Key Features
- High-Performance Talon EXT Tyres — The Talon EXT is Traxxas's premium all-terrain tyre compound engineered to dig into dirt and grass surfaces with outstanding traction, giving you the confidence to tackle varied terrain without losing grip during cornering or acceleration.
- Extra Durability on Pavement — The Talon EXT's specialised tyre compound provides enhanced resilience when running on hard concrete or asphalt surfaces, extending tyre life and maintaining consistent performance across multiple surfaces without excessive wear.
- Anti-Ballooning Design — The unique tyre tread pattern is specifically designed to resist the ballooning effect that occurs at high speeds, maintaining tyre shape and stability even when you're pushing your RC car to its maximum velocity, ensuring predictable handling and safety.
- Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued — These wheels arrive completely assembled with tyres already mounted and permanently glued, eliminating the need for tyre gluing equipment, adhesive, drying time, or assembly expertise—simply bolt them on and enjoy immediate performance gains.
- Tough RXT Grey Wheels — The grey-coloured RXT wheels are engineered to withstand the rigours of off-road RC driving, offering excellent durability through repeated impacts, jumps, and aggressive cornering without cracking or deforming.
- TSM-Rated for High-Speed Applications — These wheels and tyres have been rated for use with Traxxas Stability Management systems, ensuring they work harmoniously with your RC's electronic stability features for enhanced control and precision.
- Foam Inserts Included — The package includes foam inserts that work with the Talon EXT tyres to provide proper shock absorption, maintaining contact with the ground and reducing vibration during high-speed runs and landing after jumps.
- 12mm Hex Fitment — The wheels utilise the industry-standard 12mm hexagonal hub connection, making installation straightforward and compatible with a wide range of Traxxas and other RC vehicles using this standard fitting.
- Pair of Two — You receive two complete assembled wheel and tyre units, allowing you to upgrade either front and rear positions on a 4WD electric model, or the front wheels on a 2WD electric vehicle.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas wheels and tyres represent cutting-edge engineering in 1/10 scale RC component design. The Talon EXT tyre compound has been meticulously developed through extensive testing to balance multiple conflicting demands: delivering raw grip on loose surfaces like dirt and grass whilst simultaneously providing durability and speed stability on hard pavement. The anti-ballooning technology is particularly important for UK RC bashers who regularly push their vehicles to 60+ mph, as traditional tyres can deform and lose their shape at extreme speeds, leading to unpredictable handling and potential loss of control. The foam inserts work in concert with the tyre construction to manage energy absorption and rebound, critical for maintaining control during high-impact landings from jumps and maintaining consistent contact patch with the ground at all speeds. The RXT wheels themselves are manufactured to precise tolerances ensuring they sit perfectly balanced within their hubs, minimising vibration and resistance. Whether you're running these on a 4WD electric RC monster truck, stadium truck, or compatible truggy in the UK, the combination of advanced tyre compound chemistry, precision wheel manufacturing, and included foam inserts delivers measurable performance improvements in traction, stability, and overall vehicle responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for high-speed RC driving in the UK? — Yes, absolutely. These wheels and tyres are TSM-rated for high-speed applications and the Talon EXT tyre design specifically resists ballooning at high speeds, making them ideal for users wanting to push their RC cars to maximum velocity safely and reliably.
- Will these wheels fit my RC car? — These wheels feature a 12mm hex fitment and are designed for 4WD electric RC vehicles (front or rear mounting) or 2WD electric RC vehicles (front only). They are compatible with most 1/10 scale truggy and stadium truck models using 12mm hexagonal hubs. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm compatibility.
- What vehicles are these compatible with? — These 2.8-inch wheels and tyres are suitable for 1/10 scale truggy and stadium truck class RC vehicles. They work with both 4WD electric models (mounting on front or rear) and 2WD electric models (front mounting only). Confirm your specific vehicle model supports these dimensions before purchasing.
- Do I need to glue the tyres myself? — No, these tyres come pre-glued to the RXT wheels, saving you the hassle, time, and expense of purchasing tyre glue and performing the gluing and drying process yourself. They are ready to bolt straight onto your vehicle.
- How do foam inserts improve performance? — The foam inserts are engineered to absorb and dissipate energy from impacts and bumps, maintaining consistent tyre contact with the ground and reducing vibration. This improves traction, stability during cornering, and predictability during high-speed running and landing from jumps.
- What is the anti-ballooning feature and why does it matter? — Ballooning occurs when tyres deform and expand outward under the forces generated during high-speed driving. The unique tread design of the Talon EXT resists this deformation, maintaining tyre shape and providing stable handling even at extreme speeds, which is essential for competitive RC driving in the UK.
- Can I use these wheels and tyres on both dirt and pavement? — Yes, these are genuine all-terrain tyres designed to perform across multiple surfaces. The Talon EXT compound delivers outstanding traction on dirt and grass whilst providing enhanced durability when running on concrete or asphalt without excessive wear.
- What does TSM-rated mean? — TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) is an electronic stability control system. TSM-rated wheels and tyres have been engineered and tested to work optimally with TSM systems, ensuring your RC's electronic stability features function as intended for maximum precision and safety.
