Traxxas Pro Scale Sand Car Assembled Wheel Tyre Set Rear Pair TRX10947

Overview

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled, Glued (Pro Scale Sand Car Race black wheels, Gravix tyres, foam inserts) (rear) (1 left, 1 right) TRX10947 represents the perfect upgrade for your high-performance RC sand car. These are not wheels and tyres you need to assemble yourself — they arrive ready to install, pre-glued to precision-engineered wheels using Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, the same professional-grade adhesive that holds the tyres on the legendary XO-1 at over 100 mph. If you're running a brushless or high-powered RC vehicle and demand maximum traction, durability and reliability, these rear wheels deliver the performance you need. Whether you're a dedicated racer competing at the track, a weekend basher pushing your machine to its limits, or someone upgrading an existing Traxxas RC car in the UK, these wheels and tyres are engineered to perform consistently at the highest levels.

Supplied as a left and right pair, these ready-to-run wheels fit 24 mm splined hex hubs and are compatible with the full range of Pro Scale and Ultimate Traxxas sand cars, including the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S Sand Car, X-Maxx Ultimate, and XRT Ultimate models. You can have confidence that you're installing genuine Traxxas components that have been tested and refined through years of development and competition use.

Key Features

• Low-Profile Gravix Race Tyres — The Gravix tyre range is specifically designed to run hard on pavement and in off-road conditions, combining the quieter operation of a road tyre with genuine all-terrain capability. This means you get traction in diverse environments without the excessive noise of traditional off-road tyres.
• Directional Tread Pattern — The tread design is directional, meaning each tyre is optimised for rotation in one direction only. This asymmetrical design reduces noise significantly compared to traditional off-road tyres whilst delivering excellent grip in all conditions.
• Thick Centre Carcass Construction — The tyres feature a reinforced centre carcass that prevents ballooning at high speed. When your RC vehicle is accelerating hard or cornering aggressively, the tyre structure stays true and doesn't flex excessively, which would rob you of precision handling and steering response.
• Dual-Profile Black Sand Car Wheels — The wheels are designed with a dual-profile shape that complements the Gravix tyre geometry. The black finish gives a race-ready appearance that works with any colour scheme.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre comes with foam inserts already installed. These inserts help the tyre maintain its shape, reduce sponging during acceleration and cornering, and provide consistent handling characteristics throughout your driving session.
• Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued — Unlike separate wheels and tyres that require you to source glue, prepare the bonding surfaces, apply adhesive and wait for it to cure, these wheels and tyres arrive ready to bolt onto your RC sand car. This saves hours of preparation time and eliminates the risk of improper gluing that could cause tyre separation.
• Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue Bond — The glue used in the factory assembly is Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue (part number 6468), a super-strong cyanoacrylate adhesive developed specifically for extreme performance. This is the only glue on the market rated for brushless motors delivering extreme horsepower, making it suitable for the most demanding RC applications.
• Left and Right Configuration — Supplied as a matched pair with one left and one right tyre, these wheels are ready to mount on the rear axle of your sand car without any need for orientation decisions or additional customisation.
• 24 mm Splined Hex Compatibility — These wheels fit the standard 24 mm splined hex hubs found on Traxxas Pro Scale and Ultimate models, ensuring perfect fitment with zero modification required.

Technical Performance

The engineering behind these wheels and tyres reflects Traxxas's commitment to performance at the highest levels of RC competition. The Gravix tyre compound has been formulated to provide consistent grip across a wide range of surfaces and temperatures. The directional tread pattern reduces rolling resistance compared to traditional knobby off-road tyres, allowing your brushless motor to convert more power directly into forward motion and less into noise. The thick centre carcass prevents tyre ballooning — a common problem where the tyre deforms under centrifugal force at high speed, reducing contact patch and creating unpredictable handling. This construction ensures that whether you're running 3S, 4S or even 8S LiPo battery systems, the tyre maintains its intended shape and delivers predictable handling. The foam inserts further enhance performance by absorbing minor vibrations and reducing the spongy feeling that can develop when tyres wear or when temperature changes affect tyre pressure. Combined with the dual-profile wheel design, these components work together to deliver the precision handling and acceleration response that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue used in factory assembly provides a molecular bond that actually becomes stronger over time, making these wheels suitable for extended competitive use and even re-running after a crash if you need to replace just one tyre.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres ready to install on my Traxxas RC sand car? — Yes, completely. These wheels arrive pre-mounted and pre-glued using the same professional-grade adhesive that Traxxas uses in its factory. You simply remove them from the packaging and bolt them onto your vehicle's 24 mm hex hubs. There is no gluing, no surface preparation and no curing time required.
• What vehicles do these wheels fit? — These rear wheels are compatible with all Traxxas Pro Scale and Ultimate sand cars that use 24 mm splined hex hubs, including the Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car (available in red, blue, orange and green), the X-Maxx Ultimate, and the XRT Ultimate.
• Can I use these wheels on the front of my RC car? — These are specifically designed as rear wheels for sand cars. Traxxas makes front wheel options separately. Check the compatibility list to confirm which front wheels match your model.
• What makes the Gravix tyre special compared to standard off-road tyres? — The Gravix tyre combines a directional tread pattern with a thick centre carcass. This design delivers all-terrain traction and grip while running significantly quieter than traditional knobbly off-road tyres. The thick centre carcass also prevents ballooning at high speed, which is critical for brushless motors that can push speeds well over 60 mph.
• Can I replace just the tyre if it wears out, or do I need to buy new wheels? — These wheels come glued with Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, which creates a very strong permanent bond. If you want the option to swap tyres without purchasing new wheels, Traxxas makes beadlock rim options (such as the TRX10948-series beadlock rings) that allow you to clamp tyres mechanically instead of gluing them. That said, the factory glue bond is extremely durable and designed to last through extensive racing.
• What is the difference between these and other Traxxas wheel and tyre options? — Traxxas offers many wheel and tyre combinations optimised for different environments and driving styles. The Gravix tyres specifically are designed for high-speed racing on mixed terrain, combining street-like quiet operation with genuine off-road traction. They are ideal for sand car and high-speed buggy applications. Other options in the Traxxas range include All-Terrain tyres for true off-road use, Canyon Trail tyres for rock crawling, and racing slicks for pure pavement speed.
• How do I know if my Traxxas vehicle uses 24 mm hex hubs? — All modern Traxxas Pro Scale and Ultimate models use 24 mm splined hex hubs as standard. Check your vehicle's manual or the product page for your specific model to confirm.
• Will these tyres work with my 3S LiPo battery or do I need 8S like the sand cars? — These wheels and tyres are designed to work with any battery voltage that your RC vehicle supports. Whether you're running 3S, 4S or 8S LiPo, these wheels will perform well. The Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue is specifically rated to handle extreme power delivery from brushless motors, so these are equally suitable for lower-voltage and higher-voltage setups.
• Can these wheels be used for bashing or do I need them for racing? — Absolutely, these wheels work great for recreational bashing, weekend driving and competitive racing. The robust construction with thick centre carcass and professional-grade glue means they'll handle both aggressive recreational driving and the demands of the track.
