Key Features

• Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued Tyres — The Talon EXT tyres come already mounted on the RXT wheels and glued with precision, eliminating the need for you to source tyre mounting tools, glue, or spend time on the preparation process, allowing you to enjoy your RC vehicle immediately upon purchase.
• High-Performance Talon EXT Tyres — These all-terrain tyres are specifically engineered to dig into dirt and grass with outstanding traction for 4x4 vehicles, whilst the unique tyre compound provides extra durability on pavement surfaces, making them versatile across multiple terrain types.
• Resistance to Ballooning at High Speed — The Talon EXT tyre design actively resists ballooning (the expansion of tyres under centrifugal force at high speeds), which is critical for maintaining grip, handling predictability, and safety when driving at the top speeds that brushless RC cars are capable of achieving.
• TSM-Rated for High-Speed Applications — These wheels and tyres are rated for use with Traxxas Stability Management systems, which means they have been tested and approved for high-speed driving, giving you confidence in stability and control even during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The wheels feature a standard 12mm hex drive, making them compatible with a wide variety of Traxxas models, particularly the latest generation of 4WD and 2WD electric vehicles from the manufacturer.
• RXT Orange Wheels — The distinctive RXT orange wheel design provides excellent visual appeal and durability, constructed to withstand the demands of off-road RC racing and high-impact bashing scenarios.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre comes with a foam insert, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the tyre sidewalls, providing support during aggressive cornering, and helping to absorb impacts from rough terrain.
• Front and Rear Positioning — These wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions on 4WD electric RC vehicles, or for front-only installation on 2WD electric models, offering flexibility depending on your specific RC platform.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas wheel and tyre assembly represents a significant upgrade in performance and convenience for RC car enthusiasts across the UK. The 2.8-inch wheel size is the industry standard for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, providing an optimal balance between ground clearance, acceleration, and top speed. The Talon EXT tyre compound has been formulated to deliver exceptional grip characteristics across a variety of surfaces, from grass and dirt tracks to concrete and asphalt. The unique tread pattern and rubber formulation ensure that the tyres maintain their grip even as they heat up during extended driving sessions, which is crucial for maintaining consistent lap times and predictable handling in competitive settings. The foam inserts provided with each wheel are engineered to the correct density to support the tyre sidewalls without over-stiffening the overall setup, which would compromise ride quality and traction. The 12mm hex connection is a proven standard in the RC industry and ensures a secure, reliable fit on compatible vehicles. These wheels have been designed and tested by Traxxas engineers to work seamlessly with vehicles running 4S brushless power systems, delivering the performance and durability expected from a manufacturer with over 40 years of RC expertise.
