Overview
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, assembled, glued (split-spoke green wheels, 1.9" Response Tyres) VXL Rated (front) (2) TRX8373G represent a premium front wheel and tyre solution for serious RC enthusiasts across the UK. These factory-assembled and glued wheels come ready to bolt straight onto your compatible Traxxas RC vehicle, eliminating the need for additional setup or adhesive work. Whether you're running a high-performance brushless RC car UK or upgrading your existing setup, these genuine Traxxas components deliver the precision engineering and reliability that competitive RC drivers demand.
Designed specifically for pavement and on-road performance, the 1.9-inch Response tyres paired with eye-catching green split-spoke wheels offer both aesthetic appeal and functional superiority. The VXL rating ensures these tyres are engineered to handle the extreme speeds and demands of VXL-powered RC vehicles, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to maximise their ready-to-run RC investment. RC car UK enthusiasts will appreciate the balance of grip, durability and handling characteristics that make these wheels and tyres a trusted choice among weekend bashers and competitive racers alike.
This front wheel and tyre set comes as a pair (2x wheels with tyres pre-mounted and glued), so you'll be upgrading both front wheels in one purchase. The professional-grade construction means you get consistent performance across both wheels, ensuring balanced handling and predictable cornering on pavement surfaces.
Key Features
- Pre-Mounted and Glued Construction — The tyres come factory-glued to the wheels, which means there is no need to source adhesive or spend time mounting tyres yourself, allowing you to get straight onto the track or onto the road without delay or additional preparation.
- Split-Spoke Green Wheels — The distinctive split-spoke design provides a lightweight yet rigid wheel structure that resists deformation under high-speed cornering loads, whilst the vibrant green colour adds visual impact and helps you identify your RC car UK vehicle at the track or field.
- 1.9-Inch Response Tyres with Aggressive Tread Pattern — The Response tyre range features a meticulously engineered tread pattern that provides superior grip and bite on hard pavement surfaces, ensuring razor-sharp handling and predictable cornering even when pushing your brushless RC to its limits.
- High-Grip Rubber Compound — Traxxas engineers have formulated the tyre rubber with a high-grip compound specifically tuned for pavement performance, which delivers consistent traction and maintains grip levels across a wider range of temperatures and track conditions than standard rubber formulations.
- VXL-Rated for High-Speed Applications — The VXL rating confirms these tyres are engineered and tested to withstand the extreme rotational speeds and lateral forces generated by VXL brushless powertrains, meaning they maintain integrity and grip even at maximum velocity and during aggressive acceleration.
- Front Wheel Specification — As a front-specific wheel and tyre set, these components are engineered with geometry and characteristics optimised for steering response and cornering stability on the front axle, ensuring your ready-to-run RC benefits from manufacturer-intended handling characteristics.
- Pair of Two Wheels — This purchase includes two complete wheels with tyres mounted and glued, providing front axle coverage and ensuring matched performance across both steering wheels for balanced and predictable handling.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8373G wheel and tyre set exemplifies the engineering excellence that has made Traxxas a recognised leader in RC performance components across the United Kingdom. The 1.9-inch Response tyres utilise a carefully balanced blend of rubber compound stiffness and grip characteristics, providing the sharp cornering response that competitive RC drivers demand whilst maintaining durability through repeated high-speed sessions. The sticky compound is particularly effective on smooth pavement and prepared track surfaces where precision handling and predictable steering feedback are essential. The aggressive tread pattern is not merely cosmetic—it provides multiple contact points that bite into the surface and channel water away during wet conditions, maintaining traction when lesser-quality tyres would slip and slide. The green split-spoke wheels are manufactured from reinforced composite materials engineered to resist cracking and warping under the extreme stresses of high-speed cornering and rapid acceleration, ensuring they remain true and balanced through thousands of driving cycles. The factory-glued assembly process means the tyres are bonded using Traxxas' proprietary adhesive system, which creates a permanent, rock-solid connection between tyre and wheel that won't separate under any normal driving conditions. This professional-grade construction means you get the same quality components used in factory RC racing teams, translating to consistent lap times, predictable handling and long service life compared to budget alternative options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for track racing or just casual bashing? — These Response tyres are engineered for pavement performance and are equally at home on both competitive tracks and casual driving surfaces. The high-grip rubber compound and aggressive tread pattern provide the sharp handling response that competitive racers demand, whilst the durable construction means they'll withstand repeated abuse from weekend bashers. The VXL rating confirms they're built to handle the speeds and forces generated by high-performance brushless RC vehicles, making them suitable for both disciplines.
- What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These 1.9-inch Response tyres are designed for compatible Traxxas RC vehicles that accept 1.9-inch front wheels. You should consult your vehicle's manual or the Traxxas website to confirm compatibility with your specific model, as wheel sizing varies across different Traxxas product lines.
- How long will these tyres last? — Tyre longevity depends entirely on driving style, surface conditions and maintenance. The durable high-grip rubber compound is engineered for extended life compared to softer racing compounds, making it a good choice for mixed-use drivers. Smooth track surfaces will extend tyre life compared to abrasive or rough pavement. Regular cleaning and storage in a cool place will also help maintain the tyre compound and prevent premature hardening.
- Can I use these on carpet or off-road surfaces? — No, these are specifically engineered for pavement performance. The aggressive tread pattern and high-grip compound are optimised for hard, smooth surfaces. On carpet or soil, these tyres will not perform well as the tread pattern is designed for pavement bite rather than soft-surface sinking. Traxxas produces different tyre ranges optimised for carpet and off-road use if you need those surfaces.
- Why are the tyres pre-glued? — The factory gluing process uses Traxxas' proprietary adhesive formulation and professional equipment to create a permanent, rock-solid bond between tyre and wheel. This eliminates the need for you to purchase separate adhesive, spend time mounting and gluing, and potentially creates a stronger, more consistent bond than home application. The pre-glued approach gets you on the track faster and removes variables from the setup process.
- Are these original Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas OEM parts, manufactured to the highest quality standards and carrying the full Traxxas warranty and support. You're purchasing the same components used in factory Traxxas builds and racing teams.
