Key Features
- Pre-assembled and glued design — Both wheels arrive fully assembled with the tyres already mounted and glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for you to spend hours in the workshop preparing them. This means you unbox them and install them straight onto your TRX-6, saving you valuable time and ensuring perfect fitment every single time.
- Black chrome finish — The eye-catching black chrome coating on the 2.2-inch Big Rig wheels gives your RC truck an authentic, high-quality appearance that stands out from standard plastic wheels. This premium finish not only looks professional but also resists corrosion and discolouration, maintaining that showroom shine through countless hours of driving.
- Deep-dish wheel design — The front wheels feature an authentic deep-dish design that mimics real Big Rig truck wheels, providing that scale-model authenticity that serious RC enthusiasts demand. This styling choice isn't just about looks; the geometry affects how light plays across the wheel and contributes to the overall visual impact of your model.
- Canyon RT 4.6x2.2-inch tyres — Specifically engineered for the TRX-6 Big Rig platform, these Canyon RT tyres deliver balanced grip and durability across various terrain conditions. The 4.6 by 2.2-inch dimensions are perfectly proportioned for the scale and weight distribution of your RC hauler, ensuring predictable handling and authentic scaling.
- Foam inserts pre-installed — Each wheel comes with foam inserts already in place, which support the tyre structure and prevent deformation during driving. This attention to detail means the wheels maintain their shape and performance characteristics mile after mile, whether you're driving on concrete, grass or loose terrain.
- Authentic centre caps included — The pair includes two black chrome centre caps that conceal the lug nuts for a fully authentic Big Rig appearance. These finishing touches elevate the overall presentation of your truck, making it look like a professional-grade model rather than a standard RC vehicle.
- Front position specification — These wheels are specifically designed and engineered as front wheels for the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler with Winch, ensuring they fit perfectly with the vehicle's suspension geometry and weight distribution for optimal handling characteristics.
- Genuine Traxxas engineering — Every aspect of these wheels has been developed and tested by Traxxas engineers who understand RC truck dynamics inside and out. This expertise translates into a product that performs consistently, looks incredible and will last through countless hours of recreational driving.
Technical Performance
The TRX8854 wheels represent the pinnacle of Traxxas's commitment to engineering excellence in the RC space. The 2.2-inch Big Rig wheels are manufactured from quality materials that provide both strength and durability, with the black chrome finish applied to resist weathering and maintain its visual appeal. The pre-glued Canyon RT 4.6x2.2-inch tyres have been selected specifically for their performance characteristics on the TRX-6 platform, offering a balance between grip levels, wear resistance and rolling resistance that maximises both enjoyment and battery efficiency during operation. The foam inserts integrated into each wheel assembly serve a critical function—they absorb vibration, maintain tyre shape under load and prevent the tyre from shifting on the wheel during cornering or acceleration. With these wheels mounted on your TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler with Winch, you'll experience improved tracking, reduced understeer and a more planted driving feel across varied surfaces. The deep-dish design of the wheels isn't merely aesthetic; it distributes weight more evenly and provides structural rigidity that keeps everything perfectly aligned even when traversing challenging terrain or encountering obstacles. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand quality components that deliver reliability week after week, these Traxxas wheels set the standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels ready to mount straight out of the box? — Yes, absolutely. The TRX8854 wheels arrive fully assembled with the Canyon RT tyres already mounted and glued to the wheels, and foam inserts are pre-installed. Simply remove them from the packaging and install them onto your TRX-6 Big Rig—no workshop time required. This ready-to-run approach means you can spend more time driving and less time preparing components.
- What vehicle are these wheels specifically designed for? — These wheels are engineered specifically for the Traxxas TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler with Winch (model TRX88086-84-BLK). They are front wheels for this model and will not fit other Traxxas vehicles or RC trucks from other manufacturers without modification. Always verify compatibility before purchasing replacement wheels or tyres for your RC vehicle.
- Will the black chrome finish last through regular use? — The black chrome finish is applied to resist corrosion and weathering, making it durable enough for regular RC driving in UK conditions including dampness and occasional rain. However, like any cosmetic finish, keeping your wheels clean and dry when not in use will help maintain their appearance over time. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended.
- Can I use these wheels as both front and rear on my TRX-6? — These are specifically front wheels for the TRX-6. Traxxas designs its vehicles with different wheel and suspension geometry for front and rear positions, so you will need to purchase the appropriate rear wheels separately. Using front wheels on the rear would negatively impact handling, stability and performance.
- How many wheels do I need to buy to outfit my entire TRX-6? — This package contains a front pair (two wheels). To fully outfit your TRX-6 with replacement wheels, you would need to purchase this front set and a separate rear wheel set. Most enthusiasts purchase one of each to ensure consistent appearance and optimal performance around the entire vehicle.
- Are foam inserts important for tyre performance? — Absolutely. The foam inserts serve multiple critical functions: they support the tyre structure to prevent deformation, absorb vibration during driving, reduce tyre roll during cornering, and help maintain consistent tyre pressure characteristics. These inserts are pre-installed on the TRX8854 and should not be removed or replaced with inferior alternatives.
