Key Features

• Factory-Assembled and Glued — Both wheels and tyres arrive completely pre-mounted and bonded with Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, eliminating the need for manual assembly and ensuring consistent, professional-quality results that match Traxxas factory standards every single time.
• Gravix Belted Tyres with Low-Profile Design — The 7.4 x 4.0 inch Gravix belted tyres feature a lightweight reinforced belting system in the tyre carcass that maintains tyre shape under extreme conditions, delivering a larger contact patch for superior grip and more responsive handling at any speed.
• Directional Tread Pattern for Superior Traction — The precisely engineered directional tread pattern provides excellent grip both on-track and off-road whilst running noticeably quieter than typical aggressive off-road tyres, giving you a performance advantage without the noise pollution.
• Dual Profile Foam Inserts — The innovative dual profile foam inserts with 4.3 inch outer and 5.7 inch inner dimensions provide optimised compliance and energy absorption, allowing the tyres to deform smoothly for maximum ground contact whilst maintaining structural integrity during high-speed driving.
• XRT Race Black Chrome Wheels — Purpose-built for extreme performance, these black chrome finished wheels are engineered for the XRT range and deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional durability for serious RC racing and bashing applications.
• 8S-Rated Ultra-Tough Glue Bead — The adhesive bonding uses Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, specifically formulated and tested for extreme high-speed action on 8S brushless systems, capable of holding tyres secure even at speeds exceeding 100 mph and extreme centrifugal forces.
• 24 mm Splined Hex Fitment — Universal compatibility with front or rear axle positions on multiple Traxxas models, including the X-Maxx belted and XRT ranges, making these wheels versatile upgrades for your fleet of brushless RC vehicles.
• Left and Right Configuration — Supplied as matched left and right pairs to ensure balanced handling and symmetrical performance characteristics across both sides of your RC machine, critical for competitive driving and predictable behaviour.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX7862X represent significant engineering refinement specifically tailored for 8S brushless RC vehicles operating at the highest performance levels. The belted Gravix tyres employ a sophisticated internal reinforcement structure that prevents tyre deformation under the extreme centrifugal forces generated at high speeds, maintaining consistent tyre profile and maximising the contact patch for enhanced grip and cornering control. The 7.4 x 4.0 inch low-profile design reduces unsprung mass compared to traditional tyres whilst the dual profile foam inserts (4.3 inch outer, 5.7 inch inner) absorb energy transfer and vibration, translating to smoother handling and improved traction consistency across varied terrain.

The factory assembly process utilises Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, a super-strong cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically developed during Traxxas' engineering of the record-breaking 100+ mph XO-1 hypercar. This adhesive formulation was created in partnership with specialised experts to achieve bonding strength capable of withstanding the extreme stresses of triple-digit speed operation. The black chrome XRT Race wheels are precision-manufactured from durable materials engineered to handle the mechanical loads and vibration frequencies associated with brushless power and high-RPM operation. The 24 mm splined hex connection provides solid mechanical engagement with both front and rear axles, whilst the wheel design incorporates horizontal bead profiles that offer maximum resistance to tyre separation due to centrifugal force—the gold standard for all Traxxas wheels and tyres equipped on brushless and brushless-ready models throughout the UK RC market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres ready to install straight from the box? — Yes, the Traxxas TRX7862X wheels and tyres arrive completely assembled, mounted, and factory-glued with Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, requiring no additional preparation or assembly work. Simply fit them to your RC vehicle's 24 mm splined hex connections on the front or rear axle and you're ready to drive. This eliminates hours of manual tyre mounting and gluing, making them ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who want professional results without the labour.
• What Traxxas models are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These wheels are designed for 1:6 scale Traxxas models featuring 24 mm splined hex axles, with confirmed compatibility including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR (8S), X-Maxx Ultimate, and XRT VXL-8S and XRT Ultimate ranges. They fit both front and rear axle positions, offering flexibility in how you configure your machine. Always verify your specific model's axle configuration before purchasing if you're unsure.
• What makes the Gravix belted tyres different from standard RC tyres? — The Gravix tyres feature lightweight reinforced belting integrated into the tyre carcass that maintains tyre shape under extreme stress, resulting in a larger contact patch and improved grip whilst reducing unwanted deformation at high speeds. The directional tread pattern delivers excellent traction and operates significantly quieter than typical aggressive off-road tyres. This combination delivers game-changing performance advantages on track and in the wild, making them standout choices for serious RC racing in the UK market.
• Are these suitable for both track and off-road driving? — Yes, the Gravix belted tyres with their directional tread pattern perform excellently both on prepared race tracks and rough off-road terrain. The tread design balances traction performance across varied surfaces whilst the belted construction maintains consistent handling at any speed, whether you're running competitive laps or weekend bashing.
• What is the advantage of the dual profile foam inserts? — The innovative dual profile design with 4.3 inch outer and 5.7 inch inner dimensions provides optimised compliance characteristics, allowing the tyres to deform smoothly and absorb impacts whilst maintaining structural integrity. This translates to more responsive handling, better ground contact, and improved energy absorption across varying track conditions and driving styles.
• How are these tyres glued to the wheels? — Traxxas factory technicians use Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, an ultra-strong cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically formulated for extreme high-speed applications on 8S brushless systems. The glue bead is applied using precise techniques that ensure complete bonding around the tyre bead and wheel channel, rated to hold tyres secure at speeds exceeding 100 mph. The glue creates a horizontal bead profile that offers maximum resistance to centrifugal force separation.
• Can I replace just one wheel and tyre or do I need to buy pairs? — The TRX7862X is sold as a matched left and right pair to ensure balanced handling and symmetrical performance across both sides of your machine. This paired configuration is important for maintaining predictable handling characteristics during high-performance driving. If you need additional sets or single wheels, check with RC Model Shop for alternative configurations.
• Do these tyres require any maintenance or preparation before use? — No preparation is required—these arrive factory-assembled and ready to install immediately. However, if you wish to modify them for specific conditions (such as adding tyre vents for wet weather or trail driving), this can be done using a leather punch to create two opposite holes in the tread centerline, allowing airflow whilst centrifugal force keeps dirt or water from entering the tyre. This is entirely optional based on your driving preferences.
• What is the wheel diameter and overall tyre dimensions? — The Gravix belted tyres measure 7.4 inches x 4.0 inches in profile, classified as low-profile design for reduced unsprung mass. They mount to XRT Race black chrome wheels with 24 mm splined hex connections. The dual profile foam inserts measure 4.3 inches outer diameter and 5.7 inches inner diameter, providing the compliance characteristics engineered for 8S brushless performance.
