Overview
The Traxxas SCT Split-Spoke green wheels with pre-glued and mounted SCT off-road racing tyres represent the perfect upgrade or replacement solution for RC enthusiasts across the UK looking to maximise their short course truck performance. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher exploring the world of ready to run RC vehicles, these professionally assembled wheel and tyre combinations deliver the reliability and performance characteristics that have made Traxxas a trusted name in the RC hobby for decades. Each pair arrives fully prepared with foam inserts already fitted, meaning you can get straight onto the track or trail without any time-consuming assembly or mounting work.
These SCT wheels and tyres are specifically engineered for high-speed applications and have earned TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) certification, a guarantee that they have been tested and verified to work seamlessly with Traxxas's advanced electronic stability systems. The beadlock-style trim design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your RC truck but also provides structural integrity that keeps the tyre firmly seated on the wheel during aggressive cornering and high-speed runs. The green colour option offers a bold, distinctive appearance that stands out on any RC track or bash course across the UK.
Designed with versatility in mind, this wheel and tyre set accommodates multiple vehicle configurations: they fit 4WD models on both front and rear axles, and 2WD vehicles on the rear axle only, making them an ideal choice whether you're running a 4WD short course truck or a 2WD variant. The 12 mm hex connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of Traxxas models in the SCT (short course truck) category, providing the flexibility to upgrade multiple vehicles in your fleet or adapt your setup to different racing conditions.
Key Features
- Pre-Glued and Mounted Assembly — These wheels and tyres come completely prepared with professional adhesive already applied and the tyres mounted to the wheels, eliminating hours of assembly time and ensuring perfect alignment from the moment you unbox them. This ready-to-fit design means you can transition from unboxing to running in minutes rather than spending an entire afternoon on preparation work.
- Foam Inserts Included — The foam inserts that come pre-installed in these tyres play a crucial role in managing tyre flex and maintaining structural integrity during high-speed runs and aggressive manoeuvres. These inserts help reduce tyre roll during sharp cornering, providing more predictable handling characteristics that competitive RC drivers and serious enthusiasts demand.
- Green Split-Spoke Wheels — The distinctive split-spoke wheel design combines aesthetic appeal with functional engineering, offering a lighter construction than solid wheels while maintaining excellent structural strength. The green finish provides a striking visual contrast that makes your RC truck stand out on any course, and the split-spoke pattern is instantly recognisable as premium Traxxas engineering.
- Beadlock-Style Trim — The beadlock-style trim ring that secures the tyre to the wheel prevents tyre roll and slip during aggressive cornering, high-speed acceleration, and emergency braking situations. This design feature is particularly valuable during competitive racing where precision handling and predictable tyre behaviour directly impact lap times and overall performance.
- SCT Off-Road Racing Tyres — These purpose-built off-road racing tyres feature a tread pattern specifically optimised for loose surface traction, whether you're running on clay, dirt, or mixed terrain common to UK RC racing venues. The compound and tread design have been engineered to deliver consistent grip across a range of track conditions and temperatures.
- TSM-Rated for High-Speed Applications — TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) certification means these wheels and tyres have been tested and approved for use with Traxxas's electronic stability systems, ensuring optimal performance when paired with TSM-equipped vehicles. This rating provides confidence that your setup has been validated by the manufacturer for the speeds and stresses of serious RC driving.
- 12 mm Hex Hub Connection — The standard 12 mm hex connection is the industry-standard interface for Traxxas SCT vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility across the Traxxas product range and making these wheels suitable for front or rear use depending on your vehicle configuration. This standardisation means you can easily swap these wheels between compatible vehicles in your collection.
