Overview

The LOUISE RC MT-UPHILL 1/8 SPORT 1/2 OFFSET BLACK EP E-REVO FR L-T3219BH is a premium tyre and wheel set designed specifically for 1/8 scale monster truck enthusiasts in the UK. These high-quality replacement tyres are engineered to deliver exceptional grip and durability on a wide variety of terrains, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to upgrade their RC car UK setup. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a weekend basher, this tyre set offers the performance characteristics needed to maximise your off-road RC experience.

Built by Louise RC, a recognised manufacturer of quality rubber compounds and wheel solutions for the RC hobby, these MT-UPHILL tyres are specifically compatible with the Traxxas EP E-Revo and other 1/8 monster truck platforms.

The 1/2 inch wheel offset is a crucial specification that affects your RC vehicle's handling characteristics and appearance, widening the track for improved stability during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering. These tyres come pre-glued to the wheels and include the necessary foam inserts, meaning you can simply bolt them onto your E-Revo or compatible monster truck and get straight to the action without additional assembly. RC Model Shop stocks this product as part of our comprehensive range of replacement parts and upgrades for brushless RC vehicles and electric monster trucks.

Key Features

• Sport Compound Rubber — The Sport-grade compound provides an optimal balance between grip and tyre wear, allowing you to enjoy consistent performance across multiple terrain types without needing to swap tyres between track sessions, making these excellent value for recreational and casual competitive use.
• 1/2 Inch Wheel Offset — This offset geometry widens the overall track of your monster truck, improving cornering stability, reducing body roll during aggressive turns, and giving your RC vehicle a more menacing stance that matches modern monster truck aesthetics.
• Pre-Glued Assembly — The tyres arrive already securely bonded to the wheels, eliminating the need for messy tyre glue, specialist equipment, or technical knowledge to install them, allowing you to spend more time driving and less time in the workshop.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre set comes with shock-absorbing foam inserts pre-fitted, providing the proper sidewall support and responsiveness needed for comfortable handling and protection of your RC vehicle's suspension components during impacts and jumps.
• 17mm Hex Fitment — The standard 17mm hexagonal drive fitting is universally compatible with the Traxxas E-Revo and Summit, as well as the Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3, making these tyres a straightforward bolt-on upgrade for owners of these popular models.
• Generous Tread Pattern — The 170.3mm diameter and 107.8mm width provide a large contact patch with pronounced tread blocks designed to bite into loose surfaces, providing superior traction in mud, sand, grass and rocky terrain common to UK RC bashing locations.

Technical Performance

The LOUISE RC MT-UPHILL Sport compound represents a thoughtfully engineered balance between performance and practicality for 1/8 scale electric RC monster trucks. With a tyre diameter of 170.3mm and width of 107.8mm, these are substantial rubber compounds that provide excellent ground clearance and aggressive off-road capability. The Sport compound formulation is softer than harder racing compounds, ensuring predictable grip in a variety of conditions whilst resisting rapid wear during extended bashing sessions. The 1/2 inch offset (approximately 12.7mm per side) widens the track significantly, improving cornering stability and giving your E-Revo or compatible monster truck improved weight distribution during aggressive manoeuvres. The pre-glued construction uses proven bonding techniques that ensure the tyre remains permanently attached to the wheel rim, whilst the included foam inserts provide consistent sidewall flex characteristics that protect your suspension from hard impacts. These tyres are engineered to work seamlessly with the suspension geometry and drivetrain of the Traxxas EP E-Revo and EP Summit, as well as the petrol-powered T-Maxx 3.3, though they are specifically marketed for electric-powered platforms. The overall build quality reflects Louise RC's commitment to delivering value-for-money replacement parts that don't compromise on performance, making these tyres suitable for both casual weekend bashers and more serious RC enthusiasts who want reliability without premium pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for my Traxxas E-Revo? — Yes, these Louise RC MT-UPHILL tyres are specifically designed for 1/8 scale Traxxas monster trucks including the EP E-Revo and EP Summit. They feature the standard 17mm hex fitment and 1/2 inch wheel offset that matches these models perfectly. The tyres simply bolt straight onto your vehicle without any modification required.
• What does 1/2 inch wheel offset actually mean? — The wheel offset refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the centreline of the tyre. A 1/2 inch offset moves the wheels further outboard on your RC vehicle, widening the track and improving stability, particularly during high-speed turns and aggressive cornering. This offset also gives your monster truck a wider, more aggressive appearance.
• Can I use these tyres on other monster truck models? — The Louise RC MT-UPHILL tyres feature a 17mm hex fitting, which is standard on many 1/8 scale monster trucks. Beyond the E-Revo and Summit, they are also compatible with the GP T-Maxx 3.3 FR variant. However, wheel offset may differ on other brands and models, so it's worth checking your vehicle's specifications before purchasing if you're unsure.
• What's the difference between Sport and other tyre compounds? — Louise RC produces MT-UPHILL tyres in different compounds, with Sport being the middle ground. Sport compound tyres offer better grip than harder touring compounds but last longer than softer racing compounds. This makes them ideal for mixed-terrain bashing where you want consistent performance across grass, dirt, mud and gravel without needing multiple tyre sets.
• Are these tyres already glued? — Yes, the tyres come pre-glued to the wheels, meaning they arrive as a complete, ready-to-use assembly. There's no need to apply tyre glue yourself or wait for adhesive to cure. You can unbox them and bolt them directly onto your E-Revo or compatible monster truck.
• Do the foam inserts come with the tyres? — Yes, foam inserts are pre-installed inside each tyre. These inserts provide essential sidewall support, improve handling feel, and protect your RC vehicle's suspension components from damage during jumps and hard landings. No additional purchases are needed.
• What terrain are these tyres best suited for? — The MT-UPHILL Sport compound and tread pattern are engineered for off-road use across a wide variety of surfaces. They excel on gravel, dirt tracks, grass fields, mud and mixed terrain. The aggressive tread design provides excellent grip in loose conditions whilst the Sport compound maintains performance across multiple sessions without excessive wear.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres? — This depends on usage frequency and driving style. The Sport compound is designed to offer good longevity compared to softer racing compounds, making them suitable for extended weekend bashing sessions without requiring constant replacement. Aggressive driving on abrasive surfaces will wear them faster than casual recreational driving.
