Key Features
- Chrome Finish — The distinctive chrome coating provides a realistic, eye-catching appearance that enhances the scale detail and visual impact of your 1:10 RC crawler. This premium finish is instantly recognisable and adds genuine character to your model without compromising durability.
- 1.9-Inch Diameter — Specifically engineered for 1:10 scale TRX-4 platforms, the 1.9-inch wheel size delivers correct proportions and scale accuracy. This size is optimised for rock crawling and trail performance, providing the right ground clearance and traction characteristics for off-road driving.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The universal 12mm hexagonal hub connection ensures straightforward installation on any Traxxas TRX-4 model. This standardised fitting system means you can swap wheels quickly without requiring special adapters or tools.
- Includes Centre Caps and Decal Sheet — Each wheel comes complete with centre caps for a finished appearance, plus a decal sheet to personalise your setup. The included decals allow you to customise the wheels further and add additional visual detail that matches your model's theme.
- Front and Rear Compatible — These wheels are suitable for both front and rear axle positions on your TRX-4, giving you flexibility in how you configure your suspension and steering geometry. This versatility means you can use them across different build configurations.
- Plastic Construction — The durable plastic material keeps weight down whilst maintaining rigidity needed for trail and rock crawling applications. Plastic wheels are forgiving on obstacles and less prone to damage than metal alternatives, making them ideal for challenging terrain.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Chrome Wheels TRX8175 are engineered specifically for 1:10 scale rock crawlers and represent the precision manufacturing standards Traxxas is renowned for. The wheels measure 1.9 inches in diameter and feature a 12mm hexagonal connection system that integrates seamlessly with all TRX-4 platform vehicles. The plastic construction provides an optimal balance between strength and weight, crucial for rock crawling performance where unsprung weight affects suspension articulation and traction. The chrome finish is applied to ensure longevity through various weather conditions and typical RC usage, maintaining its appearance through sand, water, and trail dust exposure that characterises UK off-road RC driving. The wheels are designed to work with standard tyres compatible with 1:10 crawlers, and the package includes two wheels along with matching centre caps and a decal sheet for personalisation. For correct installation, these wheels require Traxxas part number 8255A extended stub axles (sold separately), as referenced in the official specification. The engineering reflects Traxxas's commitment to quality that has made them the leading RC manufacturer in the UK and globally, with these wheels suitable for both casual weekend use and competitive rock crawling events.
