Key Features

• Graphite Grey Satin Chrome Beadlock Wheels — The 2.2-inch beadlock wheels feature a striking graphite grey finish with satin chrome beadlock rings that not only look aggressive and professional but also provide superior tyre retention, preventing sidewall deflection under aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres on loose surfaces.
• Alias Ribbed 2.2-inch Tyres — Traxxas's Alias tyre line is proven across multiple racing applications and casual driving scenarios, with the ribbed tread pattern delivering excellent traction across varied surfaces whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics that let you push harder with confidence.
• Medium Compound with Foam Inserts — The medium compound rubber provides an ideal balance between durability and grip for front-end use on a 2WD buggy, whilst the integrated foam inserts ensure consistent tyre shape, reduce rolling resistance, and deliver responsive steering feedback during high-speed runs.
• Factory Assembled Design — These wheels and tyres arrive pre-mounted and ready to install, eliminating the need for glue, clamps, precision tools, or the risk of assembly errors that could affect your RC car UK's handling or appearance.
• 2WD Front Position Fitment — Specifically engineered and balanced for front-end use on 2WD buggies like the Bandit, ensuring weight distribution, steering response, and overall handling are optimised for this application rather than forcing a compromise solution.
• 1/10 Scale Compatibility — These 2.2-inch wheels are the standard size for 1/10 scale RC buggies, delivering the proportional look and performance envelope that makes the buggy category so popular with enthusiasts across the UK.

Technical Performance

The TRX2471G wheels and tyres represent genuine engineering excellence from Traxxas, a company with unmatched expertise in RC vehicle development spanning several decades. The 2.2-inch beadlock wheel design is not merely cosmetic—the beadlock ring provides mechanical retention of the tyre bead, preventing the tyre from rolling off the rim during aggressive cornering, acceleration, or when running low pressures for maximum ground contact on loose surfaces. The graphite grey colour with satin chrome accents delivers a premium appearance whilst the beadlock design ensures longevity and consistent performance session after session. The Alias ribbed tyres are constructed with a medium compound rubber formulation that balances grip, wear resistance, and predictable handling across the range of surfaces that RC buggy enthusiasts encounter in the UK—from indoor carpet to outdoor dirt, concrete, and tarmac. The integrated foam inserts serve multiple critical functions: they maintain tyre shape under load, reduce rolling resistance which improves battery runtime and top-speed potential, and provide a consistent platform for the tyre to deflect predictably under steering inputs. This combination of beadlock wheel retention, quality rubber compound, and foam-insert construction creates a wheel and tyre package that delivers reliability comparable to factory team vehicles whilst remaining accessible to recreational drivers who simply want dependable performance without constant maintenance and adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres compatible with my Traxxas Bandit 2WD buggy? — Yes, the TRX2471G is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Bandit 2WD buggy as a front-end fitment. The 2.2-inch size is the standard for 1/10 scale buggies, and Traxxas designs all components to work seamlessly with their vehicles. Simply confirm your buggy model before purchase.
• What is the difference between the medium compound and other tyre compounds? — Traxxas produces tyres in various compounds to suit different driving conditions and styles. Medium compound represents a balanced option offering reasonable grip across multiple surfaces whilst providing durability for extended driving sessions. Softer compounds grip more aggressively but wear faster; harder compounds last longer but provide less traction.
• Do these tyres come pre-glued to the wheels? — Yes, the TRX2471G is a factory-assembled package, meaning the tyres are permanently bonded to the wheels using Traxxas's manufacturing processes. They arrive ready to install on your buggy without any additional preparation required.
• Can I use these wheels on the rear of my buggy? — The TRX2471G is specifically balanced and engineered for front-end use on 2WD buggies. Whilst the physical fit may be possible depending on your exact buggy model, Traxxas designs front and rear tyres differently to match the performance requirements of each position. Using front tyres on the rear may compromise handling and tyre lifespan.
• How long do these tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends entirely on driving style, surface conditions, and frequency of use. The medium compound and foam-insert construction provide good durability for regular recreational driving. Aggressive racing or frequent high-speed runs on abrasive surfaces will accelerate wear. The beadlock design ensures the tyre stays mounted even as tread wears down.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are 100% genuine Traxxas factory-manufactured components. The model number TRX2471G is the official Traxxas designation, and these parts are sold by authorised retailers including RC Model Shop. Genuine Traxxas parts guarantee perfect fitment, optimal performance, and compatibility with your buggy.
• What is the advantage of beadlock wheels over standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels mechanically retain the tyre bead using the beadlock ring, preventing tyre roll-off during aggressive cornering or when running reduced air pressure. This design is particularly valuable for high-performance driving and is the standard specification for racing-oriented RC buggies across the UK.
