Key Features

• 2.8 inch wheel diameter — The 2.8" size is the industry standard for 1/10 scale trucks, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance and traction while maintaining authentic scale proportions with your RC vehicle.
• RXT black wheels — Traxxas RXT wheels are engineered for strength and precision, offering consistent performance across multiple driving styles and offering an aggressive look that complements modern RC truck designs.
• Talon Extreme tyres — These premium off-road tyres feature advanced tread patterns engineered to deliver superior grip on both hard and soft surfaces, ensuring predictable handling and maximum cornering performance during competitive driving or weekend bashing.
• Pre-assembled and glued — Both wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres already mounted and glued, eliminating the need for separate preparation and allowing you to install them on your RC truck immediately without additional setup time.
• Foam inserts included — The integrated foam inserts provide essential support within the tyre, absorbing impacts and preventing tyre deformation during aggressive driving, which helps maintain consistent performance and extends the service life of your tyres.
• 12mm hex connector — The universal 12mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with all modern 1/10 scale RC trucks, including the Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 and other vehicles in this class, making installation straightforward and reliable.
• TSM rated — These wheels are rated for use with Traxxas Stability Management systems, ensuring they work harmoniously with your truck's traction and handling control systems for optimal driving dynamics and predictability.
• Front and rear compatible — This set can be fitted to both the front and rear of your 4WD electric truck, or used for front fitment on 2WD electric vehicles, providing flexibility in how you configure your RC car.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheels and tyres have been engineered to the highest standards of precision and performance expected from the leading RC manufacturer. The RXT black wheels combine strength with lightweight construction, maintaining structural rigidity during high-speed cornering and aggressive landings whilst keeping rotating mass to a minimum. The Talon Extreme tyres are constructed with advanced rubber compounds that deliver exceptional grip across diverse terrain types — from smooth tarmac to loose gravel and hard-packed dirt — ensuring your RC truck maintains predictable traction regardless of driving conditions. The foam inserts serve a critical function in the overall performance equation; they prevent tyre ballooning under acceleration and braking, maintain consistent tyre geometry during cornering, and help absorb landing shocks that would otherwise transmit directly through the wheel rim to your suspension and chassis. The 2.8" diameter specification makes these wheels compatible with 1/10 scale RC trucks, providing an authentic appearance whilst delivering the ground clearance and traction characteristics necessary for competitive and recreational driving. The 12mm hex connection is the industry standard for this class of vehicle, ensuring reliable power transfer from the driveshaft to the wheel without slippage or play. Whether you're running a 4WD electric RC truck at the front and rear, or a 2WD electric truck at the front only, these wheels will deliver consistent performance and durability across thousands of driving cycles.
