Key Features

• Pre-assembled and pre-glued design — The tyres and wheels arrive fully assembled and already glued together, meaning you can unbox them and bolt them directly onto your RC truck without any messy tyre mounting or adhesive work. This out-of-the-box convenience is perfect for bashers and racers who want to spend more time driving and less time in the workshop.
• RXT chrome wheels — These stylish chrome-finished wheels feature the classic RXT design and add a professional, polished look to your RC car. The chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through extended use in UK outdoor conditions, from wet grass to dusty terrain.
• Alias ribbed tyres — The Alias tyre compound provides excellent traction in dirt and other loose surfaces, which is essential for maintaining grip and control during fast cornering and aggressive acceleration. The ribbed tread pattern is engineered to bite into unprepared ground, giving you confidence in varied track conditions.
• Foam inserts included — Each wheel comes fitted with foam inserts that absorb impacts and provide structural support to the tyre sidewall. This reduces tyre roll during hard cornering and helps preserve the integrity of the tyre over extended use, prolonging the life of your investment.
• 12mm hex fitting — The industry-standard 12mm hex connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles. Installation is quick and tool-free; simply slide the hex onto your vehicle's stub axle and tighten the locking pin.
• Electric front specification — These wheels are specifically engineered for electric front axles, with sizing and weight distribution optimised for brushless RC cars. If you're running a high-performance brushless system, these wheels will deliver the handling characteristics you expect.
• 2.8-inch diameter — The 2.8-inch size is the standard for 1/10 scale truggy and stadium truck racing, offering the ideal balance of ground clearance, acceleration response, and top-speed potential. This size works perfectly on vehicles like the Traxxas Maxx and other modern stadium trucks.
• Genuine Traxxas quality — Every component in this wheel set meets Traxxas' exacting engineering standards. You're buying OEM parts designed and tested by the manufacturer themselves, ensuring perfect fitment and long-term reliability.

Technical Performance

The TRX3779 wheel and tyre assembly represents the pinnacle of 1/10 scale off-road footprint engineering. The 2.8-inch diameter wheels are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring true rolling and minimal vibration even at high speeds. The RXT chrome wheels are constructed from durable materials that resist impacts and maintain structural integrity through countless bashings on rough terrain. The Alias ribbed tyres feature a specially formulated rubber compound that delivers consistent grip performance across a wide temperature range, whether you're running your brushless RC car on a warm summer afternoon or in the cooler conditions typical of UK autumn and winter racing. The integrated foam inserts are engineered to compress progressively, providing initial compliance for comfort while maintaining enough firmness to prevent excessive tyre roll during aggressive cornering. With the 12mm hex fitting, these wheels are compatible with all modern 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles, from competition racing buggies to backyard bashers. The pre-glued construction eliminates assembly variables, ensuring that every wheel set performs identically straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use these wheels on any RC car UK, or are they specific to Traxxas vehicles? — The TRX3779 wheels feature a standard 12mm hex fitting, which is the industry-standard connector used on most 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles. While they are Traxxas OEM parts, they will fit any 1/10 scale truck or buggy that uses 12mm hex axles, including many non-Traxxas vehicles. However, for guaranteed perfect fitment and performance, they are most commonly paired with Traxxas stadium trucks and truggies.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners, or are they only for experienced RC enthusiasts? — These wheels are suitable for all skill levels. Beginners will appreciate the convenience of pre-glued, ready-to-install wheels that require no additional preparation. Experienced racers will value the performance characteristics and genuine Traxxas engineering. Whether you're just getting started with RC cars or you're competing at club level, the TRX3779 offers excellent value and reliability.
• What is the difference between these ribbed Alias tyres and other Traxxas tyre options? — Traxxas offers various tyre compounds and tread patterns for different conditions. The Alias ribbed tyre in this set is specifically engineered for dirt and loose surfaces, providing aggressive traction. Other options, such as Sledgehammer or Slayer tyres, offer different performance characteristics suited to tarmac or slick surfaces. The ribbed design on the Alias is ideal for unprepared terrain commonly found at UK RC clubs and outdoor track venues.
• Do I need to glue these tyres myself, or do they come pre-glued? — These tyres come completely pre-glued, so no assembly or adhesive work is required. Simply unbox them and bolt them onto your RC truck's axles. This is a major time-saver compared to purchasing separate wheels and tyres and gluing them yourself.
• What size battery do I need to use with these wheels? — The TRX3779 wheels themselves are passive components and do not require a specific battery. However, they are designed for electric front axles on brushless RC vehicles. The battery compatibility depends entirely on your vehicle's power system. Most modern brushless 1/10 scale trucks use 3S or 4S LiPo batteries, but you should consult your specific RC vehicle's manual for battery specifications.
• How durable are the foam inserts, and do I need to replace them regularly? — The foam inserts are designed to last through extended use, providing consistent cushioning and tyre support. Over time, with heavy use, foam can compress and lose some of its original properties. Most RC enthusiasts replace foam inserts every 12-24 months of regular bashing and racing, depending on intensity of use. Traxxas sells replacement foam inserts separately, making it easy and affordable to refresh your wheels without buying new tyres.
• Can these wheels be used on both front and rear axles? — No, the TRX3779 is specifically marked for electric front use only. Traxxas produces separate wheel sets optimised for rear axles, such as the TRX3770. Using front wheels on the rear axle may result in handling issues and suboptimal performance.
• Are these tyres good for racing, or are they only for casual bashing? — The Alias ribbed tyre is a versatile all-purpose tyre suitable for both casual bashing and competitive racing on dirt surfaces. Many RC enthusiasts use these tyres for club-level racing and won weekend events. If you're competing at the highest levels of RC racing, you may eventually explore specialised race compounds, but for general-purpose use, the Alias is an excellent performer.
