Key Features

• 2.2-inch Black Chrome Wheels — The polished black chrome finish delivers a striking appearance whilst the durable aluminium construction resists corrosion and impact damage, ensuring your RC buggy maintains its premium look through countless driving sessions.
• Alias Ribbed 2.2-inch Tyres — The distinctive rib pattern provides enhanced grip and predictable handling characteristics across various surfaces, whilst the ribbed design channels water and debris away for improved traction in wet conditions.
• Medium Compound Rubber — The medium compound offers the perfect balance between longevity and grip, providing sufficient traction for competitive racing whilst delivering extended tyre life compared to softer compounds, making these tyres excellent value for serious RC enthusiasts.
• Foam Inserts Included — The pre-installed foam inserts maintain tyre shape during hard cornering, absorb impacts from jumps and rough terrain, and reduce sidewall flex for more consistent and predictable handling throughout your RC buggy's performance envelope.
• Bandit Front Position Specific — These wheels and tyres are precisely engineered and tested for the Traxxas Bandit's front axle geometry, ensuring optimal weight distribution, steering response, and overall vehicle dynamics without requiring any modification or adjustment.
• Ready-to-Install Assembly — Both wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres mounted and foam inserts installed, eliminating the need for tyre mounting equipment or technical expertise, allowing you to swap them onto your RC buggy immediately.
• 1/10 Scale Buggy Standard — The 2.2-inch sizing is the recognised standard for 1/10 scale RC buggies, ensuring perfect fitment and performance characteristics that Traxxas engineers have validated through extensive track testing and real-world RC racing conditions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX2471T wheel and tyre package represents precision engineering optimised for 1/10 scale RC buggy performance. The black chrome wheels measure 2.2 inches in diameter, providing the ideal contact patch and rotational dynamics for Bandit front axles. The aluminium wheel construction offers a lightweight yet rigid platform that resists warping under the lateral forces experienced during aggressive cornering and high-speed RC driving. The Alias ribbed tyre pattern is specifically designed to distribute braking and acceleration forces evenly across the contact surface, reducing tyre roll and improving directional stability through technical sections of track or rough terrain.

The medium compound rubber strikes an optimal balance for serious RC drivers: softer than hard compounds (which offer durability but reduced grip), yet harder than soft compounds (which provide maximum traction but wear quickly). This medium specification proves ideal for drivers who want consistent performance across multiple heat races or extended bashing sessions without tyre degradation affecting their results. The foam inserts play a critical role in the tyre's performance characteristics. These cylindrical foam structures absorb energy from impacts, prevent sidewall collapse during rapid direction changes, and maintain consistent ride height throughout a driving session. The combination of medium compound rubber and quality foam inserts delivers the predictable handling that competitive RC racers demand, whilst the durable construction ensures these wheels and tyres will survive countless crashes, jumps, and aggressive RC driving without requiring replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres suitable for my Traxxas Bandit RC buggy? — Yes, the TRX2471T set is specifically engineered for the Traxxas Bandit's front axle. These are genuine Traxxas replacement components manufactured to the exact specifications required for optimal fitment, geometry, and performance on the Bandit platform.
• What is the difference between medium compound and soft compound RC tyres? — Medium compound tyres, like those supplied with this set, offer greater durability and extend tyre lifespan significantly compared to soft compounds. Whilst soft compounds provide maximum grip, they wear more rapidly, especially during extended RC racing sessions. Medium compounds provide an excellent balance, delivering adequate grip for competitive driving whilst lasting through multiple races or weekend bashing adventures without requiring replacement.
• Do the foam inserts come pre-installed? — Yes, both tyres arrive with foam inserts already installed. This ready-to-run design means you can fit these wheels and tyres directly to your Bandit front axle without requiring tyre mounting equipment or spending time preparing the wheels before your next RC driving session.
• What surfaces are these tyres suitable for? — The Alias ribbed pattern works effectively on various surfaces including smooth tarmac, concrete, carpeted track surfaces, and textured outdoor terrain. The ribbed design provides consistent grip across these different conditions whilst channelling away water and small debris. For extreme off-road RC driving on wet grass or mud, this medium compound offers good all-around capability, though dedicated clay or sand tyres would provide superior grip in those specialist conditions.
• Can I use these front wheels on the Bandit rear axle? — These wheels are specifically designed for Bandit front axle application. The steering and suspension geometry of the Bandit differs between front and rear, and using front tyres and wheels on the rear would compromise handling characteristics and vehicle dynamics. Traxxas produces separate rear wheel and tyre assemblies engineered specifically for rear axle performance.
• How long will these tyres last during RC racing? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on driving style, surface conditions, and track layout. Medium compound tyres typically provide excellent longevity compared to softer formulations. Aggressive racing with frequent braking, hard acceleration, and tight cornering will naturally consume tyre rubber faster than moderate driving. Most RC racers find medium compound tyres suitable for multiple race weekends before requiring replacement.
• Are these wheels compatible with other 1/10 scale RC buggies? — Whilst the 2.2-inch sizing is standard for many 1/10 scale buggies, these wheels are specifically engineered for the Bandit's front axle geometry. Other RC buggy models may have different offset requirements, bearing sizes, or suspension geometry. We recommend confirming compatibility with your specific RC model before purchasing, or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop for guidance on fitment for your particular RC buggy.
