LOUISE RC X-MALLET BLACK XMAXX MOUNTED 24mm HEX L-T3350B

Overview

The Louise RC X-Mallet Black mounted tyre set represents premium-quality replacements for your Traxxas X-Maxx 8S monster truck. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher, or an enthusiast looking for the best performance from your RC car in the UK, these tyres deliver exceptional grip, durability, and handling characteristics that serious RC drivers demand. Louise RC has built a reputation for excellence in the RC hobby, and this X-Mallet compound demonstrates why they are recognised as one of the industry's leading tyre manufacturers.

These are not generic tyres — they are engineered specifically for extreme conditions, high-speed runs, powerful accelerations, and the kind of aggressive driving that characterises modern RC monster trucks. The X-Maxx is a serious piece of engineering, and it deserves tyres that can match its performance capabilities. Louise RC understands this, which is why every X-Mallet tyre is manufactured to exacting standards, with precision mounting and rigorous quality control at every stage of production.

Available as a complete mounted set with both tyres pre-glued onto high-quality black nylon composite rims, the X-Mallet Black eliminates the hassle of assembly whilst guaranteeing the same expert mounting you would expect from Louise RC's factory. Simply fit them to your X-Maxx, adjust your servo if needed to handle the increased grip, and experience the difference that professional-grade tyres make to your RC driving experience.

Key Features

• MFT Micro Fibre Technology — This innovative textile belt is woven into the rubber tread of the tyre to prevent ballooning and deformation during high-speed acceleration and extreme driving conditions, maintaining tyre shape and diameter consistency even under the most demanding loads, which dramatically improves stability, increases road contact, and extends tyre life compared to standard tyres without this technology.
• Sport Compound Rubber — Louise RC has developed a specialised medium-soft sport rubber compound specifically for powerful 1/8 scale RC models like your X-Maxx, delivering exceptional wear resistance, outstanding road handling and steering precision, excellent grip across different surfaces, and reliable performance under the high-power ratings of modern brushless RC cars.
• Professional Factory Mounting — Each tyre is mounted and permanently glued to the wheel using Louise RC's proprietary rubber cyanoacrylate adhesive system, with surfaces carefully ground and degreased before a precision dosing machine applies the exact right amount of glue, followed by a pressing process and mandatory spinning and pulling tests to ensure perfect bonding that will withstand extreme cornering forces and high-impact jumps.
• Premium Nylon Composite Wheels — The rims are manufactured from high-quality nylon granulates charged with fibre reinforcement and developed exclusively by DuPont for Louise RC, providing the perfect balance of flexibility and strength to absorb and withstand the extreme forces generated during driving, cornering, and high jumps without cracking or delaminating.
• Precision Foam Inserts — The tyres are equipped with cut-to-size foam inserts selected for specific density and size, providing perfect dampening and form stability that works in harmony with the MFT technology to maintain consistent performance and tyre geometry throughout your driving session.
• 24mm Hex Fitment — The industry-standard 24mm hex adapter ensures perfect compatibility with your Traxxas X-Maxx 8S and other RC vehicles using this fitment, with a reliable mechanical interface that will not slip or strip during aggressive driving.
• Front and Rear Mounting — This versatile tyre set is designed to work equally well on both the front and rear axles of your X-Maxx, simplifying your spare parts inventory and giving you the flexibility to rotate or replace any worn tyre without compatibility concerns.

