Key Features
- Extra-Wide Response Tyres (2.1 inch) — The extra-wide profile of these Response tyres provides a significantly larger contact patch with the road surface, which translates to superior grip and enhanced stability during cornering and acceleration. The wider tyre footprint is especially beneficial for maintaining control at higher speeds and during aggressive manoeuvres, making these tyres ideal for both racing applications and high-speed bashing where traction matters.
- Razor-Sharp Handling Characteristics — These tyres are specifically engineered to deliver razor-sharp handling feedback and responsiveness, allowing drivers to feel precise steering inputs and make micro-adjustments during competitive racing. The geometric design and rubber compound work together to reduce understeer and improve turn-in response, making them favourite choice for drivers who prioritise control and precision.
- Aggressive Tread Pattern — The tread design features an aggressive pattern optimised for pavement driving, with multiple sipes and edges that bite into the tarmac surface and maintain traction across a wide range of driving conditions. This aggressive tread pattern helps shed water on wet surfaces and provides consistent grip whether you're driving on dry concrete, wet tarmac, or slightly dusty tracks.
- High-Grip Rubber Compound — The tyres are manufactured from a premium high-grip rubber compound specifically formulated for enhanced friction and adhesion on paved surfaces. This compound maintains its grip characteristics across a range of temperatures whilst resisting excessive wear even during extended driving sessions, ensuring these tyres remain responsive throughout their lifespan.
- Split-Spoke Black Chrome Wheel Design — The distinctive split-spoke wheel design combines aesthetic appeal with functional benefits, allowing air circulation for cooling whilst maintaining structural rigidity. The black chrome finish provides a professional, high-quality appearance that elevates the visual presentation of your RC car, and the split-spoke design is a signature Traxxas specification favoured by competitive drivers and enthusiasts alike.
- Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued Assembly — These wheel and tyre assemblies arrive fully mounted and adhesively bonded, meaning they require no additional assembly, gluing, or technical preparation. You can unpack them from the box and install them directly onto your RC car's rear axle within minutes, significantly reducing setup time and ensuring factory-quality adhesive application without the risk of user error.
- Improved Grip and Enhanced Stability — The combination of extra-wide profile, aggressive tread, and high-grip compound creates a synergistic effect that dramatically improves your RC car's traction and directional stability. This is particularly noticeable during acceleration out of corners, when maintaining speed through high-speed turns, and when pushing the limits during competitive racing scenarios.
- Better Overall Handling — By increasing the contact patch and grip characteristics, these tyres allow your RC car's suspension to work more effectively, improving weight transfer and feedback. The result is a more planted, controllable vehicle that responds precisely to steering inputs and maintains more predictable behaviour across varying driving surfaces and conditions.
- Pair Quantity for Complete Rear Setup — This product includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing a full matching pair for the rear axle of compatible Traxxas models. Having matching tyres on both rear wheels ensures balanced handling characteristics and eliminates any asymmetrical response that could result from mismatched rubber.
- Durable Composite and Rubber Construction — The wheels are manufactured from durable composite materials that provide strength and consistency whilst keeping weight minimal, whilst the tyres utilise premium rubber compounds formulated for longevity. This combination ensures these components will withstand repeated aggressive driving whilst maintaining their performance characteristics.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX9371 represents a carefully engineered solution for RC enthusiasts seeking performance improvements in a bolt-on package. The 2.1-inch extra-wide Response tyre profile is a critical specification, as the wider footprint directly translates to increased surface area contact with the track, which is fundamental to achieving superior grip and traction on pavement surfaces. The high-grip rubber compound used in these tyres is formulated through extensive research and development specifically for tarmac driving conditions, and it maintains consistent performance characteristics across the temperature ranges typical in UK RC racing and recreational driving environments. The aggressive tread pattern features carefully positioned sipes and edges that maximise friction during acceleration and braking whilst maintaining stable cornering characteristics. The split-spoke black chrome wheels are engineered for both performance and aesthetics, with the spoke design allowing superior rigidity without excessive weight, and the black chrome finish providing UV resistance to maintain appearance through extended outdoor use. The pre-glued and pre-mounted assembly ensures that the adhesive bond quality meets Traxxas factory standards, eliminating variables that could result from manual gluing processes. These tyres are compatible with the rear axle specifications of various Traxxas models, though compatibility should be verified against your specific model manual. The tyre compound is engineered to perform consistently on dry tarmac, wet pavement, and slightly dusty surfaces typical of UK racing venues, making them versatile options for different seasonal conditions and track types. Build quality is consistent with Traxxas's reputation for manufacturing robust components capable of withstanding the high forces generated during competitive racing and enthusiastic bashing alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for beginners in RC car UK hobby? — Yes, absolutely. These components are classified as suitable for all skill levels from beginner to advanced. The pre-mounted and pre-glued design means beginners can install them without requiring special tools or technical knowledge, whilst experienced drivers appreciate the performance benefits they deliver for competitive racing. Simply remove the old rear wheels and tyres, and bolt on the TRX9371 assembly.
- What is the difference between these Response tyres and standard Traxxas rear tyres? — The TRX9371 features Response tyres specifically, which are known for their high-grip rubber compound and aggressive tread pattern optimised for pavement driving. The extra-wide 2.1-inch profile provides more contact patch than standard options, resulting in superior grip, improved stability during cornering, and more responsive handling characteristics. The Response compound and tread design make these particularly effective for drivers prioritising performance on tarmac surfaces.
- Will these fit my Traxxas RC car? — These wheels and tyres are designed for 1.9-inch wheel compatibility on the rear axle of various Traxxas models. However, compatibility varies between different Traxxas models and generations, so it is essential to consult your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm these will fit your specific model before ordering.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels myself? — No, the TRX9371 comes completely pre-mounted and pre-glued, ready to install directly onto your RC car. The factory adhesive bond ensures professional-quality assembly without requiring you to apply additional glue or perform any assembly steps. This also eliminates potential user error in the gluing process and guarantees consistent bond quality across both wheels.
- How do the split-spoke wheels compare to other wheel designs? — Split-spoke wheels offer an excellent balance of structural rigidity, lightweight construction, and distinctive visual appeal. The spoke design allows air circulation which aids in brake cooling during extended racing sessions, whilst maintaining the strength needed for high-performance driving. The black chrome finish provides a premium appearance and is more durable than standard painted finishes, resisting scratches and maintaining colour through regular use.
- Are these better for racing or bashing? — The TRX9371 excels in both applications. For racing, the razor-sharp handling and superior grip make them ideal for competitive events on tarmac surfaces. For bashing, the aggressive tread and high-grip compound provide confidence-inspiring traction during enthusiastic recreational driving. The durable construction ensures they withstand the demands of both uses.
- What surface types are these tyres optimised for? — These Response tyres are specifically engineered for pavement driving, making them ideal for dry concrete, tarmac, and similarly hard surfaces.
