Traxxas is a world-leading manufacturer of high-performance RC vehicles and components, and this wheel and tyre package reflects their commitment to quality engineering and real-world performance testing.

Designed specifically for the Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck range, these wheels fit the 17mm splined hex and are rated for both front and rear fitting positions, making them versatile for any setup configuration you choose. The inclusion of foam inserts means the tyres are already optimised for performance, with the right amount of dampening for smooth cornering and reliable on-track or off-road handling.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Maxx MT tyres represent a careful balance between aggressive traction and durability, engineered from a heavy-duty rubber compound that delivers reliable grip across varied terrain whilst resisting the abrasion and tearing that can occur when driving over sharp rocks, roots, and rough ground. The distinctive tread pattern incorporates multiple layers of biting edges—essentially thousands of small contact points—that dig into the surface and generate mechanical grip independent of tyre softness, meaning you'll enjoy confident traction whether you're accelerating, braking, or cornering at speed. The inclusion of foam inserts, pre-installed by Traxxas, ensures that the tyres maintain their shape under load and provide consistent handling throughout long driving sessions. The 2.8-inch diameter wheels are optimised for the 1/10 scale platform, offering the perfect proportions for the WideMaxx chassis and ensuring that ground clearance, suspension geometry, and weight distribution remain within the design parameters Traxxas engineered into this platform. The 17mm splined hex connection is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring a secure, wobble-free fit that maintains alignment and handling precision even after repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. The dual-profile wheel design provides structural strength whilst keeping overall unsprung weight to a minimum, critical factors in maintaining responsive handling. With TSM-rating confirmation, these tyres have been subjected to Traxxas' rigorous testing protocols at high speeds and on demanding surfaces, giving you confidence that they'll perform reliably and consistently whether you're running casually in your garden, at your local RC racing club, or pushing your monster truck across challenging outdoor terrain.
