Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These wheels are machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most trusted materials in RC engineering, providing exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending or deformation during intense driving sessions.
- Hard-Anodised Pink Finish — The brilliant eye-catching pink-anodised coating not only makes your wheelie bar stand out visually but also provides a protective hard-anodising layer that resists corrosion, scratches, and wear from regular use, ensuring your RC car UK remains looking fresh for years.
- Durable Soft-Compound Tyres — The included soft-compound tyres are specifically designed to reduce side-to-side movement and flex during wheelies, delivering stable and consistent performance whether you're performing dramatic stunts or high-speed runs.
- Four Precision Ball Bearings — Each wheel set includes four high-precision 5x8x2.5mm ball bearings that significantly reduce friction and increase rotational precision, ensuring smooth operation and reliable wheelie performance every time you drive.
- Complete Wheelie Bar Kit — This set includes everything needed to upgrade your wheelie bar assembly: the pair of aluminium wheels, four ball bearings, two O-rings for secure fitment, and two 5x8x0.3mm TW washers to complete the installation.

Technical Performance
These wheelie bar wheels are engineered with precision that reflects Traxxas's commitment to quality across all their RC product lines. The 6061-T6 aluminium is carefully machined to exact tolerances and then hard-anodised to create a protective surface that resists corrosion and extends component lifespan. The hard-anodising process doesn't just protect the metal—it creates an eye-catching pink finish that makes your RC car UK stand out at the track or bashing spot. The inclusion of four 5x8x2.5mm ball bearings ensures minimal friction during rotation, which is critical for consistent wheelie bar performance where even slight variations in wheel resistance can affect the vehicle's balance during high-speed manoeuvres. The soft-compound tyres included with this set are formulated to provide optimal grip characteristics whilst reducing lateral movement, which is essential when attempting controlled wheelies or managing weight transfer during aggressive acceleration. The O-rings and TW washers provide secure fitment that prevents any unwanted play or movement during use, ensuring reliable performance whether you're driving a brushless RC monster truck or electric stadium truck at maximum throttle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC vehicles are these wheelie bar wheels compatible with? — These wheels are specifically designed as replacement parts for the Traxxas Bandit VXL, Rustler VXL, and Stampede VXL models. If you own one of these brushless RC vehicles, these wheels will fit perfectly without any modification required.
- What makes 6061-T6 aluminium the right choice for wheelie bar wheels? — 6061-T6 aluminium is an aerospace-grade material that combines excellent strength with lightweight properties, making it ideal for RC applications. The T6 heat treatment process creates superior hardness and resistance to deformation, which is critical for wheelie bar components that experience constant stress during high-speed driving and stunt manoeuvres.
- Why do these wheels include four ball bearings? — The four 5x8x2.5mm ball bearings reduce friction during rotation, allowing the wheelie bar wheels to spin freely with minimal resistance. This is essential for maintaining consistent wheelie performance and ensuring that the wheelie bar can respond quickly to changes in vehicle weight distribution during acceleration and braking.
- What is the benefit of the soft-compound tyres? — The soft-compound tyres included with this set are formulated to provide superior grip whilst reducing sideways flex during wheelies. This combination ensures stable, consistent performance and prevents the tyre from rolling or slipping laterally, which can destabilise your RC car during high-speed manoeuvres.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, these are original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts manufactured by Traxxas. The part number TRX9461P ensures you're getting genuine Traxxas engineering and quality, not aftermarket substitutes that may not provide the same performance or compatibility.
- Do I need any special tools to install these wheels? — The installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC maintenance tools. The O-rings and washers provided ensure a secure fit that doesn't require additional fasteners or complicated assembly procedures.
