst one or more tyres are stopped. The deep groove pattern is not merely aesthetic—it's engineered to channel water, dirt, and debris away from the contact patch, maintaining traction on wet or dirty street surfaces. The low-profile carcass design reduces unsprung weight while maintaining structural integrity, improving overall vehicle dynamics, reducing body roll, and enhancing cornering speed. These tyres are sold as a pair (two wheels) and come ready to mount, with foam inserts included for immediate use. The Raid wheels themselves feature a premium finish using high-strength DuPont Nylon material, chosen for its combination of light weight and superior durability compared to standard plastic wheel materials. The removable hex system using 24mm hubs with standard 1/5 scale through holes makes these wheels compatible with not only X-MAXX® and KRATON™ 8S platforms but also other large-scale vehicles that use matching hub specifications. Replacement hexes (PRO638300) are available separately should you need them, making long-term ownership and maintenance straightforward and economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Pro-Line Menace HP 5.7 tyres suitable for UK street and car park driving? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed for street use, car parks, and track driving. The racing-inspired tread pattern and long-lasting compound provide excellent traction on tarmac surfaces, making them ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who want to bash their trucks on driveways, streets, and parking areas.
- What is the maximum speed rating for these Menace HP tyres? — The maximum safe speed rating is 75 mph (approximately 3,200 RPM). Exceeding this speed can cause permanent damage to the internal belt structure, which is not covered under warranty. This limitation typically only affects extreme speed-run scenarios and should not impact normal bashing or recreational driving.
- Can I use these tyres on vehicles other than X-MAXX® and KRATON™ 8S? — Yes, these tyres are compatible with any large-scale RC vehicle that uses 24mm hex hubs with standard 1/5 scale through holes. If your vehicle uses different hub sizes, you can order replacement hexes separately (Pro-Line PRO638300) to achieve compatibility.
- What makes the belted construction better than traditional unbelt tyres? — The internal belt structure prevents tyre ballooning and deformation under extreme power and high-speed driving. Unbelt tyres can flex and lose their shape during aggressive acceleration, compromising traction and handling. The Menace HP maintains consistent shape and contact patch, delivering reliable performance even with powerful 6S and 8S LiPo batteries.
- How do the removable hexes work, and why is this feature useful? — The 8x48 interlocking hex design uses 8 M3 screws to attach to the wheel. If a hex is damaged, you can simply unscrew it and replace it without needing to replace the glued tyres, saving significant cost on repairs. This also provides versatility between different vehicle platforms without requiring wheel modifications.
- Are these tyres good for speed runs and racing? — Absolutely. The racing-inspired tread design, low-profile carcass, and long-lasting compound are specifically engineered for speed runs. The belted construction ensures stability at high speeds on smooth surfaces, making these excellent for competitive driving within the 75 mph speed rating.
- What is included in the box and what do I need to provide? — The package includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies with foam inserts and hardware. You simply need a compatible RC vehicle with 24mm hex hubs. Everything needed for installation is included, making this a true out-of-the-box solution.
- Can I replace damaged hexes if they break? — Yes, replacement hexes are available separately (Pro-Line PRO638300). Simply unscrew the 8 M3 fasteners and swap in a new hex without disturbing your glued tyres. This modularity is one of the key advantages of this system.
- What makes Pro-Line tyres better than budget alternatives available in the UK? — Pro-Line has been manufacturing quality RC products since 1982, and these Menace HP tyres represent their highest-performance street tyre ever. The belted construction, racing-inspired tread design, precision engineering, and real-world durability deliver superior performance and longevity compared to budget alternatives, ultimately providing better value for serious RC enthusiasts.
