Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX3779X represent a complete wheel and tyre solution built to the exacting standards that have made Traxxas the leading name in ready to run RC vehicles across the UK and worldwide. The 2.8-inch diameter sizing is purpose-built for 1/10 scale 2WD electric applications, where this wheel and tyre combination must balance several critical performance factors including acceleration, cornering grip, top-end speed stability, and overall handling predictability. The Alias tyres utilise a step-pin tread design that creates multiple contact points with the driving surface, generating substantially improved traction on loose dirt, sand, grass, and other challenging surfaces where standard slick or ribbed tyres would struggle to maintain grip. The foam inserts embedded within each tyre serve as a crucial performance component, absorbing impacts from bumps, jumps, and rough terrain whilst maintaining consistent tyre pressure and shape, which translates directly into more responsive steering, better acceleration traction, and improved overall driving feel. The chrome RXT wheels themselves are machined to precision tolerances and finished in a durable chrome coating that resists corrosion and maintains its aesthetic appeal through countless hours of outdoor use. The pre-glued assembly ensures that the tyres are mounted with optimal concentricity and balance, eliminating the guesswork and potential errors that can occur with manual tyre gluing and balancing. For 2WD electric brushless RC vehicles that can achieve speeds in excess of 60+ mph with appropriate power systems and battery configurations, these wheels and tyres deliver the stability, traction, and reliability required to translate that performance into real-world driving enjoyment and competitive success.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for high-speed 2WD electric RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. The TRX3779X is specifically TSM-rated for high-speed applications, meaning these wheels and tyres are engineered to deliver consistent performance even when your 2WD electric RC vehicle is running at or near its maximum velocity. The Alias step-pin tyre design and foam inserts work together to maintain stability and traction regardless of speed.
• Will these wheels fit my 2WD electric RC car? — These wheels will fit any 1/10 scale 2WD electric RC vehicle that uses 12mm hex hubs. This includes popular Traxxas models such as the Slash and Bandit, as well as many other manufacturers' 2WD platforms. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm 12mm hex compatibility before ordering.
• Do I need to glue the tyres myself? — No, one of the primary advantages of this product is that the tyres arrive pre-glued to the RXT chrome wheels. Simply bolt them onto your vehicle's 12mm hex hubs and you're ready to drive. This saves considerable time and eliminates the need for tyre glue, which many enthusiasts find messy and inconvenient.
• What makes Alias tyres better than standard ribbed tyres? — Alias tyres feature a step-pin tread pattern that provides superior traction on dirt, loose surfaces, grass, and mixed terrain compared to standard ribbed tyres. The step-pin design creates multiple edges and contact points that bite into soft surfaces more effectively, giving you better acceleration, braking, and cornering grip in off-road conditions.
• Are the foam inserts important to performance? — Yes, the foam inserts serve multiple critical functions. They provide cushioning that absorbs impacts from jumps and rough ground, they help maintain tyre shape and pressure consistency, they improve overall handling feel and responsiveness, and they enhance traction by keeping the tyre in optimal contact with the surface. Tyres without proper foam inserts often feel sloppy and unpredictable.
• What battery do I need for my RC car with these wheels? — The wheels themselves are compatible with any battery system your specific vehicle supports. Many modern 2WD electric RC vehicles use 4S LiPo batteries, though this varies by model. Consult your vehicle's manual to determine the correct battery configuration, and always match your battery to your vehicle's ESC specifications for optimal performance and safety.
• Can I use these wheels for racing as well as bashing? — These wheels and tyres are versatile and can be used for both competitive racing and casual bashing. The TSM-rated design ensures stable performance at high speeds for racing applications, whilst the Alias tyre tread pattern provides excellent grip for varied terrain if you're a weekend basher exploring different riding locations.
• How do I install these wheels on my vehicle? — Installation is straightforward. Simply remove your existing wheels from your vehicle's 12mm hex hubs, position the new TRX3779X wheels onto the hubs, and secure them with the appropriate wheel fasteners (typically provided with your vehicle). The pre-assembled and pre-glued design means you can be driving within minutes.
