Key Features

• Ultra-Rugged Sledgehammer Tyres — These premium off-road tyres provide extreme traction and control across a wide variety of terrain types, which is essential when you're tackling loose soil, sand, grass and mixed outdoor surfaces where grip is everything.
• Open Block Tread Design — The Sledgehammer's distinctive open block tread pattern is engineered to actively clear mud and debris from the tyre surface as you drive, maintaining consistent grip on loose and messy surfaces where standard tyres would quickly clog and lose traction.
• Pre-Assembled and Factory-Glued — Every wheel in this set comes completely assembled and glued at the factory, eliminating hours of workshop time and the risk of improper assembly; simply unbox and fit to your truck.
• 3.8-Inch Black Modular Wheels — The substantial 3.8-inch diameter provides a commanding stance and aggressive appearance, whilst the black finish with grey wheel covers offers a striking visual contrast that looks equally at home on the track or in the backyard.
• Foam Inserts Included — Each tyre is fitted with foam inserts that provide essential support and maintain tyre shape during high-speed cornering and jumps, preventing tyre deformation and ensuring consistent handling characteristics.
• 17mm Hex Fitting — These wheels use the standard 17mm splined hex connection, which is the industry-standard fitting for 1/8 scale monster trucks and ensures compatibility with Traxxas Sledge models.
• Front and Rear Compatible — This versatile wheel set can be fitted to either the front or rear of your Sledge truck, giving you flexibility in your setup and maintenance routines.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas TRX9572 wheels and tyres represent the pinnacle of 1/8 scale off-road tyre engineering. The Sledgehammer tyre compound is specifically formulated to deliver exceptional grip on loose, unprepared terrain where standard street-focused tyres fail completely. The open block tread design works by actively shedding mud and debris rather than allowing material to pack into the tread channels, which is the primary cause of traction loss on dirty tracks and natural terrain. The 3.8-inch diameter provides a substantial contact patch, distributing your truck's weight effectively and maximising available grip. The foam inserts are precision-moulded to support the tyre wall during aggressive cornering whilst remaining compliant enough to maintain contact with irregular ground surfaces. The modular wheel design allows for easy tyre changes when the time comes, and the 17mm hex fitting is universal across the Traxxas Sledge range. These wheels are constructed to withstand the extreme forces generated by a powerful brushless 1/8 scale monster truck, tolerating high-speed runs, massive jumps and hard landings without failure. The grey wheel covers provide both aesthetic appeal and practical protection, whilst the black wheel finish delivers a premium appearance that complements any colour variant of the Sledge truck.
