These assembled wheels and tyres come pre-mounted and pre-glued, saving you valuable setup time and ensuring perfect factory balance right out of the box.

Key Features

• Sledgehammer Tyres with Directional Tread — The Sledgehammer tyre compound and directional tread pattern have been specifically developed to deliver game-changing performance whether you're racing on a competition track or bashing outdoors, giving you excellent traction in diverse conditions whilst running quieter than typical off-road RC tyres.
• Dual-Profile Wheel Design — The innovative dual-profile construction with 2.1-inch outer and 2.6-inch inner diameter dimensions provides both aesthetic appeal and functional performance benefits, ensuring your Mini Maxx sits at the correct ride height and stance for optimal handling.
• Pre-Mounted and Pre-Glued — These tyres arrive fully assembled on the charcoal grey wheels with professional factory gluing, eliminating the need for time-consuming mounting and gluing work and ensuring perfect balance from the moment you unbox them.
• Foam Inserts Included — High-quality foam inserts are permanently fitted to absorb bumps and impacts from rough terrain, maintaining tyre shape during aggressive cornering and preventing the spongy handling that comes from foam inserts that have deteriorated over time.
• Front Wheel Position Specific — These are front wheels only, engineered with geometry optimised for the front axle of your Mini Maxx, with dedicated handling characteristics that differ from rear wheels to provide balanced and predictable steering response.
• Charcoal Grey Aesthetic — The sophisticated charcoal grey wheel colour matches factory Mini Maxx styling and coordinates with multiple body colour options, giving your RC truck a professional, factory-fresh appearance.
• Perfect Replacement Part — As a genuine Traxxas part number TRX10771-GRAY, this is the exact factory replacement for Mini Maxx trucks, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility without modification.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas front wheels and tyres represent genuine engineered components designed for the Mini Maxx 4WD RC truck platform. The Sledgehammer tyre compound has been formulated through extensive research and development to balance grip, durability and wear characteristics across diverse surfaces from smooth track to rough outdoor terrain. The directional tread pattern is cut into the tyre surface to channel water and loose material away from the contact patch, improving traction whilst reducing noise levels compared to conventional off-road RC tyres. The foam inserts are precision-cut from closed-cell foam material to provide consistent compliance and shock absorption, maintaining their properties through hundreds of impacts and cycles. The dual-profile wheel design places the tyre bead at a 2.6-inch diameter whilst the outer tyre diameter reaches 2.1 inches, a geometry carefully optimised for Mini Maxx suspension geometry and handling balance. The charcoal grey wheel is manufactured from durable composite or aluminium material designed to withstand the stresses of aggressive driving whilst maintaining rigidity for responsive steering control. These front wheels arrive pre-glued with the tyres using the same professional adhesive and techniques employed in Traxxas factories, eliminating variability from hand-gluing and ensuring each wheel has been cured under controlled conditions. For RC drivers in the UK who demand quality components that will perform consistently lap after lap, these Traxxas wheels and tyres deliver the reliability and performance expected from genuine factory parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Sledgehammer and Gravix tyres for RC trucks? — The Sledgehammer tyres in this set feature a directional tread pattern optimised for all-surface performance with excellent traction and reduced noise, whilst Gravix tyres (available on some other Traxxas models) offer low-profile design for different applications. Both represent Traxxas's latest tyre technology developed for specific vehicle platforms.
• Are these tyres suitable for both track racing and outdoor bashing? — Yes, the Sledgehammer tyres are designed for versatile performance whether you're running on a smooth competition track or over rough outdoor terrain, delivering game-changing performance in either environment.
• Do I need to glue or mount these tyres myself? — No, these tyres come pre-mounted and pre-glued to the charcoal grey wheels, saving you time and ensuring factory-perfect installation right out of the box with no additional preparation required.
• What is the foam insert and why does it matter? — The foam insert is a cushioning layer inside the tyre that absorbs impacts from rough terrain and prevents the tyre from collapsing under cornering loads, maintaining consistent handling and tyre shape through aggressive driving.
• Will these front wheels fit the rear of my Mini Maxx? — No, these are specifically engineered as front wheels with geometry optimised for front axle performance on the Mini Maxx platform. For rear wheels, you will need the corresponding rear wheel set (part number TRX10770).
• What models are these compatible with? — These front wheels and tyres are designed as replacement parts for the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S platform, compatible with all colour variants including green, blue, black and orange models.
• How long do these Sledgehammer tyres typically last? — Tyre life depends on your driving style, terrain, and maintenance practices. Regular inspection of tyre condition and foam insert integrity will help you determine when replacement is needed, typically after hundreds of miles of use.
• Can I use these wheels on other Traxxas models? — These are engineered specifically for the Mini Maxx platform. For other Traxxas models, you should use wheels designed for that specific vehicle to ensure proper fitment, stance and handling balance.
