Overview
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres Assembled set represents a premium replacement wheel and tyre package designed specifically for the Traxxas Mini Maxx brushless RC truck. These high-quality rear wheels feature distinctive green colouration and come complete with Sledgehammer tyres already mounted and glued, along with foam inserts for optimal performance. Whether you're looking for a replacement set after wear and tear, or seeking to refresh the look of your Mini Maxx RC car, these assembled wheels offer exceptional value and convenience. As an authorised Traxxas retailer in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas components that deliver the reliability and performance you expect from this world-renowned RC brand.
This is not a standalone product — it's an accessory designed to enhance your existing Mini Maxx. If you're new to RC hobbies in the UK and are considering purchasing a Mini Maxx to go alongside these tyres, you'll be joining thousands of enthusiasts who trust Traxxas for quality, durability and outstanding performance. The dual profile wheel design (2.1 inches outer diameter, 2.6 inches inner diameter) represents Traxxas engineering excellence, providing the perfect balance between grip and handling characteristics.
These rear wheels come as a pair (2 pieces), so you'll have both rear wheels ready to install. The foam inserts are essential components that provide cushioning and shock absorption, helping to maintain consistent handling whether you're bashing on rough terrain or running on smoother surfaces. For serious RC enthusiasts and casual bashers alike, keeping spare wheels and tyres is part of responsible RC ownership, ensuring you're always ready for the next session without downtime.
Key Features
- Dual Profile Wheel Design — The distinctive dual profile construction with a 2.1-inch outer diameter and 2.6-inch inner diameter has been engineered by Traxxas to optimise weight distribution and handling characteristics, allowing your Mini Maxx to respond precisely to steering inputs and maintain excellent grip in various conditions.
- Sledgehammer Tyres — Traxxas Sledgehammer tyres are renowned in the RC community for their durability, aggressive tread pattern and exceptional grip across multiple surfaces, meaning you can bash with confidence on dirt, grass, gravel and mixed terrain without fear of premature tyre wear.
- Pre-Assembled and Glued — These wheels arrive ready to install with tyres already mounted and permanently glued to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming assembly process and ensuring professional-grade glue application that won't let you down during high-speed runs.
- Foam Inserts Included — The integrated foam inserts provide essential shock absorption and maintain tyre shape under load, contributing to consistent handling, reduced wheel hop and improved overall control of your Mini Maxx during aggressive driving.
- Genuine Traxxas Quality — Manufactured to Traxxas' exacting standards, these wheels are authentic OEM parts that guarantee compatibility, durability and performance on your Mini Maxx, with quality control that far exceeds budget aftermarket alternatives.
- Green Colour Finish — The vibrant green finish gives your RC truck a distinctive appearance on the track or at the bash spot, standing out visually whilst maintaining the professional aesthetic that Traxxas is known for.
- Rear Position Specific — These wheels are designed specifically for rear fitment on the Mini Maxx, ensuring that weight distribution, handling bias and overall truck dynamics are optimised exactly as Traxxas engineers intended.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas assembled wheels represent the pinnacle of OEM RC component engineering. The dual profile wheel design combines a 2.1-inch outer diameter with a 2.6-inch inner diameter, creating an optimal footprint that balances ground clearance with stability. The Sledgehammer tyres mounted on these wheels feature an aggressive tread pattern specifically formulated for mini truck racing and bashing, providing exceptional grip on dirt, clay, grass and mixed terrain surfaces. The foam inserts are critical components that work in conjunction with the tyre construction to absorb impacts from jumps and rough ground, reducing wheel hop and maintaining consistent contact patch throughout aggressive driving sequences. The wheels are supplied as a pair for rear fitment, meaning you can replace both rear wheels in one go, ensuring perfectly matched performance left and right. As rear-specific wheels, they'll complement whatever front wheel setup you choose for your Mini Maxx, and the green colour creates a striking visual contrast. In the UK RC market, these wheels are recognised as industry-standard components for Mini Maxx owners who demand genuine Traxxas quality and don't want to compromise on reliability or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels ready to fit straight onto my Mini Maxx? — Yes, these wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres already mounted, glued and foam inserts installed. Simply remove your old rear wheels and install these new ones using the same wheel nuts and axles. No additional assembly or glue is required, saving you time and ensuring professional-grade installation quality.
- What is the difference between the 2.1-inch outer and 2.6-inch inner diameter measurements? — The dual profile design refers to the wheel structure. The 2.1-inch measurement is the outer diameter (the visible wheel edge), whilst the 2.6-inch inner diameter refers to the bead seat where the tyre meets the wheel. This dual profile design optimises the tyre's footprint and handling characteristics.
- Can I use these wheels on other Traxxas models? — These wheels are specifically designed for the Traxxas Mini Maxx and are listed as compatible with all colour variants of the Mini Maxx BL-2S (green, blue, black and orange models). They may not be compatible with other Traxxas models without verification, so check your specific truck's requirements before purchasing.
- How long do Sledgehammer tyres typically last? — Sledgehammer tyres are known for excellent durability, but lifespan depends on driving style, terrain and conditions. Aggressive bashing on abrasive surfaces will wear them faster than gentle trail running. Most owners get significant use from a set before needing replacement, making these wheels a cost-effective investment.
- Are foam inserts important for performance? — Yes, absolutely. Foam inserts are crucial for maintaining consistent tyre shape, absorbing impacts from jumps and rough terrain, reducing wheel hop and ensuring stable handling. Without proper foam inserts, your Mini Maxx's handling will suffer noticeably, particularly during aggressive driving or when landing jumps.
- What makes Traxxas wheels better than cheaper alternatives? — Traxxas wheels are engineered to exacting specifications and manufactured to rigorous quality standards. The dual profile design optimises performance, the fit and finish are superior, and genuine Traxxas wheels provide guaranteed compatibility and reliability. Budget alternatives often lack the precision engineering and material quality that Traxxas is known for, leading to poor handling and premature wear.
- Can I use these on rough terrain and grass? — Absolutely. Sledgehammer tyres are specifically designed for versatile terrain use, including dirt, clay, grass, gravel and mixed surfaces. The aggressive tread pattern provides excellent grip in off-road conditions, making these wheels ideal for bashing at parks, fields and dedicated RC tracks.
- Are these wheels available in other colours? — Yes, Traxxas offers the same wheel and tyre set in charcoal grey (model TRX10770-GRAY). The green version featured here offers a striking visual contrast with the Mini Maxx. Choose the colour that best matches your RC truck's aesthetic preferences.
