Technical Performance
These Traxxas wheels deliver genuine performance engineering built into every component. The 2.2-inch diameter provides the perfect scaling for 1/10 scale crawler proportions, maintaining authentic appearance whilst offering practical ground clearance for technical rock crawling and trail work. The plastic construction is engineered to absorb impacts without cracking or warping, critical for drivers who regularly tackle unforgiving terrain. The black chrome finish isn't merely decorative — it's applied using Traxxas's proprietary process to ensure superior adhesion and resistance to the chemicals, mud, water and UV exposure that outdoor RC adventures bring. The 12mm hex fitting system ensures rock-solid wheel retention, eliminating wobble and ensuring predictable handling across rocky obstacles and challenging climbs. Whether you're running these on the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG XL-5 1/10 6x6 RTD Crawler or the Ultimate RC Hauler with Winch, the wheels maintain Traxxas's reputation for reliable performance in demanding conditions. The centre caps complete the package, protecting your wheel hubs whilst maintaining the premium appearance that distinguishes a well-maintained crawler from casual bashers.
