LOUISE RC B-PADDLE 1/5 REAR SPORT HEX 24MM BLACK BEADLOCK L-T3280B

Overview

The Louise RC B-Paddle 1/5 Rear Sport Hex 24mm Black Beadlock tyres represent the pinnacle of large-scale RC tyre engineering, designed specifically for serious 1/5 scale buggy enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a weekend basher tackling rough terrain or an experienced RC car competitor pushing your vehicle to its limits, these professional-grade tyres deliver the performance, durability and reliability you demand. Louise RC has spent years perfecting the art of tyre manufacturing for high-performance RC cars, and this Sport compound offering showcases that expertise in a package ready to transform your 1/5 scale buggy's handling and grip characteristics.

These aren't generic budget tyres — they're engineered specifically for the extreme forces generated during high-speed cornering, aggressive acceleration and massive jumps that define the 1/5 scale RC experience. The B-Paddle tread pattern is optimised for sport-level driving across multiple surface types, whilst the mounting and bonding processes employed by Louise RC ensure your tyres stay firmly attached to the wheels through the most punishing driving conditions. If you're serious about getting the best performance from your HPI Baja 5B, Carson Wild GP Attack, Rovan Baja or compatible 1/5 buggy, investing in genuine Louise RC tyres makes a measurable difference to handling precision, acceleration response and overall driving experience.

Available as a rear pair mounted on genuine Louise RC black beadlock wheels with 24mm hex adapters, these tyres arrive ready to bolt directly onto your vehicle. The complete package includes professional-grade foam inserts pre-selected for optimal dampening characteristics, saving you the time and uncertainty of selecting incorrect insert densities that could compromise your vehicle's handling balance.

Key Features

• Sport Medium-Soft Compound — The specialised rubber blend is engineered for outstanding wear resistance combined with responsive steering precision, ensuring your tyres maintain consistent grip across varied surfaces and driving styles whilst lasting significantly longer than budget alternatives.
• Dupont® Nylon Composite Wheels — The wheel rims are manufactured from high-quality nylon granulates specially developed by Dupont® for Louise RC, providing the perfect balance of flexibility and structural strength needed to absorb impacts from high jumps and aggressive cornering without cracking or deforming.
• Professionally Glued and Bonded — Each tyre is bonded to the wheel using a specialist rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically formulated for Louise RC, applied by precision dosing machines to ensure absolutely equal adhesive distribution, followed by controlled pressing cycles and individual spinning and pulling tests on every single tyre to guarantee perfect permanent bonding.
• Preformed Molded Foam Inserts — The tyres arrive pre-mounted with carefully selected density molded foam inserts that provide ideal dampening and form stability, eliminating the guesswork and potential errors involved in hand-cutting foam to size.
• Black Beadlock Wheel Design — The integrated beadlock ring system provides additional security around the tyre bead, preventing tyre slip under extreme cornering loads and high-speed acceleration — critical for maintaining consistent handling in competitive and recreational driving.
• 24mm Hex Adapter — These rear tyres feature the standard 24mm hex adapter fitting, ensuring compatibility with all modern 1/5 scale buggies including HPI Baja 5B series, Carson Wild GP Attack, Rovan Baja and numerous other leading platforms available to UK RC enthusiasts.
• 188mm Tyre Diameter — The generous 188mm diameter combined with 81mm width provides substantial ground contact area for improved traction and stability whilst maintaining ideal ride height geometry on most 1/5 scale buggy platforms.
• Zero Offset Rim Design — The 0mm offset geometry places the tyre in the optimal position relative to the suspension geometry, ensuring predictable handling characteristics and balanced weight distribution across the vehicle.
• Rear Fitment Ready — These are specifically configured for rear axle installation, ensuring the tread pattern and sidewall construction deliver optimal performance characteristics for the rear end of your 1/5 buggy.

