LOUISE RC MT-ROCKET 1/8 SPORT 0 OFFSET BLACK EP E-MAXX FR L-T3217B

Overview

The LOUISE RC MT-ROCKET 1/8 SPORT 0 OFFSET BLACK EP E-MAXX FR tyre and wheel set (L-T3217B) represents premium quality RC tyres engineered specifically for 1/8 scale monster trucks. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast, a weekend basher, or someone looking to upgrade your existing monster truck setup, these professionally mounted and glued tyres deliver the performance and durability that separates serious hobbyists from casual players. Louise RC has built a reputation across the RC industry for producing some of the finest tyres available, and this MT-ROCKET Sport compound set exemplifies that commitment to excellence.

These tyres are fully assembled and ready to fit straight onto your 1/8 monster truck, eliminating the need for separate gluing or mounting work. The combination of sport-grade rubber compound, precision-engineered nylon composite wheels, and expert factory bonding ensures that you're getting a complete package that will perform consistently across a wide variety of driving conditions and surfaces. The 0-offset design provides standard width fitment for most 1/8 monster trucks, though Louise RC recommends considering 1/2 offset wheels if you want to increase your overall car width by approximately 25mm to prevent tyre-to-chassis contact depending on your specific suspension and body setup.

These are genuine replacement tyres suitable for popular models including the Traxxas E-MAXX, E-Revo 3.3, Savage XL, and Savage Flux HP FR/RTR. If you're searching for reliable, ready-to-run RC tyres for your 1/8 monster truck, the MT-ROCKET Sport set offers exceptional value and proven performance that will keep you competitive or simply enjoying your hobby at the highest level.

Key Features

• Sport Compound Rubber Technology — Louise RC has developed a unique sport rubber compound specifically for the demands of high-performance 1/8 scale RC cars, available in soft and medium-soft densities. This 1/8 scale set uses the medium-soft compound, which is particularly wear-resistant and provides outstanding road-handling and steering precision whilst maintaining excellent grip across different surface types, making it ideal for both bashers and competitive drivers alike.
• Factory Mounted and Glued — These tyres arrive fully assembled on the wheel rims with professional factory bonding, saving you valuable time and ensuring perfect adhesion that will withstand the extreme forces encountered during high-speed driving, cornering, and jumping. Louise RC employs a specialized multi-stage bonding process including surface preparation, precision cyanoacrylate gluing with a custom dosing machine, pressing for proper curing, and spinning and pulling tests to guarantee flawless bonding on every set.
• Premium Nylon Composite Wheels — The wheel rims are manufactured from high-quality nylon composite materials specially developed by Dupont® for Louise RC, with optional fibre reinforcement to balance flexibility and strength. This engineering ensures the wheels can withstand the extreme loads and stresses generated during high-powered driving whilst maintaining the proper flex characteristics needed for optimal tyre performance and longevity.
• Precision Foam Inserts — Each tyre features cut-to-size foam inserts selected for specific density to guarantee perfect dampening and maintain tyre form stability under extreme driving conditions. These preformed inserts are crucial for maintaining consistent tyre shape and performance during aggressive driving, jumps, and sustained high-speed runs across varied terrain.
• 17mm Hex Adapter Compatibility — With standard 17mm hex adapters, these wheels fit most major 1/8 scale monster truck models, including the Traxxas E-MAXX, E-Revo 3.3, Savage XL, Savage Flux HP FR and RTR variants, and similar vehicles from other manufacturers, making them an excellent choice for anyone with a compatible 1/8 monster truck.
• 0-Offset Design — The zero offset configuration provides standard width fitment for most 1/8 monster trucks in their stock configuration. However, Louise RC notes that depending on your specific car setup, body style, suspension geometry, and tyre width, the tyres may contact your chassis, in which case upgrading to 1/2 offset wheels would provide an additional 25mm in total track width and eliminate any clearance issues.
• Professional Quality Assurance — Every tyre set undergoes spinning and pulling tests to ensure perfect bonding and adherence to Louise RC's exacting quality standards. This commitment to quality control means you're purchasing tyres that have been individually verified for performance and durability before leaving the factory.

