Key Features

• Ultra-Soft Compound — The Response Pro tyres utilise an ultra-soft rubber compound that provides exceptional grip and adhesion to the track surface, enabling faster acceleration, better braking, and improved cornering speeds compared to standard medium-compound tyres.
• Taller Profile Design — The increased sidewall height improves side bite and bump handling, allowing your RC car to maintain traction over track imperfections and providing better stability during aggressive cornering manoeuvres.
• Advanced Tread Pattern — The new tread design has been developed specifically for racing applications, with the outside row of spikes contoured to provide precisely calibrated side bite for smooth, predictable turn-in characteristics that competitive drivers demand.
• Race-Tuned Foam Inserts — Each tyre comes equipped with foam inserts that have been specifically tuned for racing performance, offering the ideal balance between responsiveness and durability across a variety of track conditions.
• 3.8 Inch White Dished Wheels — The new dish wheels complement the Response Pro tyres perfectly, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional performance with their distinctive white finish and dish profile design.
• Uniquely Moulded Hexes — The wheels feature specially designed moulded hexes that lock securely into the innovative splined 17mm hexes, preventing slippage and ensuring consistent, rock-solid wheel alignment even under extreme acceleration and braking forces.
• Increased Torque Handling — The splined 17mm hex system provides superior torque transmission compared to standard hexes, making these wheels ideal for high-powered brushless RC vehicles that demand reliable component interface.
• Assembled and Glued — These wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres glued in place, eliminating the need for time-consuming preparation and allowing you to install them immediately on your RC car.

Technical Performance

The Response Pro tyre and wheel system represents Traxxas's commitment to delivering race-proven performance equipment. The ultra-soft compound has been carefully formulated to maintain grip levels across varying track temperatures whilst offering predictable wear characteristics that serious competitors appreciate. The taller profile sidewall construction increases the contact patch geometry during aggressive cornering, which translates to measurable improvements in lap times on typical racing circuits. The foam inserts have been race-tuned to absorb impacts from track imperfections, reducing jarring feedback to the chassis whilst maintaining responsiveness. The 3.8" white dished wheels are precision-manufactured and utilise uniquely moulded hexes that interface with innovative splined 17mm hexes (sold separately as part #5353X along with wheel nuts). This splined system is engineered to handle significantly higher torque loads than standard hex systems, making it essential for high-performance brushless RC trucks and buggies. The wheels are suitable for use on 1/10 scale vehicles and can be positioned at both the front and rear of your RC car. The assembled and glued configuration means the tyres and wheels arrive ready for immediate installation, making this an ideal solution for racers who value convenience without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these Response Pro tyres suitable for beginner RC car enthusiasts? — Whilst these tyres are engineered for racing performance and will deliver noticeable improvements for experienced drivers, beginners can certainly benefit from their superior grip and predictable handling. However, if you're new to RC cars UK hobby, you might want to start with more affordable standard tyres before upgrading to racing-specific Response Pro rubber.
• What is the difference between Response Pro tyres and standard Traxxas tyres? — Response Pro tyres feature an ultra-soft compound, a taller profile for increased side bite, and a new advanced tread design specifically engineered for racing performance. They come with race-tuned foam inserts and are designed to deliver faster lap times, better bump handling, and more predictable turn-in characteristics compared to general-purpose tyres.
• Will these wheels fit my RC car? — These wheels feature 17mm splined hexes, so they require compatible 17mm splined hubs and wheel nuts. They are designed for 1/10 scale vehicles and can be positioned at both front and rear. If your RC car uses standard 12mm or 14mm hexes, you will need to upgrade your hubs to splined 17mm versions (Traxxas part #5353X is recommended).
• Can I use these wheels on different RC vehicles? — Yes, provided your vehicles have 17mm splined wheel hubs. The 3.8" wheel diameter and tyre profile work well on most 1/10 scale trucks and buggies, though optimal performance is achieved when matched to vehicles with appropriate suspension geometry and wheelbase.
• What makes the splined 17mm hex system better than standard hexes? — The splined 17mm hex system significantly increases torque handling capacity compared to standard 12mm or 14mm hexes. The uniquely moulded hexes lock securely into the splined design, preventing slippage and maintaining rock-solid wheel alignment even during aggressive acceleration, hard braking, and cornering.
• Are these tyres suitable for wet track conditions? — The Response Pro tyre design and ultra-soft compound are engineered for optimal performance, though as with all RC racing tyres, wet conditions will affect grip levels. Test the tyres on your specific track conditions to determine suitability.
