These tires and Impulse Pro-Loc 4.3" wheels have been developed to be durable enough to handle extreme X-MAXX® punishment to give you the best all-around bashing experience possible.
The Impulse features a groundbreaking Bead-Loc design that allows users to change tires or foams whenever necessary without worrying about the tires coming out of the bead.

The reinforced Tire bead of Pro-Line's Pro-Loc Tires fit into a uniquely shaped channel on the wheel and the bead-loc screws actually pass through the tire rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring to create the maximum possible mounting security. The Impulse design is inspired by full-size off-road wheels with a Tough, Blacked-out look and is manufactured at Pro-Line Headquarters in the USA out of extra thick, extremely durable material designed to take some serious abuse. The look of the Impulse Pro-Loc Wheel is finished off with the Stone Gray Bead-Loc Ring that will get your truck noticed wherever you go!

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. 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.
*Pro-Line Pro-Loc Wheels only accept Pro-Line Pro-Loc Tires*

Key Features
- BELTED Tyre Construction — The Menace HP tyres feature a reinforced internal belt that provides exceptional stability at extreme power levels and high speeds, effectively eliminating the tyre ballooning that occurs with standard unbelt tyres and ensuring your vehicle maintains consistent handling characteristics even during aggressive driving.
- Racing-Inspired Tread Design — Based on 1:1 real-world racing tyre technology, the deep groove tread pattern delivers maximum traction on street surfaces, parking lots, and track environments, giving your RC monster truck the grip it needs for confidence-inspiring performance runs and speed trials.
- Pro-Loc Mounting Technology — Pro-Line's proprietary Pro-Loc system creates an ultra-secure, reusable bond between the Menace HP Pro-Loc tyres and Impulse Pro-Loc wheels, allowing you to change tyres or foam inserts whenever necessary without the risk of tyres coming loose from the bead, whilst utilising the same wheels repeatedly.
- Reinforced Tyre Bead Design — The uniquely shaped reinforced bead on the Menace HP tyres fits into a precisely engineered channel on the wheel, where bead-lock screws pass through the tyre rubber and are pinched by the outer bead-loc ring, creating the maximum possible mounting security for worry-free driving.
- Impulse Pro-Loc Wheel Design — Manufactured in the USA from extra thick, extremely durable material, the Impulse wheels feature a tough, blacked-out aesthetic inspired by full-size off-road racing wheels, engineered to absorb and withstand the extreme punishment delivered by the powerful X-MAXX platform.
- Stone Grey Bead-Loc Rings — The wheels feature distinctive stone grey bead-loc rings that complement the black wheel design, giving your truck a premium, race-inspired appearance that will turn heads wherever you take your RC vehicle.
- Long-Lasting Compound — The Menace HP tyre compound has been engineered for extended durability and consistent performance across multiple driving sessions, making these tyres an excellent value investment for serious bashers and racers alike.
- USA Manufacturing — Every Impulse wheel is proudly manufactured at Pro-Line headquarters in the United States, ensuring quality control and durability standards that meet the demands of professional and hobbyist RC enthusiasts worldwide.
- 24mm Hex Fitting — The wheels are designed with a 24mm hex drive that provides secure mounting to your X-MAXX vehicle and ensures precise wheel alignment for optimal handling and performance.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — This tyre and wheel package can be used on both the front and rear axles of your X-MAXX, allowing you to configure your vehicle exactly as you prefer for maximum performance in your driving conditions.
Technical Performance
The Menace HP tyre and wheel combination represents cutting-edge engineering in RC tyre technology. Each tyre measures 4.3 inches in diameter and features a belted construction that fundamentally changes how your X-MAXX performs at high speeds and high power delivery. The belted design prevents the internal tyre structure from expanding under extreme centrifugal forces, a phenomenon known as tyre ballooning that compromises handling and can lead to tyre failure. The medium-hardness compound has been formulated to provide maximum traction across varied street surfaces whilst maintaining longevity under the extreme stresses of monster truck driving. The open-cell foam inserts included with the package work in harmony with the tyre construction to absorb impacts and provide responsive handling characteristics. The Impulse wheels are manufactured from premium materials with considerably thicker construction than standard wheels, featuring reinforced bead channels that accept Pro-Line's proprietary Pro-Loc bead-lock system. The wheels utilise a 24mm hex connection for secure mounting to your X-MAXX. Important performance note: the Menace HP tyres have a maximum speed rating of 75 mph (approximately 3,200 RPM). Exceeding this speed rating could cause permanent damage to the internal belt structure and may void your warranty. This maximum speed can be exceeded through rapid acceleration, diffing out tyres, or holding throttle whilst wheels are stationary, all of which dramatically increase RPM sent to free-spinning tyres. These tyres are engineered specifically for the Traxxas X-MAXX platform and have been thoroughly tested to withstand the extreme performance capabilities of this flagship brushless monster truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners or experienced RC drivers? — The Menace HP tyres are engineered for high-performance driving and are best suited to experienced RC drivers who understand tyre speed ratings and can operate their X-MAXX responsibly. Beginners can certainly use them, but should be aware of the 75 mph (3,200 RPM) maximum speed rating and operate within safe limits at their local RC track or bashing location.
- What makes the Pro-Loc mounting system better than standard bead-lock wheels? — The Pro-Loc system creates an exceptionally secure bond by having the bead-lock screws actually pass through the tyre rubber before being pinched by the outer ring, maximising mounting security. This design allows you to safely change tyres and foam inserts multiple times using the same wheels, saving you money on expensive wheel replacements whilst maintaining the security you need for high-performance driving.
- What is the maximum safe speed for these tyres? — The Menace HP tyres have a maximum speed rating of 75 mph, which is approximately 3,200 RPM on the X-MAXX. Exceeding this speed, particularly through methods like diffing out tyres or holding throttle whilst wheels are stationary, can permanently damage the internal belt structure and will not be covered under warranty.
- Can I use these wheels with other Pro-Line tyres? — No, the Impulse Pro-Loc wheels are specifically designed to work with Pro-Line Pro-Loc tyres only. The unique bead channel and Pro-Loc mounting system are proprietary to this wheel and tyre combination and cannot be safely used with standard tyre designs.
- Are these tyres good for speed runs? — Yes, the Menace HP tyres are specifically designed with racing-inspired tread and a long-lasting compound that makes them excellent for speed runs and competitive driving. The belted construction ensures stable handling at sustained high speeds, though you must always respect the 75 mph maximum speed rating.
- What is the difference between the Menace HP and other street tyres? — The Menace HP represents Pro-Line's highest-performance street tyre ever created, featuring belted construction that eliminates tyre ballooning, a racing-inspired tread pattern for maximum traction, and engineering specifically optimised for the powerful X-MAXX platform. The combination with the Impulse wheels creates a complete performance package designed to handle extreme power and abuse.
- Will these tyres fit my Traxxas X-MAXX? — Yes, these tyres are specifically engineered for the Traxxas X-MAXX with a 24mm hex fitting for both front and rear axles. They are compatible with all standard X-MAXX variants including the X-MAXX Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S in all colour options, and the X-MAXX Ultimate variants.
- How do I change the foam inserts? — The Pro-Loc system's groundbreaking bead-loc design allows you to change foam inserts without worrying about the tyre coming loose from the bead. Simply unscrew the outer bead-loc ring, remove the old foam insert, install the new one, and retighten the ring securely using the Pro-Loc screws.