Technical Performance

The LOUISE RC MT-ROCKET Sport 0-Offset tyre set represents the pinnacle of 1/8 scale RC tyre engineering, combining decades of Louise RC's experience in developing high-performance racing and bashing tyres. The sport-grade medium-soft compound is specifically formulated to handle the demanding requirements of modern high-powered 1/8 scale monster trucks, where extreme forces are generated through aggressive acceleration, hard cornering, and high-altitude jumps. The tyre diameter of 166mm and width of 108mm provide optimal footprint for traction whilst the 472-gram weight per wheel and tyre assembly is calibrated for proper handling characteristics on these larger platforms. The wheels themselves are engineered using Dupont®-developed nylon composite materials that provide the critical balance between rigidity needed to maintain wheel shape under load and flexibility required to absorb impacts during aggressive driving. The custom cyanoacrylate bonding process ensures that the rubber tyre is permanently affixed to the nylon rim, preventing the slippage or separation that can occur with inferior gluing methods. This is particularly important for 1/8 scale vehicles where the power levels from modern brushless motors and high-capacity LiPo batteries can generate forces that would instantly destroy poorly bonded tyres. The sport compound delivers wear resistance that allows multiple driving sessions before noticeable degradation, excellent steering response that translates directly to improved handling precision, and consistent grip across concrete, asphalt, dirt, grass, and synthetic surfaces commonly encountered in RC driving.

What's in the Box

• One complete set of 4 × LOUISE RC MT-ROCKET Sport tyres mounted and glued on 17mm hex black nylon composite wheels
• Pre-installed foam inserts in each tyre for proper dampening and form stability

Frequently Asked Questions

• What 1/8 monster truck models are these tyres compatible with? — These tyres with 17mm hex adapters are compatible with most 1/8 scale monster trucks including the Traxxas E-MAXX, E-Revo 3.3, Savage XL, and Savage Flux HP FR/RTR models. However, Louise RC recommends checking their detailed TIRE-WHEEL CAR CHART to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle setup, as body style, suspension configuration, and other factors can affect fitment.
• What does 0-offset mean and should I be concerned about tyre clearance? — The 0-offset design provides standard track width for your 1/8 monster truck in most cases. However, depending on your specific suspension setup, body choice, and the tyre width, there is a possibility the tyres could contact your chassis during extreme suspension articulation or hard cornering. If you experience this issue, Louise RC recommends upgrading to their 1/2 offset wheels, which would increase your overall car width by approximately 25mm and eliminate any clearance concerns.
• Are these tyres suitable for both racing and recreational bashing? — Yes, absolutely. Louise RC's Sport compound has been specifically developed for the RC hobby driver and basher who require excellent performance across varied surfaces and conditions, whilst also providing the durability and precision that competition drivers expect. The sport-grade medium-soft compound is perfect for 1/8 scale vehicles and delivers outstanding grip, wear resistance, and handling characteristics suitable for both serious competition and weekend recreational driving.
• Why are these tyres more expensive than alternatives and what justifies the cost? — Louise RC tyres command premium pricing due to several factors: the custom-developed Dupont® nylon composite wheel materials, the precision multi-stage factory bonding process with individual quality testing, the specially formulated sport rubber compound optimised for 1/8 scale vehicles, and decades of engineering expertise. Each tyre set undergoes spinning and pulling tests to verify bonding integrity before shipment, ensuring you receive a product that will withstand the extreme forces generated by modern brushless RC cars without separation or failure.
• What is the difference between the Sport compound and other Louise RC tyre options? — Louise RC produces tyres in different compounds to suit different driving styles and vehicle types. The Sport compound featured in this set is specifically engineered for hobby drivers and bashers who value excellent grip, steering precision, and wear resistance across varied surfaces. This differs from racing-specific compounds that might prioritise pure lap-time performance on specific track surfaces. The sport-grade medium-soft density is optimised for the heavier, more powerful 1/8 scale models, whilst lighter 1/10 cars typically use softer sport compounds.
• How are these tyres bonded and why does the gluing method matter? — Louise RC uses a special rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive that has been custom-developed for their specific wheel and tyre materials. The bonding process involves grinding and degreasing both the tyre rings and wheel surface, applying precisely metered adhesive using a dedicated dosing machine, pressing the assembly for proper curing, and finally performing spinning and pulling tests to verify the bond. This meticulous approach is crucial because the extreme forces in 1/8 scale RC driving—acceleration loads, cornering G-forces, and impact from jumping—would cause inferior bonding methods to fail catastrophically.
• Can I order just two tyres or do I need to buy a full four-tyre set? — This product is sold as a complete four-tyre set mounted on wheels. If you need to replace only one or two tyres on your vehicle, please contact our team at RC Model Shop and we can discuss your specific requirements and potential solutions.
