Key Features
- Monster Jam Replica Wheels in Satin Chrome — The distinctive satin chrome finish provides a premium, show-quality appearance that catches the light beautifully whilst maintaining a sophisticated, understated aesthetic that complements any vehicle colour scheme. Satin chrome is less reflective than mirror chrome, offering a more refined look that appeals to builders seeking authentic Monster Jam styling without excessive shine.
- Monster Jam Replica Tyres with Dual Profile Design — These tyres feature a specially engineered tread pattern with wider spacing between blocks to help grab terrain edges effectively, whilst the compliant sidewall design allows the tyre to conform to irregular surfaces, maximising contact patch and improving traction on challenging terrain including rocks, roots, and uneven soil.
- Pre-Assembled and Glued Construction — Both wheels and tyres arrive fully assembled and permanently glued, eliminating the need for time-consuming tyre mounting, gluing, and balancing procedures. This means unboxing to track-ready takes just minutes, perfect for anyone who wants to spend less time building and more time driving.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each wheel includes integrated foam inserts that provide crucial dampening and support for the tyre structure during aggressive driving, reducing squeal and improving overall handling characteristics without requiring separate purchase or installation of additional components.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hex interface ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC trucks available on the UK market, including current Traxxas models, allowing you to upgrade existing vehicles without requiring adapters or modifications.
- Dual Configuration for Mixed Powertrains — The package includes both nitro rear and electric front tyre specifications, providing genuine flexibility to use these wheels on either brushless electric RC cars or nitro-powered trucks, making this a truly versatile upgrade option for multi-vehicle collectors.
- Premium Rubber Compound — Traxxas has engineered these tyres using a specialised rubber formulation that delivers consistent performance across temperature ranges whilst resisting premature wear, ensuring your investment maintains grip and appearance through extended use.
- Pack of Two Units — Each purchase includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing front and rear wheel coverage for a single vehicle or allowing you to maintain spare sets for different terrain conditions without requiring separate purchases.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX3665 wheels and tyres represent a significant step forward in 1/10 scale truck customisation, combining aesthetic excellence with genuine performance improvements. The satin chrome wheels are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring perfect balance and eliminating vibration that can compromise handling at speed. The Monster Jam replica tyres utilise a sophisticated dual-profile design that differs from standard truck tyres in several important ways. The tread blocks feature wider spacing compared to conventional patterns, allowing the tyre to bite into soft terrain more effectively whilst preventing clogging with mud and debris during wet-weather running. The sidewalls are notably taller and more compliant than some alternative options, despite maintaining the same outer diameter as stock Traxxas configurations, which means improved shock absorption and terrain conformance without sacrificing ground clearance or affecting vehicle geometry. The foam inserts provide essential structural support and damping, improving both handling response and tyre longevity during extended high-intensity running. At 1/10 scale, these wheels and tyres are engineered specifically for this size class, ensuring perfect fitment and performance integration with vehicles like the Traxxas TRX-4, TRX-6, and other modern Traxxas trucks equipped with 12mm hex hubs. The professional pre-gluing process employed in assembly ensures the tyre bead remains perfectly seated during the most aggressive driving conditions, eliminating the risk of tyre rollover or debeading that can occur with rushed or amateur gluing techniques. For UK RC enthusiasts running ready to run RC trucks or custom builds, these wheels and tyres deliver the quality and reliability expected from Traxxas' heritage as an industry leader in performance RC vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, completely. The wheels and tyres arrive pre-assembled and glued, with foam inserts already in place. You simply bolt them onto your vehicle's 12mm hex hubs and you're ready to drive. No mounting, gluing, or balancing is required, making this an ideal upgrade for anyone who wants immediate results without workshop time.
- What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These TRX3665 wheels and tyres fit any 1/10 scale RC truck equipped with 12mm hex hub fittings, which includes most modern Traxxas models including the TRX-4 series, TRX-6, and numerous other manufacturers' vehicles using standard 1/10 scale dimensions. If your vehicle has 12mm hex hubs, these will fit perfectly.
- What's the difference between nitro rear and electric front specifications? — Traxxas designs tyre compounds specifically optimised for different powerplant characteristics. Nitro engines produce different power delivery curves and run at different temperatures compared to brushless electric motors, so Traxxas provides separate tyre formulations to ensure optimal grip regardless of your propulsion method. This pack includes both so you're covered whether running nitro or electric.
- How do these compare to the stock Traxxas wheel and tyre combination? — The Monster Jam replica wheels offer superior styling with their satin chrome finish, whilst the tread design and rubber compound in these tyres has been optimised specifically for improved edge grip on rocks and rough terrain. The compliant sidewall design means better conformance to uneven surfaces, which translates to more consistent traction and improved obstacle-climbing ability compared to some stock configurations.
- Will these tyres work well for trail running and rock crawling? — Absolutely. The wider block spacing in the tread pattern is specifically engineered to grab terrain edges effectively, making these tyres excellent for rock crawling, trail running, and any terrain-based driving. The tall, compliant sidewalls allow the tyre to conform to irregular surfaces, maximising contact patch and providing the grip needed for serious obstacle courses.
- Do I need to balance these wheels? — No. Because the wheels and tyres are professionally assembled and glued, the balancing has already been completed at the factory. This ensures you get perfect balance right out of the box without requiring specialist equipment or time investment.
- Can I use these on a nitro truck, electric truck, or both? — This pack includes specifications for both nitro rear and electric front configurations, so you can use these wheels and tyres on either type of vehicle. However, you would typically use the nitro-spec tyre on a nitro truck and electric-spec on an electric truck for optimal performance.
