For anyone serious about RC drag racing in the UK, having the right wheels and tyres can make the difference between winning and losing. The Traxxas Weld Satin Black Chrome wheels feature a distinctive multi-spoke design finished in elegant satin black chrome, which not only looks aggressive and professional but also helps dissipate heat during intense drag racing sessions.

The MT Drag tyres mounted on these wheels are purpose-built for straight-line acceleration and maximum traction off the line. Drag racing requires tyres with specific compound properties and tread patterns optimised for launch grip, and Traxxas has engineered these MT Drag tyres to deliver exactly that. The included foam inserts provide the structural support needed to maintain optimal tyre shape under aggressive acceleration and braking forces, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap. This is a complete, ready-to-install wheel and tyre package that brings together quality wheel design, premium drag-specific rubber and professional assembly into one comprehensive solution.

Key Features

• Weld Satin Black Chrome Wheels — The distinctive satin black chrome finish provides a professional, competitive appearance whilst the multi-spoke design promotes excellent heat dissipation during intense drag racing sessions, helping maintain optimal tyre temperatures throughout your runs.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Weld Satin Black Chrome wheels represent premium drag racing engineering combined with professional manufacturing standards. Built to 1/10 scale specifications, these wheels are engineered to withstand the extreme forces generated during drag racing, where launch acceleration can reach forces multiple times your vehicle's weight in lateral and longitudinal directions. The satin black chrome finish isn't merely aesthetic—it serves a functional purpose by providing superior heat dissipation properties compared to standard wheel finishes, critical when your tyres are working at maximum grip during high-speed acceleration runs. The MT Drag tyres mounted on these wheels feature a specialised compound developed through extensive drag racing research and testing to deliver maximum coefficient of friction at launch, when the initial burst of acceleration generates the most traction demand. The foam inserts are precision-engineered to the exact specification needed for 1/10 scale drag racing, providing sufficient support to maintain tyre profile consistency without over-stiffening the ride. The dual profile design with its 2.2-inch outer and 3.0-inch inner diameter creates the authentic drag racing wheel proportions whilst optimising weight distribution and rotational inertia. With 12mm hex compatibility, these wheels install directly without adapters or modifications, maintaining structural integrity and precise wheel alignment critical for straight-line racing performance. The complete factory assembly and permanent glue application ensures that wheel and tyre are perfectly matched from the moment you receive them, eliminating variables that could affect consistency during competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for 1/10 scale drag racing? — Yes, these wheels are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale drag racing applications. The Weld Satin Black Chrome design and MT Drag tyres are optimised for straight-line acceleration and maximum launch grip, making them ideal for competitive drag racing on UK tracks and at events.
• Will these wheels fit my 1/10 scale RC car? — These wheels feature a standard 12mm hex fitting compatible with any 1/10 scale RC car that uses 12mm hex drive shafts. They are specifically designed for rear wheel applications, so they'll fit perfectly on the rear axle of your vehicle.
• Do I need to glue the tyres myself? — No, these tyres arrive factory pre-glued and permanently bonded to the wheels. This eliminates the need for any assembly or gluing work on your part, saving time and ensuring professional-standard glue application that you can trust from day one.
• What is the difference between these wheels and standard RC wheels? — These wheels are specifically engineered for drag racing rather than general RC use. The MT Drag tyres feature a compound and tread design optimised for maximum launch grip and straight-line acceleration, the satin black chrome finish provides superior heat dissipation, and the dual profile design is specifically proportioned for drag racing aesthetics and performance. Standard RC wheels are typically designed for general bashing or circuit racing and lack these drag-specific optimisations.
• Can I use these wheels for circuit racing? — While these wheels can physically fit on a circuit racing vehicle, they are optimised for drag racing performance. For circuit racing, you would benefit from wheels and tyres specifically engineered for cornering grip and sustained speed, rather than the launch-focused design of drag racing tyres.
• Are these wheels available in other colours? — Yes, Traxxas offers similar Weld wheels in other finishes including gloss black and chrome with black options, allowing you to choose the wheel style that best matches your vehicle's colour scheme and personal preferences.
• What vehicles do these wheels fit? — These rear wheels fit any 1/10 scale RC car with 12mm hex fitting compatibility. They are rear-position specific, so they should be installed on the rear axle of your drag racing vehicle.
