Overview
The Traxxas Anaconda Wheel and Tyre Set (TRX3773) represents the ultimate solution for RC enthusiasts looking to transform their 1/10 scale Traxxas vehicles into street-focused performance machines. These ready-to-bolt-on wheels and tyres are factory-assembled and pre-glued, delivering immediate out-of-the-box capability without the hassle of mounting and gluing tyres yourself. Whether you're upgrading a Stampede VXL, Rustler, or other compatible Traxxas model, the Anaconda tyres provide the grip and durability needed for serious on-road bashing across UK car parks, tennis courts, and smooth tarmac surfaces.
Designed specifically for street and parking lot performance rather than off-road terrain, the Anaconda tyre system has been engineered with a directional tread pattern and specially formulated compound that delivers exceptional grip and long-wearing characteristics. For RC car UK enthusiasts seeking ready-to-run RC components that actually work out of the box, this assembled tyre set eliminates the uncertainty of DIY tyre mounting and ensures professional results every time. The combination of futuristic All-Star chrome wheels and premium Anaconda rubber creates a complete package that serious bashers and casual drivers alike appreciate.
These tyres have earned recognition in the Traxxas community as essential upgrades for maximising street performance. When paired with suspension modifications and other performance enhancements, the Anaconda tyres help unlock the full potential of high-powered brushless RC models like the Bandit VXL, enabling confident, controlled acceleration and impressive handling characteristics on smooth surfaces.
Key Features
- Factory-Assembled and Pre-Glued — The wheels come ready to install with no additional gluing, mounting or preparation required, saving you time and ensuring professional tyre fitment every single time you use them.
- Specially Formulated Tyre Compound — The Anaconda tyres feature a specially engineered rubber compound that provides exceptional wear resistance and sticky traction characteristics, delivering long tyre life even with aggressive driving.
- Directional Tread Design — The directional tread pattern has been precisely moulded to optimise water evacuation and provide balanced handling feel across a wide range of speeds and driving conditions on tarmac surfaces.
- Moulded-Foam Inserts — Each tyre is fitted with moulded-foam inserts that work together with the directional tread pattern to create a balanced, responsive feel during high-speed on-road driving.
- All-Star Chrome Wheels — The futuristic All-Star wheel design combines striking aesthetics with proven performance, available in chrome finish for maximum visual impact on your RC car.
- Street-Optimised Performance — Unlike knobby off-road tyres, the Anaconda rubber is specifically formulated for tarmac and concrete surfaces, delivering superior grip and predictable handling characteristics on the road.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The standard 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with all modern Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles and integrates seamlessly with your existing setup.
- 2.8 Inch Wheel Diameter — The 2.8-inch wheel size is optimised for 1/10 scale truggy and stadium truck platforms, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance and street performance.
- Rear Position Tyres — These are specifically configured as rear tyres, delivering the traction needed for powerful acceleration and stability during high-speed runs.
- Sold Separately or as Set — Whilst included here as a matched pair, Anaconda tyres and All Star wheels are also available separately, giving you flexibility to build your perfect wheel and tyre combination.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Anaconda system represents engineering excellence in street tyre design for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. The specially formulated tyre compound has been developed specifically for on-road use, offering a dramatically different performance profile compared to traditional off-road knobby tyres. The soft compound grip level ensures maximum traction during acceleration launches whilst the durable rubber formulation resists premature wear even under sustained high-speed running. The moulded-foam inserts integrated into each tyre create a responsive feel that transfers steering input directly to the vehicle whilst absorbing small surface irregularities and maintaining predictable handling characteristics at speed. The directional tread pattern isn't merely aesthetic; it's engineered to channel water and debris away from the contact patch, maintaining grip even on slightly damp tarmac or concrete surfaces. At 2.8 inches in diameter, these wheels fit the truggy and stadium truck class perfectly, providing adequate ground clearance for casual street driving whilst maintaining the low ride height needed for responsive handling. The All-Star wheels themselves combine visual appeal with structural rigidity, and when paired with the sticky Anaconda compound, create a complete system that experienced RC drivers recognise as essential for serious street performance. Installation is straightforward thanks to the 12mm hex fitting, which is the industry-standard connection point on all modern Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles including the Stampede VXL, Stampede XL-5, Rustler VXL, and Rustler XL-5 models.
