Technical Performance
The Losi BKT 2.6 Monster Truck Tyre has been developed using Losi's extensive engineering expertise in 1/8 scale monster truck design. The medium compound rubber formulation is specifically optimised for the LMT 2.0's solid axle suspension geometry, which is engineered to deliver extreme ground clearance and impressive climbing ability. The 2.6 inch tyre diameter is sized perfectly for the LMT 2.0's wheelbase and track width, maintaining the vehicle's carefully calibrated centre of gravity and ensuring predictable handling across varied terrain. The beadlock ring system provides mechanical security, preventing tyre slip on the wheel and maintaining consistent performance throughout extended driving sessions. The inclusion of the 17mm wheel hex adapter ensures proper engagement with the LMT 2.0's diff outputs, delivering reliable power transfer to the ground. These premounted units eliminate the variability that can occur during manual tyre mounting, ensuring consistent performance from the moment you install them. The construction quality reflects Losi's commitment to reliability and durability, with materials selected to withstand the demands of serious RC monster truck bashing and competition use.
