Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX3689 represent the pinnacle of wheel and tyre engineering for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. The paddle tyre compound has been developed through extensive testing to provide optimal grip levels across various surface conditions whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics that allow drivers to push their vehicles to the limit. The 70mm width provides a wide footprint that distributes weight effectively and increases contact area with the ground, resulting in improved traction and stability through high-speed corners. The black chrome wheel construction combines aesthetic appeal with genuine durability, resisting scuffs and damage that would compromise the appearance of lesser quality wheels. The pre-glued assembly ensures that there are no voids or inconsistencies between tyre and wheel that could compromise performance or cause catastrophic failure mid-race. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK seeking replacement tyres or upgrading their stock wheels, these Traxxas components deliver measurable performance improvements. The 1/10 scale proportion means these wheels will fit seamlessly into any compatible 1/10 scale RC vehicle setup, whether you're running a standard truggy, stadium truck, or short course truck platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels and tyres suitable for all 1/10 scale RC vehicles? — These Traxxas wheels and tyres feature a standard 12mm hex fitting, which is the universal connection point for most 1/10 scale RC vehicles. However, they are specifically designed for truggy and stadium truck applications, so they work best with these vehicle types. Before purchasing, verify that your RC vehicle has 12mm hex hubs and is compatible with 2.8-inch wheels.
• What is the advantage of pre-glued tyres compared to separate components? — Pre-glued and pre-assembled wheels eliminate the need for manual tyre mounting and gluing, which can be time-consuming, messy, and prone to errors. With these Traxxas wheels, you simply install them on your RC vehicle and you're ready to drive. This ensures consistent quality and saves significant preparation time.
• Will these paddle tyres work on different surfaces? — Yes, paddle tyres are versatile off-road performers. They provide exceptional grip on loose surfaces such as dirt, sand, gravel and clay, making them ideal for outdoor bashing and racing. They also perform adequately on harder surfaces, though they are optimised for loose terrain where their aggressive tread patterns really shine.
• What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — These 2.8-inch wheels with 12mm hex fittings are compatible with numerous 1/10 scale RC vehicles that feature 12mm hex hubs. They are specifically engineered for truggy and stadium truck platforms. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• How do the black chrome wheels compare to standard painted wheels? — Black chrome finishes offer superior durability compared to standard paint, resisting chips, scuffs and UV damage far better than painted alternatives. They maintain their appearance through heavy use and require minimal maintenance to keep looking professional.
• Can I use these as front wheels as well as rear wheels? — These wheels are designated as rear wheels for electric RC vehicles. For optimal performance and handling, install them as rear wheels on your vehicle. Check your vehicle's manual for recommended wheel and tyre configurations.
