Key Features
- Pre-assembled and glued construction — These wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres already bonded to the rims, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting, balancing or gluing processes. This saves you significant setup time and ensures perfect factory-standard alignment every single time.
- RXT Orange wheels — The distinctive orange finish offers striking visual appeal whilst the RXT wheel design is engineered for strength and optimal weight distribution. The finish is colour-matched to complement Traxxas vehicles and maintains its appearance through extended use.
- Anaconda tyres — These premium tyres deliver exceptional grip and predictable handling characteristics across multiple surface types. The Anaconda compound provides excellent durability, resisting excessive wear even during aggressive driving sessions, and maintains consistent performance whether you're racing on dirt, asphalt or mixed terrain.
- Foam inserts included — Integrated foam inserts provide essential support structure within each tyre, preventing sidewall collapse during high-speed cornering and aggressive acceleration. The foam helps maintain tyre shape and consistency, leading to more predictable handling and safer operation.
- Dual compatibility for 4WD and 2WD electric RC models — These wheels are suitable for both 4WD electric front and rear fitment on compatible 4WD vehicles, as well as 2WD electric front-only applications, making them versatile across multiple vehicle platforms. This compatibility means one set can work across different models in your RC collection.
- Pack of two wheels — You receive a pair of complete wheel and tyre assemblies, which is ideal for replacing a damaged set or upgrading one axle of your RC vehicle. Many RC enthusiasts purchase multiple sets to rotate between front and rear positions or to have spares ready for track days.
- TSM rated compatibility — These wheels are rated for use with Traxxas Stability Management systems, ensuring full electronic integration and optimal performance with stability control features. This rating guarantees that your vehicle's advanced management systems will function correctly with these components.
- 12mm hex fitting — The standard 12mm hex mounting system ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles from Traxxas and other manufacturers. This universal connection point makes installation straightforward and allows easy wheel swapping between compatible vehicles.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled, Glued (2.8in) set represents the pinnacle of pre-assembled tyre engineering for 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles. The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is the industry standard for 1/10 scale stadium trucks, trug and short-course racing applications, providing an optimal balance between ground clearance, handling responsiveness and top speed potential. The Anaconda tyres utilise proven rubber compounds that have been tested extensively in competitive racing environments, delivering consistent grip levels whilst resisting the degradation that softer compounds may experience. The foam inserts are precision-cut to exact specifications, ensuring they provide adequate support without adding unnecessary rotational mass that would impact acceleration and deceleration performance. The RXT Orange wheels are manufactured from durable materials designed to withstand impacts and high-speed cornering forces typical of 1/10 scale electric RC racing. The pre-gluing process is completed in Traxxas's manufacturing facilities using industrial adhesive systems that create permanent bonds between tyre and rim, eliminating any risk of separation during use. These wheels are compatible with 2WD electric front-only applications as well as 4WD electric front and rear fitment configurations, making them suitable for Rustler, Slash, Stampede and other compatible vehicle platforms. The TSM rating confirms these wheels have passed Traxxas's compatibility testing and will perform optimally when used with vehicles equipped with Traxxas Stability Management electronic systems.
