Built to exacting Traxxas standards, this two-piece set combines stunning aesthetics with serious off-road capability.

The combination of premium tyres, foam inserts for suspension compliance, and precision wheel engineering means you're investing in a complete package that will transform your driving experience. Available now from RC Model Shop with UK stock ready to ship, these wheel and tyre assemblies are the smart choice for anyone serious about their RC hobby.

Key Features

• Sledgehammer Tyres with Open Block Tread — The Sledgehammer tyres feature an innovative open block tread design that actively clears mud, debris and loose material from the contact patch, delivering unmatched traction on grass, dirt, sand and other loose surfaces where standard RC tyres struggle to grip effectively.
• Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued — These wheels arrive fully assembled and permanently glued to the tyres, eliminating the need for additional preparation, adhesive application or time-consuming assembly work; simply unbox and install on your RC truck.
• 3.8-Inch Black Chrome Wheels — The premium 3.8-inch diameter black chrome wheels combine eye-catching aesthetics with robust structural engineering, providing the perfect foundation for high-performance off-road driving whilst maintaining the polished appearance your RC collection deserves.
• Black Chrome Wheel Covers — Matching black chrome wheel covers enhance the visual appeal of these assemblies and provide a factory-finished look that sets them apart from basic wheel and tyre combinations available elsewhere.
• Integrated Foam Inserts — Each tyre assembly includes purpose-designed foam inserts that work in harmony with your truck's suspension system to provide appropriate compliance and shock absorption, improving traction consistency and control across varying terrain.
• 17mm Hex Fitting — The 17mm splined hex connection ensures secure, wobble-free mounting on Traxxas vehicles engineered to accept these fittings, with no risk of loose or unreliable fitment.
• Suitable for Front and Rear — These wheels and tyres can be used in any position on your truck, providing complete flexibility in your drivetrain configuration and allowing you to maintain consistent traction across all four corners.
• Sold as a Pair — The package includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing options for front/rear setup variations or allowing you to maintain a spare set ready to swap in when needed.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas wheel and tyre assemblies represent the pinnacle of 1:8 scale RC engineering, developed through years of competition experience and real-world testing. The Sledgehammer tyres utilise a carefully formulated tread compound and block pattern that has been proven to deliver superior traction on the loose, unprepared terrain that characterises most off-road RC driving environments. The open block design doesn't simply provide grip — it actively evacuates mud and debris, maintaining a clean contact patch even when conditions deteriorate. The 3.8-inch diameter positioning strikes the perfect balance between ground clearance, speed potential and traction stability. The black chrome wheels are manufactured from durable materials engineered to withstand the punishment of high-speed runs, jumps and aggressive cornering without cracking, warping or failing. The foam inserts are precision-designed to work with Traxxas's advanced suspension geometry, providing the exact amount of give needed to keep tyres planted whilst preventing excessive deformation under hard driving. When mounted on compatible Traxxas Sledge 4WD brushless electric monster trucks, these assemblies transform vehicle dynamics, providing noticeably improved cornering grip, acceleration traction and overall stability. The glued construction means no risk of tyre separation at high speeds, providing the safety and reliability you need whether you're testing a new track layout or competing in organised RC events across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas vehicles are these Sledge wheels and tyres compatible with? — These assemblies are specifically engineered for the complete range of Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Trucks, including models available in Blue, Orange, Green and Red colour variants. They feature the 17mm hex fitting that these vehicles use, ensuring perfect alignment and secure mounting without modification.
• What makes Sledgehammer tyres better for off-road driving? — The Sledgehammer tyre's open block tread design actively clears mud, sand and debris from the contact patch, maintaining grip when competing tyres would lose traction and spin. This design is particularly effective on loose surfaces, muddy terrain and areas where conventional RC tyres become clogged with material. If you're looking for the best possible off-road traction for your 1:8 scale truck, Sledgehammer tyres are genuinely among the finest options available anywhere in the RC market.
• Do these come ready to use immediately? — Yes. These wheels and tyres arrive fully assembled with the tyres already glued permanently to the wheels and foam inserts already installed. Simply remove them from packaging and install them on your truck using the supplied mounting screws — no additional adhesive, preparation or assembly is required.
• What is the difference between this TRX9572T model and alternative Traxxas wheel options? — The TRX9572T features black chrome wheels with matching black chrome wheel covers combined with Sledgehammer tyres, delivering a complete performance package that prioritises off-road traction and durability. Alternative configurations may feature different wheel finishes or tyre compounds designed for different driving environments. If you primarily bash on grass, dirt and loose terrain and want maximum mud-clearing capability, this TRX9572T combination is the optimal choice.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst these wheels and tyres represent premium performance options, the pre-assembled, pre-glued construction makes them extremely user-friendly. Beginners will appreciate the simplicity of installation and the immediate improvement in traction that Sledgehammer tyres provide, making off-road driving more forgiving and enjoyable when learning proper driving techniques.
• Will these wheels fit vehicles other than the Sledge? — These assemblies are specifically designed for Traxxas Sledge monsters trucks featuring 17mm hex fittings. For compatibility with other RC vehicles, you should verify that your truck has matching 17mm splined hex hubs before purchasing.