Technical Performance

Louise RC has engineered the X-Mallet Black tyre set to deliver measurable performance improvements across every dimension of your RC monster truck experience. The 213mm tyre diameter combined with 98mm width creates a contact patch that maximises grip without sacrificing acceleration, whilst the MFT Micro Fibre Technology works at a molecular level to prevent the destructive ballooning effect that compromises steering response and suspension geometry in standard tyres. The medium-soft sport compound is specifically formulated for the 1/5 scale 8S category, meaning it delivers optimal performance across the full range of operating conditions from cold start-up through extended high-speed runs. At 780 grams per complete wheel and tyre assembly, the weight is optimised for your X-Maxx's geometry and power delivery. The 0 offset rim design integrates seamlessly with your truck's suspension and steering geometry. Louise RC's manufacturing process is notable for its consistency and quality: the rubber tyre surfaces and wheel rims are ground and degreased to remove any contaminants before precision adhesive application, ensuring a bond that will not separate even under the extreme lateral loads of cornering manoeuvres or the vertical impacts of jumping. Each tyre passes mandatory quality control tests including high-speed spinning and mechanical pulling to verify the integrity of the bond before leaving the factory. This level of manufacturing rigour is why serious RC enthusiasts throughout the UK specify Louise RC tyres for their competition and high-performance builds.

Important Information Before You Buy

Louise RC recommends checking your gear ratio after fitting these tyres, as the MFT technology typically results in a slightly heavier and larger overall tyre size compared to standard tyres without this technology. Additionally, the sport compound provides significantly more grip than standard tyres, which may stress a stock-specification steering servo. We recommend upgrading to a higher-torque servo to fully unlock the performance potential of these X-Mallet tyres and prevent servo strain during aggressive cornering or high-speed runs. This is a small investment that will dramatically improve your driving experience and protect your RC car's electronics from being overloaded by the increased grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for competition racing or just recreational bashing? — The Louise RC X-Mallet Sport compound is engineered for both applications. The medium-soft sport compound delivers the wear resistance and consistent grip that competition drivers value, whilst the premium construction ensures durability during aggressive recreational bashing. You can use these tyres confidently in either environment, knowing they are built to professional standards.
• What is MFT technology and why should I care about it? — MFT stands for Micro Fibre Technology, which means a textile belt is woven directly into the rubber tread of the tyre. This prevents the tyre from ballooning and deforming during high-speed acceleration and extreme driving conditions. Standard tyres without MFT technology change diameter and shape under load, which ruins your handling response and suspension geometry. X-Mallet tyres with MFT maintain their shape throughout your driving session, providing better stability, more road contact, and significantly extended tyre life.
• Will these tyres fit my Traxxas X-Maxx? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed for the Traxxas X-Maxx 8S and are compatible with all colour variants of the X-Maxx Belted 4WD model, as well as the X-Maxx Ultimate variant. They mount using the industry-standard 24mm hex fitment, which is the correct interface for this truck. Simply remove your old tyres and install these pre-mounted and pre-glued wheels.
• Do I need to do anything to these tyres before using them? — No, the X-Mallet Black tyres arrive pre-mounted and pre-glued on rims with foam inserts already installed. You can fit them directly to your X-Maxx and begin driving. However, we strongly recommend upgrading your steering servo if you are currently using a stock-specification unit, as the increased grip will demand more torque from your servo. Additionally, check your gear ratio to ensure optimal acceleration and top speed performance with these slightly larger and heavier tyres.
• What is the difference between these X-Mallet tyres and other Louise RC compounds? — Louise RC manufactures several different tyre compounds for different purposes. The X-Mallet Sport compound is specifically developed for RC bashers and recreational drivers who demand excellent grip, outstanding handling, and wear resistance for high-powered 1/8 scale trucks like the X-Maxx. Competition tyres and other compounds are designed with different priorities and characteristics. The X-Mallet Sport is Louise RC's recommendation for drivers with powerful, modern RC vehicles who want genuine quality without compromise.
• How long will these tyres last? — The wear resistance of the sport compound and the precision mounting ensure excellent tyre life compared to budget alternatives. Life expectancy depends entirely on your driving style, terrain, and track surface. However, the MFT technology maintains tyre shape and geometry better than standard tyres, which reduces wear from ballooning and deformation. Louise RC tyres are renowned throughout the RC hobby for their durability and value for money.
• What surfaces do these tyres work best on? — The Louise RC X-Mallet Sport compound is formulated to deliver excellent grip across different surface types, including asphalt, concrete, dirt, grass, and tarmac. This versatility makes them ideal for RC drivers who bash in varied environments throughout the UK rather than being limited to a single dedicated track surface.
