Key Features

• 2.2-Inch Diameter — These wheels are sized at the industry-standard 2.2-inch diameter for 1/10 scale RC buggies, ensuring perfect fitment with common buggy tyres and compatibility with Traxxas Bandit models and other RC buggies that accept standard-size wheels.
• Graphite Grey Finish — The graphite grey wheel face provides a sophisticated, professional appearance that looks stunning on any RC buggy colour scheme, offering excellent visual contrast when paired with satin chrome accents.
• Satin Chrome Beadlock Rings — The distinctive satin chrome beadlock rings secure your tyres in place with precision engineering, preventing tyre slippage and roll-off during hard cornering, acceleration, and braking, which is essential for consistent handling and safety during racing.
• Beadlock Design — The beadlock mechanism mechanically locks the tyre bead to the wheel rim, providing superior tyre retention compared to standard wheels and allowing you to run lower tyre pressures for improved grip without risking tyre roll-off.
• Pack of Two Wheels — You receive two rear wheels in each package, allowing you to completely refresh the rear end of your Bandit or maintain spare wheels for quick changes during racing events or maintenance.
• Bandit Rear Fitment — These wheels are specifically engineered as rear wheels for the Traxxas Bandit, ensuring perfect fitment, correct weight distribution, and optimal performance characteristics for the rear suspension geometry.

• Plastic Construction — The wheels are manufactured from durable plastic material that provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing unsprung mass for improved suspension responsiveness and faster acceleration whilst remaining impact-resistant for durability in everyday use.
• Genuine Traxxas Quality — Every wheel is manufactured to Traxxas's exacting standards with precision engineering that ensures perfect concentricity, balanced weight distribution, and consistent performance across every unit produced.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheels TRX2480 represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale buggy wheel design, combining lightweight plastic construction with precision engineering that delivers measurable performance advantages. The 2.2-inch diameter is the industry standard for 1/10 scale RC buggies, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance, speed, and traction. The graphite grey wheel face is not merely cosmetic—the colour choice offers superior visibility during high-speed runs, making it easier to judge your RC car's position and orientation during racing or bashing sessions. The satin chrome beadlock rings are the technological highlight of these wheels, featuring a sophisticated mechanical design that locks the tyre bead securely to the wheel rim. This design allows advanced racers to reduce tyre pressure for increased grip without the risk of tyre roll-off, a critical advantage in competitive racing scenarios. The plastic construction, whilst lightweight, provides exceptional durability and impact resistance—essential characteristics for RC buggies that frequently encounter kerbs, jumps, and rough terrain. Traxxas's precision manufacturing ensures these wheels are perfectly balanced and concentric, eliminating vibration and delivering smooth, predictable handling characteristics that are essential for both competitive racing and recreational bashing. Whether you are upgrading your existing Bandit setup or building a complete RC buggy from scratch, these wheels provide the foundation for excellent performance and striking visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels suitable for the Traxxas Bandit RC buggy? — Yes, these wheels are specifically engineered as rear wheels for the Traxxas Bandit and will fit perfectly with the correct offset and geometry. They are compatible with standard 2.2-inch buggy tyres and work seamlessly with the Bandit's suspension and drive system.
• What tyres do these wheels accept? — These wheels accept all standard 2.2-inch buggy tyres, giving you access to Traxxas's complete tyre range including street, off-road, carpet, and clay track options. You can also use compatible aftermarket tyres from other manufacturers that are designed for 2.2-inch buggy wheels.
• What is a beadlock and why does it matter? — A beadlock is a mechanical system that locks the tyre bead to the wheel rim, preventing tyre slippage and roll-off during aggressive driving. This is particularly important in racing where lower tyre pressures improve grip—beadlock wheels allow you to run lower pressures safely without losing the tyre from the rim during high-speed cornering.
• Will these wheels fit my 1/10 scale RC buggy? — These wheels are designed for the Traxxas Bandit specifically, but they will also fit other 1/10 scale RC buggies that use standard 2.2-inch wheels, such as Traxxas Slash 2WD and other compatible platforms. Always verify your vehicle's wheel offset and bolt pattern before purchasing replacement wheels.
• Are these wheels ready to use out of the box? — The wheels arrive ready to accept tyres. You will need to mount 2.2-inch buggy tyres onto these wheels and balance them before use. Traxxas recommends balancing all wheels for smooth, vibration-free operation.
• What is the advantage of plastic wheels over metal? — Plastic wheels offer superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to heavy metal alternatives, reducing unsprung mass for improved suspension responsiveness, faster acceleration, and quicker handling responses. Plastic also provides excellent impact resistance and durability when driving over rough terrain.
• Can I use these as front wheels? — These wheels are specifically designed as rear wheels for the Bandit and are not recommended for front fitment. Using rear wheels in the front position can negatively affect handling, steering response, and overall vehicle dynamics.
• Where can I buy genuine Traxxas wheels in the UK? — RC Model Shop is an authorised Traxxas retailer stocking genuine, authentic Traxxas components including these wheels. Shopping with an authorised retailer ensures you receive genuine products backed by warranty support and expert technical advice.
