Louise RC has established itself as a trusted name in high-quality RC tyres and wheels, and the MT-Cyclone Sport series showcases their commitment to performance engineering. The Sport compound is specifically formulated to provide excellent traction across a variety of terrain conditions, making these tyres ideal for weekend bashing, competitive racing, or general recreational driving.

Coming pre-glued and ready to bolt onto your E-Revo or compatible 1/8 monster truck, these Louise RC MT-Cyclone tyres eliminate the time-consuming process of manually gluing your own rubber. This ready-to-run convenience means you can get back on the track or trail faster, whilst still benefiting from professional-quality construction and materials. The combination of the Sport compound rubber and the carefully engineered wheel design makes this an excellent upgrade for anyone serious about their RC monster truck performance.
Key Features
- Pre-Glued and Ready to Fit — These tyres come completely glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for separate mounting and adhesive steps. This saves you considerable time and hassle, allowing you to install them directly onto your RC monster truck and begin driving immediately without waiting for glue to cure.
- Louise RC Sport Compound — The Sport compound rubber is specifically formulated to deliver consistent grip and traction across multiple terrain types. This softer compound provides superior bite on soil, grass and loose surfaces whilst maintaining enough durability for extended driving sessions and competitive use.
- 1/8 Scale Monster Truck Compatibility — These tyres are engineered specifically for 1/8 scale monster trucks, with perfect fitment for the Traxxas E-Revo, E-Revo Summit and compatible platforms. The hex fitment ensures secure attachment to your existing suspension components.
- 1/2 Inch Offset Design — The half-inch offset wheel hub positions the tyre at an optimal distance from the suspension arm, improving handling dynamics and weight distribution. This offset geometry enhances cornering stability and reduces undesirable tyre roll during aggressive driving.
- Black Hub Wheels — The premium black finished wheel hubs provide a professional appearance whilst maintaining structural integrity. The chosen finish offers corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor driving conditions typical of UK RC environments.
- Generous Tyre Dimensions — With a width of 107.8mm and diameter of 170.9mm, these tyres provide excellent ground clearance and rolling resistance characteristics. The substantial size contributes to improved obstacle clearance and better performance over uneven terrain.
- Includes Foam Inserts — The pre-glued package includes the necessary foam inserts, which provide essential suspension compliance and absorb impacts from rough terrain. Quality foam inserts are critical for delivering a smooth ride and protecting your suspension components from shock loading.
Technical Performance
The Louise RC MT-Cyclone Sport tyre and wheel combination represents professional-grade engineering applied to 1/8 scale monster truck performance. The Sport compound rubber offers an optimal balance between grip and longevity, providing the traction necessary for competitive driving whilst maintaining reasonable tyre lifespan through multiple bashing sessions. The 107.8mm tyre width ensures broad contact patch with the ground, distributing the vehicle's weight effectively and reducing pressure spikes that could damage the foam inserts or suspension components. The substantial 170.9mm tyre diameter means these wheels sit high on your monster truck chassis, improving approach and departure angles for better obstacle clearance and reducing the likelihood of chassis contact with uneven terrain. The 17mm hex fitment is the standard for most modern 1/8 scale monster trucks, ensuring compatibility with your existing suspension setup without requiring additional adapters or modifications. The inclusion of quality foam inserts within the pre-glued assembly ensures that you benefit from proper suspension compliance immediately upon installation; these inserts are engineered to absorb impact energy and maintain consistent tyre shape during aggressive driving. The 1/2 inch offset wheel position represents the result of careful engineering, positioning the tyre at the ideal distance from the suspension arms to optimise handling characteristics, reduce scrub and improve cornering stability. Whether you're running on the dusty tracks of UK RC racing events or bashing through muddy fields and rocky terrain, the MT-Cyclone Sport compound provides the grip and durability you need for consistent, repeatable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres pre-glued and ready to fit immediately? — Yes, these Louise RC MT-Cyclone tyres arrive completely pre-glued to the wheel hubs and include fitted foam inserts. You can install them directly onto your E-Revo or compatible 1/8 monster truck without any additional preparation. Simply bolt them on using the 17mm hex adaptor on your suspension arms and you're ready to drive.
- What vehicles are these tyres compatible with? — The Louise RC MT-Cyclone Sport 1/2 offset set fits 1/8 scale monster trucks, specifically engineered for the Traxxas E-Revo and E-Revo Summit electric platforms. They also fit compatible 1/8 scale vehicles with standard 17mm hex suspension mounts, including the EP T-Maxx 3.3 FR/RTR. Always verify your specific vehicle has a 17mm hex suspension before purchasing.
- What does the 1/2 inch offset mean? — The offset refers to the distance between the wheel hub mounting point and the tyre's centreline. A 1/2 inch offset positions the tyre slightly outboard from the suspension arm, improving the geometry of your suspension and enhancing handling characteristics during cornering and aggressive driving. This offset is engineered specifically for 1/8 monster truck dynamics.
- Is the Sport compound suitable for racing and competition? — The Louise RC Sport compound provides an excellent balance between grip and durability, making it suitable for both recreational bashing and competitive racing events. The softer compound delivers superior traction on natural soil and grass surfaces whilst maintaining enough durability for multiple heat races during a competition day. Many UK RC racers choose Sport compounds for conditions where maximum traction is needed without sacrificing tyre lifespan.
- Do I need to buy foam inserts separately? — No, the foam inserts are included within the pre-glued assembly and are already fitted into each tyre. You do not need to purchase inserts separately; the complete package is ready to install on your vehicle immediately upon arrival.
- What is the difference between the MT-Cyclone Sport and other Louise RC tyres? — Louise RC offers several tyre compounds optimised for different conditions and driving styles. The Sport compound is designed for general-purpose use across multiple terrain types, offering balanced grip and durability. Other compounds in the Louise RC range include more specialised options targeting specific conditions. The MT-Cyclone Sport represents the most versatile choice for UK RC enthusiasts who bash across varied terrain.
- Can I reglue these tyres if the glue fails? — Whilst these tyres arrive pre-glued, you may eventually need to reglue them if the bond between rubber and wheel fails after extended use. Louise RC tyres are compatible with most standard tyre glues available from RC retailers. If regluing becomes necessary, ensure you use proper RC tyre adhesive and follow the product instructions carefully for best results.
