Key Features
- Factory-Glued Assembly — These wheels and tyres arrive completely glued and ready to install, saving you hours of preparation time and ensuring the same professional-quality bond that Traxxas uses in its own manufacturing process, eliminating the need to source and apply adhesive yourself.
- Method Racing Wheels with Blue Beadlock Design — The distinctive Method Racing wheels feature a striking black finish complemented by blue beadlock styling, offering both exceptional visual appeal and the mechanical advantage of beadlock construction that keeps tyres securely mounted under extreme driving conditions.
- BFGoodrich Baja KR3 Tyres — These legendary off-road tyres are engineered for superior traction, durability and performance across multiple terrains, providing the grip and reliability that serious RC drivers demand for competitive racing or high-speed bashers.
- Extreme RPM Rating — These tyres and wheels have been tested and proven capable of performing at the extreme speeds and centrifugal forces generated by modern brushless RC vehicles, ensuring they will not separate even at triple-digit velocities or during aggressive cornering.
- Professional-Quality Bond — The glue bond used in assembly is the same ultra-premium cyanoacrylate adhesive that Traxxas developed specifically for high-performance applications, the only formulation rated for extreme brushless horsepower and proven to hold tyres secure at over 100 mph.
- No Additional Preparation Required — Unlike loose wheel and tyre combinations, these arrive ready to fit, meaning no alcohol cleaning, no gluing, no curing time and no specialised tools needed before you can get your RC car UK set up and ready to run.
- Pair Configuration — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies in this package, providing a full set of tyres suitable for front and rear installation on compatible RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
The engineering excellence behind this product is immediately apparent when examining the construction and specifications. Traxxas developed their Ultra Premium Tire Glue specifically to address the extreme demands of high-performance RC vehicles, particularly brushless-powered models generating the kind of horsepower that creates extraordinary centrifugal forces at speed. The adhesive formulation was created in partnership with specialised experts and is the only glue rated for use with extreme Velineon brushless power systems. This level of engineering rigour ensures that the tyre-to-wheel interface remains absolutely secure, even under the most demanding driving conditions.
The Method Racing wheels feature a sophisticated design with horizontal bead channels that provide maximum resistance to tyre separation due to centrifugal force—this is precisely why Traxxas specifies this wheel design for all brushless and brushless-ready models. The BFGoodrich Baja KR3 tyres are specifically engineered for off-road performance, offering superior traction across varied surfaces whilst maintaining the durability required for extended driving sessions. The combination of wheel and tyre materials, the precision of the assembly process and the quality of the adhesive bond create a system capable of withstanding the rigorous demands of modern brushless RC vehicles. These wheels are finished in classic black with striking blue beadlock rings, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional beadlock mechanics that mechanically secure the tyre to prevent any possibility of separation during extreme acceleration, high-speed cornering or sustained high-rpm running. The pre-glued assembly guarantees consistency—every bond is applied with the same precision and care that Traxxas technicians employ, eliminating variables that might arise from home assembly and ensuring predictable, reliable performance from the moment you install them on your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres truly ready to install straight from the box? — Yes, absolutely. These arrive completely assembled with the tyres glued to the wheels using Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue. You simply need to install them on your RC vehicle using the appropriate hex adaptor; there is no cleaning, gluing, wrapping or curing time required.
- What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These wheel and tyre assemblies are designed for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Compatibility depends on your specific model's hub configuration and sizing requirements. Consult your vehicle's manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop for specific fitment verification, as different Traxxas models use different mounting systems.
- Why are pre-glued tyres better than mounting them myself? — Pre-glued assemblies offer several advantages: you receive the benefit of Traxxas's professional-grade Ultra Premium Tire Glue, which is specifically formulated for extreme brushless applications and is not available for retail purchase separately; the assembly is performed by experienced technicians using controlled processes that ensure consistent, reliable bonds; and you eliminate the time, mess and potential for errors that come with home mounting, allowing you to spend more time driving and less time on maintenance.
- Can I use these tyres on multiple wheels by removing them? — These tyres are permanently glued to these wheels. If you want the flexibility to swap tyres between wheels or experiment with different tread options, you would need to invest in optional beadlock wheels, which hold tyres mechanically without adhesive and allow tool-free tyre changes, though these wheels are more expensive upfront.
- Are these tyres suitable for high-speed driving? — These wheels and tyres are specifically engineered for extreme-performance applications. The BFGoodrich Baja KR3 tyres and the glue bond holding them to the Method Racing wheels have been validated at speeds exceeding 100 mph and under the extreme centrifugal forces generated by brushless RC vehicles, making them excellent for competitive racing and high-speed bashers.
- What makes BFGoodrich Baja KR3 tyres special? — The BFGoodrich Baja KR3 are legendary in the RC off-road community for delivering superior traction, durability and predictable handling across multiple terrain types. These tyres have been proven in competition and serious hobby use, offering the reliability and performance characteristics that experienced drivers trust when the results matter.
- Is there any maintenance required on pre-glued wheels and tyres? — Pre-glued assemblies require no maintenance beyond standard inspection for wear. Over time with heavy use, the tyres will wear and lose tread grip, at which point you would replace the complete assembly. Unlike beadlock wheels, you cannot simply swap worn tyres for fresh ones, so planning for eventual replacement is part of your long-term maintenance strategy.
- Why do some RC wheels use beadlock design? — Beadlock wheels feature a mechanical ring that clamps the tyre bead against the wheel channel, providing maximum resistance to centrifugal tyre separation. This design is especially valuable for brushless RC vehicles generating extreme horsepower, where traditional adhesive-only bonds might fail under extreme conditions. These Method Racing wheels feature beadlock styling as part of their premium design.
