LOUISE RC X-ROCKET BLACK MOUNTED X-MAXX HEX 24MM L-T3295B

Overview

The Louise RC X-ROCKET BLACK MOUNTED X-MAXX HEX 24MM represents a premium tyre and wheel solution engineered specifically for the Traxxas X-Maxx 1/5 scale monster truck. Whether you're a competitive RC enthusiast or a weekend basher looking to upgrade your RC car UK setup, this pre-mounted tyre and wheel package delivers exceptional performance, durability and handling characteristics. Louise RC has established itself as a recognised leader in high-performance RC tyres, and the X-ROCKET range exemplifies their commitment to quality engineering and innovation.

The X-ROCKET tyres come mounted and pre-glued on professional-grade black nylon wheels, ready to install directly onto your X-Maxx 6S or 8S. This eliminates the need for tyre mounting yourself, saving time and ensuring perfect factory-level bonding between tyre and rim. The package includes a pair of wheels, allowing you to upgrade both front and rear positions simultaneously, or keep a spare set for competition or extended bashing sessions.

What sets the X-ROCKET apart from conventional RC monster truck tyres is the incorporation of advanced MFT (Micro Fiber Technology), a textile belt embedded within the rubber tread that fundamentally transforms how these tyres perform under extreme acceleration, high-speed runs and aggressive cornering. If you're serious about maximising your X-Maxx's potential on hard-packed clay surfaces or achieving competitive lap times on asphalt, the X-ROCKET offers measurable advantages over standard tyres.

Key Features

• MFT (Micro Fiber Technology) — The textile belt integrated into the tyre tread actively prevents the rubber from deforming and ballooning during high-speed acceleration and cornering, a common problem with conventional RC car tyres. This keeps the tyre diameter and contact patch stable, maintaining grip consistency and improving handling precision throughout your run.
• Sport Compound Rubber (Medium-Soft) — Louise RC's sport rubber compound is specifically formulated for high-powered 1/8 and 1/5 scale RC vehicles like the X-Maxx. The medium-soft hardness provides exceptional wear resistance, outstanding road handling, precise steering response and excellent grip across different surface types, ensuring your investment lasts through many sessions.
• Professional Mounting and Gluing — Each tyre is mounted on the wheel using Louise RC's proprietary cyanoacrylate adhesive system, specially developed to withstand extreme forces. The manufacturing process includes surface grinding, degreasing, precision glue application via automated dosing machines, pressure curing and rigorous spinning and pulling tests on every tyre to guarantee perfect bonding that won't fail under the intense loads of modern brushless RC cars.
• Premium Black Nylon Wheels — The wheels are manufactured from high-quality nylon composite granulates, engineered and developed by Dupont for Louise RC. This material composition provides the optimal balance of flexibility and strength required to absorb impacts from high jumps, aggressive landings and extreme cornering forces without cracking or failure.
• Foam Insert Dampening — Each tyre includes cut-to-size foam inserts selected for precise density and dimensions. These inserts provide essential shock absorption and maintain tyre shape stability, ensuring consistent performance and extending overall tyre lifespan during intensive driving sessions.
• 24mm Hex Fitting (X-Maxx Specific) — The wheels feature a 24mm hex adapter specifically matched to Traxxas X-Maxx vehicles. This ensures perfect fitment and eliminates any play or compatibility issues, allowing you to install these wheels with complete confidence.
• Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres and wheels are engineered to perform equally well in both front and rear positions on the X-Maxx, providing consistent handling characteristics and allowing you to rotate your wheels for even wear patterns.

Technical Performance

The X-ROCKET tyre assembly delivers measurable performance improvements across every aspect of X-Maxx operation. The diameter of 204mm and width of 98mm provide excellent ground contact, whilst the MFT technology ensures this contact patch remains consistent and stable even under extreme acceleration and braking. The complete tyre and wheel assembly weighs 780 grams per pair (390g per wheel), a deliberate specification that balances rotational mass against the structural demands of 1/5 scale brushless racing. The 0mm offset rim design ensures proper brake cooling and suspension geometry alignment on the X-Maxx chassis. The rim bead diameter of 140mm (5.5 inches) is precisely engineered for X-Maxx fitment. Build quality is exceptional throughout: the nylon composite construction withstands the extreme forces generated during high-speed runs, aggressive landings from substantial jumps and sustained cornering at full throttle. The professional bonding process ensures the tyre remains firmly glued to the wheel throughout the tyre's service life, even when subjected to repeated acceleration cycles that generate significant centrifugal forces. Louise RC's reputation in the RC industry is built on products like this — engineered solutions that measurably improve vehicle performance and durability. The sport compound hardness is calibrated specifically for high-powered 1/8 and 1/5 scale vehicles; attempting to use softer compounds designed for smaller models will result in excessive wear and unpredictable handling.