What's in the Box
- 2 x Anaconda Tyres mounted and pre-glued on All-Star wheels (1 left, 1 right rear configuration)
Compatibility and Vehicle Fitment
The TRX3773 is specifically designed for the following Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles: Stampede VXL, Stampede XL-5 Electric, Stampede, Rustler VXL, Rustler XL-5 Electric, and Rustler. These tyres represent a direct upgrade path from the factory-stock Alias off-road tyres, allowing you to maintain your original knobby tyres for dirt and grass running whilst dedicating the Anacondas exclusively to street and parking lot performance. This modular approach is particularly valuable for users who want to experiment with different surface types without committing to a permanent tyre change.
Performance Enhancement Context
In comprehensive street performance builds, the Anaconda tyres have proven their worth when combined with suspension modifications and drivetrain upgrades. Testing with a full street-build Bandit VXL equipped with lowered suspension (achieved using 5862 Aluminium Big-Bore shocks with appropriately sized spacers), upgraded 330 High-Torque steering servo, and a rear wing for aerodynamic downforce, the Anaconda tyres demonstrated their capability by enabling straight-line launches and stable high-speed running. With a 3-cell LiPo battery providing full brushless power, test vehicles equipped with these tyres achieved recorded speeds above 56 mph in controlled parking lot environments, with the sticky rubber providing the traction needed to put that power to the ground effectively. The soft compound grip and directional tread pattern proved essential for maintaining driver confidence during acceleration and cornering at these elevated speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Anaconda tyres suitable for beginners learning to drive RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. The Anaconda tyres are excellent for beginners because they come pre-glued and ready to install, eliminating the need for tyre mounting experience. Their predictable grip characteristics and directional tread pattern make them forgiving and easy to drive with, helping new RC enthusiasts build confidence quickly without struggling with vehicle setup complexity.
- Can I use Anaconda tyres on grass or dirt, or are they street-only? — Anaconda tyres are specifically optimised for tarmac, concrete and smooth surfaces. Whilst they will technically roll on grass or dirt, their smooth directional tread pattern and soft compound are engineered for street surfaces, and using them extensively off-road will cause rapid, premature wear. Keep your factory Alias off-road tyres for dirt duty and reserve the Anacondas exclusively for parking lots and smooth pavement.
- What is the difference between Anaconda tyres and the factory Alias tyres that come on Traxxas vehicles? — Alias tyres feature a traditional knobby, off-road tread pattern designed for grip in dirt and grass. Anaconda tyres have a street-ready directional tread, a softer and stickier rubber compound, and are specifically formulated for tarmac and concrete performance. The Anacondas deliver superior grip and lower rolling resistance on smooth surfaces, whilst the Alias tyres excel in loose terrain. Most UK RC enthusiasts own both and swap based on intended driving environment.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels myself? — No, the Anaconda tyres come factory-assembled and pre-glued to the All-Star wheels, ready to bolt directly onto your vehicle. This saves time, eliminates the mess and expense of purchasing separate tyre glue (item 6468), and ensures perfect fitment every time.
- What wheels do these Anaconda tyres come on? — The TRX3773 package includes Anaconda tyres pre-glued on futuristic All-Star chrome wheels, which are visually striking and structurally rigid for reliable performance.
- Are these rear tyres, or do they work front and back? — The TRX3773 is configured as rear tyres (1 left, 1 right). The Anaconda system is also available as front tyres separately, allowing you to purchase front and rear pairs as needed for your specific vehicle.
- What size are these wheels, and will they fit my Traxxas vehicle? — These are 2.8-inch wheels with 12mm hex fittings, designed for 1/10 scale Traxxas truggy and stadium truck class vehicles including Stampede and Rustler models. The 12mm hex is the industry-standard connection used across modern Traxxas 1/10 scale platforms, ensuring straightforward installation.
- How long do Anaconda tyres last compared to stock Alias tyres? — The specially formulated Anaconda compound is engineered for exceptional wear resistance and long tyre life, even under aggressive high-speed street driving. You'll achieve significantly longer tyre life on smooth surfaces compared to using knobby off-road tyres on tarmac, where the terrain mismatch causes rapid wear.
- Can I buy just the tyres without the wheels, or just the wheels without the tyres? — Yes, Anaconda tyres and All Star wheels are also sold separately, giving you flexibility to mix and match or upgrade individual components. However, purchasing them as a matched pre-glued set ensures perfect fitment and saves both time and money compared to sourcing components separately.
- What battery should I use with these tyres? — The Anaconda tyres themselves have no battery requirements; they're mechanical components. However, they're most effective on brushless-powered Traxxas models like the Stampede VXL or Rustler VXL, which typically use 2-cell or 3-cell LiPo batteries (7.4V or 11.1V). Refer to your vehicle's documentation for specific battery compatibility.
