Overview

The Traxxas Wheels, All-Star 2.8in (2WD Electric Rear) TRX3772A represents a premium upgrade option for your 1/10 scale RC car UK enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance and visual appeal. These iconic All-Star wheels have become a staple in the RC hobby community, trusted by both weekend bashers and serious competitors alike. Whether you're running a ready to run RC truck, buggy, or stadium racer, these wheels deliver the perfect combination of strength, style and functionality that separates genuine quality from budget alternatives.

All-Star wheels redefine both looks and convention by combining structural strength with futuristic styling that catches the eye on any track or bashing location. Available in this stunning black-chrome finish, these wheels are engineered to handle the demands of electric RC vehicles whilst maintaining their aesthetic appeal through countless hours of use. The 2.8-inch diameter makes them ideally suited for 2WD electric rear applications, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance and weight distribution for optimal handling characteristics.

If you're upgrading your existing RC vehicle or building a new setup from scratch, the All-Star wheels offer reliability and performance that justify the investment. The natural nylon bead construction ensures fast, easy tyre gluing without the frustration and waste associated with inferior wheel designs. RC car UK buyers consistently choose Traxxas components because they know they're purchasing genuine, authorised products backed by the manufacturer's reputation for quality.

Key Features

• Black-Chrome Finish — The mirror-polished black-chrome face delivers a striking visual appearance that enhances your RC vehicle's curb appeal, whilst the durable coating resists discolouration and maintains its lustre through repeated use and cleaning cycles, making these wheels a long-term investment in style.
• Structural Strength with Lightweight Design — The state-of-the-art engineering combines high-strength materials with optimised weight distribution, ensuring these wheels can withstand the punishment of aggressive cornering, jumps and high-speed runs without compromising your vehicle's acceleration or handling dynamics.
• Natural Nylon Bead — The carefully engineered nylon bead material grabs the tyre securely, reducing the stress placed on the glue joint by tyre expansion during use, which extends tyre life and ensures consistent tyre retention even during intense driving sessions where sidewall flex reaches its limits.
• Horizontal Bead Design — This thoughtful engineering detail helps keep the tyre properly seated on the wheel, reducing the risk of tyre slip that can cause ballooning at high speeds and ensuring your vehicle maintains predictable handling characteristics throughout extended driving sessions.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hexagon drive system provides secure mounting compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles, ensuring straightforward installation without requiring adapters or modification to your vehicle's drivetrain.
• 2WD Electric Rear Specific Design — These wheels are specifically engineered for 2WD electric rear applications, meaning the geometry, weight distribution and structural characteristics are perfectly calibrated for vehicles using this configuration, rather than being a compromise fit across multiple applications.

Technical Performance

The All-Star wheels represent a significant step forward in RC wheel engineering, combining aerospace-grade materials with precision manufacturing techniques to deliver wheels that perform consistently across varying track conditions and driving styles. The 2.8-inch diameter provides the optimal footprint for 1/10 scale 2WD electric vehicles, offering sufficient ground clearance to navigate rough terrain whilst maintaining the low centre of gravity required for responsive cornering. The black-chrome finish is not merely cosmetic—the coating process creates a protective layer that shields the underlying aluminium from oxidation and UV damage, ensuring your wheels maintain their showroom appearance even after months of regular use and outdoor exposure. The natural nylon bead construction has been engineered specifically to work in harmony with modern RC tyres, which are designed with specific bead geometry to achieve maximum performance. When the tyre expands under centrifugal force during high-speed cornering, the horizontal bead design actively resists the outward expansion, maintaining tyre pressure consistency and preventing the ballooning effect that compromises handling precision. This engineering detail matters particularly during competitive driving where millisecond-level handling improvements directly translate to faster lap times. The 12mm hex fitting system ensures a secure connection that eliminates any possibility of wheel slip on the drive system, which is essential for maintaining traction control and preventing the catastrophic loss of handling that can occur if a wheel becomes loose during a race run.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for both on-road and off-road RC vehicles? — These wheels are specifically engineered for 2WD electric vehicles and work best with vehicles designed for both on-road and light off-road use. The 2.8-inch diameter provides the optimal compromise between ground clearance for obstacles and low-profile handling for faster cornering, making them particularly effective for stadium trucks, buggies and short-course racing vehicles that operate across mixed terrain.
• What tyres are compatible with the All-Star 2.8 wheels? — These wheels accept any 2.8-inch tyres designed for 12mm hex fittings. Traxxas offers several tyre options for this wheel size, including stadium truck compounds for grip-focused racing and more robust compounds for general bashing and outdoor use, allowing you to tailor your setup to specific driving conditions.
• How many wheels do I need to purchase? — This pack contains two wheels, which covers one rear axle for 2WD vehicles. If you're upgrading both ends of your vehicle, you'll need two separate purchases—one for the rear axle and potentially a different wheel model for the front axle, as 2WD vehicles often use different sized wheels front and rear.
• Can these wheels be used as replacements if I've damaged my originals? — Yes, absolutely. The Traxxas All-Star wheels are drop-in replacements for standard 2.8-inch 12mm hex wheels on any compatible 1/10 scale 2WD electric RC vehicle, making them an ideal choice whether you're repairing storm damage from a crash or simply upgrading to a more visually appealing option.
• How do I glue tyres onto these wheels? — The natural nylon bead is specifically designed to make tyre gluing faster and easier than traditional wheel designs. Apply your chosen tyre glue (cyanoacrylate superglue is most common) around the bead, press the tyre firmly onto the wheel, and allow the glue to cure for the manufacturer's recommended time. The horizontal bead design ensures the tyre settles into the proper position without requiring complex jigs or fixtures.
• Will these wheels fit my 4WD vehicle? — These wheels are specifically engineered for 2WD electric rear applications and may not be the optimal choice for 4WD vehicles, which typically require different weight distribution and structural characteristics. Traxxas offers specific wheel designs optimised for 4WD configurations, which we'd recommend for those applications.
• Are these wheels durable enough for competitive racing? — The All-Star wheels have earned their reputation through extensive use in competitive RC racing at all levels, from local club races to national championships. The structural strength and precision engineering ensure these wheels can withstand the demands of competition driving, including aggressive cornering, high-speed impacts and the inevitable occasional wall contact that testing reveals.