Technical Performance

Louise RC has established an industry-recognised reputation for producing high-performance competition and recreational RC tyres, and these B-Paddle Sport compounds exemplify that commitment to engineering excellence. The Sport Medium-Soft compound represents the perfect middle ground for 1/5 scale drivers — harder than pure soft compounds to deliver impressive wear resistance even under the brutal cornering and acceleration forces generated by powerful 1/5 engines, yet softer than hard competition compounds to maintain exceptional grip across the varied surfaces that UK RC enthusiasts encounter, from tarmac and concrete to dirt and sand. The compound formulation provides outstanding road-handling characteristics and steering precision, translating directly into faster lap times and more predictable vehicle behaviour whether you're pushing hard in competitive settings or enjoying recreational weekend bashing. The 518-gram weight per tyre pair represents a carefully balanced specification that maintains optimal vehicle dynamics without introducing excessive unsprung mass that would compromise suspension performance. The manufacturing process employed by Louise RC is genuinely meticulous — each tyre undergoes surface grinding and degreasing before bonding, the wheel rim receives identical preparation work, the adhesive is applied in precisely measured quantities via dosing machines to guarantee consistency, then the bonded assembly is pressed under controlled conditions for guaranteed curing, followed by individual spinning tests and pulling tests on every single tyre to verify the bond strength before release. This isn't mass-production tyre mounting — it's professional-grade assembly that explains why Louise RC tyres maintain their reputation amongst serious RC competitors and enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these Louise RC B-Paddle tyres fit my 1/5 scale RC buggy? — These rear tyres feature 24mm hex adapters and are specifically designed for all 1/5 scale models with 24mm wheel hex fittings. Confirmed compatible platforms include HPI Baja 5B series, Carson Wild GP Attack and Rovan Baja, but Louise RC recommends checking their comprehensive tyre-wheel compatibility chart to verify fitment with your specific vehicle model, as some 1/5 scale buggies use alternative hub systems.
• What makes Louise RC tyres better than cheaper alternatives? — Louise RC invests in proprietary Dupont® composite materials specifically developed for their wheels, utilising specially formulated Sport compound rubber with proven durability benefits, and employs a multi-stage bonding process with precision dosing machines and individual quality testing on every tyre. Budget tyres typically skip these quality steps, resulting in inferior grip, faster wear, potential tyre slip, and potential delamination during aggressive driving — false economy that costs money in replacement tyres and performance loss.
• Are these tyres already mounted and glued? — Yes, these tyres arrive fully mounted and bonded to the wheels with professional cyanoacrylate adhesive, with preformed molded foam inserts already installed. You simply attach them to your vehicle's 24mm hex hubs and drive — no additional assembly, preparation or insert selection required.
• What surface types do B-Paddle Sport tyres perform best on? — The Sport compound provides excellent grip on different surface types including tarmac, concrete, dirt, sand and mixed terrain. The B-Paddle tread pattern is optimised for sport-level driving across multiple surfaces rather than being specialised for a single discipline, making these excellent all-round tyres for recreational bashers and drivers who encounter varied terrain at different locations.
• How long do Louise RC tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on driving style, surface type and maintenance. The Sport Medium-Soft compound is specifically formulated for outstanding wear resistance compared to softer compounds, so you should expect longer service life than budget alternatives. Aggressive racing and jumping will wear tyres faster than casual bashing on dirt — regular inspection for visible wear patterns and tread degradation is recommended to maintain optimal handling performance.
• Can I use these with foam inserts from other manufacturers? — The tyres arrive with preformed molded foam inserts at the correct density for Sport compound handling characteristics. Whilst you can technically substitute alternative foam inserts, this may compromise dampening performance and handling balance. Using the pre-installed inserts is recommended unless you have specific reasons to modify them based on track conditions or driving style.
• What is the difference between these Sport tyres and Louise RC's competition tyres? — Louise RC produces different compounds for different driving styles — Sport compounds like these are engineered for the hobby driver and recreational basher who values all-round performance across multiple surface types and driving conditions. Competition compounds are harder and specialised for specific racing formats on predetermined track surfaces. Sport compounds typically offer better grip and more forgiving handling characteristics in varied conditions, making them ideal for UK enthusiasts who race at different venues and encounter changing surface conditions.
• Are these rear tyres only, or do they come in front fitments? — These B-Paddle tyres are specifically configured for rear axle installation. Louise RC manufactures separate front and rear variants with different tread patterns and sidewall characteristics optimised for each axle position. If you need front tyres, you'll want to order the Louise RC B-Paddle Sport front tyre set separately to maintain balanced handling across the entire vehicle.
