Overview
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, assembled, glued (SCT Split-Spoke orange wheels, SCT off-road racing Tyres, foam inserts) (2) (4WD f/r, 2WD rear) (TSM rated) TRX5892 are a premium wheel and tyre set designed for RC enthusiasts who demand performance and reliability. Whether you're looking for replacement wheels and tyres for your existing RC car or upgrading to a more capable setup, these Traxxas wheels represent the gold standard in the hobby. As a trusted RC car UK retailer, we stock genuine Traxxas products that are engineered for durability and speed, making them ideal for both competitive racing and weekend bashing sessions.
These are not just any wheel and tyre combination — they come fully assembled and pre-glued, with foam inserts already fitted, meaning you can install them on your RC model and get racing immediately. The orange Split-Spoke wheels feature an aggressive beadlock-style trim design that looks fantastic whilst providing reliable bead retention during high-speed cornering. The SCT off-road racing tyres are purpose-built for short course truck racing, delivering superior grip and predictable handling characteristics whether you're racing on dirt tracks, grass fields, or mixed terrain.
TSM-rated for high-speed applications, these wheels and tyres are recognised worldwide as performance components that serious RC drivers choose. The 12 mm hex fitment makes them compatible with a wide range of Traxxas models, particularly short course trucks (SCT) in both 4WD and 2WD configurations. If you're running a ready to run RC truck or looking to upgrade your current setup, these Traxxas wheels and tyres deliver exactly what you need to take your racing to the next level.
Key Features
- Pre-Glued and Mounted — The SCT off-road racing tyres come pre-glued and mounted directly onto the orange Split-Spoke wheels, eliminating the time-consuming and skill-demanding process of gluing tyres yourself and getting them perfectly balanced for smooth operation.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each wheel assembly includes pre-installed foam inserts that work together with the tyre sidewalls to absorb impacts, maintain tyre shape during high-speed cornering, and improve overall grip consistency across different track conditions and speeds.
- Beadlock-Style Trim Design — The distinctive beadlock-style trim ring on each wheel provides a secure mechanical grip that locks the tyre bead in place, preventing tyre slippage during aggressive acceleration, braking, and high-speed cornering manoeuvres.
- Orange Split-Spoke Wheel Design — The bright orange colour provides excellent visual appeal and makes your RC truck stand out on the track, whilst the Split-Spoke design combines lightweight construction with excellent structural rigidity needed for high-speed racing applications.
- TSM-Rated for High-Speed Applications — Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) rating ensures these wheels and tyres are engineered to work seamlessly with TSM-equipped RC vehicles, providing electronic stability control that helps prevent spinouts and rollovers during aggressive driving.
- 12 mm Hex Fitment — The standard 12 mm hex hub size makes these wheels compatible with a broad range of Traxxas vehicles and other RC models using the same standard fitment, providing excellent versatility across your RC fleet.
- Dual Configuration Compatibility — Designed to fit both 4WD models (front or rear) and 2WD models (rear wheels only), these wheels and tyres work with numerous Traxxas short course truck platforms, making them a smart upgrade for multiple vehicles.
- SCT Off-Road Racing Tyre Compound — Engineered specifically for off-road racing conditions, the SCT tyre compound delivers superior grip on dirt, grass, and mixed terrain surfaces whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics across a wide range of track temperatures and moisture levels.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas wheel and tyre assemblies represent precision engineering at its finest. The SCT Split-Spoke orange wheels are manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect balance and consistent rotation without vibration that could negatively affect handling or speed. The wheels utilise a robust construction that resists flexing and deformation even under the extreme forces generated during high-speed cornering, emergency braking, and aggressive acceleration on uneven terrain. The beadlock-style trim provides mechanical assurance that the tyre bead remains locked in place, preventing the tyre from rolling or slipping on the wheel rim — a critical consideration when racing at speed or pushing the limits of your RC short course truck's performance envelope.
The SCT off-road racing tyres are purpose-built for short course truck racing and deliver excellent grip characteristics across a wide range of conditions. The tyre compound is formulated to maintain optimal grip from cold morning sessions through to extended afternoon racing when tyre temperatures elevate. The tread pattern is designed specifically for off-road surfaces, providing bite and self-cleaning action that prevents mud and soil from packing into the tread grooves, which would reduce grip and affect handling. Pre-gluing and mounting eliminates variables introduced during the gluing process, ensuring consistent performance across all four wheels and delivering the predictable handling characteristics that serious RC racers demand. The foam inserts work synergistically with the tyre sidewalls to maintain consistent tyre shape and contact patch pressure, translating to more responsive steering input, better power delivery traction, and smoother cornering performance. Whether you're running a Traxxas short course truck in 4WD or 2WD configuration, these wheels and tyres have been validated for high-speed applications, meaning you can confidently push your RC car UK model to the absolute limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models do these wheels and tyres fit? — The 12 mm hex fitment makes these wheels compatible with Traxxas short course truck (SCT) models in 4WD configurations (front or rear installation) and 2WD configurations (rear installation only). If you're unsure whether they fit your specific vehicle, please contact our team or visit our store in Walsall where our experienced staff can confirm compatibility with your particular model.
- Do these wheels come pre-glued? — Yes, these wheels and tyres arrive fully assembled with the SCT racing tyres pre-glued and mounted to the orange Split-Spoke wheels, and the foam inserts are already installed. This means you can unbox them and install them directly onto your vehicle without any additional preparation or gluing work.
- What does TSM-rated mean? — TSM-rated means these wheels and tyres are engineered specifically to work with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) enabled vehicles. TSM is an electronic stability control system built into many Traxxas RC models that automatically detects and prevents spinouts and rollovers by applying selective braking and throttle control. TSM-rated components have been tested to ensure optimal performance with the TSM system.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — These wheels and tyres are genuine Traxxas components suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. However, they are designed primarily for vehicles already equipped with TSM technology and for drivers who want premium performance components. If you're new to the hobby, we recommend speaking with our team to ensure you select the right upgrade path for your specific vehicle and driving style.
- What is the difference between the orange wheels and other Traxxas wheel colours? — The orange Split-Spoke wheels featured in this set offer the same engineering and performance characteristics as other Traxxas SCT wheel options; the primary difference is the distinctive orange colour which provides excellent visual contrast and makes your RC truck stand out on the track. Functionally, they deliver identical performance, grip, and reliability.
- Why are foam inserts important? — Foam inserts work together with the tyre sidewalls to absorb impacts from track bumps and jumps, maintain consistent tyre shape even under hard cornering forces, and help regulate tyre grip characteristics. Without foam inserts, tyres can roll and deform excessively, leading to unpredictable handling and reduced grip consistency. Pre-installed foam inserts eliminate the need for you to purchase and install them separately.
- Can I use these wheels on my 2WD RC truck? — Yes, these wheels are compatible with 2WD Traxxas models for rear installation. The 12 mm hex fitment matches standard 2WD Traxxas short course truck rear hubs. However, they are not recommended for 2WD front installation — if you need front wheels for a 2WD model, please contact our team for guidance on appropriate options.
