Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled, Glued (X-Maxx Green wheels, Sledgehammer Tyres, foam inserts) (left & right) (2 pcs) TRX7774G

Overview

The Traxxas Sledgehammer Tyres on Green Wheels for X-Maxx represent a significant upgrade for owners of the legendary X-Maxx 8S monster truck. Since their introduction, Sledgehammer tyres have become renowned throughout the RC community for delivering extreme traction and exceptional performance across a diverse range of off-road surfaces. This purpose-built wheel and tyre combination is specifically engineered for the massive X-Maxx platform, providing increased diameter and width compared to the stock factory tyres. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to enhance your X-Maxx's capability, or a serious basher who demands uncompromising performance on virtually any terrain, this assembly delivers the aggressive grip and durability you need.

Available exclusively in eye-catching green wheels, this is a ready-to-install solution that arrives pre-assembled and glued, eliminating the time-consuming preparation work. The combination of premium Sledgehammer tyres with robust green X-Maxx wheels creates not only a formidable performance package but also a striking visual presence. These are not merely cosmetic additions; they fundamentally transform how your X-Maxx interacts with the ground, providing dramatically improved traction in demanding conditions that would challenge standard equipment.

For RC car UK enthusiasts who want to maximise their investment in a top-tier brushless RC monster truck, upgrading to Sledgehammer tyres is one of the most impactful modifications available. The engineering that goes into these tyres—from the aggressive tread pattern to the high-strength glue joints rated for extreme 8S brushless power—reflects Traxxas's commitment to delivering unmatched off-road performance.

Key Features

• Massive 8.4-inch Diameter with Increased Width — The X-Maxx Sledgehammers are significantly taller and wider than their stock counterparts, substantially increasing ground clearance and providing a more aggressive stance. This larger footprint translates to improved traction, better obstacle clearance, and enhanced stability when tackling rough terrain.
• Open-Block Tread Pattern Design — The highly aggressive open-block tread pattern is engineered to clear mud and debris from the tyre surface, maintaining contact with the ground and delivering unmatched traction. This innovative design ensures consistent grip in dirt, mud, gravel, sand, snow and a wide variety of other off-road surfaces without tyre clogging.
• High-Strength 8S-Rated Glue Joints — These tyres feature premium-grade adhesive bonds rated specifically for extreme 8S brushless power and the violent off-road conditions that the X-Maxx encounters. The reinforced glue joints ensure the tyres remain securely bonded to the wheels even under the most demanding driving situations, preventing separation and premature failure.
• Available in Three Stunning Wheel Colours — Choose from Black Chrome, Green, or Orange to match your X-Maxx colour scheme and personal preferences. This particular set features the vibrant green finish, which complements X-Maxx models in green, blue, red and orange variants.
• Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — These wheels and tyres arrive completely assembled and glued, eliminating the need for separate tyre gluing, balancing, or preparation work. Simply remove the packaging and install on your X-Maxx—no additional tools, adhesives, or expertise required.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each assembly includes quality foam inserts that provide proper tyre support, maintain structural integrity during high-speed driving, and help absorb impacts and vibrations from rough terrain.
• Front and Rear Compatible — This left and right pair can be installed on either front or rear axles of your X-Maxx, providing flexibility in your setup configuration and allowing you to replace worn tyres quickly.

Technical Performance

The Sledgehammer tyres represent the pinnacle of Traxxas tyre engineering, built to withstand the extraordinary demands of the X-Maxx's 8S LiPo brushless powertrain. The construction combines precision-moulded rubber compounds with advanced tread geometry that has been proven in countless hours of real-world testing across diverse terrain types. The open-block design prevents the common problem of mud and debris compacting inside the tyre, which would otherwise reduce grip and create unpredictable handling. The high-strength glue bonds have been specifically validated for the extreme forces generated by 8S brushless motors, ensuring reliability whether you're blasting across a race track or smashing through natural terrain. At 8.4 inches in diameter, these tyres provide a substantial increase in ground clearance compared to standard X-Maxx rubber, which not only improves approach and departure angles but also increases effective gearing for better top-end speed whilst maintaining impressive climbing ability. The increased width distributes the truck's weight over a larger contact patch, improving traction and reducing the likelihood of wheel spin on loose surfaces. These are genuine performance upgrades that experienced RC enthusiasts recognise as essential for unlocking the X-Maxx's full potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What X-Maxx models are these Sledgehammer tyres compatible with? — These Sledgehammer tyres are designed specifically for all X-Maxx models, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck in Orange, Blue, Red and Green variants, as well as the X-Maxx Ultimate models in Blue X and Green X configurations. They fit both the original X-Maxx and the newer X-Maxx Ultimate platform without modification.
• Are these tyres pre-glued and ready to use straight away? — Yes, these Sledgehammer tyres arrive completely pre-assembled and glued to the green wheels with foam inserts already installed. You can bolt them directly onto your X-Maxx without any additional preparation, gluing, or waiting for adhesive to cure.
• How much bigger are these tyres compared to stock X-Maxx tyres? — The Sledgehammer tyres measure 8.4 inches in diameter and are noticeably wider than the standard X-Maxx factory tyres. This increase in size provides improved ground clearance, better traction, enhanced stability, and a more aggressive appearance.
• What surfaces will these tyres work well on? — Sledgehammer tyres excel on virtually any off-road surface, including dirt, mud, gravel, sand, and snow. The open-block tread pattern is engineered to self-clean by expelling mud and debris, maintaining constant grip even in wet and muddy conditions where standard tyres would clog and lose traction.
• Are the glue joints strong enough for extreme 8S bashers? — Absolutely. These tyres feature high-strength 8S-rated glue joints specifically engineered to withstand the violent acceleration, high-speed impacts, and extreme off-road punishment that a fully-powered X-Maxx dishes out. The reinforced adhesive bonds ensure tyres remain permanently attached even in the most demanding conditions.
• Can I use these tyres on the front and rear axles? — Yes, this pack contains a left and right pair that can be installed on either the front or rear of your X-Maxx. You have complete flexibility in positioning them based on your driving preferences and terrain requirements.
• What is the difference between these and other X-Maxx tyre options? — Sledgehammer tyres are specifically optimised for extreme off-road performance with their aggressive open-block tread pattern, larger diameter, and increased width. They deliver superior traction in challenging conditions compared to stock tyres, and the 8S-rated glue joints are built for maximum durability during high-powered driving.
