Overview
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres assembled set (TRX3663) represents premium-quality wheel and tyre combinations specifically engineered for electric RC vehicles. These pre-assembled, factory-glued wheel and tyre packages eliminate the need for time-consuming setup, making them an ideal solution for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliable performance straight out of the box. Whether you're upgrading an existing RC model or completing a new build, this Traxxas assembly delivers the professional-grade components that have made Traxxas the recognised leader in RC vehicle engineering and design.
This particular set features satin chrome wheels paired with Terra Groove dual-profile tyres and integrated foam inserts, all factory-assembled and glued for immediate use. The satin chrome finish provides an aesthetic upgrade whilst the Terra Groove tyre design offers exceptional grip across varied terrain. The foam inserts are critical components that stabilise the tyre during high-speed cornering and rough terrain navigation, ensuring consistent handling characteristics whether you're bashing on loose ground or navigating technical trail sections.
As an authorised Traxxas dealer and established RC specialist serving the UK market, RC Model Shop stocks these assemblies to support both experienced RC bashers upgrading their setups and newcomers building their first complete ready-to-run RC car UK configurations. The pre-glued design means zero preparation time—simply bolt them onto your RC vehicle's hubs and you're ready for immediate action on any terrain.
Key Features
- Satin Chrome Wheel Design — The distinctive satin chrome finish provides a refined aesthetic appearance whilst maintaining the durability required for serious RC use, offering a premium look that stands out during competition or casual bashing sessions without sacrificing any functional performance.
- Terra Groove Dual-Profile Tyres — These tyres feature Traxxas' advanced dual-profile tread design with wider spacing between tread blocks, specifically engineered to grab edges and terrain features more effectively, delivering superior traction whether you're climbing obstacles, navigating rock gardens, or maintaining grip on loose surfaces.
- Factory-Assembled Configuration — Both wheels and tyres arrive pre-assembled and factory-glued together, eliminating hours of preparation work and ensuring perfect concentricity and balance straight from the packaging, allowing you to install them immediately without requiring specialised gluing equipment or techniques.
- Integrated Foam Inserts — The included foam inserts serve as critical shock-absorbing elements positioned inside the tyres, stabilising the tyre sidewalls during aggressive cornering and high-speed manoeuvres whilst improving ride compliance over rough terrain and extending overall tyre lifespan through reduced deformation.
- Electric Rear Configuration — These wheels and tyres are specifically designed for electric rear-axle applications, ensuring proper fitment and optimal performance characteristics for brushless and brushed electric RC vehicles running standard and high-powered battery systems.
- Pair Quantity — This package includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing rear-axle coverage for most standard RC vehicles and allowing for immediate deployment or use as spares for extended running sessions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX3663 wheel and tyre assembly represents the culmination of decades of RC engineering expertise focused on maximising traction, handling consistency, and durability across diverse terrain conditions. The Terra Groove tyre compound and tread design work in concert with the foam insert technology to provide predictable, progressive grip characteristics that respond intuitively to driver inputs, whether you're executing tight cornering manoeuvres at competition-level speeds or carefully picking your line through technical rock gardens and trail obstacles. The satin chrome wheels are precision-engineered to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfectly balanced rotation that minimises vibration and reduces wear on drivetrain components including bearings, driveshafts, and differential assemblies. The foam inserts are engineered to the exact specifications required for electric RC vehicles, providing the appropriate compliance and support for the rotational velocities and lateral loads experienced during typical electric RC operation. These assemblies have been validated across Traxxas' extensive product line, from trail-focused models like the TRX-6 to high-performance basher platforms, confirming their versatility and reliability across varying power levels, vehicle weights, and terrain conditions. The factory-glued construction utilises the same adhesive specifications employed in Traxxas' original equipment assemblies, ensuring wheel-to-tyre bond integrity throughout thousands of kilometres of operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for my brushless electric RC truck? — Yes, these assemblies are specifically engineered for electric rear-axle applications and are fully compatible with all brushless electric RC vehicles. The foam inserts and tyre compound have been validated across Traxxas' complete electric RC portfolio, including trail trucks, basher vehicles, and high-performance models.
- Do I need to glue these wheels and tyres myself? — No, these arrive factory-assembled and pre-glued, eliminating the need for any preparation work on your part. Simply transfer them to your RC vehicle's hub and you're ready to run immediately, saving significant setup time compared to purchasing wheels and tyres separately.
- What is the Terra Groove tyre design optimised for? — The Terra Groove tyre features wider spacing between tread blocks specifically designed to grab edges and terrain features more effectively. This design excels in rocky, technical terrain and loose surfaces, providing superior grip and traction compared to tyres with tighter tread patterns, making them ideal for trail-focused RC vehicles and challenging outdoor bashers.
- What makes the foam inserts important for my RC vehicle? — Foam inserts serve multiple critical functions including stabilising the tyre sidewall during high-speed cornering and aggressive manoeuvres, improving ride compliance over rough terrain by absorbing impacts, and extending overall tyre lifespan by reducing excessive deformation and sidewall wear that occurs during intense operation.
- Will these fit my specific RC model? — These assemblies are designed for standard electric rear-axle fitments across Traxxas' vehicle range. Before purchase, verify your vehicle's hub type and ensure it accepts the standard wheel hex sizing; your RC Model Shop team can confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- How do I install these on my RC vehicle? — Installation is straightforward: simply unbolt your existing wheels and tyres, transfer the new pre-assembled units onto your RC vehicle's wheel hubs, and secure with the appropriate fasteners. No tools beyond a standard hex driver are required, and the entire installation process typically takes minutes per wheel.
