Key Features

• Pre-Assembled Ready-to-Fit Design — These wheels come completely assembled with foam inserts already installed, meaning you don't need to spend time mounting tyres, balancing wheels, or fitting inserts yourself. This saves considerable time and ensures factory-perfect fitment every time, which is especially valuable for competitive racers who need consistency.
• Genuine Alias Soft Compound Tyres — The Alias tyres featured in this set are manufactured from a soft rubber compound specifically formulated to deliver maximum grip across a range of track conditions. Soft compound tyres are essential for serious racing where every fraction of a second counts, and they excel in both indoor carpet tracks and outdoor clay or carpet surfaces.
• Mirror Chrome Tracer Wheels — The polished mirror chrome finish on the Tracer wheels not only looks professional and aggressive, but the hard anodised coating also provides durability and resistance to corrosion and scuffing. The aesthetic appeal is a bonus—these wheels genuinely enhance the visual presence of any 1/10 buggy.
• Foam Insert Technology — The pre-fitted foam inserts absorb impacts and vibrations, improving tyre grip and contact patch consistency during acceleration, braking and cornering. This technology is critical for maintaining predictable handling characteristics, especially during high-speed runs or competitive racing scenarios.
• 2WD Front Axle Compatible — Designed specifically for 2WD 1/10 scale buggies, these wheels are the correct specification for front axle fitment, ensuring proper suspension geometry and handling. They integrate seamlessly with standard Traxxas 2WD buggy designs without modification.
• Industry Standard 2.2-inch Diameter — The 2.2-inch wheel size is the recognised standard for 1/10 scale buggy competition and recreational use across the UK and worldwide. This size delivers optimal performance in terms of ground clearance, cornering speed and overall vehicle dynamics.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Tracer 2.2in wheels paired with Alias ribbed tyres represent a significant performance upgrade for any 1/10 scale RC buggy. The soft compound tyre material is specifically engineered to provide superior grip and traction compared to standard or medium compound tyres, making these wheels an ideal choice for competitive racing where track surface conditions demand maximum adhesion. The ribbed tread pattern on the Alias tyres channels water and debris away from the contact patch, maintaining consistent grip in damp conditions or dusty environments—a critical feature for outdoor RC racing in the UK climate. The pre-fitted foam inserts act as suspension dampers for the tyre assembly itself, allowing the tyres to maintain consistent contact with the track surface even during aggressive acceleration, hard braking and lateral cornering forces. The mirror chrome finish on the Tracer wheels is not merely cosmetic; the hard anodised coating provides genuine durability, protecting against corrosion, salt spray and mechanical wear that can degrade wheel integrity over time. The wheels are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure perfect balance, which is essential for maintaining stability at high speeds and reducing vibration feedback through the chassis. These assembled wheels eliminate the guesswork and potential assembly errors associated with purchasing wheels and tyres separately, ensuring that what you receive matches factory specifications exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for my 1/10 scale RC buggy? — Yes, the Traxxas Tracer 2.2in wheels are specifically designed for 1/10 scale buggies and are compatible with any standard 1/10 2WD buggy platform. They fit the front axle and are the industry standard size for this class of vehicle. Check your vehicle's specification to confirm it accepts 2.2-inch wheels on the front axle.
• What is the difference between soft compound and standard tyres? — Soft compound tyres like the Alias feature in this set offer significantly better grip and traction due to their rubber formulation, making them ideal for competitive racing where maximum adhesion is critical. Standard or medium compound tyres are more durable for general bashing but provide less grip. If you're serious about lap times and performance, soft compound is the choice for racing.
• Do these wheels come ready to use straight from the box? — Yes, these wheels are completely pre-assembled with foam inserts already installed and tyres mounted. You can fit them directly to your RC buggy's front axle without any additional preparation, tools or assembly required.
• What finish options are available? — The Tracer 2.2in wheels are available in mirror chrome finish, which provides a polished, professional appearance whilst offering genuine durability through hard anodised coating. The chrome finish resists corrosion and scuffing better than standard painted finishes.
• Will these wheels fit my 1/8 scale buggy or other vehicle types? — No, the 2.2-inch wheel diameter is specifically sized for 1/10 scale vehicles. They will not be compatible with 1/8 scale buggies which require larger wheels, nor with other vehicle classes outside the 1/10 buggy specification.
• How often should I replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on usage intensity, track surface and driving style. Competitive racers may replace soft compound tyres after 10-15 heat cycles of racing, whilst recreational bashers may find them lasting considerably longer. Inspect tyres regularly for wear, flat spots, or chunks of missing rubber, and replace when grip noticeably diminishes.
