Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX3771X represent professional-grade wheel and tyre technology designed specifically for 1:10 scale electric RC vehicles. The engineering behind these components reflects decades of racing experience and innovation. The RXT wheel design combines structural integrity with weight optimisation, crucial factors that affect acceleration, braking and overall vehicle responsiveness. The ribbed Alias tyres provide a tread pattern scientifically developed to maximise contact patch and grip coefficient across varying surface conditions, from polished indoor tracks to outdoor dirt and grass surfaces. The foam inserts are precision-engineered to the correct density and composition, ensuring they absorb impact energy without bottoming out or losing their protective qualities. The 2.8-inch diameter wheels are the industry standard for 1:10 stadium trucks and truggies in the UK RC racing community, offering optimal gearing ratios and top-end speed potential whilst maintaining adequate ground clearance for suspension travel. The 12mm hex fitment utilises Traxxas's proven connection design, which has been refined through countless race events and testing programmes. Installation is straightforward thanks to the factory-glued construction, which means the tyres are permanently affixed to the wheels at the correct tension and angle, eliminating variables that can occur during field gluing and ensuring consistent performance across multiple uses and storage periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my Traxxas Rustler HD? — Yes, these wheels are specifically designed for Traxxas Rustler HD models including the XL-5 electric and BL-2S brushless versions. The 12mm hex fitment and 2.8-inch size are the correct specification for both Rustler HD variants, whether you have the green, pink, orange, red or blue model.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels myself? — No, these wheels arrive pre-assembled and factory-glued, meaning the tyres are already permanently affixed to the wheels and ready for immediate installation. You simply remove them from the packaging and bolt them onto your vehicle using the existing hex adaptors.
- What is the difference between these RXT wheels and other Traxxas wheel options? — The RXT designation refers to the specific wheel design and finish combination used in these units. The RXT Black & Satin finish provides a distinctive two-tone appearance compared to solid-colour wheel options, whilst maintaining the same structural strength and performance characteristics. The ribbed Alias tyres included here offer a different tread pattern compared to other Traxxas tyre options, providing enhanced grip in specific conditions.
- Can I use these wheels on the rear of my vehicle? — These are specifically configured as electric front wheels for 1:10 scale vehicles. Traxxas manufactures different wheel and tyre combinations optimised for rear positions, which may have different specifications. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's manual or contact us before installation on non-standard positions.
- How long will these tyres last before needing replacement? — Tyre lifespan depends on driving intensity, surface conditions and maintenance. Casual bashing may yield 10-15 hours of driving time, whilst competitive racing usage might require replacement after 5-8 hours. Regular inspection of tread wear and sidewall condition will indicate when replacement is necessary.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The pre-assembled and factory-glued construction makes these ideal for beginners who want to avoid the complexity of wheel building and tyre gluing. Simply install them on your vehicle and drive. The ribbed tyre profile is forgiving across various surfaces, making them excellent for learning proper driving technique.
- What vehicles need this exact wheel size? — The 2.8-inch diameter with 12mm hex fitment is standard for 1:10 scale stadium trucks and truggies, including the Traxxas Rustler HD range (both XL-5 and BL-2S versions), as well as other compatible 1:10 electric vehicles manufactured to this specification.
- Do foam inserts come installed? — Yes, the foam inserts arrive pre-installed inside the wheels, ready for use. You do not need to remove or reinstall them unless they become damaged during use, in which case replacement foam inserts are available separately from Traxxas.
- What is the weight of these wheels? — Specific weight specifications are not provided in the manufacturer data, however the balanced mass distribution of the RXT wheels has been engineered to maintain optimal vehicle handling and acceleration characteristics within the 1:10 stadium truck class.
- Can I paint or modify these wheels? — The RXT Black & Satin finish is a permanent factory coating designed for durability. Whilst modification is technically possible, it may compromise the appearance and durability of the wheels. We recommend using them in their original condition or exploring other wheel options if aesthetic customisation is your goal.
