These tires hold up under pressure. They don't balloon at all.
Akill® Mad Dog Super Spike - 1/5 Ultra-Lightweight Competition Tires (Tires + Foams Only)
Flat out best tires on the market. Will definitely keep buying AKill tires and products.
Quite literally the best tyres you can buy for 1/5 scale. A small selection of copycat tyres are available but none of them meet the quality or price of the original Akills.
I have been in this hobby for 15 years and have tried almost every tire on the market. The Taylor tires have gone downhill recently, the rubber is just too soft. These Akill spikes are what a spike tire should be. Rigid, strong sidewalls, and they do not balloon. Good job on the compound.
Just took the 180x85s out for a speed run and officially clocked 100 MPH on grass. The stability is unreal—absolutely zero ballooning even at triple-digit speeds.
Forget those weak Taylor tires; their soft rubber would have folded over or blown apart under this kind of power. Akill is the only tire built for this. Hands down the best super spike in the world. The King is back!
I've been running Akill tires for over 2 years. When they went out of production for a while, I had no choice but to try the Taylor copies (Mike's version). What a huge disappointment. Taylor explicitly copied the design, but their rubber is way too soft and the spikes just fold over.
Thank god Akill is back! I immediately bought multiple sets, and they are even better than I remembered. The spikes are much stronger/harder than Taylor's, but the real game-changer is the new insert formula. These are shockingly light—literally a fraction of the weight of the heavy Taylor tires—and they have absolutely ZERO ballooning. The OG is still the best.
These things tear up the yard! rips on my XRT. spikes dig in deep
Great tires
Way better than the stock tires my X-Maxx came with. trash compared to these
Used the other brands but Akill just feels heavier duty. glad i grabbed a set
Gap your friends with these. the launch is violent
Hit 87mph on grass this morning. tires stayed flat. zero pizza cutters
been checking the site every week for these. glad u guys are back. got mine today
thank god for these beadlocks. just mounted them. super easy
Arrived in London already. faster than buying local sometimes lol
Ran these on my Kraton 8S full throttle today and the beadlocks held tight. perfect fit
Just ran a pack on the XRT and spikes are still sharp. good stuff
Forget the rest. Akill is the king of spikes
Emailed about hex size, got a reply in 10 mins
Not cheap but you pay for quality. the beadlock rims alone are worth it
No wobbles at high speed. balanced well out of the box
Rubber isnt too soft like the competitors. feels tough
Bolted right onto my X-Maxx yesterday. looks aggressive as hell
The original is still the best. best upgrade ive done to my K8S
ordered right when they dropped, got them already. thanks
Watch your fingers these spikes are sharp. serious grip
Incredible traction on loose surfaces. front end wont stay down
THE BUGGY KING IS BACK.
Introducing Mad Dog V2 (180mm).
Lighter. Faster. Waterproof. 12S Power Ready.
Stop paying for heavy stock wheels you don't need. The Akill® Mad Dog V2 series is designed for the pro-builder who demands performance customization. We took the internet-famous Super Spike pattern and optimized it with a stronger carcass and lighter materials.
We give the choice back to you—pair these top-tier tires with your favorite rims and experience a new level of acceleration.
⚡ AS SEEN ON YOUTUBE: 94 MPH CERTIFIED
What happens when you put 34 Horsepower through a set of Akill Mad Dog tires? You break records.
🚀 V2 UPGRADE REPORT:
The record run above was achieved on our Original V1 tires. The V2 Mad Dog (Sold Here) is an evolution of that design:
✔ Even Lighter: Further reduced rotational mass for quicker acceleration.
✔ Softer Compound: Improved rubber formula provides higher grip while maintaining high-speed stability.
🧪 Engineered with AKILL Premium High-Modulus Rubber
How do we stop tire expansion (ballooning) without adding heavy belted layers? Science. The Mad Dog V2 is molded using our Proprietary High-Density Rubber Compound.
- ✅ Anti-Ballooning Technology: As proven by the 94 MPH run, our rubber formula has incredible tensile strength, holding its shape under extreme 12S RPMs.
- ✅ Precision High-Pressure Molding: Creates a perfectly balanced carcass. Essential for speed runs where wobble equals a crash.
- ✅ Viral Grip: The spikes are designed to dig deep into loose dirt and grass, providing "Monstrous Grip" while still allowing for controlled sliding in corners.
⚖️ The 19g "Zero-G" Revolution
At the heart of the Mad Dog is our proprietary Closed-Cell Sponge Inner. Weighing in at only ~19 grams, it drastically reduces rotational mass. This means snappier throttle response and explosive acceleration.
