Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheels represent serious engineering with real-world performance benefits. The gloss black Weld wheels are manufactured to exacting standards, providing structural integrity that withstands the forces generated by modern brushless RC motors and aggressive acceleration. The Talon EXT tyres use a sticky rubber compound specifically formulated to maximise grip on both off-road terrain and smoother surfaces, giving you the traction needed to put down power efficiently without wheelspin and loss of control. The pre-installed foam inserts are crucial—they act as secondary suspensions that maintain tyre shape under cornering loads, prevent tyre roll-off during sharp turns, and absorb minor impacts that would otherwise damage wheels or driveshafts. At 3.8 inches in diameter, these tyres are optimised for 1/8 scale RC trucks, providing sufficient ground clearance whilst maintaining a gear ratio that allows excellent acceleration without sacrificing top-end speed. The 17mm splined hex connection is the industry standard for high-performance RC vehicles, ensuring zero play between wheel and driveshaft for immediate, responsive steering feedback. These wheels are TSM-rated, meaning they integrate seamlessly with Traxxas Stability Management systems found in their modern ESC units, delivering controlled, predictable handling. Whether you're running a bashful E-Revo or tackling competitive racing environments, having tyres with genuine grip characteristics like the Talon EXT makes an enormous difference to how your RC model performs.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Traxxas wheels suitable for my RC truck UK setup? — Yes, provided your vehicle uses 17mm splined hex drive shafts and is compatible with 3.8-inch diameter tyres. These wheels are specifically designed for 1/8 scale RC trucks and work particularly well with Traxxas E-Revo models and similar high-performance platforms. If you're unsure about compatibility, check your vehicle's manual or contact our RC Model Shop team for guidance.
• Do I need to glue the tyres onto the wheels myself? — No, these wheels arrive completely pre-assembled and pre-glued, ready to install immediately. The tyres are already bonded to the wheels and the foam inserts are already in place, saving you hours of preparation work and ensuring professional-quality assembly.
• What makes Talon EXT tyres different from standard RC tyres? — Talon EXT tyres feature a proprietary sticky rubber compound that provides significantly better grip and traction compared to standard hardened compounds. This means faster acceleration, better cornering grip, improved braking stability, and more predictable handling, particularly important if you're serious about RC performance.
• Are these wheels good for competitive RC racing? — Absolutely. These wheels are TSM-rated, meaning they meet Traxxas's quality and performance standards for controlled, reliable handling. The combination of quality construction, professional-grade tyres, and foam insert technology makes them suitable for both recreational bashing and competitive environments.
• Can I use these wheels on a ready-to-run RC model? — If your ready-to-run RC car features 17mm splined hex drive shafts, these wheels are a direct upgrade. Simply remove the old wheels and press these new ones onto the driveshafts. No tools or adhesive needed thanks to the pre-glued design.
• What's the difference between these and other wheel options? — The key advantages are the pre-glued assembly (saving installation time), the advanced Talon EXT rubber compound (superior grip), integrated foam inserts (better performance and impact absorption), and TSM rating (guaranteed compatibility with modern Traxxas systems). You're buying professional-quality wheels backed by Traxxas engineering.
