Overview

Upgrade your Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale Sand Car with this professional-grade wheel and tyre package, specifically engineered for high-performance sand car racing. These Traxxas Wheels & Tyres come fully assembled and pre-glued, ready to install in minutes without any additional preparation required. Whether you're a competitive RC racer, a weekend basher, or exploring brushless RC vehicles for the first time, this ready-to-run component will transform your driving experience with superior grip and stability on sand and loose terrain.

The TRX10972 represents Traxxas's commitment to quality and performance, featuring the company's proprietary Pro Scale Sand Car black wheels paired with dual-profile Arrow tyres that deliver exceptional traction across diverse driving conditions. These aren't generic wheels—they're purpose-built for the demands of modern 8S brushless RC sand cars, with engineering that echoes the same philosophy that went into Traxxas's legendary high-speed vehicles. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're investing in genuine Traxxas products backed by expert knowledge and comprehensive customer support.

Perfect for UK RC enthusiasts looking for quality components that offer real performance gains, this wheel and tyre set combines factory precision with field-proven durability. The pre-glued construction means you skip the technical assembly stage entirely, getting straight to the driving action with confidence that your wheels are bonded using Traxxas's own Ultra Premium Tire Glue formula—the same adhesive trusted to hold tyres at over 100 mph on the XO-1 supercar.

Key Features

• Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued — These wheels arrive fully constructed and bonded using Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, eliminating the need for time-consuming DIY assembly and allowing you to install them on your vehicle immediately without any additional preparation or waiting for adhesive to cure.
• Pro Scale Sand Car Black Wheels — Specifically designed for sand car racing, these wheels feature a sleek black finish that complements the aesthetics of modern RC sand cars while providing the structural integrity required for high-speed performance and aggressive driving.
• Dual-Profile Arrow Tyres — The innovative dual-profile design combines a 3.2-inch outer diameter with a 4.9-inch inner diameter, creating two distinct tread patterns that work together to maximise traction on sand and loose surfaces whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics.
• Integrated Foam Inserts — Precision-engineered foam inserts are included within each tyre to provide damping, maintain tyre shape at high speeds, and prevent pinch-flats during aggressive cornering or impact with obstacles.
• Left and Right Pair Configuration — This package includes one left-hand wheel and one right-hand wheel, specifically matched and oriented to deliver balanced handling and directional performance that prevents understeer or oversteer.
• Factory-Grade Glue Bond — Assembled using Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue—the same high-performance cyanoacrylate adhesive developed for extreme Velineon-powered vehicles—ensuring your tyres remain securely bonded even under the centrifugal forces generated at high RPM.
• Horizontal Bead Design — Traxxas uses horizontal bead construction on these tyres, which offers maximum resistance to tyre separation due to centrifugal force, making this design the preferred choice for all brushless and brushless-ready RC sand cars.
• Mould-Release Agent Removed — The bonding surfaces have been cleaned with isopropyl alcohol during factory assembly to remove manufacturing mould-release agents, ensuring maximum adhesive strength and preventing premature tyre separation.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheel and tyre assemblies represent the pinnacle of RC component engineering, combining precision manufacturing with real-world performance validation. The dual-profile tyre design is a sophisticated solution that addresses the complex demands of sand car racing, where loose terrain requires both gripping power and sidewall flexibility. The 3.2-inch outer diameter and 4.9-inch inner diameter measurements are not arbitrary—they're precisely calculated to work with the suspension geometry and drivetrain ratios of the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S sand cars. The foam inserts are engineered to provide optimal damping characteristics without adding unnecessary weight, maintaining the vehicle's responsive handling whilst protecting the tyre structure from destructive pinch-flats during high-speed cornering. The horizontal bead construction means the tyres grip the wheel channels with mechanical advantage, especially important on brushless vehicles where the extreme power available can generate significant centrifugal force at full throttle. The factory application of Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue—a super-strong cyanoacrylate formulation developed specifically for high-performance applications—ensures these tyres will remain securely attached even during sustained high-RPM running. The black wheel finish is not merely cosmetic; it's engineered to provide UV resistance and thermal management during extended driving sessions. Compatible exclusively with the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car in all available colours (Orange, Green, Red, and Blue), these wheels deliver the performance characteristics that Traxxas engineers specified when designing the vehicle's overall suspension and handling balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres ready to install straight out of the box? — Yes, these components arrive fully assembled and pre-glued using factory-applied Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue. You can install them on your Funco Motorsports Pro Scale sand car immediately without any additional assembly, gluing, or curing time required.
• What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These TRX10972 front wheel and tyre assemblies are specifically designed for the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car, available in Orange, Green, Red, and Blue colour variants. They are not compatible with other Traxxas models.
• What makes the dual-profile tyre design special? — The dual-profile design combines different tread patterns across the 3.2-inch outer and 4.9-inch inner diameters to optimise traction on sand and loose terrain. This design provides superior grip whilst maintaining predictable handling and preventing the tyres from digging into soft surfaces too aggressively.
• How strong is the glue bond on these pre-assembled wheels? — Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue is a super-strong cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically developed to hold tyres securely at extreme RPM levels. This is the same glue formula trusted to keep tyres bonded on the 100+ mph XO-1 supercar, making it more than adequate for sand car use.
• Do these tyres include foam inserts? — Yes, precision-engineered foam inserts are pre-installed within each tyre. These provide essential damping, maintain tyre shape at high speeds, and prevent pinch-flats during aggressive cornering or impacts with obstacles on the track.
• Can I use these wheels on the rear of my sand car? — No, these are specifically front wheel and tyre assemblies (TRX10972). Traxxas designs different wheel and tyre packages for rear applications that are optimised for the weight distribution and handling characteristics of rear-mounted components.
• What tyre profile is best for sand driving? — The dual-profile design on these Arrow tyres is specifically engineered for sand driving, offering the ideal balance of grip and float. The innovative tread pattern prevents the tyres from sinking excessively into loose sand whilst providing sufficient edge grip for maintaining traction during high-speed manoeuvres.
• Are these wheels left and right specific? — Yes, this package includes one left-hand wheel and one right-hand wheel, precisely matched and oriented to deliver balanced handling. Directional tyres like these are designed to work as a pair to prevent handling imbalances.
