Key Features

• Pre-Glued and Assembled Construction — The tyres come factory-glued to the wheels and mounted with foam inserts, meaning there's no waiting for adhesive to cure or struggling with tyre mounting. You can install them on your truck and drive immediately, saving valuable setup time and delivering consistent, reliable performance from the moment you unbox them.
• Kumho Tyre Compound — Kumho tyres are engineered specifically for off-road RC performance, delivering excellent grip on a variety of track surfaces and terrains. The tyre compound is optimised for short course racing, providing responsive handling and predictable traction whether you're driving indoors or outdoors.
• Satin Chrome Split-Spoke Design — The distinctive Split-Spoke wheel pattern features a satin chrome finish that delivers a premium, race-ready appearance. This design is not only visually striking but also provides structural strength and reduced unsprung weight compared to heavier wheel designs, improving acceleration and handling response.
• Black Beadlock-Style Trim — The black beadlock-style outer ring complements the satin chrome finish and adds visual depth to the wheel design. Beyond aesthetics, beadlock-style wheels help secure the tyre bead during aggressive cornering and high-speed driving, maintaining consistent tyre grip and reducing the risk of tyre slip on the wheel.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each wheel comes fitted with foam inserts that are essential for short course racing. The foam provides cushioning and shock absorption, protecting both the tyre and the wheel rim from damage during aggressive driving and high-impact landings. This extends the lifespan of your wheels and maintains consistent performance throughout their service life.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The 12mm hexagonal drive fitting is the industry-standard connection for 1/10 scale RC trucks. This universal fitment ensures compatibility with a vast range of Traxxas models and makes wheel changes quick and straightforward using standard RC tools.
• Dual Profile Tyre Design — The 2.2-inch outer diameter and 3.0-inch inner diameter dual profile design delivers the optimal balance of speed and grip for short course racing. This proven sizing has become the standard for competitive 1/10 scale short course trucks because it delivers excellent acceleration, top speed and corner grip.
• Front and Rear Compatibility (4WD) or Rear Only (2WD) — For 4WD vehicles, these wheels are suitable for both front and rear positions, giving you maximum flexibility in your setup. For 2WD models, they're engineered specifically for rear mounting where traction is most critical, ensuring your Slash 2WD delivers optimal handling characteristics.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheel and tyre assemblies represent the pinnacle of OEM (original equipment manufacturer) short course truck engineering. The Kumho tyre compound has been specifically formulated to deliver outstanding grip and longevity on the hard-packed surfaces typical of short course racing, whether you're running indoor carpet tracks or outdoor clay and concrete circuits. The 2.2-inch outer diameter combined with the 3.0-inch inner beadlock profile creates a wheel package that has been proven in competitive racing environments worldwide. The satin chrome Split-Spoke design isn't merely cosmetic—the spoke pattern distributes stress evenly across the wheel face, improving durability and reducing rotational inertia for more responsive acceleration. With foam inserts pre-installed, you benefit from factory-optimised cushioning that balances impact absorption with precise handling feedback. The 12mm hex interface ensures rock-solid fitment to your RC truck, eliminating wobble or play that could compromise cornering precision. Whether you're running a brushless 4WD Slash Ultimate or a 2WD Slash VXL, these wheels maintain the performance standards that Traxxas is renowned for. The pre-glued construction guarantees that the tyre-to-wheel bond meets Traxxas factory specifications, ensuring consistent tyre pressure retention and eliminating the adhesive-related failures that sometimes occur with aftermarket wheel building. For short course racing in the UK RC community, these wheels deliver competition-grade quality at a fair price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels compatible with my Traxxas Slash? — Yes, these TRX6874 wheels are compatible with a wide range of Traxxas Slash models including the Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Slash VXL 4x4 RTR in all colours, Slash 2WD RTR VXL-3S Brushless, and Slash Extreme HD VXL 2WD RTR. They fit both 4WD front and rear positions and 2WD rear positions depending on your specific model. Always verify your model number before ordering if you're unsure of compatibility.
• Do I need to glue the tyres to the wheels myself? — No, these wheels come completely pre-assembled and pre-glued, meaning the tyres are already bonded to the wheels with Traxxas factory adhesive. You can install them directly onto your RC truck and start driving immediately without any waiting time for adhesive to cure. This is a significant advantage over building wheels from separate tyre and wheel components.
• What's the advantage of beadlock-style wheels? — Beadlock-style wheels, like these Split-Spoke Traxxas design, feature an outer ring that helps grip and secure the tyre bead during high-speed cornering and aggressive landings. This prevents tyre slip on the wheel during extreme driving manoeuvres and maintains consistent tyre pressure. The beadlock design is particularly valuable during competitive racing where every fraction of grip matters.
• Are foam inserts essential? — Yes, foam inserts are critical for short course truck performance. They absorb impact shock during high-speed landings and aggressive driving, protecting both your tyres and wheels from damage. The foam also provides cushioning that improves handling feedback and traction consistency. These wheels come with foam inserts pre-installed, so you have everything you need straight from the box.
• Can I use these wheels on my 2WD Slash? — Yes, these wheels are specifically approved for 2WD Slash models including the Slash 2WD RTR VXL-3S and Slash Extreme HD VXL 2WD. However, they are designed for rear-wheel use only on 2WD vehicles. For front wheels on a 2WD Slash, you'll need to verify compatibility or choose a different wheel set.
• What makes Kumho tyres suitable for RC short course racing? — Kumho is a recognised tyre manufacturer that has developed specific off-road racing compounds for RC vehicles. The Kumho tyres included with these wheels are engineered to deliver optimal grip across a range of track surfaces—from indoor carpet to outdoor clay and concrete. The compound provides excellent responsiveness and predictable traction, making them ideal for both casual drivers and competitive racers.
• Will these wheels fit my RC truck immediately? — Yes, these wheels feature a standard 12mm hex fitting which is the universal connection used on virtually all 1/10 scale Traxxas trucks. Simply unbolt your existing wheels and slide these on. You'll be driving again in minutes with no additional setup required.