- Versatile Multi-Configuration Compatibility — Whether you're running a full-size 4WD short course truck or a more compact 2WD variant, these wheels fit front and rear on 4WD models or rear only on 2WD models, providing the flexibility to upgrade your entire vehicle or rotate tyres between multiple trucks.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas SCT Split-Spoke green wheels and off-road racing tyres represent a complete performance solution engineered from the ground up for competitive RC short course truck racing and high-speed bashing. The wheel construction utilises the split-spoke design philosophy favoured by professional RC racers across the UK, offering the optimal balance between lightweight construction and rigidity needed to handle the torsional forces generated during aggressive driving. The 12 mm hex mounting interface connects securely to the drive hubs, and the beadlock-style trim ring creates a mechanical lock that prevents tyre rotation on the wheel even under extreme lateral loads during high-speed cornering. The SCT off-road racing tyres have been specifically formulated with a compound and tread pattern designed for loose surface grip, whether you encounter clay, dirt, or mixed terrain at UK RC racing facilities. The foam inserts fitted to each tyre are critical for performance, as they control tyre flex, prevent excessive sidewall roll during cornering, and help maintain consistent contact patch pressure across varying speeds. The TSM-rated certification confirms that these wheels and tyres have been subjected to rigorous testing protocols to ensure they perform reliably with Traxxas's stability management systems, which actively manage throttle and brake inputs to prevent loss of traction and maintain vehicle control during high-speed runs. The complete pre-assembled design means there is zero assembly variability — every wheel arrives with identical tyre tension and foam insert positioning, crucial factors that directly impact handling consistency and lap-time repeatability in competitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for both 2WD and 4WD RC short course trucks? — These wheels fit 4WD models on both front and rear axles, whilst on 2WD vehicles they are suitable for rear fitment only. This flexibility makes them ideal if you run multiple vehicle configurations or plan to upgrade your fleet across both platforms. The 12 mm hex connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of Traxxas short course truck models, so you can check your specific vehicle manual to confirm fitment on your model.
- Do I need to glue or mount these tyres myself? — No, one of the key advantages of this product is that the tyres come pre-glued and already mounted to the wheels, with foam inserts already installed. This means you can unbox them and fit them directly to your vehicle's hubs without any additional assembly, adhesive application, or tyre mounting work, saving you significant preparation time.
- What does TSM-rated mean and why does it matter? — TSM stands for Traxxas Stability Management, which is Traxxas's proprietary electronic stability system. TSM-rated means these specific wheels and tyres have been tested and certified by Traxxas to work optimally with vehicles equipped with TSM technology. If you're running a TSM-equipped vehicle, this certification provides assurance that your wheel and tyre choice has been validated for reliable, predictable performance with your vehicle's electronic stability systems.
- What is the purpose of the foam inserts? — The foam inserts installed in these tyres manage tyre flex and control how much the tyre sidewalls compress during cornering and braking. By pre-installing the correct foam insert density, Traxxas ensures consistent handling characteristics, prevents excessive tyre roll during aggressive manoeuvres, and helps maintain predictable contact patch behaviour across different driving speeds and track conditions. This is particularly important for competitive drivers where handling consistency directly impacts lap times.
- Are these wheels available in other colours? — Traxxas offers SCT Split-Spoke wheels in multiple colour options, including orange and black variants. These green wheels provide a distinctive appearance that sets your RC truck apart on the track or trail, and the split-spoke design is available across the colour range, so you can choose the aesthetic that best matches your vehicle.
- Can I use these tyres on other wheel brands? — These are Traxxas SCT off-road racing tyres specifically pre-glued to Traxxas's own Split-Spoke wheels. Because they arrive as a fully assembled unit, swapping the tyres to different wheels would require removing the adhesive and re-mounting them on new wheels. Traxxas manufactures these as matched pairs to ensure optimal balance and performance characteristics, so we recommend using them as supplied on their dedicated wheels.
- What track conditions are these tyres designed for? — The SCT off-road racing tyre tread pattern and rubber compound have been engineered specifically for loose surface conditions, including clay and dirt terrain common at RC racing venues across the UK. The tread design provides consistent grip on these surfaces, though the specific performance will vary depending on moisture content, soil composition, and temperature conditions at your local track.
