Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres Assembled 2.8" represent a significant advancement in ready-to-use wheel and tyre technology for 1:10 scale electric RC vehicles. The RXT black chrome wheels combine lightweight construction with robust durability, engineered to resist impacts and maintain their structural integrity through thousands of laps and bashing sessions. The black chrome finish not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance but also offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes. At 2.8 inches in diameter, these wheels are perfectly proportioned for Truggy and Stadium truck platforms, providing optimal ground clearance and speed characteristics for these vehicle classes. The 12mm hex fitting ensures positive engagement with standard RC vehicle hubs, eliminating the risk of slippage during acceleration, cornering or braking events. The Gravix tyres represent a remarkable engineering achievement, combining a soft rubber compound with strategically positioned sipes (small cuts in the tyre surface) that bite into the racing surface and generate traction through multiple contact points rather than relying solely on overall tyre pressure. This hybrid design approach delivers outstanding grip on hard-packed clay and dirt surfaces whilst simultaneously offering surprising performance on pavement and asphalt, making these tyres genuinely versatile across diverse track conditions. The densely packed biting edges create a complex contact patch that adapts to different surfaces, whilst the tyre geometry is optimised for precision handling and consistent cornering performance. Integrated foam inserts within each tyre prevent excessive roll and deformation during aggressive driving, maintaining predictable handling characteristics whether you're pushing hard through high-speed turns or navigating technical sections. The pre-glued construction has been performed using professional-grade adhesives that ensure the tyre remains securely bonded to the wheel rim throughout extended use, eliminating the common problem of tyre slippage or separation that can occur with poorly glued assemblies. These components represent genuine Traxxas engineering, manufactured to the same specifications used in competition, and suitable for application in both 4WD and 2WD platforms across the electric-powered 1:10 scale category.
