Key Features
- Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued Construction — These wheels arrive complete and ready for immediate installation, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly, alignment, and gluing procedures that can introduce inconsistencies and errors during the build process. This saves you valuable preparation time and ensures professional-quality fitment straight from the box.
- Integrated Foam Inserts — The foam inserts included with these wheels provide essential shock absorption and vibration damping during high-speed running and aggressive off-road driving, protecting your suspension components whilst improving overall ride quality and stability across varied terrain surfaces.
- X-Maxx Green Wheel Design — The distinctive green wheel finish matches the Traxxas X-Maxx Green vehicle colour options perfectly, creating a visually cohesive and professional appearance that reflects the quality engineering you expect from premium RC components.
- Maxx AT Tyres — The Maxx AT (All Terrain) tyre compound is specifically formulated to deliver exceptional grip across multiple surfaces including dirt, grass, asphalt, and mixed terrain whilst maintaining durability through extended running sessions without excessive wear or degradation.
- 17mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 17mm hex connection system ensures universal compatibility with a wide range of Traxxas X-Maxx models and optional suspension upgrades, giving you flexibility for future modifications and customisation.
- Front and Rear Position Flexibility — These wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions on your X-Maxx chassis, providing versatility in your setup configuration and allowing you to swap wheel positions to achieve different handling characteristics and tyre wear patterns.
- 8S Rated Performance Engineering — Every component within these wheel assemblies is engineered and tested to safely handle the extreme power delivery of an 8S LiPo battery system, ensuring reliability even during aggressive acceleration, high-speed cornering, and aggressive bashing sessions.
- Professional-Quality Gluing Standards — The tyre-to-wheel gluing process meets Traxxas manufacturing standards, ensuring the tyre will not separate from the wheel rim during hard cornering, jumps, or high-impact collisions that would cause inferior wheel assemblies to fail catastrophically.
- Large-Scale Wheel Diameter — The generous wheel diameter provides increased ground clearance, improved obstacle clearance during off-road running, and enhanced visual proportions that complement the impressive physical scale of the X-Maxx monster truck platform.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas X-Maxx wheels represent the pinnacle of RC wheel engineering for large-scale monster truck applications. The pre-glued construction eliminates the variables that introduce inconsistencies in amateur wheel assembly—improper glue distribution, air bubbles, and misalignment that compromise performance. Instead, each wheel undergoes factory quality control procedures ensuring that tyre sidewall consistency, bead seating, and rotational balance meet strict Traxxas specifications. The foam inserts serve a critical engineering function beyond basic cushioning; they absorb suspension spike loads that would otherwise transmit directly to your chassis components, extending the lifespan of bearings, driveshafts, and suspension linkages. The Maxx AT tyre compound is a sophisticated rubber formulation engineered specifically for the massive power delivery of 8S brushless systems, providing predictable traction characteristics across temperatures and surface conditions without the excessive rolling resistance that would compromise top speed or the tyre degradation that plagued earlier formulations. The 17mm hex fitting ensures secure engagement with your X-Maxx hub carriers, preventing the dangerous wheel slip that can occur with loose or worn connections. With a scale of 1:7 and large-scale wheel diameter classification, these wheels deliver the aggressive stance and impressive visual impact expected from premium RC monster truck components. Whether you're running your X-Maxx at full throttle across open fields or executing precision technical driving through obstacle courses, these wheels provide the engineering sophistication and proven reliability that distinguishes genuine Traxxas components from generic alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for all Traxxas X-Maxx models available in the UK market? — These wheels are compatible with the full range of Traxxas X-Maxx 8S models including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR variants in red, green, orange, and blue colour options, as well as the X-Maxx Ultimate series. The 17mm hex fitting is standard across all X-Maxx variants, ensuring perfect fitment without modification or adaptation.
- Do I need to glue these wheels myself? — No, the Traxxas X-Maxx Green wheels arrive pre-glued at the factory, meaning the tyres are already permanently bonded to the wheel rims using professional-grade adhesive. This eliminates the time-consuming and potentially error-prone task of hand-gluing wheel assemblies, allowing you to progress directly from unboxing to installation.
- What is the purpose of the foam inserts included with these wheels? — The foam inserts provide shock absorption and vibration damping during driving, protecting your suspension components from impact forces whilst improving traction and handling stability. The foam also helps maintain consistent tyre pressure characteristics and reduces the transmission of spike loads through your chassis, extending component lifespan.
- Can I use these wheels as replacement components for my existing X-Maxx? — Yes, these wheels are direct replacement components for most Traxxas X-Maxx models including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR in all colour variants and the X-Maxx Ultimate series. They mount directly onto your existing chassis using the standard 17mm hex connection without any modification or adaptation required.
- What is the difference between Maxx AT tyres and other Traxxas tyre options? — The Maxx AT (All Terrain) tyre compound is specifically formulated for versatile performance across multiple surface types including dirt, grass, and mixed terrain. Compared to alternatives like the Sledgehammer Belted tyres which optimise on-road speed, or the Canyon RT climbing tyres designed for vertical rock face ascents, the Maxx AT provides the balanced compromise suitable for general-purpose off-road driving and weekend bashing activities.
- Is 8S rating important for my driving style? — The 8S rating indicates these wheels are engineered and tested to safely handle 8S LiPo battery systems, which deliver 29.6 volts nominal and represent the extreme upper end of RC power delivery. If you intend to run your X-Maxx with an 8S battery, these wheels ensure compatible engineering rather than risking failure with underrated components. For lower voltage setups, 8S-rated wheels provide additional safety margin and durability.
- Will these wheels improve my RC monster truck's performance noticeably? — Yes, upgrading to genuine Traxxas wheels with professionally glued and balanced construction delivers measurable improvements in handling precision, traction consistency, and overall driving experience compared to lower-quality alternatives. The foam inserts improve suspension response, and the Maxx AT tyre compound provides superior grip across varied terrain surfaces.
- What maintenance do these wheels require? — These wheels require minimal maintenance beyond periodic cleaning to remove mud and debris. Inspect the tyre sidewalls occasionally for signs of cutting or damage, and ensure the hex fitting remains tight during regular pre-drive safety checks. The pre-glued construction eliminates the need for re-gluing procedures if properly maintained.
