Made for the Traxxas X-Maxx 1/8th scale monster truck is Pro-Line’s new Trencher 4.3” Pro-Loc all-terrain tyre. The Trencher 4.3” is wider and taller than the popular Badlands 4.3” for more aggressive looks and performance and it comes in a super soft compound for exceptional grip on loose or hard-packed dirt, sand, snow, grass or gravel. The tyre features Pro-Line’s proprietary Pro-Loc technology that creates an ultra-secure bond to Pro-Line’s Impulse Pro-Loc X-Maxx wheels while still being removable when required. The reinforced tyre bead fits into a uniquely shaped channel on the wheel and the bead-loc screws actually pass through the tire rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring to create the maximum possible mounting security. The tyre comes as part including foam inserts.
