Key Features

• Pre-Assembled and Ready to Fit — The wheels come fully assembled with tyres already glued and mounted on foam inserts, eliminating the need for separate tyre gluing, mounting equipment, and installation time, so you can start racing immediately without additional preparation work.
• Tracer 2.2-Inch Chrome Wheels — The mirror chrome finish Tracer wheels deliver an eye-catching aesthetic whilst providing a lightweight, rigid construction that resists deformation under cornering loads, contributing to precise handling and consistent lap times.
• Alias 2.2-Inch Medium Compound Tyres — Engineered with a medium compound rubber formulation, these tyres offer an ideal balance between grip and tyre longevity, performing well across multiple track surfaces including asphalt, concrete, packed dirt and clay without requiring frequent replacement.
• Integrated Foam Inserts — The foam inserts are factory-installed and bonded to the tyres, providing shock absorption that improves ride comfort, reduces vibration transmitted to the chassis, and helps maintain consistent contact with the track surface during aggressive cornering and acceleration.
• Genuine Traxxas OEM Product — Manufactured to exacting Traxxas specifications, this is an authentic original equipment manufacturer product that guarantees perfect compatibility with your Bandit buggy and delivers the performance standards Traxxas customers expect.
• Pair of Two Wheels — The package includes two complete rear wheel assemblies, providing the full rear wheel coverage your Bandit requires for balanced performance, making this an ideal choice for drivers who want both rear wheels replaced simultaneously.
• Precision Engineering — Each wheel and tyre assembly has been carefully manufactured and tested to ensure consistent performance, uniform grip characteristics, and reliable fit on Bandit suspension components without modification or adjustment.

Technical Performance

The Tracer 2.2-inch chrome wheels represent the pinnacle of lightweight, rigid wheel design for 1/10 scale buggies. Constructed from high-quality materials, these wheels feature a chrome finish that not only looks stunning but also provides excellent durability against dirt, moisture and UV exposure common in UK outdoor RC racing. The wheels are engineered to precise tolerances to ensure true mounting surfaces and balanced rotational characteristics, eliminating vibration and wobble that could affect handling. The Alias 2.2-inch tyres paired with these wheels utilise a medium compound rubber formulation that delivers predictable grip across temperature ranges and track conditions. The foam inserts integrated into the tyre assembly act as secondary suspension, absorbing energy from track bumps and obstacles while maintaining tyre contact with the surface. This combination creates a rear tyre system that excels at progressive acceleration, maintains grip through high-speed corners, and provides responsive braking characteristics. The pre-glued construction means zero tolerance variation between the wheel and tyre assembly, ensuring uniform performance across both wheels. For Bandit owners seeking a ready-to-fit upgrade that doesn't compromise on performance, this Traxxas OEM wheel and tyre set delivers professional-grade results without professional-grade installation hassle. The medium compound construction means these tyres are less aggressive than soft compound alternatives, providing extended lifespan and consistent performance lap after lap, making them an economical choice for regular bashers and dedicated competitors alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these wheels and tyres fit my Bandit RC buggy? — Yes, the Traxxas Bandit Chrome Rear Wheel and Tyre Set is specifically designed as OEM equipment for the Bandit 1/10 scale buggy. The 2.2-inch size is the standard rear wheel diameter for Bandit models, and the pin-type fitting system ensures perfect compatibility without modification. These are genuine Traxxas parts engineered to match your Bandit's suspension geometry and weight distribution.
• Are these tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The medium compound formulation provides forgiving grip characteristics that are easier to control than soft compound tyres, making them ideal for drivers still developing throttle control and cornering technique. The pre-mounted, pre-glued assembly eliminates complex tyre preparation, allowing beginners to focus on driving rather than maintenance. These are an excellent choice for anyone new to the hobby or returning to RC after a break.
• What surfaces are these tyres best suited for? — The Alias medium compound tyres excel on multiple surfaces including outdoor asphalt, concrete, packed dirt, and clay tracks. The medium compound delivers consistent grip without the wear rate of softer compounds, making these tyres versatile enough for varied track conditions across different UK venues.
• How long do these tyres typically last before needing replacement? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity and track surface, but the medium compound construction is engineered for extended durability compared to soft compound alternatives. Casual bashers can expect many hours of use, whilst competitive drivers may rotate or replace tyres more frequently depending on race schedules. Regular inspection for wear patterns and uneven degradation will indicate when replacement is needed.
• Can I use these tyres on other Traxxas buggies? — The 2.2-inch wheel size is standard across many Traxxas 1/10 buggies, so compatibility is possible with other models featuring 2.2-inch wheels and matching pin-type fittings. However, performance characteristics are optimised for the Bandit's specific suspension and weight distribution, so results may vary on other vehicles. Always verify wheel size and fitting type on your specific model before purchasing.
• What is the advantage of pre-glued tyres versus gluing them myself? — Factory pre-glued tyres eliminate the need for tyre glue, mounting equipment, and the expertise required to apply adhesive evenly. This saves time, reduces variability in installation quality, and ensures consistent tyre-to-wheel bond strength. For most drivers, pre-glued tyres offer convenience and reliability that justifies the investment.
• Do these wheels come in other finishes besides chrome? — These specific wheels are available in mirror chrome finish, which is featured here. Traxxas offers different wheel styles and finishes across their product range, so if you prefer alternative finishes like black chrome or other colours, other wheel sets may be available for the Bandit.
