Overview
Transform your 2WD electric RC car with the Traxxas Anaconda Tyres Pre-Glued on RXT Wheels (2.8in) – a complete, ready-to-bolt-on tyre and wheel solution that takes the hassle out of RC car setup. Whether you're shopping for RC car wheels and tyres in the UK or looking to upgrade your existing Rustler 2WD, these assembled and glued wheels represent premium performance street rubber backed by Traxxas' legendary engineering. The Anaconda tyres are specifically formulated for exceptional grip and longevity, making them ideal for drivers who demand sticky traction and predictable handling on high-speed runs. If you're serious about getting the best out of your RC car UK setup, these pre-glued wheels eliminate the need for messy tyre mounting and gluing – simply unbox, bolt them on, and drive.
The Anaconda range has earned a reputation among RC enthusiasts as one of the finest performance street tyres available for 1/10 scale electric vehicles. These aren't bargain-basement wheels; they're engineered with a specially formulated tyre compound that balances exceptional wear resistance with the kind of sticky grip that keeps your RC model planted during aggressive high-speed cornering. The RXT black and chrome wheels provide a striking aesthetic that complements any RC truck, buggy or racing platform, while the tough construction ensures they can handle serious driving demands without flexing or cracking. For anyone running a Traxxas Rustler 2WD or similar 2WD electric rear setup, these TRX6768X wheels represent the kind of quality upgrade that transforms your driving experience from casual bashing to genuine performance.
What sets this package apart is the engineering that goes into every detail. The moulded-foam inserts work in concert with the directional tread design to deliver a perfectly balanced feel, whether you're pushing your RC car to its limits on a smooth surface or tackling slightly rougher terrain. The TSM rating confirms these wheels are approved for high-speed applications, giving you confidence that they've been tested and validated by Traxxas' engineers for serious performance. This is the kind of ready-to-run tyre solution that lets you focus on driving rather than wrestling with glue, tape and mounting equipment.
Key Features
- Pre-Glued and Assembled Design — These tyres arrive already mounted and glued to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming process of mounting tyres, applying glue and waiting for adhesive to cure, allowing you to bolt them straight onto your RC car and start driving immediately.
- Anaconda Performance Street Tyres — The specially formulated tyre compound provides exceptional wear resistance and sticky traction, meaning your RC car will grip consistently lap after lap without the tyres degrading quickly, which is essential for drivers who log serious run time on their vehicles.
- RXT Black and Chrome Wheels — These tough wheels feature a striking two-tone finish that looks premium while offering the durability needed for serious driving, and the 12mm hex fitment ensures compatibility with a massive range of 1/10 scale RC vehicles.
- Moulded-Foam Inserts — The integrated foam inserts work alongside the directional tread pattern to maintain perfect balance throughout the tyre, giving your RC car a responsive, predictable feel whether you're cruising or pushing hard into high-speed corners.
- Directional Tread Design — The tread pattern is specifically engineered to channel water and maintain grip at various angles, which translates to consistent handling characteristics across different driving conditions and speeds.
- TSM Rated for High-Speed — These wheels carry Traxxas' TSM approval, confirming they have been tested and validated for high-speed applications, giving you the confidence that they are built to the exacting standards Traxxas is famous for.
- 2WD Electric Rear Fitment — Specifically designed for the rear of 2WD electric RC vehicles like the Rustler, these wheels are optimised for the unique balance and handling characteristics required by 2WD platforms.
- Pair of Two — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, representing a complete rear wheel upgrade for your 2WD electric RC car, so you're getting everything you need for one purchase.
Technical Performance
The Anaconda tyres represent the pinnacle of street tyre engineering for 1/10 scale RC cars, with a compound formulation that has been refined through countless hours of testing by Traxxas' development team. The 2.8-inch diameter wheels are the standard sizing for 1/10 scale sport and electric vehicles in the UK RC car market, offering the ideal balance between ground clearance and low centre of gravity. The moulded-foam inserts aren't simply padding – they're precision-engineered components that control how the tyre flexes under load, maintaining consistent contact patch geometry whether you're accelerating, braking or cornering at high speed. The directional tread design works in partnership with the foam inserts to manage grip dynamics across the full range of driving speeds and angles. At high speeds, the balanced architecture prevents tyre squirm and maintains predictable steering feedback. The RXT wheels themselves are constructed from tough materials engineered to withstand the stresses of 2WD racing, where single-axle platforms place greater load concentration on fewer wheels. The black and chrome finish isn't merely cosmetic – the multi-layer coating protects the underlying material from UV degradation and moisture exposure, important considerations for RC cars that might be stored outdoors or driven in variable UK weather conditions. The 12mm hex connection is the industry standard for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, ensuring straightforward installation on any compatible chassis. Whether you're running these on a stock Rustler 2WD or other brushless electric platforms, the Anaconda tyres deliver the kind of consistent performance that allows drivers to focus on technique rather than worrying about tyre degradation or unpredictable handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners or only experienced RC drivers? — The pre-glued assembly makes these excellent for drivers of any experience level – beginners benefit from the no-hassle setup, whilst experienced drivers appreciate the performance characteristics. The Anaconda compound is forgiving enough for recreational driving whilst offering the precision needed for competitive use.
- What vehicles are these compatible with? — These wheels are designed for 2WD electric rear fitment on 1/10 scale RC vehicles, particularly the Traxxas Rustler 2WD. If you own a 2WD electric RC car with a 12mm hex, these will fit, though fitment on other brands should be verified before purchase.
- Do I need to do anything before fitting them? — No – the tyres are already glued to the wheels with foam inserts installed. Simply remove them from the box and bolt them onto your RC car's rear axle using the 12mm hex connector.
- How do these compare to other Traxxas tyre options? — Anaconda tyres are street-focused performance rubber, differing from Traxxas' Ribbed tyres (which are more all-terrain oriented) and the Alias tyres (which have different compound characteristics). The Anaconda are preferred for on-road high-speed driving where consistent grip and wear resistance matter most.
- Will these fit my existing RC wheels? — These are complete wheel and tyre assemblies – you cannot separate the tyres from the RXT wheels without significant effort. They are designed to replace your existing rear wheels as a complete unit.
- What does TSM rated mean? — TSM rating from Traxxas means these components have been tested and approved for high-speed applications, confirming they meet Traxxas' performance and durability standards for vehicles running at elevated speeds.
- Can I use these on the front of my RC car? — These are specifically designed for 2WD electric rear fitment. They are not recommended for front use on 2WD vehicles due to the specific balance and handling characteristics engineered into their design.
- How long do these tyres last? — The Anaconda compound is formulated for exceptional wear resistance. Longevity depends on driving intensity, surface conditions and maintenance, but drivers typically report many hours of use before needing replacement.
