Overview

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres assembled set (TRX3668A) delivers professional-grade performance and style for your electric RC car. These 2.8" mounted wheels and tyres come fully assembled and glued, ready to bolt straight onto your Traxxas Stampede or Rustler electric vehicle. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring the world of RC cars UK or a serious enthusiast looking to upgrade your setup, these pre-mounted tyre sets eliminate the hassle of mounting and balancing, letting you get straight to the action.

Designed specifically for electric rear fitment on popular Traxxas models, this tyre set represents the perfect balance between durability, grip and handling. The pre-glued assembly saves hours of setup time compared to purchasing wheels and tyres separately, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to refresh their RC truck's footprint without the technical complexity. Available at RC Model Shop, we stock these genuine Traxxas components as an authorised dealer, ensuring you receive authentic products backed by manufacturer specifications and warranty support.

These aren't just about looks—Talon tyres are engineered specifically to provide the right balance of grip and handling characteristics needed for dynamic driving on diverse terrain. From concrete and tarmac to grass and gravel, the tread pattern and rubber compound work together to maintain traction whilst the foam inserts provide shock absorption and stability during aggressive driving. This makes the TRX3668A an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking improved performance across multiple surface types.

Key Features

• Pre-assembled and glued design — These tyres arrive fully assembled with foam inserts already installed and glued to the wheels, eliminating time-consuming mounting and balancing work so you can start driving immediately rather than spending hours in workshop preparation.
• All-Star 5-spoke black chrome wheels — The distinctive five-spoke wheel design combines structural strength with contemporary styling, whilst the black chrome finish is engineered to be tough and durable, resisting fading and maintaining its lustrous appearance even after repeated use and exposure to the elements.
• Talon all-terrain tyres with aggressive tread pattern — The unique tread design features multiple layers of biting edges that grip virtually any surface type, from smooth tarmac through to rough terrain, ensuring consistent traction whether you're driving at high speeds on concrete or tackling loose ground.
• Soft rubber compound for extended grip — The Talon tyres utilise a carefully formulated rubber compound that remains flexible across a wide temperature range, maintaining superior grip and handling characteristics throughout extended driving sessions without hardening or losing traction.
• TSM-rated for high-speed applications — These tyres have been tested and rated for use with Traxxas Stability Management systems, meaning they've been engineered to perform optimally at higher speeds without losing traction or experiencing unexpected handling changes during dynamic manoeuvres.
• Horizontal bead design for secure fitment — The wheel's horizontal bead helps to hold the tyre in place, reducing stress placed on the glue joint by tyre expansion during high-speed driving, which means improved durability and a longer working life before re-gluing becomes necessary.
• Heavy-duty rubber construction — The dense rubber material resists tearing and abrasion on rough terrain, extending the lifespan of the tyres significantly compared to softer alternatives, which means fewer replacements and better value for your investment.
• Dual-profile black Maxx wheels — The wheels feature a sophisticated dual-profile design that balances aesthetic appeal with functional performance, providing the visual impact of premium wheels whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for serious RC driving.
• Foam inserts included — Pre-installed foam inserts provide shock absorption and damping, improving handling response and reducing vibration transmitted to the chassis and radio equipment, resulting in more predictable and controlled driving characteristics.
• 17mm splined hex compatibility — These wheels fit standard 17mm splined hexes, meaning they're compatible with a wide range of Traxxas and compatible RC vehicles, offering flexibility if you decide to upgrade or switch models in future.
• Sold as a pair — You receive two complete 2.8" wheel and tyre assemblies, providing rear fitment for electric Stampede and Rustler models, with the option to purchase multiple sets if needed for different vehicles or seasonal usage.

Technical Performance

The TRX3668A wheel and tyre set represents serious engineering designed for modern electric RC vehicles. The 2.8" diameter places these firmly in the sweet spot for 1/10 scale electric buggies and trucks, offering a balance between ground clearance and ground contact patch that works across multiple terrain types. The Talon tyres' all-terrain design with multi-layer biting edges provides superior traction compared to standard road tyres, making a noticeable difference in acceleration, braking and cornering grip. The heavy-duty rubber compound has been specifically formulated to resist the degradation that occurs during high-speed runs, maintaining grip consistency throughout extended driving sessions without the tyre becoming glazed or hardened. The TSM rating confirms these tyres have passed Traxxas' rigorous testing protocols for use with vehicles equipped with electronic stability management, ensuring the tyre characteristics are optimised to work with modern electronic traction control systems. The beadlock-style ring on the dual-profile Maxx wheels enhances the visual aesthetic whilst the horizontal bead design provides functional benefits by reducing lateral movement during cornering, which decreases stress on the glue joint and extends the working life before re-gluing is necessary. The included foam inserts act as internal dampers, absorbing impacts from small obstacles and providing a more compliant ride characteristic that translates to improved handling predictability and reduced feedback shock through the chassis to sensitive servo components.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for both on-road and off-road RC driving? — Yes, the Talon tyres feature an all-terrain design with a unique tread pattern specifically engineered to provide reliable grip across diverse surfaces, making them equally effective on tarmac, concrete, grass, gravel and dirt terrain. This versatility makes them an excellent choice if you drive in multiple environments rather than specialising in a single surface type.
• What electric RC vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These 2.8" wheels with 17mm splined hex fitment are designed for the rear of the Traxxas Stampede and Rustler electric models. The 17mm hex connection also means they may fit other compatible Traxxas electric vehicles with matching hex sizes, though compatibility should be verified before purchase.
• Will I need to re-glue these tyres? — The tyres arrive pre-glued and ready to use immediately. Over time, with intensive driving and exposure to moisture and temperature changes, the glue bond may eventually weaken. When this occurs, the tyres can be removed, cleaned and re-glued using standard RC tyre adhesive, which is a straightforward process that extends the working life of both wheels and tyres significantly.
• What makes TSM-rated tyres different from standard RC tyres? — TSM or Traxxas Stability Management-rated tyres have been engineered and tested to work optimally with electronic traction control systems, providing predictable handling characteristics that allow stability management software to function effectively. This means better traction control during high-speed driving and improved electronic steering response without tyre slip causing control issues.
• How do the foam inserts improve handling? — The pre-installed foam inserts act as internal suspension components, absorbing impacts from small obstacles and vibrations that would otherwise transmit directly to the chassis. This creates a more compliant ride characteristic, reduces vibration to the radio receiver and servo equipment, and improves the overall consistency of steering response and cornering performance.
• Is the black chrome finish durable for frequent use? — The chrome finish is specifically engineered to be tough and long-lasting, resisting the fading, corrosion and oxidation that can occur with lighter finishes. Even after repeated driving and exposure to moisture, the black chrome maintains its lustrous appearance far better than alternative wheel coatings.
• Can these tyres be used at high speeds? — Absolutely. The Talon tyres are TSM-rated for high-speed applications and the heavy-duty rubber compound is specifically formulated to maintain grip and stability at elevated speeds. The tread design with multiple biting edges remains effective even during aggressive high-speed cornering and acceleration.
• What is the difference between the All-Star wheels and other Traxxas wheel designs? — The All-Star wheels combine a distinctive five-spoke design with a beadlock-style ring and horizontal bead, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. The dual-profile design provides structural strength whilst the beadlock-style appearance gives a premium, contemporary look that differentiates these from basic wheel designs available in alternative product lines.
