The hard-anodised finish provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your wheelie bar wheels maintain their pristine appearance through countless bashing sessions on UK tracks, parks, and terrain. The blue anodised coating is not only visually striking but also protective, making these wheels suitable for both indoor and outdoor RC enthusiasts who demand quality components that last.

Wheelies are one of the most satisfying stunts in RC driving, and having the right equipment makes all the difference. These Traxxas wheelie bar wheels are engineered to provide the stable, consistent performance needed to nail those perfect wheelies every time. The combination of premium materials, precision bearings, and soft-compound tyres creates a system that reduces unwanted side-to-side movement, giving you better control and more impressive results. Compatible with Traxxas wheelie bars 7776, 8976, and 9576, these wheels work perfectly with popular Traxxas models including the Maxx, Sledge, X-Maxx, XRT, Funco Motorsports, and WideMaxx ranges.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These wheels are machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the strongest and most durable aluminium alloys available for RC applications. This material choice ensures the wheels can withstand the repeated impacts and stresses of wheelie manoeuvres without cracking, bending, or breaking, making them ideal for serious bashers and competition drivers across the UK.
• Hard-Anodised Blue Finish — The hard-anodised coating applied to these wheels serves a dual purpose: it creates a stunning, eye-catching blue colour that makes your RC car stand out, while also providing a protective layer that resists corrosion, scratches, and UV damage. This finish ensures your wheels maintain their brilliant appearance for years of bashing and racing.
• Four 10x15x4mm Sealed Ball Bearings — Precision ball bearings are essential for smooth, frictionless rotation of your wheelie bar wheels. These wheels include four high-quality 10x15x4mm sealed ball bearings that dramatically reduce friction compared to standard wheels, allowing for faster spin-up and more consistent wheelie performance. The sealed design keeps dirt and moisture out, extending bearing life.
• Soft-Compound Tyres — The durable soft-compound tyres fitted to these wheels are specifically designed to minimise side-to-side movement during wheelie manoeuvres. This stability is crucial for achieving consistent, controlled wheelies without the wheels slipping or sliding unexpectedly, giving you the confidence to push your stunts further.
• Complete Hardware Included — This set includes everything you need to install the wheels on your wheelie bar: two axles and two mounting screws are supplied, eliminating the need to hunt down additional parts. Simply unbox and install on your compatible wheelie bar.
• Universal Wheelie Bar Compatibility — These wheels are designed to fit Traxxas wheelie bars numbered 7776, 8976, and 9576, making them compatible with a wide range of popular Traxxas RC models. Whether you're running a Maxx Slash Short Course Truck, Sledge Monster Truck, X-Maxx, XRT, Funco Motorsports Sand Car, or WideMaxx, you can upgrade your wheelie bar with confidence.

Technical Performance

The engineering behind these Traxxas wheelie bar wheels reflects decades of RC innovation and real-world testing. The 6061-T6 aluminium used in their construction is the same material trusted in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications, chosen specifically for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to fatigue. When you're performing repeated wheelies—impacts that generate significant forces—you need wheels that won't fail under stress. The precision machining ensures perfect roundness and balance, critical factors in achieving smooth, consistent wheelies without vibration or wobbling. The hard-anodised coating adds significant hardness to the aluminium surface, with typical anodised layers providing hardness ratings far exceeding the base aluminium material itself. This protective layer is particularly important for UK RC drivers who may encounter damp conditions, as anodised aluminium resists corrosion far better than bare metal. The four 10x15x4mm sealed ball bearings are precision-grade components that minimise rotational resistance and maintain their performance over extended use. These bearings are pre-installed and sealed, meaning they're protected from dust, dirt, and moisture common in outdoor RC environments. The soft-compound tyre material deserves special mention: unlike hard plastic or rubber compounds, soft-compound rubber provides superior grip and conformability, allowing the tyre to deform slightly as it contacts the ground. This deformation absorbs minor irregularities in wheelie bar contact surfaces and reduces the tendency for the wheel to slip sideways. The overall diameter and width of these wheels are optimised for wheelie bar use specifically, providing the right balance of contact patch, weight, and rotational inertia for smooth wheelie performance across the range of compatible Traxxas vehicles, from the 1/8-scale monster trucks to specialty sand cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas vehicles are these wheelie bar wheels compatible with? — These wheels fit Traxxas wheelie bars 7776, 8976, and 9576, making them compatible with the Traxxas Maxx, Maxx Slash, Sledge, Sledge Belted, WideMaxx, X-Maxx, X-Maxx Belted, X-Maxx Ultimate, XRT VXL-8S, XRT Ultimate, Funco Motorsports Pro Scale, and any other model using these wheelie bar numbers. Always check your specific model's documentation to confirm which wheelie bar number your vehicle uses.
• What makes these wheels better than standard plastic wheelie bar wheels? — The combination of machined 6061-T6 aluminium construction, sealed ball bearings, and soft-compound tyres creates a significantly superior product compared to plastic alternatives. Aluminium is stronger, more durable, and less prone to cracking under the repeated stress of wheelies. The sealed bearings reduce friction for smoother performance, and the soft-compound tyres grip far better, preventing the unwanted side-to-side slipping that occurs with harder wheel compounds.
• Are these wheelie bar wheels suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. While these are premium wheels suitable for competition use, beginners benefit just as much from their superior stability and durability. The soft-compound tyres actually make it easier for newer drivers to nail consistent wheelies by providing better grip and reducing slippage. If you're just learning to wheelie, upgrading to these wheels will give you more confidence and better results.
• Do I need any tools to install these wheels? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools—typically a hex key or screwdriver depending on your wheelie bar design. The axles and screws are included, so you simply slide the wheels onto the axles, secure with the provided screws, and attach to your wheelie bar. No special tools or additional parts are needed.
• How do sealed ball bearings improve performance? — Sealed ball bearings reduce rotational friction, allowing your wheelie bar wheels to spin faster and more freely. This translates to smoother wheelies and better control during stunt manoeuvres. The sealed design also keeps out dirt, dust, and moisture, extending bearing life and maintaining consistent performance over months of use in UK outdoor conditions.
• Can I use these wheels on other wheelie bars besides Traxxas? — These wheels are specifically engineered and tested for Traxxas wheelie bars 7776, 8976, and 9576. While the universal 10x15x4mm bearing size might technically fit other brands' wheelie bars, we recommend using them only with compatible Traxxas bars for optimal performance and fitment.
• What's the benefit of hard-anodised finish over regular paint? — Hard anodising creates a much more durable protective layer than paint. The anodised coating is harder than the base aluminium itself, providing superior scratch resistance and corrosion protection. It won't chip or peel like paint, and it maintains its brilliant blue colour even after extensive use in wet UK conditions or intense bashing sessions.
