Key Features
- Pre-assembled and glued construction — These wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres permanently glued in place, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual wheel building and ensuring professional-quality glue joints that withstand the stresses of RC driving.
- RXT Black & Satin wheel design — The RXT wheels combine structural strength with futuristic styling, available with a brilliant black & satin finish that provides an aggressive aesthetic while maintaining the durability required for high-performance RC use.
- Alias tyres for superior grip — These premium-grade tyres deliver consistent traction and handling characteristics, engineered to perform reliably across different track surfaces and driving conditions typical of RC racing in the UK.
- Foam inserts for shock absorption — The precision foam inserts help absorb impacts and vibrations during aggressive driving, improving overall handling response and extending tyre lifespan by reducing premature wear.
- Natural nylon bead construction — The horizontal bead design helps grip the tyre effectively, reducing stress placed on the glue joint by tyre expansion during acceleration and cornering, ensuring long-lasting wheel integrity.
- 2WD electric rear fitment — Specifically engineered for 2WD electric RC vehicles, these rear wheels are optimised for the weight distribution and handling characteristics of stadium trucks and truggy-class RC cars.
- 12mm hex fitting — Standard 12mm hex drive fitment ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale 2WD electric RC vehicles in the market, making these wheels a versatile upgrade choice.
- TSM rating certification — Traxxas Stability Management compatibility confirms these wheels are tested and approved to work with Traxxas's advanced electronic stability systems, optimising vehicle handling and driver confidence.
- 1/10 scale stadium truck and truggy class — These 2.8-inch diameter wheels are sized for 1/10 scale truggy and stadium truck vehicles, providing the perfect balance of ground clearance and speed-to-size ratio for competitive and recreational driving.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX3772X represent professional-grade engineering designed specifically for the demands of 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles. The 2.8-inch diameter sizing is optimised for stadium truck and truggy applications, providing the right balance between ground clearance and speed capability whilst maintaining precise steering response and cornering stability. The RXT wheel design combines high-strength nylon construction with a natural bead that facilitates secure tyre mounting and reduces the mechanical stress on adhesive joints during high-acceleration driving. The Alias tyres are formulated to deliver consistent traction characteristics across varying track surfaces, whilst the foam inserts dampen vibrations and absorb impacts that would otherwise transmit directly to the wheel hub and suspension geometry. When properly glued and installed on compatible 2WD electric RC vehicles, these wheels maintain concentricity and balance essential for competitive-level performance. The black & satin finish on the RXT wheels not only provides an aesthetically aggressive appearance but also demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to quality surface treatment that resists corrosion and maintains finish integrity through extended outdoor use. These wheels are TSM rated, meaning they have undergone testing to ensure compatibility with Traxxas Stability Management systems, which use electronic intervention to optimise vehicle handling characteristics during high-speed driving and challenging track conditions. The 12mm hex mounting interface is industry-standard for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility across multiple vehicle platforms whilst maintaining the tight tolerances required for wobble-free operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners to RC cars UK? — Yes, absolutely. Since these wheels arrive fully assembled and glued, beginners can skip the complex process of manual wheel building and simply install them onto their vehicle. This makes them ideal for anyone new to the hobby who wants to upgrade their setup without worrying about gluing techniques or wheel construction.
- What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — These are 2WD electric rear wheels designed for 1/10 scale stadium trucks and truggy-class RC vehicles with 12mm hex hubs. They are TSM rated for Traxxas compatibility. You should verify that your specific RC vehicle is a 2WD electric model with 12mm hex fitment before purchasing.
- Why do these wheels come pre-glued? — Pre-glued wheels save significant time and ensure professional-quality adhesion between tyre and wheel that you might struggle to achieve yourself. The manufacturer has optimised the glue joints to withstand the stresses of RC driving, including tyre expansion during acceleration and cornering. This is particularly valuable for competitive drivers who need absolute reliability.
- What is the difference between these RXT wheels and other Traxxas wheel options? — RXT wheels feature the natural nylon bead construction with a horizontal bead design that effectively grips the tyre whilst reducing stress on the glue joint. The black & satin finish offers a modern, aggressive aesthetic. These specifications make them distinct from All-Star wheels which feature alternative styling and finish options. The choice depends on your personal preference regarding appearance and whether you're using these as rear-only or complete wheel upgrades.
- Can I use these wheels on 4WD RC vehicles? — No, these are specifically engineered for 2WD electric rear fitment. They are optimised for the weight distribution and handling characteristics of 2WD vehicles, so using them on 4WD models would affect handling balance and stability.
- How long do foam inserts typically last? — Foam inserts will gradually compress and deteriorate with use over time. Most RC drivers find they need replacement after several months of regular bashing or competitive driving. The good news is you can reglue new inserts into these wheels rather than replacing the entire assembly.
- What makes these TSM rated? — Traxxas Stability Management is an electronic system that actively manages vehicle handling. TSM-rated wheels have been tested to ensure they work properly with this system without interference. If your Traxxas vehicle features TSM, using TSM-rated wheels ensures optimal performance of the stability control system.
