Key Features
- RXT Black Chrome Wheels — The distinctive black chrome finish provides a premium, sophisticated appearance that catches light beautifully and gives your RC vehicle a professional race-ready look that standard wheels simply cannot match. This colour option is highly popular among RC enthusiasts in the UK who want their models to stand out from the crowd.
- Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued Design — Unlike traditional wheel and tyre combinations that require separate assembly and gluing, these wheels come fully prepared from the factory, eliminating assembly time and potential mistakes. You can go from unboxing to driving in minutes rather than hours, which is invaluable for impatient bashers and competitive drivers alike.
- Ribbed Tyre Profile — The specially designed ribbed tyre pattern delivers superior grip and traction across diverse terrain, from smooth tarmac to loose dirt and mixed surfaces. The ribs are strategically spaced to channel water and debris away from the contact patch, maintaining consistent grip even in demanding conditions.
- Foam Tyre Inserts — High-quality foam inserts are bonded inside the tyres to provide consistent damping characteristics and to help maintain tyre shape under extreme cornering forces. This construction prevents tyre ripping and delamination, extending the service life of your wheels significantly.
- Electric Front Configuration — These wheels are specifically tuned and balanced for front axle use on electric-powered RC truggy and stadium truck platforms, ensuring optimal performance and handling characteristics without the wear patterns that would result from using rear wheels on the front axle.
- 2WD Front Position Application — Designed to fit 2WD RC vehicles, these wheels are perfect for owners of two-wheel-drive truggy and stadium truck models who want to upgrade their rolling stock without needing to source multiple wheel variants.
- 12mm Hex Hub Mount — The industry-standard 12mm hexagonal hub interface ensures universal compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC truggy and stadium truck models, so you can confidently fit these to your existing vehicle without modification.
- 2.8-Inch Diameter — The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is the perfect sweet spot for 1/10 scale truggy and stadium truck applications, providing optimal ground clearance, approach angles, and overall vehicle dynamics whilst maintaining authentic scale proportions.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas wheels represent the pinnacle of engineering excellence in 1/10 scale RC rolling stock. The combination of robust RXT black chrome wheel construction and professionally manufactured ribbed tyres with integrated foam inserts creates a package that delivers exceptional on-track and off-track performance. The foam inserts are precisely engineered to absorb impacts and vibrations whilst maintaining consistent tyre shape through aggressive cornering and high-speed transitions. The ribbed tyre tread pattern has been designed through countless hours of development by Traxxas engineers to optimise traction across the widest possible range of surfaces, from carpeted indoor tracks to outdoor grass, clay, and mixed terrain. The pre-glued assembly guarantees that the interface between tyre and wheel is perfectly bonded using the correct adhesive and application technique, something that cannot always be guaranteed when users perform their own gluing. For 1/10 scale electric RC truggy and stadium truck platforms, the 2.8-inch wheel diameter delivers the optimal balance between ground clearance and realistic scale proportions, whilst the 12mm hex interface ensures these wheels will fit seamlessly onto your existing vehicle. Whether you're pushing for competition lap times or enjoying casual recreational bashing, these wheels will provide the consistent performance and durability you expect from genuine Traxxas components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for both indoor and outdoor RC track use? — Yes, absolutely. The ribbed tyre pattern has been engineered by Traxxas to deliver consistent grip across a wide variety of surfaces, making these wheels equally at home on carpeted indoor tracks, outdoor asphalt circuits, grass fields, and mixed terrain bash spots. Whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual driving, these wheels will maintain excellent traction.
- Do I need any tools or adhesive to fit these wheels to my RC vehicle? — No, these wheels come pre-assembled and pre-glued, so you simply need a basic RC car tool or Allen key to mount them onto your vehicle's 12mm hex hubs. There is no waiting for adhesive to cure, no mess, and no risk of assembly mistakes.
- What size RC vehicles do these wheels fit? — These 2.8-inch wheels with 12mm hex interface are designed for 1/10 scale RC truggy and stadium truck models with front-axle fitting. They will fit any compatible Traxxas vehicle and many other brands' vehicles that use standard 12mm hex wheel hubs.
- How long do the tyres typically last before needing replacement? — Tyre life depends heavily on your driving style, surface choice, and maintenance habits. The foam inserts and ribbed design help extend tyre life by distributing wear more evenly, but regular inspection for wear is recommended. High-speed competition driving will wear tyres faster than casual bashing.
- Can these wheels be used on the rear of my 2WD RC vehicle? — Whilst the wheels themselves are physically compatible, Traxxas has specifically engineered these as front wheels for electric 2WD vehicles. Using them on the rear may not provide optimal handling characteristics. For best performance, we recommend using Traxxas-matched rear wheels designed for your specific vehicle model.
- Why are these wheels pre-glued rather than sold separately? — Pre-glued wheels save you significant assembly time and guarantee that the tyre-to-wheel interface is bonded using the exact adhesive and technique Traxxas engineers have specified. This consistency ensures optimal performance and helps prevent tyre delamination issues that can occur with amateur gluing.
- Are these wheels available in other colours? — The TRX3771R features RXT black chrome finish specifically. Traxxas produces various other wheel and tyre combinations in different styles and colours, so if you prefer an alternative look, we recommend contacting our team at RC Model Shop to explore other options.
