TRX9461X

Overview

Traxxas wheelie bar wheels represent the perfect finishing touch for your RC monster truck or high-performance off-road vehicle. Machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminium and finished in brilliant blue anodising, these wheels deliver both stunning visual impact and exceptional performance. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade your existing Traxxas model, or you're seeking genuine OEM replacement parts for your ready to run RC truck, these wheelie bar wheels are engineered to professional standards by one of the world's leading RC manufacturers.

The wheelie bar is a critical component of any serious RC monster truck setup, providing stability during acceleration and helping to maintain control during aggressive driving. These genuine Traxxas wheels ensure that your wheelie bar performs at its absolute best, whether you're bashing in your garden, competing at your local RC club, or enjoying high-speed runs at a UK RC racing venue. The hard-anodised blue finish doesn't just look fantastic—it provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, meaning your investment will maintain its appearance and performance for years to come.

RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas spare parts and accessories for all skill levels, from beginners discovering the world of RC for the first time to experienced racers and competitive bashers. These wheelie bar wheels are an essential upgrade or replacement part for any Traxxas 1/10 scale monster truck owner in the UK.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The wheels are machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, one of the most respected materials in RC engineering, delivering an exceptional combination of lightweight strength and durability that can withstand the demands of serious off-road use.
• Hard-Anodised Blue Finish — The eye-catching blue anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits, including superior corrosion resistance and enhanced durability compared to standard painted finishes, ensuring your wheelie bar looks great season after season.
• Precision 5x8x2.5mm Ball Bearings — Four high-quality sealed ball bearings are included to reduce friction and increase precision, allowing the wheels to spin freely and smoothly for optimal wheelie bar performance and extended bearing life even in wet or dusty conditions.
• Durable Soft-Compound Tyres — The soft-compound rubber tyres reduce side-to-side movement and flex, providing stable and consistent wheelies whether you're performing stunts or simply enjoying high-speed runs, while the material composition offers excellent grip and longevity.
• Complete Hardware Package — The kit includes everything needed for installation, featuring two O-rings for secure component retention and two washers for proper load distribution, ensuring safe and reliable assembly.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — As an official Traxxas part, these wheels are engineered to exact specifications and will integrate perfectly with your existing Traxxas RC truck or buggy, guaranteeing compatibility and performance.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheelie bar wheels represent precision engineering at its finest, combining premium materials with meticulous manufacturing to deliver a component that performs reliably under demanding conditions. The 6061-T6 aluminium is the same material specification used in aircraft construction, chosen specifically for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional fatigue resistance. The hard-anodised blue finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a microscopically rough surface, improving durability and resistance to corrosion far beyond what a standard paint finish can offer. The four 5x8x2.5mm sealed ball bearings represent a critical performance element—sealed bearings keep dirt, sand, and moisture away from the rolling surfaces, which is essential for maintaining smooth operation over extended periods. The bearing size and specification are optimised for wheelie bar applications, where smooth, low-friction rotation directly impacts the stability of your RC vehicle during acceleration and wheelies. The soft-compound tyres featured on these wheels are engineered to provide the ideal balance between grip and flexibility, reducing the lateral movement that can cause unstable wheelies. This is particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who may be operating in variable weather conditions, where wet ground or sand can compromise traction. The complete kit includes all necessary fasteners—two O-rings that secure components together and two washers that distribute load evenly across mounting points, preventing component failure from stress concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these wheelie bar wheels fit my Traxxas RC monster truck? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas parts designed specifically for compatible Traxxas wheelie bar assemblies. The part number TRX9461X ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale Traxxas models including the Maxx series and other Traxxas platforms that feature wheelie bar systems. Always verify your specific model's compatibility by checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop.
• What makes 6061-T6 aluminium better than other materials for wheelie bar wheels? — 6061-T6 aluminium offers an outstanding combination of lightweight construction and structural rigidity, meaning your wheelie bar wheels will be strong enough to withstand repeated impacts and stress while remaining light enough not to compromise your vehicle's overall weight distribution. This material is harder and more durable than standard aluminium alloys and resists fatigue better over thousands of operating cycles.
• How do sealed ball bearings improve performance? — Sealed ball bearings completely enclose the rolling elements, preventing dirt, sand, water, and other contaminants from entering the bearing cavity. This is crucial for RC vehicles, especially in the UK where you might encounter wet grass, muddy terrain, or dusty tracks. Sealed bearings maintain smooth rotation for far longer than unsealed alternatives, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring consistent wheelie bar performance throughout the season.
• What is the purpose of the soft-compound tyres on a wheelie bar? — Soft-compound rubber is more flexible than hard-compound material, allowing the tyres to conform better to ground surfaces and reducing lateral movement. This flexibility is essential for wheelie bar function—it allows the wheels to maintain consistent contact with the ground while absorbing minor vibrations and impacts, resulting in stable, controlled wheelies rather than twitchy, unpredictable behaviour.
• Are these wheels suitable for replacement if my current ones are damaged? — Yes, these are genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) replacement parts from Traxxas, making them the ideal choice if your existing wheelie bar wheels have cracked, worn out, or become damaged through normal use. Installing new genuine parts ensures your vehicle returns to factory-specification performance.
• What tools do I need to install these wheels? — Installation is straightforward and requires basic RC tools—a small socket set or wrench to fit the axle screw size, and potentially a small Allen key depending on your specific wheelie bar design. Most RC enthusiasts in the UK have these tools as standard equipment in their RC toolkit.
• Can I use these wheels on different Traxxas models? — These are wheelie bar-specific wheels, so they will only fit wheelie bar assemblies that use this wheel size specification. They are not suitable for the main vehicle wheels. Always check your specific model's documentation to ensure compatibility with the wheelie bar system.
