TRX2479A

Overview

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled (2 pcs) TRX2479A represents a premium upgrade solution for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their 1/10 scale Bandit front-end performance. These pre-assembled wheel and tyre combinations arrive ready to fit, eliminating the need for additional gluing or assembly work. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast, a weekend basher, or someone serious about improving your RC buggy's handling characteristics, this Traxxas offering delivers the quality and performance that the brand is renowned for across the globe.

This particular package combines two critical components that work in perfect harmony: the stunning Tracer 2.2-inch wheels finished in black-chrome, paired with the legendary Anaconda 2.2-inch performance tyres. The black-chrome finish on the Tracer wheels not only looks visually striking on your RC model, but also provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance. For owners of ready-to-run RC buggies seeking to upgrade their stock wheel and tyre setup, the TRX2479A offers immediate improvement in both aesthetics and on-track performance.

What makes these assembled wheels and tyres particularly appealing is the convenience factor—you're getting a fully integrated solution with professional-grade construction that would take considerable time and expertise to replicate independently. The foam inserts included with these Anaconda tyres are specifically engineered to work with the Tracer wheel design, ensuring optimal contact patch and suspension compliance. This is genuine Traxxas equipment, manufactured to exacting standards and tested extensively by professional RC racers and enthusiasts worldwide.

Key Features

• Anaconda 2.2-inch Performance Tyres — These legendary Anaconda tyres feature a unique rubber compound specifically formulated to provide incredible traction across a wide variety of track surfaces and conditions. The advanced compound technology means you get extended tread life even with regular use, making these tyres an economical choice for drivers who bash frequently or compete regularly. The unique design of Anaconda tyres has made them a favourite among serious RC buggy racers for decades.
• Tracer 2.2-inch Black-Chrome Wheels — The Tracer wheel design is engineered for performance and style, finished in an eye-catching black-chrome coating that resists corrosion and maintains its lustrous appearance through repeated use. The black-chrome finish provides an aggressive, professional appearance that transforms the visual presence of your RC buggy whilst maintaining excellent structural integrity and durability under demanding driving conditions.
• Pre-Glued and Assembled — Both the tyres and wheels arrive completely assembled and glued, ready for immediate installation onto your 1/10 scale RC buggy. This eliminates hours of preparation work and the risk of improper gluing, which can cause catastrophic tyre failure during driving. Simply remove the packaging and fit to your vehicle—no additional tools, adhesives or expertise required.
• Foam Inserts Included — Professional-grade foam inserts are factory-installed within the Anaconda tyres, providing the correct suspension compliance and shock absorption characteristics. These foam inserts work in conjunction with the tyre sidewalls to deliver consistent handling feel and optimal ground contact, which is essential for competitive driving or technical track layouts.
• 2WD Front Fitting Position — These wheels and tyres are specifically engineered for front axle fitment on 2WD Bandit-class RC buggies, though they may be compatible with other 1/10 scale models featuring the same wheel specifications. The geometry and dimensions are precisely calculated to match the suspension geometry and steering response of front-end applications.
• Pair of Two Complete Units — You receive two fully assembled wheel and tyre units in this package, which is the standard quantity for front axle replacement or major maintenance on 1/10 scale buggies. This ensures you have matching components and can achieve consistent handling characteristics across both front wheels.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX2479A represents the pinnacle of wheel and tyre engineering for 1/10 scale RC buggies. The Anaconda tyre compound has been refined through countless hours of racing and development, resulting in a rubber formulation that delivers superior traction compared to many standard rubber compounds whilst maintaining durability that extends the service life of your investment. The 2.2-inch diameter specification is the industry standard for competitive 1/10 buggy racing, and the specific tread pattern of the Anaconda provides optimal groove design for displacement of water and loose material whilst maintaining maximum contact patch area for traction. The Tracer wheels are engineered with precision tolerance and feature a design that minimises unsprung mass whilst maintaining structural rigidity under cornering forces and impacts. The black-chrome plating process uses advanced electroplating techniques to ensure excellent adhesion to the underlying aluminium wheel, preventing peeling or flaking even with heavy use. When paired together, the Anaconda tyres and Tracer wheels create a complete suspension-to-ground interface that communicates track feedback directly to your driver input, essential for competitive racing or technical bashing where precise vehicle control is paramount. The foam inserts are calibrated to work specifically with the Anaconda tyre sidewall stiffness, and together they create a suspension system that absorbs bumps and jumps whilst maintaining consistent steering response through high-speed cornering.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC buggy models are compatible with the Traxxas TRX2479A wheels and tyres? — These wheels and tyres are designed as direct replacements for the Bandit front axle, and are specifically engineered to fit 1/10 scale models with 2.2-inch wheel specifications. Traxxas has designed its wheel sizes to be broadly compatible across many of its 1/10 buggy models, but we always recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team to confirm fitment before purchasing. The 2.2-inch size is the industry standard for 1/10 buggy racing, so they may fit other brands' models as well, though Traxxas fitment is guaranteed.
• Are these wheels and tyres suitable for street driving or only off-road use? — The Anaconda tyres are classified as performance street tyres with an advanced rubber compound designed for excellent on-road traction. They excel on smooth tarmac surfaces, whether that's car park bashing, road circuits, or dedicated track venues. However, the design also makes them capable on light off-road terrain, though they are optimised primarily for street and asphalt driving rather than extreme mud, sand or gravel surfaces.
• How long will these Anaconda tyres last with regular use? — The Anaconda tyre compound is specifically formulated to provide long tread life compared to many alternative rubber compounds. Actual tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, track surface, driving style and maintenance practices. Competitive racers might wear out a set in several race days, whilst recreational bashers might enjoy many months of use. Regular cleaning and proper storage will extend tyre life significantly.
• Can I use these wheels and tyres with my existing foam inserts? — These Anaconda tyres come pre-glued to the Tracer wheels and include professional-grade foam inserts specifically calibrated for the Anaconda tyre sidewall stiffness. We do not recommend replacing these foam inserts unless you have expert knowledge of suspension geometry and tyre dynamics, as the original setup is engineered to work as a complete system.
• What is the difference between the black-chrome and mirror chrome Tracer wheels? — Both finishes use the same advanced plating process but result in different aesthetic appearances. Black-chrome provides a darker, more aggressive appearance and may offer slightly better contrast and visibility on your RC buggy. Mirror chrome offers a more traditional polished look. Performance characteristics between the two finishes are virtually identical, so the choice is primarily aesthetic. These TRX2479A wheels feature the black-chrome finish.
• Are these genuine Traxxas products? — Yes, absolutely. The TRX2479A is manufactured by Traxxas and carries the official EAN code 020334247957. When purchased from authorised retailers like RC Model Shop, you receive genuine products with full warranty coverage and the assurance of authentic quality and performance.
