LOUISE RC MT-CYCLONE 1/8 SPORT 0" OFFSET HEX 17MM BLACK L-T3323B

Overview

The Louise RC MT-Cyclone 1/8 Sport 0" Offset Hex 17mm Black tyre and wheel set (L-T3323B) represents premium aftermarket performance tyres designed specifically for serious 1/8 scale monster truck enthusiasts in the UK. Whether you're running an E-Revo, E-Maxx, Summit, Kraton, or any other compatible 1/8 monster truck, this ready-to-run tyre set delivers the exceptional grip, durability and handling precision that Louise RC has become renowned for across the RC car UK community. These are pre-mounted, pre-glued tyres that arrive race-ready, eliminating the hassle of mounting and gluing yourself—simply bolt them onto your 17mm hex adaptor and get driving.

Louise RC has invested decades of engineering expertise into perfecting the science of RC tyres, and the MT-Cyclone Sport compound represents the pinnacle of that knowledge. These tyres are engineered for the RC basher and recreational driver who demands outstanding performance across varied terrain without the temperamental demands of competition-grade rubber. The Sport compound comes in a medium-soft hardness specifically formulated for the heavier, more powerful 1/8 scale models, providing exceptional wear resistance whilst maintaining the grip and steering precision that transforms your RC experience on grass, dirt, carpet and concrete alike.

With a 0-offset configuration, these tyres will give your monster truck the standard width, though Louise RC notes that depending on your specific car setup, body and suspension geometry, the tyres may occasionally make contact with your chassis. For those who prefer additional clearance, the 1/2 offset alternative will add approximately 25mm to your overall vehicle width. Available as a pair of pre-glued, foam-insert equipped wheels, this is a complete, ready-to-install solution for upgrading your 1/8 monster truck's traction and handling characteristics.

Key Features

• MFT Micro Fibre Technology — The textile belt woven throughout the rubber tread prevents your tyres from deforming and ballooning during high-speed acceleration and aggressive driving, maintaining consistent diameter and contact patch even under extreme forces that would cause ordinary tyres to balloon out of shape and lose handling precision.
• Sport Compound Rubber — Louise RC's proprietary medium-soft rubber compound is specifically developed for powerful 1/8 scale RC trucks, delivering exceptional wear resistance, outstanding road-handling and steering precision, excellent grip across different surfaces, and compatibility with today's high-power RC engines and batteries.
• Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued — These tyres arrive fully glued to the wheels using Louise RC's specially developed rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive, with each tyre passing rigorous spinning and pulling tests to ensure the bond will withstand extreme forces from acceleration, cornering and high jumps—simply install and drive.
• High-Quality Nylon Composite Wheels — The wheels are manufactured from Dupont-developed high-quality nylon granulates charged with fibre, specifically engineered to provide the proper flexibility and strength to withstand the extreme cornering loads and impact forces that 1/8 scale monster trucks experience during aggressive driving and jumping.
• Precision Foam Inserts — Your tyres include specially selected cut-size foam inserts of specific density, designed to provide perfect dampening characteristics and form stability, ensuring your tyres maintain their shape and contact patch throughout extended running sessions.
• Optimised Gluing Process — Louise RC employs a multi-step professional gluing procedure including ring grinding, degreasing, special adhesive application via precision dosing machine, and pressure curing, resulting in a bond strong enough to survive the extreme forces of 1/8 monster truck driving.
• 17mm Hex Fitment — These tyres feature a 17mm hex connector, making them compatible with most 1/8 monster trucks on the market, including popular platforms like Traxxas E-Revo and E-Maxx, Arrma Kraton and Outcast, HPI Savage, and numerous others.
• Front and Rear Compatible — This tyre set can be used on both front and rear axles of your 1/8 scale monster truck, providing flexibility in how you configure your vehicle's handling and traction characteristics.
• 0-Offset Design — The zero offset maintains your truck's standard width, though you may need to verify fitment with your specific chassis, body and suspension setup using Louise RC's tyre-wheel compatibility chart.

