Traxxas Wheels Tyres Assembled 2.8in Black Chrome Sledgehammer TRX9072

Overview

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled, Glued (Black Chrome 2.8in Wheels, Sledgehammer Tyres, Foam Inserts) (2 pcs) (TSM Rated) TRX9072 represents the perfect solution for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand professional-quality wheels and tyres ready to install immediately. These pre-assembled and factory-glued wheel and tyre combinations eliminate the time-consuming process of mounting and gluing your own wheels, allowing you to get your RC car UK onto the track or bashing course in minutes rather than hours. Whether you're running a brushless RC truck, setting up a competition-grade vehicle, or simply upgrading your existing model, these Sledgehammer tyres mounted on premium black chrome wheels deliver the performance and aesthetic appeal that serious RC hobbyists expect.

Traxxas has engineered these wheel and tyre assemblies to deliver exceptional grip, durability and visual impact. The black chrome 2.8-inch wheels provide a striking metallic finish that complements any colour scheme, whilst the Sledgehammer tyres are engineered specifically for high-traction performance across a variety of terrain types. Unlike purchasing wheels and tyres separately and attempting to glue them yourself, these factory-assembled units are mounted with Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue—the same professional-grade adhesive that keeps tyres on the legendary 100+ mph XO-1 at extreme RPM. This guarantees maximum holding power and reliability, even under the most demanding driving conditions.

These TSM-rated wheels and tyres are compatible with a range of 1/10 scale Traxxas vehicles, including the Stampede 4X4 HD VXL and other truck models that feature 12mm hex fittings. TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) rating ensures that these components meet Traxxas' rigorous standards for stability and performance, giving you complete confidence in their quality and longevity.

• Foam Inserts Included — The foam inserts are pre-mounted within each tyre, providing essential support to maintain tyre shape, reduce flex during hard cornering, and improve overall handling consistency across different driving surfaces.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas Sledgehammer wheel and tyre assemblies represent the pinnacle of factory-assembled quality for 1/10 scale RC trucks and monster trucks. The 2.8-inch diameter wheels provide the perfect balance between ground clearance and on-track responsiveness, whilst the black chrome finish delivers a professional, premium appearance that catches light beautifully during both daytime and night-time driving sessions. The Sledgehammer tyres are engineered using a compound formula that delivers progressive grip levels—starting with excellent bite during initial acceleration and cornering, then maintaining consistent grip throughout extended driving sessions as the tyre surface warms up. The tread pattern is specifically designed to channel loose material (soil, grass, gravel and sand) away from the contact patch, maintaining traction in conditions where other tyres would lose grip. The foam inserts provide critical internal support without adding excessive weight, keeping the overall assembly lightweight whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for high-speed runs and aggressive handling. The adhesive bond between tyre and wheel is accomplished using Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, a super-strong cyanoacrylate formulation that was specifically developed during the engineering of the XO-1 to withstand the extreme centrifugal forces generated at speeds exceeding 100 mph. This same bonding technology ensures that your Sledgehammer tyres will remain absolutely secure during any driving conditions, whether you're bashing casually with friends, competing in local RC racing events, or pushing your truck to its absolute limits on challenging terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheel and tyre assemblies ready to install straight from the box? — Yes, absolutely. These components arrive fully assembled and glued with Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, so you can install them directly onto your 12mm hex-equipped RC truck without any additional preparation or assembly work. Simply unbox them and bolt them on using your existing 12mm hex adaptors or hubs.
• What vehicles are these Sledgehammer wheels and tyres compatible with? — These 2.8-inch wheels with 12mm hex fitment are compatible with 1/10 scale Traxxas vehicles including the Stampede 4X4 HD VXL and other truck models that feature 12mm hex connections. Always check your specific model's specifications to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• Will these tyres work on my ready to run RC truck? — Providing your RC truck features 12mm hex wheels and is a 1/10 scale model, these Sledgehammer tyres should be compatible. However, you should verify your specific vehicle model's compatibility with 2.8-inch wheels before purchasing, as some models may use different wheel sizes.
• Can I customize the wheel colour or tyre tread? — These assemblies come specifically with black chrome wheels and Sledgehammer tyres as shown. If you want different options, Traxxas offers other wheel colours and tyre compounds available separately, which you can mount and glue yourself using Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue and the proper mounting techniques.
• How long will the glue bond last, and can I re-glue these tyres if they separate? — The Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue creates a permanent bond that is engineered to withstand extreme speeds and centrifugal forces. In normal use, the glue bond should last for the entire lifespan of the tyre. If a tyre does become loose or separate, you can remove it carefully and re-glue it using fresh Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue and the standard mounting procedure outlined in Traxxas support materials.
• Do these wheels have beadlock rings? — No, these wheels do not feature mechanical beadlock rings. Instead, they rely on the permanent bond created by Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue to keep the tyres securely mounted. This design has been proven effective across a wide range of driving conditions and is the standard for most high-performance Traxxas vehicle applications.
• Can I vent these tyres for better performance? — The wheels already feature factory-installed vents in the rims that allow air to flow in and out. If you want additional venting, this is best accomplished before mounting the tyres. After they are glued and assembled, additional venting would require carefully punching holes through the tyre tread, which should only be attempted if you have appropriate tools and experience.
• What is TSM rated? — TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) rating means these wheels and tyres have been certified by Traxxas to meet the company's strict performance and quality standards. TSM is a stability control system found on select Traxxas vehicles, and TSM-rated components are engineered to work optimally with these systems whilst also being compatible with standard Traxxas vehicles.
