What sets these wheels and tyres apart in the competitive RC hobby market is the attention to detail in every component. The tough black six-spoke wheels provide both durability and distinctive style, while the paddle tyre design has been perfected through years of real-world testing by RC professionals and enthusiasts across the UK and beyond. With these mounted and pre-glued tyres ready to bolt straight onto your vehicle, you eliminate installation variables and get consistent, reliable performance immediately.
Key Features
- Paddle Tyre Design with Outrageously Strong Scoops — The paddle configuration features dramatically oversized scoops that dig into loose surfaces with exceptional aggression, providing unmatched traction in sand, snow, mud, and other challenging terrain that would defeat conventional tyres. This engineering breakthrough means your RC vehicle responds instantly to throttle input without slipping or spinning out, delivering the confidence and control every driver craves.
- Strengthening Ribs — Integrated ribs throughout the tyre structure provide crucial structural support that prevents deformation under hard acceleration and cornering loads. These reinforcements work together with the paddle scoops to maintain consistent contact with the ground, ensuring predictable handling characteristics even during aggressive driving sessions on unprepared surfaces.
- TSM-Rated Glue Joints — Traxxas's exclusive TSM (Team Sanctioned Material) rating on the glue joints means these tyres have been tested and approved for competition-level abuse, guaranteeing bond strength that won't fail during critical moments. You'll benefit from professional-grade durability that keeps your tyres mounted securely through countless hours of bashing, racing, and high-stress driving.
- Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued Setup — Unlike many tyre options that require you to purchase tyres and wheels separately then bond them yourself, these paddle tyres come fully assembled and pre-glued with foam inserts. This means genuine no-hassle, out-of-the-box bolt-on traction that gets you driving within minutes rather than hours, making these ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who value their time and want instant performance.
- Tough Black Six-Spoke Wheels — The wheels feature a proven six-spoke design in durable black that looks fantastic whilst providing excellent structural integrity. The 3.8-inch diameter wheels are purpose-built for 1/8 scale truggy and stadium truck platforms, offering the perfect balance between ground clearance, rollover resistance, and overall vehicle handling characteristics.
- 17mm Splined Hex Fitment — The 17mm hex connection is the industry-standard fitment for 1/8 scale vehicles like the E-Revo VXL 2.0, ensuring perfect compatibility with your existing vehicle without the need for adapters or modifications. This universal fitment means you're buying wheels and tyres that integrate seamlessly with your current setup.
- Supplied as a Pair — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing enough coverage for front or rear positioning. Many serious RC enthusiasts purchase multiple sets to maintain a rotation of tyres, ensuring they always have fresh paddle tyres ready for optimal performance whilst others dry out between sessions.
- E-Revo VXL 2.0 Compatibility — These wheels and tyres are officially designed and tested for seamless compatibility with the Traxxas E-Revo VXL 2.0, one of the most popular and capable 1/8 scale vehicles available in the UK RC market. This ensures perfect fitment and performance without any guesswork or compatibility concerns.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8674 paddle tyres represent engineering excellence in off-road RC traction technology. The 3.8-inch diameter wheels utilise a robust six-spoke design constructed from tough black material that withstands the punishment of serious off-road driving. The foam inserts, pre-installed within the tyres, provide crucial damping characteristics that absorb impacts and maintain consistent tyre pressure throughout extended driving sessions, preventing the tyre from separating from the wheel even under extreme stress. The TSM-rated glue joints employ Traxxas's proven bonding technology, the same compounds trusted by professional RC racing teams and competition drivers who demand absolute reliability. The paddle tyre compound itself has been specifically formulated to remain supple across a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent grip whether you're driving in cool UK autumn weather or warmer summer conditions. The strengthening ribs integrated throughout the tyre structure prevent the sidewalls from collapsing under hard cornering loads, maintaining the precise contact patch necessary for predictable handling. For 1/8 scale truggy and stadium truck applications, these wheels and tyres deliver the performance envelope needed for serious competitive driving or high-speed bashing, with genuine grip that transforms how your vehicle responds to steering and throttle input on loose surfaces. The overall engineering represents genuine value in the brushless RC market, offering professional-grade components at sensible pricing that won't require replacement after just a few sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these paddle tyres suitable for beginners to RC hobbyists? — Absolutely. Whilst paddle tyres are often associated with advanced off-road driving, the TRX8674's pre-assembled and pre-glued design makes them perfect for beginners who want serious traction without the complexity of tyre preparation. Simply bolt them onto your E-Revo VXL 2.0 or compatible 1/8 scale truggy and enjoy immediate performance benefits. The dramatic improvement in grip compared to standard tyres means even newcomers to RC will immediately notice how much better their vehicle handles on loose terrain.
- What surfaces perform best with paddle tyres? — Paddle tyres excel on sand, snow, mud, and any loose or unprepared surface where conventional tyres would struggle for grip. The aggressive paddle design digs into these materials and propels your vehicle forward with remarkable efficiency. They're less ideal on paved surfaces where the paddles can feel unpredictable, but for genuine off-road adventure across natural terrain, they're unbeatable. UK drivers tackling coastal sand dunes, muddy forest tracks, or winter snow will find paddle tyres transform their RC experience.
- Can I use these wheels on vehicles other than the E-Revo VXL 2.0? — Yes, these TRX8674 wheels feature the standard 17mm splined hex connection used across numerous 1/8 scale truggy and stadium truck platforms. Any vehicle using this fitment will accept these wheels perfectly. However, you should verify your specific vehicle uses 17mm hex compatibility before purchasing to ensure perfect fitment.
- How long do these tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on driving intensity and terrain type. Paddle tyres experience more aggressive wear on extremely abrasive surfaces like coarse sand compared to softer terrain like snow or mud. The TSM-rated glue bonds are engineered for durability through countless driving sessions, and many UK RC enthusiasts maintain multiple sets of tyres that they rotate through depending on terrain conditions and current wear levels.
- Do these come ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, these are genuinely ready to bolt on and drive. The tyres are pre-glued with foam inserts already installed, and the glue joints are already cured and ready for action. Unlike standard tyre and wheel purchases that require you to bond them together and wait for glue to cure, these deliver immediate usability. Simply ensure your vehicle's hex hubs are clean and free from debris, slide the wheels on, and you're ready to experience the traction transformation.
- What is the difference between paddle tyres and standard RC tyres? — Paddle tyres feature dramatically larger, more aggressive scoops designed specifically to bite into loose terrain, whilst standard tyres use smaller tread patterns designed for varied surfaces. Paddle tyres will spin uselessly on pavement but deliver extraordinary grip on sand, snow, and mud. Standard tyres offer moderate grip across various conditions but never achieve the specialised performance that paddle tyres deliver on loose surfaces. Think of paddles as the specialist choice for specific terrain, whilst standard tyres are the jack-of-all-trades option.
