Key Features

• Licensed Mickey Thompson ET Drag Tyres — These are genuine licensed reproductions of the iconic Mickey Thompson ET Drag slicks used in real drag racing, ensuring your RC car captures the authentic look and performance characteristics of a true drag racer. The licensing partnership guarantees accuracy in design and branding that casual imitations simply cannot match.
• Pre-Glued Foam Inserts — The foam inserts come factory-glued to the wheels, eliminating the need for you to purchase separate adhesive, wait for it to cure, or risk assembly errors. This factory-quality gluing ensures consistent performance and durability from day one, whilst saving you the time and expense of sourcing and applying adhesive yourself.
• Sticky Rubber Compound — The tyres are manufactured from a specially formulated sticky rubber compound that provides superior traction and grip off the line, which is absolutely critical in drag racing where getting off the line cleanly can be the difference between victory and defeat. This high-grip compound enhances acceleration and straight-line stability.
• Gloss Black Weld Wheels — The wheels feature the distinctive gloss black finish that defines the Weld brand in real motorsport, delivering show-quality aesthetics that complement any drag racing build. The premium finish resists fading and maintains its deep, lustrous appearance through multiple racing sessions and storage.
• Authentic Drag Racing Styling — Every visual element of these wheels is designed to capture the authentic appearance of genuine drag racing vehicles, making them an excellent choice for collectors and builders who appreciate detail and accuracy in their 1/10 scale models. This attention to authenticity extends to the overall visual impact of your finished RC vehicle.
• Sold as a Matched Pair — You receive two complete rear wheels, ready to bolt onto the rear of your 1/10 scale drag racing vehicle via 12mm hex fittings. Having a matched pair guarantees consistent handling and appearance across both rear corners of your model.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheels and tyres represent a precision engineering approach to 1/10 scale drag racing. The dual-profile design, featuring a 2.2-inch outer diameter paired with a 3.0-inch inner diameter, creates the distinctive look and weight distribution essential for drag strip performance. The foam inserts, already glued in place by Traxxas engineers, are engineered to provide the ideal combination of cushioning and support during hard acceleration and braking events. The sticky rubber compound used in the Mickey Thompson ET Drag tyres is formulated to maximise traction during launch, which is the critical moment in any drag race. The gloss black Weld wheels are manufactured to maintain their appearance under UV exposure and the rigours of repeated track use, ensuring your investment in quality wheels maintains its visual impact season after season. The 12mm hex fitting ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC vehicles in the market, making these wheels a versatile upgrade option for drag racing setups across multiple platforms. Quality control throughout the manufacturing process guarantees that both wheels in the pair are matched in weight, finish and performance characteristics, eliminating the variable of asymmetric handling that can occur with poorly matched wheel sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels pre-glued and ready to fit straight onto my RC drag car? — Yes, completely. The foam inserts come pre-glued to the wheels by Traxxas, so there is no need to purchase adhesive, wait for curing time, or risk assembly errors. Simply remove the wheels from the packaging and fit them directly to your vehicle's 12mm hex hubs. You can have them fitted and ready to race within minutes.
• What size are these wheels, and will they fit my 1/10 scale RC vehicle? — These rear wheels feature a dual-profile design with a 2.2-inch outer diameter and 3.0-inch inner diameter, and they mount via 12mm hex fittings. This 12mm hex standard is used on the vast majority of 1/10 scale RC vehicles, including Traxxas models, ARRMA vehicles, Losi cars, and many others. If your 1/10 scale vehicle uses 12mm hex hubs on the rear, these wheels will fit perfectly.
• Why are Mickey Thompson ET Drag tyres special, and how do they improve performance? — Mickey Thompson is a legendary name in real-world drag racing, and these licensed ET Drag tyres are designed to capture the authentic appearance and performance characteristics of those genuine racing slicks. The sticky rubber compound provides superior traction during acceleration off the line, which is the most critical moment in drag racing. This means better grip, more consistent launches, and ultimately faster reaction times and ET times at the drag strip.
• Can I use these as a replacement for damaged or worn wheels on my existing RC drag car? — Absolutely. If your current rear wheels are damaged, worn, or simply outdated, these Traxxas wheels offer a direct replacement solution for any 1/10 scale vehicle with 12mm hex rear hubs. They arrive pre-assembled and pre-glued, so installation is straightforward and requires no additional materials or preparation work.
• What is the difference between the 2.2-inch outer and 3.0-inch inner diameter specifications? — The dual-profile design means the wheel has a larger outer edge (2.2 inches in diameter) that creates the visual presence and defines the wheel's appearance, whilst the inner diameter (3.0 inches) is the measurement at the hub mounting point. This dual-profile construction is typical in drag racing wheel design, providing both aesthetic impact and the structural integrity needed for high-performance racing applications.
• Do these wheels come with instructions for fitting? — These are a straightforward bolt-on component designed for 12mm hex hubs. Simply position the wheel on the hex hub and tighten the retaining nut. No special tools, alignment procedures, or calibration is required.
