Overview

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres Assembled set (TRX10575) represents the perfect upgrade or replacement option for RC drifting enthusiasts across the UK. These premium 1.9-inch diameter wheels and tyres come pre-mounted and ready to install, eliminating the need for complex assembly and allowing you to get back to the action faster. Whether you're upgrading an existing Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 model or building a complete drift setup, these graphite grey wheels with chrome rim detailing deliver both aesthetic appeal and serious performance credentials. The hard-compound drift tyres are specifically engineered for low-traction drifting, making them ideal for concrete and asphalt surfaces where smooth, controllable slides are essential to competitive driving.

Designed for 1/10 scale on-road RC cars, this wheel and tyre package represents Traxxas quality and durability. The 1.9-inch sizing is the standard diameter for 1/10 scale touring cars, making these tyres universally compatible across a range of Traxxas 4-Tec models and other vehicles in this scale class. RC car UK enthusiasts know that investing in quality wheels and tyres directly impacts handling, control, and the overall driving experience. This assembled package takes the guesswork out of the equation by pairing engineered components that work in perfect harmony.

Sold as a pair (rear wide configuration), these tyres feature a single dot marking indicating the hardest compound available in the Traxxas drift tyre range. This extreme hardness is the key to achieving epic drift angles and smooth power slides on challenging surfaces. For serious drifters looking to perfect their technique and compete at the highest levels, these hard-compound drift tyres paired with a spool differential setup create a machine capable of jaw-dropping sideways action.

