- Unique High-Grip Rubber Compound — The Anaconda tyres feature a specially formulated rubber compound that provides exceptional traction across both street and light off-road surfaces, giving drivers confidence in cornering and acceleration.
- Extended Tread Life — The advanced tyre material and design work together to resist wear and degradation, meaning your investment will deliver consistent performance over an extended period of use compared to standard alternatives.
- Pair Pack Format — This set includes 2 complete assembled wheels and tyres, ideal for fitting to the front axle of 2WD Bandit-class buggies or as a replacement/upgrade pair for front-drive configurations.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX2479R represents a complete wheel and tyre solution engineered for 1/10 scale RC buggy applications. The Anaconda tyres incorporated in this assembly demonstrate Traxxas's commitment to performance innovation through their proprietary rubber formulation, which balances grip level with longevity—a critical consideration for hobbyists who want value for money without sacrificing performance. The Tracer wheel design has been developed through extensive testing to provide the ideal combination of strength, weight distribution and aesthetic appeal. The mirror-chrome finish not only catches the eye but is durable enough to withstand the impacts and abrasions typical of RC car use. These pre-assembled units eliminate variables in installation, ensuring that both wheels in the pair perform identically straight out of the box. The 2.2in diameter is the standard size for most 1/10 scale buggies, particularly models in the Bandit class, making this an accessible upgrade for a broad range of UK RC car enthusiasts. Whether you're running on smooth tarmac, grass, dirt or lightweight off-road terrain, the balance of traction and durability built into this wheelset makes it suitable for both recreational bashing and more serious hobby-grade driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC buggy models are these Tracer wheels compatible with? — These wheels are specifically designed for 1/10 scale buggies and are particularly suited to Bandit-class models. They feature the standard 2.2in diameter and fitment that is compatible with most 1/10 buggy platforms. Always verify your specific model's wheel requirements before purchasing, but the TRX2479R is engineered as a genuine Traxxas component with broad compatibility across the Traxxas buggy range.
- Are these tyres suitable for off-road use or only street driving? — The Anaconda tyres are classified as performance street tyres, meaning they are optimised for tarmac and smooth surfaces where their compound and tread pattern deliver maximum grip and efficiency. Whilst they can handle light off-road terrain and grass without damage, they are not designed as dedicated off-road tyres. For serious bashing in mud or rocky terrain, dedicated off-road tyres would be more appropriate.
- Do these wheels come pre-assembled and ready to fit? — Yes, these are completely pre-assembled units with the Anaconda tyres already glued securely to the Tracer wheels and fitted with foam inserts. You simply need to mount them onto your RC buggy's axles using the appropriate wheel nuts or adapters for your specific model—no additional assembly or preparation is required.
- What foam inserts are included? — The wheels come fitted with foam inserts designed to work with the Anaconda 2.2in tyres. These inserts provide support to the tyre sidewalls and help maintain tyre shape during aggressive driving, contributing to consistent handling and durability.
- Can I use these wheels on a 4WD buggy or are they front-only? — This pack contains 2 wheels, which is typically a front pair for 2WD buggies like the Bandit. Depending on your specific RC model, you might use these as front replacements on a 4WD buggy, but you would need additional rear wheels. Check your model's requirements to determine the best application.
- How do these compare to other Traxxas wheel and tyre options? — Traxxas offers multiple wheel designs and tyre compounds to suit different driving styles and surfaces. The Anaconda/Tracer combination represents a street-focused setup emphasising traction and longevity. Traxxas also produces dedicated off-road tyres and alternative wheel finishes in black chrome. Your choice should depend on where you primarily drive—street buggies suit these tyres, whilst dedicated off-road vehicles would benefit from rougher tyre compounds and possibly heavier-duty wheel designs.
