Key Features

• High-Performance Talon EXT Tyres — The Talon EXT tyres are specifically engineered to provide outstanding 4X4 traction on both dirt and grass surfaces, giving you superior grip when you need it most. Unlike standard tyres, these extend the usable lifespan of your wheels by resisting wear on hard pavement surfaces.
• Unique Anti-Ballooning Tyre Compound — The EXT tyre compound features a specially formulated design that actively resists "ballooning" at high speeds. This means your tyres maintain their shape and contact patch even when you're pushing your RC car to its limits, ensuring consistent handling and predictable performance during high-speed runs.
• RXT Black Chrome Wheels — These tough, durable wheels feature an attractive black chrome finish that looks fantastic whilst providing the structural strength needed for serious bashing and racing. The RXT wheels are specifically matched to work perfectly with Talon EXT tyres for optimised performance.
• Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued — One of the biggest advantages of this product is that the tyres come mounted and pre-glued onto the wheels, ready for out-of-the-box installation. This eliminates the need for specialist gluing equipment, adhesives, or the technical knowledge required to mount and glue tyres yourself, saving you time and frustration.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each wheel includes foam inserts that provide excellent shock absorption and help maintain tyre shape during cornering and high-speed driving. These inserts are essential for consistent performance and are included as standard.
• TSM-Rated for High-Speed Applications — The TSM rating indicates these wheels and tyres are specifically tested and approved for high-speed driving, giving you confidence that they'll perform reliably even when you're pushing your brushless RC model to its maximum velocity.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The universal 12mm hex fitting means these wheels are compatible with a wide range of 1/10 scale Traxxas vehicles, including both 4WD models at the front and rear, and 2WD electric models at the front. This versatility makes them a smart investment for anyone with multiple RC cars in their collection.
• 2.8" Diameter — The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is the standard size for 1/10 scale trucks, buggies and sport models, offering the perfect balance between ground clearance, acceleration and top speed. This size has been proven across countless RC racing and bashing applications.

Technical Performance

These assembled wheels and tyres represent a carefully engineered solution for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. The Talon EXT tyre compound has been specifically developed to deliver optimal performance across multiple surface types. The unique tread pattern and rubber formulation provide exceptional grip on loose surfaces like dirt and grass, whilst the durability of the compound means these tyres resist excessive wear when driven on harder pavement surfaces. The foam inserts work in conjunction with the tyre sidewalls to absorb shock and maintain consistent contact with the ground through corners and over obstacles. The RXT black chrome wheels are constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of high-speed driving, impacts with track barriers, and the general wear and tear of regular bashing. The TSM rating confirms that this wheel and tyre combination has been tested to perform reliably at speeds exceeding 60 mph, making it suitable for use with brushless RC vehicles and high-performance setups. The 12mm hex fitting is the industry standard for 1/10 scale models, ensuring broad compatibility across the Traxxas range and beyond. Whether you're replacing worn tyres on an existing vehicle or building a new RC car setup, these pre-assembled wheels and tyres eliminate common installation problems and deliver reliable, predictable performance straight out of the box.
