These pre-glued wheel and tyre sets come ready to install in minutes, eliminating the need for you to source glue, learn mounting techniques, or spend hours in preparation.

Specifically engineered for 1:8 scale truck platforms, this wheel and tyre package combines stunning Geode chrome wheels with the highly capable Canyon AT (all-terrain) tyres that have proven themselves across countless terrains and conditions. The 3.8-inch diameter wheels fit seamlessly with 17mm splined hex hubs, making them compatible with the appropriate Traxxas truck platforms.

Ready to run RC solutions like this represent excellent value because they eliminate guesswork and ensure proper assembly standards from the outset.

What sets these wheels apart is the engineering that went into the Canyon AT tyre design and the meticulous factory assembly process. Traxxas doesn't simply throw these components together; each set is carefully constructed following the same rigorous standards that ensure maximum tyre holding power, consistent performance, and longevity in the field. For UK RC enthusiasts seeking reliable, pre-assembled wheel and tyre sets that require no additional work before installation, this TRX5673 package delivers exceptional value and performance.

Key Features

• Pre-Glued Factory Assembly — These wheels and tyres arrive completely glued and ready to install, eliminating hours of preparation time and the need to source separate adhesives. You can mount them to your truck and start driving immediately, which is particularly valuable for those who want to spend more time running and less time preparing.
• 3.8-Inch Geode Chrome Wheels — The Geode chrome wheels feature a striking metallic finish that looks exceptional on display or during high-speed runs. The chrome plating is both aesthetically pleasing and protective, resisting corrosion and maintaining appearance over extended use.
• Canyon AT Tread Design — The Canyon AT tyres feature a sophisticated multi-terrain tread pattern with large, angular lugs specifically engineered to put horsepower to the ground effectively. Whether you're driving through dirt, mud, snow, or mixed terrain, these tyres deliver the traction you need for confident acceleration and all-terrain capability.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre comes mounted with foam inserts already in place, providing essential cushioning between the tyre sidewalls and the wheel rim. These inserts absorb impacts, reduce vibration, and help the tyre maintain its shape during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
• 17mm Splined Hex Compatibility — These wheels are engineered to work with 17mm splined wheel hubs and nuts (part #5353X), ensuring they fit securely and reliably on compatible Traxxas 1:8 scale truck platforms without any compatibility concerns.
• Beadlock-Style Sidewall Protection Available — Traxxas offers dedicated beadlock-style sidewall protectors (parts #5665, 5666, 5667) that can further protect your Geode wheels from impacts and damage during aggressive driving, allowing you to keep your truck's appearance pristine.
• Professional-Grade Adhesive Assembly — These wheels are glued using the same standards that Traxxas applies to all factory-assembled wheel and tyre combinations. The glue formula ensures maximum holding power, particularly important at the high RPM and centrifugal forces generated during high-speed driving.

Technical Performance

The TRX5673 wheel and tyre combination represents premium engineering optimised for 1:8 scale truck applications. The 3.8-inch Geode chrome wheels provide an excellent balance between visual appeal and functional performance, with the chrome finish offering durability against weathering and corrosion. The Canyon AT tyre design showcases sophisticated tread engineering with large, angular lugs positioned to maximise ground contact and deliver consistent traction across varied terrain conditions. The inclusion of foam inserts ensures that your truck's suspension can work effectively, as these inserts provide the necessary compliance and impact absorption that keeps the tyre seated securely on the wheel rim during both smooth and aggressive driving. The assembly utilises professional-grade adhesives applied with precision, ensuring the tyre bead bonds completely with the wheel channel without any gaps, voids, or weaknesses. For UK RC car enthusiasts and competitive drivers, the combination of robust tyre design and meticulous factory assembly means you get a product that performs reliably from your first run through to hundreds of hours of use. The multi-terrain capability of the Canyon AT tread means these wheels and tyres excel whether you're on packed dirt, loose terrain, muddy conditions, or mixed surfaces typical of UK outdoor RC tracks and bashing locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, completely. The wheels and tyres arrive fully glued and assembled, with foam inserts already installed. You simply attach them to your truck using the appropriate 17mm splined hubs and you're ready to drive. No adhesive, tools, or preparation is required.
• What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These wheels are engineered for 1:8 scale Traxxas truck platforms that use 17mm splined wheel hubs. They are specifically compatible with models that accept 3.8-inch diameter wheels and require 17mm hex fittings. Check your truck's specifications or contact RC Model Shop if you're uncertain about compatibility.
• Can I use these wheels on brushless RC trucks? — Yes. The Traxxas factory assembly process, including the professional-grade adhesive used, is rated for high-performance applications including brushless-powered trucks. The glue bond is engineered to maintain tyre integrity even at the high RPM and centrifugal forces generated by brushless motors.
• Do the Canyon AT tyres perform well in wet conditions? — The Canyon AT tread design excels in wet conditions thanks to its large, angular lugs that bite into mud, wet earth, and mixed terrain. Many UK RC enthusiasts specifically choose this tread pattern for wet weather running. If you want additional water drainage, you can optionally vent the tyres using a leather punch, creating small holes that allow air and water circulation while still maintaining excellent traction.
• Can I vent these tyres if I want to? — Yes, you can. Venting allows air to flow in and out of the tyre, allowing it to deform more easily to grip surfaces without fighting the spring effect of trapped air. You can make two small vent holes using a leather punch (costing around ten pounds) positioned in the tyre's centerline on opposite sides. Alternatively, Traxxas has already placed vents in the rims which you can seal with poster putty if you want the wheels to be completely watertight. Some drivers prefer vented tyres for even more airflow or when running in wet conditions.
• How long do these pre-glued wheels and tyres last? — With proper use and maintenance, factory-assembled Traxxas wheel and tyre combinations are extremely durable. The professional adhesive bond holds reliably through hundreds of hours of driving. Tyre wear depends on your driving style and surfaces, but the Canyon AT design is engineered for longevity across varied terrain.
• Can I replace just the tyres without buying new wheels? — While these specific wheels arrive with tyres already glued, Traxxas does offer alternative solutions for future upgrades. The manufacturer recommends considering beadlock rims (such as Method 105 replica beadlock wheels available in 1.9-inch and 2.2-inch sizes) for trucks like the TRX-4 and TRX-6, which hold tyres mechanically without glue, allowing you to reuse wheels and simply replace the tyres when needed.
• What makes these wheels and tyres better than other options? — Traxxas wheels and tyres are engineered specifically for their truck platforms, ensuring perfect fitment, balance, and performance. The factory assembly uses professional-grade adhesive developed specifically for high-performance applications (the same adhesive that keeps tyres on the record-shattering XO-1 at 100+ mph). The Geode chrome wheels combine striking aesthetics with durability, whilst the Canyon AT tread design delivers genuine multi-terrain capability backed by decades of Traxxas engineering expertise.
• Do I need sidewall protectors? — Beadlock-style sidewall protectors (parts #5665, 5666, 5667) are optional but recommended if you drive aggressively or frequently bash your truck into obstacles. They protect the Geode wheel finish from impact damage, helping maintain the chrome's appearance and protecting the wheel rim from cracks or dents.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Because these wheels and tyres arrive fully assembled and glued, they're actually ideal for beginners. You eliminate the potentially frustrating task of learning to glue tyres properly, which is one of the trickier aspects of RC truck ownership. Simply bolt them on and drive.
