Key Features
- Legendary Badlands Tread Pattern — The Badlands tread design is one of the most recognised and proven patterns in RC history. Its aggressive square-lug geometry creates multiple biting edges that dig into loose terrain, generating strong acceleration grip and improved deceleration control. This scaled-for-Mini-Kraton variant maintains the performance profile drivers expect from the Badlands name whilst being optimised for 1/16 scale performance characteristics.
- Pre-Mounted on 12mm Hex Split Six Wheels — These tyres arrive professionally mounted on black Split Six wheels with a 12mm hex fitting, delivering true plug-and-play convenience. There's no gluing required, no mounting variables to worry about, and no risk of improper fitment. Simply bolt them on and hit the dirt. This ready-to-run approach ensures consistent balance, reduces setup time dramatically, and delivers immediate performance gains without the frustration of wheel-and-tyre assembly.
- Aggressive Square-Lug Design — The square-lug geometry is engineered specifically for maximum forward bite on loose surfaces. Each lug acts as an independent gripping edge, working together to cut through grass, dirt, gravel, and light mud. This design philosophy means your Mini Kraton will accelerate with confidence and decelerate with predictable control, giving you the traction authority needed for aggressive driving styles.
- Balanced Compound Formulation — The rubber compound is engineered to deliver strong traction whilst resisting excessive chunking and premature wear. Pro-Line has carefully balanced softness with durability, allowing drivers to bash hard without sacrificing tyre longevity. This means you can push your Mini Kraton to its limits without worrying about rapid tyre degradation, making these tyres excellent value for high-mileage bashers.
- Reinforced Carcass Construction — A strengthened internal structure helps the tyre hold its shape under load and during aggressive cornering. The tyre remains composed through high-speed turns, providing predictable handling characteristics and reducing sidewall rollover. This engineering means better control at speed and more responsive handling feedback, whether you're carving through grass or powering over loose dirt.
- Purpose-Built Platform Fit — Rather than adapting a universal mini tyre, Pro-Line has tailored this Badlands variant specifically for the ARRMA Mini Kraton platform. The fitment, offset, and performance characteristics are optimised to enhance the truck's handling whilst preserving its aggressive stance. This platform-specific approach means better integration with your truck's geometry and suspension, resulting in more predictable handling and better overall performance.
- Open Cell Insert Material — The tyres feature open cell insert material designed to work with the specific suspension and handling characteristics of the Mini Kraton. This material choice provides optimal cushioning and responsiveness whilst maintaining consistent performance across different terrain types.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Badlands Front/Rear Tyres MTD 12mm Black Split Six represent a significant step up in 1/16 scale RC tyre technology. These purpose-built tyres are engineered from the ground up for the ARRMA Mini Kraton platform, delivering performance characteristics that universal mini tyres simply cannot match. The aggressive square-lug tread pattern combined with the balanced rubber compound creates a tyre that excels on grass, loamy dirt, gravel, and light mud—the most common terrain types UK RC bashers encounter. The 12mm hex fitment ensures secure mounting on your Mini Kraton's wheel hubs, whilst the professionally pre-mounted configuration eliminates setup variables that could compromise performance. The reinforced carcass structure provides the sidewall support needed during aggressive cornering, helping the tyre maintain its shape under load and preventing the unpredictable handling that comes with soft, unsupported sidewalls. The open cell insert material works in harmony with your Mini Kraton's suspension geometry, providing responsive feedback and consistent performance across varied terrain. With a focus on durability without sacrificing bite, these tyres strike the balance that serious bashers demand—they'll deliver powerful acceleration grip and reliable deceleration control through multiple sessions before showing signs of significant wear, making them an excellent long-term investment for your 1/16 scale monster truck.

- How durable are the Badlands tyres? — Pro-Line has engineered the compound to balance softness with durability, resisting excessive chunking whilst maintaining traction. Drivers can bash hard without sacrificing tyre longevity. The reinforced carcass also improves durability by helping the tyre hold its shape under load. Most bashers report multiple sessions of aggressive driving before noticeable wear, making these excellent value for high-mileage RC use.
- Are these tyres platform-specific or universal mini tyres? — These are platform-specific, purpose-built tyres designed exclusively for the ARRMA Mini Kraton. Rather than adapting a universal mini tyre, Pro-Line has tailored the fitment, offset, and performance characteristics to enhance the truck's handling whilst preserving its aggressive stance. This specialised approach delivers better integration with your truck's geometry and more predictable performance.
- What's the difference between Badlands and other Pro-Line mini tyres? — The Badlands tread pattern is one of the most recognised and proven designs in RC history. Specifically for the Mini Kraton, this pattern has been scaled to maintain the aggressive bite and deceleration control drivers expect from the Badlands name. The square-lug geometry creates multiple independent gripping edges, offering superior acceleration grip and predictable handling compared to smoother, less aggressive tread patterns.
