Key Features
- Pre-glued and pre-mounted assembly — The tyres come factory-glued and mounted to the wheels with foam inserts already installed, meaning you can fit these directly to your vehicle without requiring additional glue, mounting tools, or time-consuming preparation work. This is particularly valuable for racers who want to minimise downtime between practice sessions and competition runs.
- Black SCT wheels with orange beadlock-style trim — The wheels feature an authentic beadlock-style design with orange trim accents that not only look aggressive and purposeful but also provide additional structural support to keep the tyre bead secure during high-speed cornering and intense driving conditions typical of off-road racing.
- Foam inserts for tyre support — Each tyre is fitted with foam inserts that provide internal support and cushioning, helping to maintain tyre shape and integrity during high-speed applications. This construction prevents tyre rolling and maintains consistent contact with the ground, essential for maintaining grip and steering response in competitive racing.
- TSM-rated for high-speed applications — These tyres are certified for high-speed use, meaning they have been tested and approved to handle the demands of rapid acceleration, high-speed cornering, and the sustained speeds associated with competitive short course truck racing without premature wear or failure.
- 12 mm hex compatibility — The wheels feature standard 12 mm hex fitting, ensuring universal compatibility with the vast majority of SCT vehicles on the market, whether you're running a 4WD front or rear position, or a 2WD rear setup.
- Versatile fitment options — These tyres can be fitted to 4WD vehicles at either the front or rear axle, or to 2WD vehicles at the rear position, giving you flexibility in how you configure your vehicle and allowing you to experiment with different tyre compounds on different axles to optimise handling characteristics.
- Genuine Traxxas quality control — As an official Traxxas product, these tyres benefit from the manufacturer's renowned quality control standards and engineering expertise, ensuring consistent performance and durability across every unit produced.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas SCT off-road racing tyre assembly represents the pinnacle of tyre engineering for short course truck applications. The pre-glued construction utilises premium adhesive formulations to create an absolutely secure bond between the tyre and wheel, eliminating the risk of separation during intense racing sessions. The foam inserts integrated into each tyre provide crucial support, preventing the tyre from rolling or deforming under the high lateral forces experienced during rapid cornering, whilst also serving as a shock absorber that helps maintain consistent ground contact. The black SCT wheels are manufactured to precise tolerances, featuring a durable construction that resists impact damage during rough terrain driving. The orange beadlock-style trim isn't merely aesthetic; it provides genuine structural benefits by bracing the wheel and tyre assembly against the forces that attempt to separate the bead during cornering. With their TSM certification for high-speed applications, these tyres have been thoroughly tested to ensure they can handle sustained high-speed driving without degradation in performance or premature wear. The 12 mm hex interface ensures a secure fit on compatible vehicles, and the overall engineering of this product reflects Traxxas's commitment to delivering racing-grade components that serious RC drivers and competitive bashers can rely on in demanding conditions. Whether you're navigating sandy terrain, rocky courses, or grass tracks, the compound and profile of these racing tyres have been carefully formulated to provide optimal grip and predictable handling characteristics that translate to faster lap times and more enjoyable driving experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for my short course truck? — Yes, provided your vehicle features a 12 mm hex wheel interface. These tyres fit 4WD vehicles at the front or rear position, and 2WD vehicles at the rear position. If you're unsure whether your model is compatible, check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team for clarification.
- Do I need to glue these tyres myself? — No, one of the major advantages of this product is that the tyres come pre-glued and mounted. Simply remove them from the packaging and fit them directly to your vehicle's wheels using the standard hex fitting. There's no waiting for adhesive to cure or risk of uneven glue application affecting performance.
- What makes TSM-rated tyres different from standard tyres? — TSM-rated tyres have been engineered and tested specifically for high-speed applications, meaning they maintain their structural integrity and grip characteristics even when subjected to the sustained speeds and forces of competitive racing. Standard tyres may not be designed to handle these demands reliably.
- Can I use these tyres on a 2WD vehicle? — Yes, these tyres are compatible with 2WD short course trucks, though they can only be fitted to the rear axle. For a front tyre, you would need a different product designed specifically for front fitment on 2WD vehicles.
- What is the purpose of the foam inserts? — The foam inserts provide internal support to the tyre, preventing it from rolling or deforming excessively during high-speed cornering. They also help absorb minor impacts and maintain consistent ground contact, which is essential for maintaining grip and steering response during racing.
- How do these compare to other Traxxas tyre options? — Traxxas produces a wide range of tyre compounds and profiles designed for different terrain types and driving styles. These SCT racing tyres are specifically engineered for high-speed off-road applications, making them ideal for competitive racing. Other Traxxas tyre options may be better suited to different conditions such as on-road surfaces or general all-purpose driving.
- Will these tyres work with my existing wheels? — These tyres come as a complete assembly including wheels, so you're getting both the tyre and the wheel together. Simply remove your existing wheel and tyre combination and fit this pre-mounted assembly in its place.
- How often should I replace these tyres? — Tyre life depends on your driving conditions, terrain, and intensity of use. Tyres used in competitive racing will wear faster than those used for casual weekend driving. Inspect your tyres regularly for signs of excessive wear, uneven wear patterns, or damage, and replace them when grip noticeably diminishes or structural damage occurs.
