Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, these wheels offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring your wheelie bar remains lightweight whilst maintaining the rigidity needed for reliable performance across all driving conditions and terrain types.
- Hard-Anodised Orange Finish — The brilliant orange-anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection against corrosion and wear, keeping your RC wheels looking fresh and performing reliably through countless hours of use in the UK's varied climate.
- Soft-Compound Tyres — Durable soft-compound tyres are specifically engineered to reduce side-to-side movement during wheelies, delivering the stable and consistent wheelie performance that every RC enthusiast seeks when pushing their machine to its limits.
- Precision Ball Bearings — Four 10x15x4 mm ball bearings are integrated into the wheel design to reduce friction and increase rotational precision, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of your wheelie bar assembly through minimised drag and wear.
- Included Axles and Hardware — The set includes two axles and two screws, providing everything you need for installation on compatible wheelie bar systems without requiring additional purchases or hunting for compatible hardware.
- Universal Compatibility — These wheels fit Traxxas 7776, 8976, and 9576 wheelie bars, making them compatible with a wide range of Traxxas vehicles including the Maxx, Sledge, X-Maxx, XRT, and other specialist models that utilise these standard wheelie bar systems.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas wheelie bar wheel set demonstrates exceptional engineering through its choice of materials and precision manufacturing processes. The 6061-T6 aluminium used in these wheels is the same aerospace-grade material trusted in high-performance applications worldwide, offering superior machinability and corrosion resistance compared to standard aluminium alloys. The hard-anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that's significantly harder than the base material, providing enhanced durability against the abrasive conditions encountered during regular RC use. The four 10x15x4 mm ball bearings featured in this design are precision-grade components that eliminate binding and maximise rotational efficiency, critical factors in achieving the smooth, predictable wheelie performance that drivers demand. The soft-compound tyres used on these wheels are formulated to provide optimal grip and reduce lateral movement, preventing the unpredictable sideways slipping that can occur with harder tyre compounds. Combined, these engineering choices ensure that your wheelie bar performs consistently whether you're practising controlled wheelies at your local RC track or pushing your truck to its limits during weekend bashing sessions across the UK.
