Overview
The Traxxas Weld Chrome Wheels with Pre-Glued Drag MT Tyres represent the perfect wheel and tyre solution for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade or maintain their 1/10 scale drag racing vehicles. These professionally assembled and glued wheel and tyre combinations take the guesswork out of wheel fitment and tyre preparation, allowing you to focus on what matters most — enjoying your RC car. Whether you're a competitive drag racer, a weekend basher, or someone new to the world of RC vehicles, these ready-to-fit wheels deliver the quality and performance you expect from Traxxas, one of the most respected names in RC cars.
Pre-glued wheels and tyres have become increasingly popular among RC car enthusiasts because they eliminate the time-consuming and sometimes tricky process of gluing tyres to wheels yourself. The Weld Chrome finish on these wheels delivers a stunning aesthetic that catches the light beautifully, making your RC car stand out on the track or at the bash spot. The drag-focused tyre compound and design ensure optimal grip and stability during acceleration and cornering, which is essential for competitive drag racing or high-performance driving. These are genuine Traxxas components, manufactured to exacting standards and designed specifically for 1/10 scale vehicles.
These front wheels are compatible with a wide range of Traxxas 2WD models and come ready to bolt straight onto your chassis. The 12mm hex fitting ensures secure mounting and compatibility with standard Traxxas driveshafts and axles. If you're building a custom RC setup, upgrading existing wheels, or simply need replacement parts, the Traxxas Weld Chrome Wheels deliver professional-grade performance and appearance.
Key Features
- Factory Pre-Assembled and Glued — These wheels come completely assembled with the tyres already glued in place, saving you hours of preparation time and eliminating the risk of uneven tyre mounting or glue application. Simply unbox them and fit them to your RC car.
- Weld Chrome Finish — The distinctive Weld Chrome wheel finish provides a high-quality, reflective appearance that enhances the visual appeal of your RC car. This polished chrome aesthetic is popular among drag racing enthusiasts and gives your vehicle a professional, competition-ready look.
- Drag MT Tyre Compound — The drag-specific tyre formulation is engineered for maximum traction during acceleration, making these tyres ideal for drag racing competitions or high-performance street driving. The MT (Mud Terrain) pattern provides excellent grip characteristics across various track surfaces.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each wheel includes high-quality foam inserts that provide cushioning and support for the tyre, helping to maintain tyre shape during hard driving and improving handling characteristics. The foam also helps absorb impacts and vibrations for a smoother driving experience.
- 12mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of Traxxas 2WD models and provides secure, reliable wheel mounting. This standard fitting means you can easily swap wheels or mix and match components from different Traxxas sets.
- Front Position Specific — These wheels are specifically designed and balanced for front axle fitment on 2WD drag racing vehicles, where weight distribution and responsiveness are critical to performance. Using correctly positioned wheels optimises your vehicle's handling and stability.
- Genuine Traxxas Components — As an official Traxxas product, these wheels are manufactured to the same exacting standards as all Traxxas components. You can be confident in the quality, durability, and performance of these authentic parts.
- Pack of Two — This package includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing the pair you need for a complete front axle setup on most 1/10 scale 2WD drag racing vehicles.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Weld Chrome Wheels represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale drag racing wheel technology. Every aspect of these wheels has been engineered for performance, from the chrome-plated aluminium construction that provides both visual appeal and structural integrity, to the drag-specific tyre compound that delivers maximum acceleration grip. The Drag MT tyres are engineered with a specific tread pattern that optimises contact patch during launch, a critical moment in any drag race. The foam inserts work in concert with the tyre to absorb initial impact and vibration, allowing the tyre to maintain consistent contact with the track surface even under the extreme forces of acceleration. The 12mm hex fitting provides a secure mechanical connection that resists loosening during intense driving sessions. These wheels are built to Traxxas' strict manufacturing tolerances, ensuring perfect balance and symmetry across both units. The chrome finish is applied through professional electroplating processes that provide durability and resistance to oxidation, though like all exposed metal finishes, regular cleaning will maintain the shine. Whether you're competing in organised drag racing events or simply pushing your RC car to its limits, these wheels deliver the performance characteristics necessary for serious enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for 1/10 scale drag racing in the UK? — Yes, these Traxxas Weld Chrome Wheels are purpose-designed for 1/10 scale drag racing vehicles. The drag-specific tyre compound and design are optimised for acceleration grip and launch characteristics that drag racing demands. They're ideal whether you're competing in organised RC drag events or enjoying casual high-speed runs at your local RC club or bash spot.
- Do I need to glue these tyres onto the wheels myself? — No, that's one of the main advantages of purchasing pre-glued wheels. The tyres are factory-assembled and glued, so you simply unbox them and fit them straight onto your vehicle's axles. This saves significant preparation time and ensures professional-quality tyre mounting.
- What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — These wheels are designed for 1/10 scale Traxxas 2WD models with 12mm hex fittings. They're front-position specific wheels, so you'll want to pair them with appropriate rear wheels. Check your vehicle's manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop for specific model compatibility information.
- What is the difference between the Weld Chrome finish and other Traxxas wheel options? — Traxxas offers several wheel finishes including Weld Chrome, Satin Black Chrome, and Gloss Black. The Weld Chrome finish provides a classic, bright chrome appearance that delivers excellent visual impact. The Satin Black Chrome offers a more understated, darker aesthetic, whilst Gloss Black provides maximum contrast. The performance characteristics are identical; the choice is primarily aesthetic based on your personal preferences and your RC car's colour scheme.
- Can I use these wheels on both 2WD and 4WD vehicles? — These wheels are specifically designed for 2WD drag racing vehicles. Whilst the 12mm hex fitting is common across many Traxxas models, you should verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase. Our team can help you determine the correct wheels for your setup.
- How do I maintain and clean chrome wheels? — Chrome wheels should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to maintain their shine and prevent oxidation. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish. After driving in wet conditions, dry the wheels thoroughly. Occasionally, you can use a chrome polish to restore shine, following the product's instructions carefully.
- What tyre compound is used on these Drag MT tyres? — These tyres feature a drag-specific compound engineered for maximum traction during acceleration. The exact formulation is Traxxas' proprietary blend, optimised for 1/10 scale drag racing performance. The Drag MT designation indicates the tyre pattern and performance class.
- Is this a ready-to-run product? — These are wheel and tyre assemblies only — they don't represent a complete ready-to-run RC car. You'll need an RC car chassis (such as a Traxxas 2WD drag racing model) to use them. However, they are ready-to-fit — no assembly or gluing is required on your part.
