Louise RC has built a reputation as one of the finest tyre manufacturers in the RC hobby industry, and the X-CHAMP range exemplifies their commitment to quality, durability and innovation. These tyres are designed to withstand the extreme forces generated during powerful acceleration, high-speed cornering and dramatic jumps that characterise modern brushless RC monster truck driving. The combination of advanced materials, precision engineering and Louise RC's meticulous manufacturing processes ensures that each tyre-wheel assembly meets the exacting standards demanded by serious RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond.
If you're looking for ready-to-run tyres that eliminate the guesswork of separate component selection, the X-CHAMP mounted wheel and tyre set provides immediate usability with professional-grade performance. These are not budget alternatives—they represent Louise RC's sport-level compound technology backed by decades of RC tyre development experience.
Key Features
- Micro Fiber Technology (MFT) — The X-CHAMP incorporates Louise RC's innovative MFT system, which integrates a textile belt directly into the rubber tread of the tyre. This engineering breakthrough prevents the dangerous ballooning effect that occurs in standard tyres during high-speed acceleration and cornering, where the tyre diameter expands and distorts the contact patch, reducing grip and stability. With MFT, you maintain a rigid, consistent tyre structure that preserves the original diameter and shape, delivering more stable handling, increased road contact, longer tyre life and improved performance across all driving conditions.
- Sport Compound Formula — Louise RC developed the sport rubber compound specifically for high-powered RC vehicles and bashers rather than competition racers. This medium-soft compound density is optimised for 1/5 scale vehicles like the X-Maxx, delivering exceptional wear resistance that extends tyre life between replacements, outstanding road-handling characteristics with precise steering response, and excellent grip on varied surface types from grass to clay to concrete.
- Professional Mounting and Gluing — Each tyre arrives pre-mounted and permanently glued to the wheel using Louise RC's proprietary rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically formulated for these applications. The manufacturing process involves grinding and degreasing both the tyre rings and wheel surface, precision application of adhesive via a computer-controlled dosing machine ensuring consistent glue distribution, pressing under specific pressure and duration, and finally subjecting every assembled tyre to spinning and pulling tests to guarantee perfect bonding that withstands extreme forces.
- Premium Wheel Construction — The black nylon composite wheels are engineered from high-quality nylon granulates charged with fibre and developed specifically by Dupont for Louise RC, ensuring the perfect balance of flexibility and strength to absorb the extreme loads of modern RC bashers. The wheels feature a 24mm X-Maxx hex fitment with zero offset, and are designed as glued-type rims rather than beadlock systems, ensuring the tyres remain perfectly bonded during the most aggressive driving.
- Precision Foam Inserts — The tyres arrive with cut-to-size foam inserts selected for specific density and sizing to guarantee perfect dampening and form stability. These inserts work in concert with the tyre sidewalls to maintain shape under load and absorb impacts, contributing to the overall suspension feel and off-road capability of your X-Maxx.
- X-Maxx Specific Design — These tyres are purpose-engineered for Traxxas X-Maxx 6S and 8S models, as well as other trucks equipped with 24mm hexes, ensuring perfect fitment, optimal weight distribution and maximum performance potential with your platform. The 213mm diameter and 98mm width are precisely specified for X-Maxx compatibility.
Technical Performance
The Louise RC X-CHAMP tyres deliver exceptional technical performance across all dimensions. With a tyre diameter of 213mm and width of 98mm, the tyres provide substantial ground contact and floatation characteristics ideal for the heavy 1/5 scale X-Maxx platform. The combined tyre and wheel assembly weighs 780g per unit, contributing to the momentum and inertia characteristics of your vehicle. The MFT technology's textile belt reinforcement prevents the typical deformation that occurs when standard tyres expand during acceleration, maintaining consistent rolling diameter and optimal gear mesh conditions—a critical consideration for brushless systems delivering extreme torque. The sport-level rubber compound is engineered to resist the abrasive wear caused by high-powered 8S LiPo driving whilst maintaining grip across diverse surfaces, making these tyres ideal for UK bashers who drive on everything from grass fields to rocky paths. Louise RC's manufacturing precision ensures that the cyanoacrylate bonding creates a permanent union between tyre and wheel that withstands not only the initial impact forces but the sustained punishment of aggressive driving, high jumps and powerful cornering. The medium-soft compound density provides the optimum balance for 1/5 scale vehicles, as heavier and more powerful models benefit from slightly stiffer rubber compared to lighter 1/10 scale vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the Louise RC X-CHAMP tyres fit my Traxxas X-Maxx? — Yes, these tyres are engineered specifically for the Traxxas X-Maxx 6S and 8S models, featuring the correct 24mm hex fitment and zero offset. They will also fit other RC trucks equipped with 24mm hexes, though X-Maxx models represent the primary fitment design.
- What is Micro Fiber Technology and how does it improve performance? — Micro Fiber Technology integrates a textile belt into the tyre's rubber tread to prevent ballooning—the dangerous expansion of tyre diameter that occurs during high-speed acceleration and cornering. Without MFT, standard tyres distort and lose contact patch consistency, reducing grip and stability. MFT maintains a rigid, consistent tyre structure, delivering more stable handling, increased road contact, longer tyre life and improved overall performance. The trade-off is that MFT tyres are slightly heavier and larger in overall size, which may require gear ratio adjustment and a more powerful steering servo due to increased grip.
- Are these tyres suitable for both casual bashers and serious drivers? — The X-CHAMP sport compound is specifically engineered for RC hobby drivers and bashers rather than competition racers. The medium-soft compound density provides excellent wear resistance, outstanding road handling and precision steering response, making these tyres ideal for weekend warriors, casual drivers and serious bashers who prioritise durability and all-round performance over pure track competitiveness.
- Do I need to do any preparation before using these tyres? — No—these tyres arrive pre-mounted and factory-glued, ready for immediate installation on your X-Maxx. However, Louise RC recommends checking your gear ratio after installation due to the slightly larger overall size of MFT tyres compared to standard options, and potentially upgrading your steering servo if your current servo lacks sufficient torque to handle the increased grip these tyres provide.
- What surfaces are these tyres suited to? — The X-CHAMP is described as a good all-round tyre for rougher surfaces including grass and clay. The sport compound and tread design provide excellent grip across diverse terrain types, making these versatile all-terrain tyres rather than specialised track-specific rubber.
- How are Louise RC tyres glued to the wheels? — Louise RC employs a meticulous multi-step process: both the tyre rings and wheel surface are ground and degreased to ensure optimal adhesion, the rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive is applied via computer-controlled dosing machines for consistent glue distribution, the assembled tyre is pressed under specific pressure and duration to cure properly, and finally every tyre passes spinning and pulling tests to verify perfect bonding. This process is considered industry-leading and ensures the tyres remain permanently bonded even under extreme forces.
- What is the weight of these wheels and tyres? — The complete assembled wheel and tyre unit weighs 780g, contributing to the overall weight distribution and momentum characteristics of your X-Maxx.
- Can I use these tyres on other vehicles? — These tyres feature a 24mm hex fitment, so they will fit any RC truck equipped with 24mm hexes. However, they are purpose-engineered for the Traxxas X-Maxx platform and represent an optimal match for 1/5 scale vehicles with the power and weight characteristics of the X-Maxx.
