Key Features
- Tracer 2.2inch Mirror-Chrome Wheels — These distinctive wheels feature a premium mirror-chrome finish that not only looks stunning but also reflects the quality of construction throughout the entire product, providing excellent aesthetic appeal whilst maintaining structural integrity for demanding RC use.
- Anaconda 2.2inch Performance Tyres — The Anaconda tyre line is specifically engineered with a unique rubber compound that provides incredible traction across multiple terrain types, whether you're driving on asphalt, grass, or mixed surfaces during your RC adventures.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX2478R represents serious engineering in wheel and tyre design for 1/10 scale RC buggies. The Tracer wheels are machined to precise tolerances, ensuring proper balance and alignment for smooth, predictable handling characteristics even at high speeds. The mirror-chrome finish is not merely cosmetic — it indicates a quality manufacturing process and durable electroplated coating that resists corrosion and maintains appearance through repeated use in varied conditions. The Anaconda tyres feature a carefully formulated rubber compound that has been developed through extensive testing to deliver the optimal balance between grip and longevity. This unique compound is softer than hard compound racing slicks, providing excellent traction on street and mixed surfaces, yet harder than super-soft competition compounds, allowing extended tread life that justifies the investment. The foam inserts are precision-fitted, providing support without excessive stiffness, and they work in conjunction with the tyre compound to absorb minor impacts and vibrations, improving ride quality and reducing driver fatigue during extended RC sessions. Whether you're running these on asphalt, dirt, or mixed terrain, the engineering throughout ensures consistent performance and reliability. The pre-glued assembly means Traxxas has already matched each tyre to its corresponding wheel, guaranteeing optimal fitment and balance from the moment you unbox them.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for my 1/10 scale RC buggy? — Yes, these Tracer 2.2inch wheels are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale RC buggies. If you own a Traxxas Bandit or similar 1/10 buggy, these are an excellent upgrade or replacement option that delivers improved performance and durability.
- How long will these tyres last compared to other brands? — The Anaconda tyres feature a unique rubber compound specifically formulated for extended tread life. Customer feedback confirms these wheels are amazing and don't wear down easily, meaning you'll enjoy significantly longer service life compared to many alternative options, reducing your long-term replacement costs.
- What is the difference between the mirror-chrome and black-chrome finish options? — Both finishes are available on the Tracer wheel design, offering different aesthetic preferences. Mirror-chrome provides a highly reflective, premium appearance with excellent corrosion resistance, whilst black-chrome offers a more subdued, aggressive look. Both provide the same quality engineering and durability; the choice is purely based on your preferred vehicle styling.
- Do I need to do anything to these wheels before using them? — No, these wheels come pre-glued and ready to use immediately. The tyres are already mounted and glued to the wheels with foam inserts fitted, eliminating assembly work and allowing you to start driving straight away.
- Will these fit wheels on my existing Bandit vehicle? — These are specifically designed as Bandit Rear wheels, making them an ideal replacement or upgrade if you're looking to improve rear wheel performance and appearance on your Bandit RC buggy.
- Are these good for beginners buying their first RC buggy? — Absolutely. If you're new to RC and looking for quality wheel and tyre options, the Traxxas Anaconda and Tracer combination is an excellent choice. The pre-assembled design eliminates complex tyre mounting, and the proven durability means beginners won't need to replace worn tyres frequently, making these a smart investment for your first RC setup.
- Can I use these tyres on different wheel designs? — The Anaconda 2.2inch tyres are pre-glued to these specific Tracer wheels. Whilst the tyre compound is excellent for various terrain types and the 2.2inch size is standard for 1/10 buggies, removing these tyres from the wheels is not recommended as it would damage both the tyres and wheels, and they're designed as an integrated system.