Important Installation Notes

• Servo Upgrade Recommended — The increased grip and road contact provided by MFT technology tyres may exceed the torque capacity of your existing standard steering servo. Louise RC recommends upgrading to a high-torque servo to handle the additional steering load and prevent servo damage or failure.
• Gear Ratio Adjustment — The MFT technology typically results in a slightly larger overall tyre diameter and increased rolling resistance compared to non-belted tyres. You may need to adjust your X-Maxx's gear ratio to achieve optimal acceleration and top speed. Consult your X-Maxx manual or your local RC hobby shop UK for specific gear recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is MFT technology and why does it matter for RC off-road performance? — MFT (Micro Fiber Technology) features a textile belt embedded within the tyre tread that prevents the rubber from expanding and deforming during high-speed driving and aggressive acceleration. Without MFT, conventional tyres experience significant ballooning — the tyre diameter actually increases under load, reducing ground contact and handling precision. MFT keeps your tyre shape stable and consistent, providing more predictable steering response, better grip and extended tyre life. For competitive driving or serious bashing, this represents a significant performance advantage.
• Are these tyres suitable for a beginner RC car UK driver? — Whilst these are professional-grade tyres designed for high-performance applications, they are absolutely suitable for beginners. The pre-mounted design eliminates the complexity of tyre gluing and mounting, making installation straightforward. However, if you're upgrading from stock X-Maxx tyres, you should be aware that the improved grip may require servo and gear ratio adjustments, and the medium-soft compound does wear faster than harder compound tyres if used extensively on abrasive surfaces. For weekend bashers seeking better performance, the X-ROCKET represents an excellent upgrade.
• Will these tyres fit my Traxxas X-Maxx 6S and 8S models? — Yes, these tyres are engineered specifically for both the X-Maxx 6S and X-Maxx 8S models. The 24mm hex fitting is standard across both variants. You may also fit these to other RC vehicles that use 24mm hex wheel adapters, though Louise RC specifically recommends verifying compatibility using their detailed tyre-wheel compatibility chart before purchase.
• Do I need to do anything before installing these wheels on my X-Maxx? — The wheels arrive completely mounted, glued and ready to install. Simply unscrew your existing wheels and bolt on the new X-ROCKET wheels to the 24mm hex adapters on your X-Maxx. The only preliminary steps you should consider are: checking whether your current servo has sufficient torque for the increased grip (you may want to upgrade), and determining if your current gear ratio needs adjustment for optimal performance with the slightly larger tyre diameter.
• What surfaces perform best with the X-ROCKET tyre? — Louise RC specifically recommends the X-ROCKET as the obvious choice for hard-packed clay surfaces and asphalt speed runs. The sport compound medium-soft hardness provides excellent grip across different surface types, making these tyres versatile for various track conditions. The MFT technology ensures consistent performance across all surface types by maintaining stable tyre shape.
• How do the Louise RC manufacturing standards ensure these tyres won't fail? — Every tyre undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process including surface preparation (grinding and degreasing of both tyre and wheel), precision glue application via automated dosing machines, pressure curing for specific periods, and mandatory spinning and pulling tests on every single tyre. This level of quality control is why Louise RC is recognised as one of the best in the RC industry for tyre bonding and durability.
• What is the difference between these sport compound tyres and other Louise RC tyre options? — Louise RC produces tyres in different compounds for different purposes. The sport compound in the X-ROCKET is specifically engineered for RC hobby drivers and weekend bashers who want high performance without the specific racing requirements of competition tyres. The sport compound delivers exceptional wear resistance, outstanding handling and excellent grip. Competition-specific compounds have different characteristics optimised for pure speed or specific track conditions.
