The Traxxas Gemini 3.8in wheels are engineered with precision manufacturing standards that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC car UK market. At 3.8 inches in diameter, these wheels provide the optimal sizing for 1/8 scale RC trucks and buggies, delivering the correct visual proportion whilst maintaining adequate ground clearance for aggressive driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Always verify your vehicle's wheel fitting specification before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
