TRX8670

Overview

The Traxxas Tyres, Talon EXT 3.8in (2 pcs) TRX8670 are premium all-terrain tyres designed specifically for high-performance 1/8 scale RC trucks. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or just getting started with your first RC car, these tyres deliver the aggressive traction and durability needed for serious off-road bashing. Engineered for the demands of modern brushless RC trucks capable of extreme speeds, the Talon EXT range represents Traxxas's commitment to quality and performance across their entire vehicle lineup.

These tyres are ideal for RC bashers, competitors, and hobbyists who demand reliable, predictable handling across varied terrain. The Talon EXT 3.8in size is perfectly suited to larger 1/8 scale RC truck platforms, providing the right balance of grip, sidewall support, and overall durability. If you're running a high-performance ready to run RC truck or custom build, investing in quality tyres like these is essential for maximising your vehicle's potential and keeping your RC driving experience enjoyable and consistent.

Supplied as a pair with foam inserts already included, these tyres are ready to mount onto your RC truck wheels straight from the box. The comprehensive engineering behind the Talon EXT design makes them a popular choice across UK RC communities, from casual weekend bashers to competitive racers seeking that extra edge in off-road performance.

Key Features

• All-terrain Tread Pattern — The aggressive tread design is engineered to bite into loose, sandy, muddy and rocky surfaces with superior traction, ensuring your RC truck maintains grip in challenging off-road conditions where standard tyres would slip and struggle.
• Tougher Rubber Compound — The increased rubber durability reduces sidewall degradation and puncture risk during intense driving sessions, meaning your tyres last longer and perform consistently over time, ultimately offering better value for money.
• Thicker Sidewalls — Reinforced sidewall construction provides additional structural support and cushioning, which is critical when your RC truck is being pushed to extreme speeds or traversing rough, uneven terrain that would otherwise cause typical tyres to deform or fail.
• 6S Wheel Speed Rated — These tyres are specifically engineered to handle the punishment delivered by high-power 6S LiPo battery systems that produce extreme wheel speeds, maintaining their shape and grip even under the most demanding performance conditions.
• Foam Inserts Included — The included foam inserts dampen vibration, improve handling characteristics, and help maintain tyre shape during hard cornering and acceleration, eliminating the need to purchase inserts separately and saving you money.
• Pair Pack Format — Sold as a matched pair, ensuring consistent performance across both tyres and reducing the likelihood of handling imbalances that could occur if you mixed different tyre types or conditions.
• 3.8 Inch Diameter — Purpose-designed for 1/8 scale RC trucks, this size provides the optimal balance between ground clearance, rolling resistance, and overall vehicle stability for serious off-road performance.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Talon EXT 3.8in tyres represent a significant step up in quality and performance compared to entry-level or budget alternatives. The engineering philosophy behind these tyres focuses on delivering genuine all-terrain capability that works across sand, mud, rock, grass, and mixed surfaces. The aggressive tread pattern has been specifically developed to maximise contact patch in varied conditions, with each lug positioned to shed debris and maintain bite even when driving through challenging terrain. The tougher rubber compound used throughout the tyre carcass resists the rapid wear and degradation that affects standard compounds, particularly when exposed to extreme temperatures and speeds. The thicker sidewalls are not simply added for appearance; they provide crucial structural rigidity that prevents the tyre from rolling or deforming excessively during hard cornering at high speed, which is especially important when running powerful brushless systems and high-capacity LiPo batteries that enable 6S power delivery. These engineering choices combine to create a tyre that maintains consistent performance throughout its service life, delivering predictable handling that allows drivers to push their RC trucks harder with confidence. The included foam inserts are precision-engineered to complement the tyre characteristics, absorbing impact energy and maintaining ideal tyre pressure distribution during dynamic driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are Traxxas Talon EXT 3.8in tyres suitable for my 1/8 scale RC truck? — Yes, these tyres are specifically designed for 1/8 scale vehicles. However, ensure your RC truck wheel diameter specification matches the 3.8in size to guarantee proper fitment and performance. Check your vehicle manual or contact us if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model.
• What makes these tyres better than standard off-road RC tyres? — The Talon EXT range features a tougher rubber compound, thicker sidewalls, and an aggressive tread pattern engineered specifically for high-speed, high-stress applications. These features combine to deliver superior traction, longer tyre life, and more consistent handling compared to entry-level alternatives. If you're running a brushless RC truck or pushing speeds above typical nitro levels, the investment in Talon EXT tyres is worthwhile.
• Do I need to buy foam inserts separately? — No, foam inserts are included in this package, saving you additional expense and ensuring you get inserts specifically matched to the Talon EXT tyre profile. This means you can mount and run these tyres immediately upon receiving them.
• Are these tyres suitable for racing or just bashing? — The Talon EXT range is versatile enough for both competitive racing and casual bashing. The aggressive tread pattern provides excellent traction on varied terrain, making them popular with bashers, whilst the durable construction and consistent performance appeal to racers seeking reliable tyres they can depend on during events.
• Can I run these tyres on 4S or 3S battery systems, or are they only for 6S? — The 6S rating indicates these tyres are engineered to handle the extreme speeds and forces generated by 6S LiPo systems. You can absolutely run them on lower-voltage systems like 3S or 4S; they will simply perform even better, with even longer tyre life and potentially superior grip due to lower operational stress.
• How often will I need to replace these tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance. The tougher rubber compound means these tyres outlast standard options, but aggressive bashing on concrete or extremely abrasive surfaces will wear them faster than controlled driving on dirt and grass. Inspecting for visible wear, cracking, or baldness will tell you when replacement is needed.
• Are these compatible with all wheel types? — The Talon EXT 3.8in tyres are designed to fit standard 1/8 scale RC truck wheels. Ensure your wheels accept a 3.8in tyre size. If you're running beadlock wheels, speciality wheels, or non-standard sizes, verify compatibility before purchasing.
