Overview

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled Glued SCT Off-Road Racing Tyres (2 pcs) TRX5875 represent a premium choice for RC enthusiasts looking to upgrade or replace their short course truck setup. Whether you're a serious racer in the UK RC community or a weekend basher pushing your vehicle to its limits, these professionally assembled and pre-glued tyres deliver the performance and durability you need. The combination of high-quality construction, ready-to-run convenience, and proven Traxxas engineering makes this wheel and tyre package an essential upgrade for any 1/10 scale 2WD short course truck platform.

Short course racing has become increasingly popular across the UK, and having the right tyres can be the difference between victory and defeat. These Traxxas SCT tyres come complete with foam inserts to provide optimal grip and shock absorption on off-road terrain. The pre-glued and mounted configuration means you can install them immediately without waiting for adhesive to cure, saving you valuable setup time whether you're preparing for a race or a day at the track.

Built by Traxxas, a manufacturer recognised worldwide for their commitment to quality and performance, these wheels and tyres have been engineered specifically for short course truck racing. The dual-profile design accommodates both inner and outer track widths, making these tyres versatile across different course layouts and conditions you'll encounter at UK RC racing venues.

Key Features

• Pre-Glued and Mounted Configuration — The tyres arrive already glued and mounted to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming process of applying adhesive and waiting for it to set, allowing you to get straight to racing without delays.
• Foam Inserts Included — Integrated foam inserts provide essential shock absorption and maintain tyre shape under aggressive cornering, which is crucial for maintaining traction during competitive off-road racing.
• Satin Chrome Dual-Profile SCT Wheels — The distinctive satin chrome finish offers both aesthetic appeal and functional durability, while the dual-profile design (2.2 inch outer, 3.0 inch inner) provides compatibility with various track widths and setups.
• Beadlock-Style Trim Design — The beadlock-style trim ring helps secure the tyre to the wheel under high-speed cornering and aggressive driving, preventing tyre roll-off during intense competition.
• 12mm Hex Fitment — Compatible with the standard 12mm hex hub interface found on most 1/10 scale 2WD short course trucks, ensuring broad compatibility across the Traxxas platform and many competitor vehicles.
• Off-Road Racing Tyre Profile — Specifically designed for off-road short course racing applications, the tread pattern optimises grip on dirt, gravel and mixed terrain surfaces typical of UK RC racing circuits.
• 2WD Front Fitment Specification — Engineered specifically for front wheel positions on 2WD short course trucks, delivering the steering response and traction required for precision control.
• Professional Grade Construction — Traxxas manufacturing standards ensure consistent quality, durability and performance across the entire package, backed by years of racing heritage and development.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX5875 represent the pinnacle of short course truck tyre technology for the 1/10 scale RC racing market. The dual-profile wheel design (2.2 inch outer diameter, 3.0 inch inner diameter) provides exceptional versatility, allowing drivers to switch between different track configurations without changing wheels entirely. The satin chrome finish on the split-spoke wheel design not only looks stunning but also provides superior durability compared to painted alternatives, resisting chipping and fading even after extensive use on abrasive off-road surfaces. The foam inserts are precision-engineered to work in concert with the tyre sidewalls, maintaining consistent contact patch pressure across varying speeds and cornering forces. The off-road racing tyre profile has been specifically formulated to excel on the types of terrain found at UK racing venues—from hard-packed clay to loose gravel to mixed dirt and grass surfaces. The beadlock-style trim ring is a critical engineering feature that prevents the tyre from rolling off the wheel under the extreme lateral forces experienced during high-speed cornering, a common issue with lesser-quality alternatives. These tyres are supplied already glued to the wheels using professional-grade adhesive, ensuring a permanent bond that won't separate during racing or bashing. Whether you're running at indoor carpet venues or outdoor natural terrain tracks across the UK, the construction quality and material selection ensure consistent performance and longevity. The 12mm hex interface is the industry standard for 1/10 scale short course trucks, providing universal compatibility and easy installation on your existing vehicle.
