Key Features

• Performance Street Compound — The Anaconda 2.2-inch tyres use a soft compound rubber formulation that grips asphalt surfaces with exceptional stickiness, allowing you to maintain higher speeds through corners and achieve better overall lap times compared to standard all-purpose tyres. This compound is specifically optimised for tarmac racing, not compromised for multi-surface use.
• Exceptional Wear Characteristics — Customer feedback confirms these tyres deliver impressive longevity on asphalt surfaces, meaning you get more value from each pair before needing replacement, even with regular 3S LiPo powered driving sessions. The construction quality ensures the tyre walls and tread maintain their integrity through intensive use.
• Sticky Traction Profile — The tyre tread pattern and sidewall geometry work together to generate maximum grip on sealed surfaces, giving you confidence when cornering at speed and when accelerating from standstill. This translates to faster lap times and more predictable handling characteristics.
• Foam Insert System — Each pair includes genuine Traxxas foam inserts (Bandit specification) that provide correct sidewall support and maintain the optimal ride height and suspension geometry. These inserts are specifically engineered to work with the Anaconda tyre profile.
• Universal 2.2-Inch Fitment — Compatible with Traxxas and other standard 2.2-inch buggy wheels across 1/10 scale models, these tyres offer broad compatibility across the most popular RC buggy platforms used in the UK and internationally.
• Genuine Traxxas Manufacturing — As official Traxxas product TRX2478, you're purchasing factory-produced tyres with full quality control and manufacturer warranty support through RC Model Shop's authorised retailer status.

Technical Performance

The Anaconda 2.2-inch rear tyres represent Traxxas's commitment to delivering purpose-built performance for on-road RC racing applications. The soft compound rubber formulation delivers the kind of grip characteristics that competitive racers demand, with the tread pattern engineered specifically for asphalt surfaces where rubber-to-tarmac contact is paramount.

Real-world feedback from UK RC enthusiasts confirms these tyres maintain their stickiness across multiple 3S LiPo battery packs in succession, making them ideal for competitive race days where you might be running back-to-back heats. The sidewall profile works in conjunction with the included foam inserts to maintain the precise suspension geometry that Traxxas suspension engineers calibrated for optimal performance. For 1/10 scale RC buggies dedicated to asphalt or tarmac running, these tyres set the benchmark for grip and predictability that serious racers have come to expect.

Customer feedback confirms excellent performance and longevity, with users reporting impressive lap consistency and reliable grip through multiple race sessions.
• How long do these tyres last compared to all-purpose compounds? — The Anaconda tyres are specifically praised for exceptional wear characteristics on tarmac surfaces.
