The future of SCX24 tire performance has arrived with Pro-Line’s all-new pre-mounted Hyrax 1.0″ tires.

The Hyrax features an aggressive and open tread pattern with each tread block containing Sipes for additional tread flex. The highly detailed connected tread on the sidewall of the Hyrax extends out for unmatched side-hilling performance. The Hyrax also features futuristic stepped tread blocks that create even more forward gripping edges that dig into slick rock like no other mini tire produced to date. The Hyrax 1.0″ tires are made from a super soft compound to help your SCX24 climb to new heights and the tires are supported with soft foam inserts. The Hyrax 1.0″ tires come in at an overall height of 2.10″ and a width of 0.75″. The Hyrax 1.0″ tire comes conveniently pre-mounted on Mini Impulse Black Internal Bead-Loc 1.0″ plastic 7mm hex wheels.

Pro-Line Badlands tires are known for having a sweet Motocross inspired tread and the all-new Badlands MX57 tires kick that up a notch with a Bigger and Bolder knobby tread that matches modern MX tire design. These tires have been developed from the ground up for extreme punishment with an ultra-durable compound that prevents tire ballooning even at high speeds. The Raid 5.7″ black wheel features a 24mm hex with the standard 1/5 scale through-hole to fit most 1/5 scale vehicles like the Kraton 8S and includes machined aluminium wheel washers to fit onto the popular X-MAXX platform. Inspired by popular full-size off-road wheels, the Raid 5.7″ wheel is extremely tough and has the bold style to match. The Badlands MX57 tires are glued to the big diameter Raid wheel for the ultimate in lightweight, all-terrain performance.