Technical Performance

The Louise RC MT-Cyclone represents a masterclass in 1/8 scale tyre engineering, combining advanced materials science with precision manufacturing to deliver performance that will transform your monster truck's capabilities. The tyres measure 166mm in diameter and 108mm in width (though actual mounted dimensions are 169.4mm diameter and 105.5mm width), with each wheel and tyre assembly weighing 472 grams. The MFT Micro Fibre Technology embedded throughout the rubber tread is the key to understanding why these tyres perform so dramatically better than standard alternatives: during acceleration, cornering and jumping—the three moments when ordinary tyres balloon and lose contact with the ground—the textile belt maintains structural integrity and consistent diameter, resulting in increased stability, significantly more road contact, and extended tyre life. The medium-soft Sport compound provides an ideal balance for 1/8 scale trucks, offering superior durability through countless drive sessions whilst maintaining the grip characteristics necessary for precision steering input and responsive handling. Louise RC notes that the MFT technology results in tyres that are slightly heavier and larger in overall size than non-belted alternatives, which may necessitate gear ratio adjustments and could potentially overload standard servo units—upgrades to a higher-torque servo are recommended to handle the increased grip these tyres provide. The wheels themselves are constructed from nylon composite materials specifically formulated by Dupont for Louise RC, engineered to flex appropriately under load whilst maintaining structural strength to resist tearing and deformation. The foam inserts have been carefully selected for density and size to guarantee optimal dampening and form stability, ensuring your tyres perform consistently throughout their lifespan whether you're bashing on grass, driving on dirt, racing on carpet or tackling concrete courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these Louise RC MT-Cyclone tyres fit my Traxxas E-Revo or E-Maxx? — Yes, these tyres feature a 17mm hex connection and are specifically listed as compatible with both the Traxxas E-Revo and E-Maxx. However, Louise RC recommends checking their tyre-wheel compatibility chart for your specific model year and configuration to confirm fitment, as body, suspension and setup variations may affect tyre clearance.
• What's the difference between the 0-offset and 1/2 offset versions? — The 0-offset version (this product) maintains your truck's standard width, whilst the 1/2 offset version increases overall vehicle width by approximately 25mm. The 1/2 offset is recommended if you're experiencing tyre-to-chassis contact, though you should verify fitment for your specific setup.
• Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No, these tyres arrive completely pre-glued to the wheels using Louise RC's specially developed rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive. Each tyre passes rigorous spinning and pulling tests before leaving the factory to ensure the bond will withstand extreme forces, so they're ready to bolt onto your truck immediately upon receipt.
• What does MFT Micro Fibre Technology do? — MFT stands for Micro Fiber Technology and refers to a textile belt embedded throughout the rubber tread. This belt prevents the tyre from deforming and ballooning during high-speed acceleration and aggressive driving, maintaining consistent diameter and ground contact even under extreme forces that would cause ordinary tyres to lose their shape and handling precision.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Louise RC describes the MT-Cyclone Sport compound as designed for the RC hobby driver and basher rather than competition racers, making them well-suited to recreational and weekend-basher use. However, the advanced engineering and pre-mounted setup mean beginners will benefit significantly from the performance improvements, though they may need to upgrade to a higher-torque servo to handle the increased grip these tyres provide.
• Will these tyres require servo and gear ratio upgrades? — Louise RC specifically recommends checking and potentially adjusting your gear ratio when using these tyres, as the MFT technology results in tyres that are heavier and slightly larger than non-belted alternatives. Additionally, the superior grip provided by these tyres may overload a standard servo, so upgrading to a higher-torque unit is recommended to ensure your steering system can handle the demands.
• What surfaces do these tyres perform best on? — The Sport compound is engineered to provide excellent grip on different types of surfaces, delivering outstanding road-handling and steering precision on grass, dirt, carpet, concrete and mixed terrain. The medium-soft compound specifically formulated for 1/8 scale models provides the ideal balance between grip and durability for recreational bashing and weekend driving.
• How long will these tyres last? — Louise RC's Sport compound is particularly wear-resistant, and the MFT technology extends tyre life compared to ordinary non-belted alternatives by maintaining consistent contact patch and shape throughout extended running sessions. The actual lifespan depends on your driving style, terrain and maintenance, but these are engineered for durability and longevity.
