The pre-glued construction means you can focus on driving and enjoying your RC experience rather than spending hours in preparation.

Key Features

• Outrageously Strong Scoops — The paddle tyres feature aggressive, deeply-cut scoops that bite into sand, snow, and mud with exceptional aggression, providing unmatched traction that standard tyres simply cannot deliver on loose surfaces.
• Strengthening Ribs — Reinforcing ribs are integrated throughout the tyre structure to enhance durability and maintain tyre integrity under extreme driving conditions, preventing deformation and extending tyre lifespan even during intense off-road sessions.
• TSM-Rated Glue Joints — The glue joints meet TSM (Traxxas Standard Material) ratings, ensuring the bond between tyre and wheel remains secure and reliable throughout your driving, with no separation or failure even under demanding use.
• Large 3.8-Inch Geode Chrome Wheels — The substantial wheel diameter combined with eye-catching chrome Geode design provides both functional ground clearance and aesthetic appeal, making your RC vehicle look as good as it performs.

• Beadlock Sidewall Protector Compatible — Optional beadlock-style sidewall protectors are available separately (parts 5664, 5665, 5666, 5667) to further protect and enhance your Geode wheels if desired.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX5672 paddle tyres represent cutting-edge engineering specifically optimised for loose surface traction. Each tyre is manufactured to exacting standards and features aggressive paddle-style tread patterns that generate maximum bite without sacrificing durability. The foam inserts are factory-fitted and pre-glued using professional-grade adhesives rated to TSM specifications, guaranteeing long-term reliability. The Geode chrome wheels provide a robust foundation with excellent strength-to-weight characteristics, whilst the bright chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through countless muddy and sandy sessions. At 3.8 inches in diameter, these wheels sit in the sweet spot for 1/8 scale Truggy and Stadium trucks, offering the perfect balance between ground clearance and traction patch. The strengthening ribs throughout the tyre structure prevent excessive flex and deformation, maintaining consistent contact with the ground surface and ensuring predictable handling characteristics throughout your driving sessions. Whether you're running these on a Traxxas Stampede, Rustler, Slash, or other compatible 1/8 scale model, the pre-glued construction means no additional preparation is needed — simply install them on your existing wheel hubs using the 17mm splined connection and you're ready to experience dramatic improvements in traction and off-road capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are paddle tyres really better than standard tyres for off-road use? — Yes, absolutely. Paddle tyres feature aggressive scoops specifically designed to dig into loose surfaces like sand, mud, and snow, providing dramatically superior traction compared to standard block or knobby tyres. The outrageously strong scoops combined with strengthening ribs create a grip advantage that makes your RC car significantly more capable on loose terrain, allowing you to tackle surfaces and inclines that would defeat standard tyres. This is why serious off-road RC enthusiasts throughout the UK always choose paddle tyres for dedicated loose surface driving.
• Do these tyres come ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, these are completely ready to use. The tyres arrive pre-mounted on the Geode chrome wheels and pre-glued with foam inserts, so there is absolutely no preparation, mounting, balancing, or additional gluing required. You simply fit them to your vehicle's 17mm splined wheel hubs using the included nuts and you're ready to drive. This is perfect for RC enthusiasts who want to eliminate the time-consuming preparation process and get straight to the fun.
• What wheel hubs do I need to use these tyres? — These tyres require 17mm splined wheel hubs and nuts, specifically part number 5353X from Traxxas. If your current RC vehicle uses different hub sizes or connection types, you will need to upgrade to compatible hubs. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• Are these tyres suitable for all 1/8 scale RC vehicles? — These tyres are specifically designed for 1/8 scale Truggy and Stadium truck platforms. They will fit any vehicle using 17mm splined wheel hubs, but they are optimised for these vehicle classes. If you have a different scale or vehicle type, these may not be the ideal choice. Confirm your vehicle's compatibility before purchasing.
• How long do paddle tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on driving style, terrain, and maintenance. The strengthening ribs in these Traxxas tyres enhance durability and help prevent premature wear and deformation. With proper care and reasonable use, you can expect many hours of driving. Driving on extremely rocky or abrasive surfaces will reduce lifespan more quickly than pure loose surface driving. Regular inspection for tyre damage will help you identify when replacement becomes necessary.
• Can I use these tyres on road or mixed terrain? — No, these are specialised loose surface tyres. The aggressive paddle design makes them unsuitable for road driving or hard-packed surfaces, where they will provide poor handling and wear excessively. These tyres are purpose-built for sand, snow, mud, and similar loose environments. For mixed or road use, you need different tyre compounds and tread patterns.
• What is the difference between these and other paddle tyre options? — Traxxas paddle tyres are engineered to professional standards using TSM-rated glue joints, professional foam inserts, and strength-enhancing ribs throughout the structure. The pre-glued construction means you receive professional-quality preparation rather than attempting it yourself. The Geode chrome wheels are robust and aesthetically impressive. Compared to budget alternatives, Traxxas tyres deliver superior durability, reliability, and performance throughout their lifespan.
• Do I need the optional beadlock protectors? — The optional beadlock sidewall protectors (parts 5664, 5665, 5666, 5667) are not essential but provide additional protection for your Geode wheels against impacts and abrasion during intense driving sessions. They also add a professional racing appearance. These are entirely optional and depend on your driving environment and personal preference.