Key Features

• Hard-Compound Drift Tyres (1 Dot Rating) — The single dot marking indicates the hardest compound in Traxxas's drift tyre range, providing minimal grip and maximum breakaway potential for controlled slides on rough surfaces like concrete and asphalt. This ultra-hard compound is essential for precision drifting where predictable tyre behaviour is critical to executing perfect line transitions.
• Six-Spoke Graphite Grey Wheel Design — The distinctive six-spoke wheel pattern is not only visually striking but also provides excellent structural rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile. The graphite grey finish with chrome rim detailing delivers a premium appearance that looks equally at home on track or in photographs.
• Chrome Rim Accents — Polished chrome rim detailing elevates the visual impact of these wheels, creating a tuner car aesthetic that appeals to serious RC enthusiasts who value both performance and appearance. The chrome finish adds durability and helps protect against corrosion and wear.
• Pre-Mounted and Ready to Install — Unlike bare tyres and wheels, this assembled package arrives ready for immediate installation. No gluing, mounting, or balancing required—simply bolt them onto your drift car and begin driving. This saves valuable time and eliminates potential installation errors.
• Wide Rear Configuration — The wide rear setup (rear wide) provides additional stability during high-speed drifting and helps distribute weight across a larger tyre contact patch, enhancing predictability during extended drift runs. This configuration is particularly effective for competitive drifting on circuit layouts.
• 1.9-Inch Standard Scale Sizing — As the standard diameter for 1/10 scale touring cars, these tyres maintain proper chassis geometry and suspension travel characteristics, ensuring optimal handling and performance with your 4-Tec 2.0 or compatible ready to run RC vehicle.
• Sold as a Pair — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing rear drift setup flexibility or serving as replacements for worn components. This two-pack pricing offers excellent value compared to purchasing individual wheels and tyres separately.
• Designed for Rough Surface Drifting — These tyres are specifically engineered for concrete and asphalt surfaces with abrasive characteristics. The hard compound resists deformation on rough pavement, maintaining consistent grip levels throughout extended drifting sessions and preventing excessive heat buildup that can soften softer tyre compounds.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas drift tyre and wheel assembly represents the culmination of extensive engineering focused specifically on low-traction drifting dynamics. The 1.9-inch diameter wheels maintain compatibility with the entire 1/10 scale Traxxas touring car range, particularly the award-winning 4-Tec 2.0 platform which features a modular chassis design and all-wheel-drive system engineered for quick steering response and predictable handling. The hard-compound drift tyres, marked with a single dot indicating the hardest available compound, provide dramatically reduced traction compared to standard road racing tyres. This reduction in grip is intentional and essential—it enables drivers to break traction in a controlled manner and maintain extended drift angles without the tyres suddenly regaining grip and snapping the car back into line. The six-spoke wheel design combines structural rigidity with a lightweight profile that minimises rotational inertia, allowing faster acceleration and more responsive handling changes during dynamic drifting. The graphite grey finish with chrome rim detailing not only delivers visual appeal but also provides protective coating against the inevitable impacts and abrasions that occur during serious drifting sessions on concrete and asphalt. For maximum drifting effectiveness, Traxxas recommends combining these hard drift tyres with a spool kit—which eliminates differential action entirely and ensures both rear wheels rotate at identical speeds, producing the smooth, predictable tyre slip essential to sustained drifts. The suspension geometry of the 4-Tec 2.0, featuring fully tunable oil-filled shocks with pressure bladders and X-ring seals, works in concert with these tyres to deliver the chassis balance required for consistent drifting performance across multiple sessions without significant setup changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these drift tyres suitable for road racing or track use? — No. These hard-compound drift tyres are specifically designed for low-traction drifting only. The extremely hard rubber compound provides minimal grip by design, making them unsuitable for standard road racing where traction and cornering grip are essential. They are optimised for concrete and asphalt surfaces where their low-grip characteristics enable controlled slides and drift behaviour.
• What Traxxas models are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — The 1.9-inch sizing makes these wheels compatible with all Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 models, which utilise the standard 1.9-inch wheel diameter for 1/10 scale touring cars. The 4-Tec 2.0 accepts standard 190mm and 200mm bodies and is available in models including the Ford GT, Ford Mustang GT and various other variants. Note that 4-Tec 3.0 models feature larger-diameter wheels and cannot use these 1.9-inch tyres.
• Why is the tyre compound marked with a single dot? — The single dot marking indicates the hardest available compound in the Traxxas drift tyre range. This extreme hardness minimises grip and enables smooth, predictable breakaway for drifting. The harder the compound, the less traction, making these ideal for maximum drift potential on rough surfaces like concrete and asphalt where you want minimal grip.
• Can I use these tyres on loose surfaces like dirt or gravel? — These hard-compound drift tyres are specifically optimised for abrasive hard surfaces such as concrete and asphalt. They are not recommended for loose surfaces like dirt or gravel where their characteristics would be ineffective. For off-road use, standard grip tyres with softer compounds are more appropriate.
• Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — No. These tyres arrive pre-mounted and assembled on the wheels, ready for immediate installation onto your RC car. No gluing, mounting, or beading work is required—simply bolt them onto your vehicle and begin driving.
• What is the advantage of the wide rear configuration? — The wide rear setup provides additional stability during high-speed drifting by distributing weight across a larger tyre contact patch and increasing track width. This configuration enhances predictability during extended drift runs and is particularly effective for competitive circuit drifting where consistent line holding is essential.
• How do I achieve the best drifting performance with these tyres? — For maximum drifting effectiveness, combine these hard-compound drift tyres with the Traxxas 8379 spool kit, which eliminates differential action and ensures both rear wheels rotate at identical speeds. This produces the smooth, predictable tyre slip essential to sustained drifts. Additionally, you can remove the steering travel stops and install tie rods in the high-angle position to achieve extra-deep steering throw for more aggressive drift angles.
• Are these wheels weather-resistant? — The graphite grey wheels with chrome rim detailing provide protective coating against corrosion and wear from exposure to the elements. However, these wheels are designed for on-road use on prepared surfaces and should be kept clean and dry when not in use to maintain their appearance and longevity.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres with regular drifting? — Tyre wear depends heavily on driving intensity and surface conditions. The hard-compound formula resists deformation and excessive heat buildup better than softer compounds, typically providing extended tyre life during drifting sessions. However, extended use on abrasive concrete and asphalt will eventually wear the tyres, at which point replacement becomes necessary.
• What makes Traxxas drift tyres different from standard road racing tyres? — Traxxas drift tyres use an extremely hard rubber compound that provides minimal grip by design, enabling controlled breakaway and smooth slides. Standard road racing tyres employ softer compounds engineered to maximise traction and cornering grip. The hard drift compound is incompatible with conventional road racing where grip is essential—drift tyres are purpose-built for one specific application.
