Key Features
- Pre-assembled and Glued Construction — The tyres arrive already mounted and permanently bonded to the wheels, eliminating the time-consuming process of separate tyre mounting and adhesive application that many RC enthusiasts find challenging or inconsistent.
- SCT Split-Spoke Beadlock Wheels — The distinctive split-spoke design with beadlock rings provides authentic short course truck styling whilst the mechanical beadlock system securely holds the tyre bead in place, preventing sidewall separation under aggressive driving conditions and high cornering loads.
- Satin Black Finish — The elegant satin black coating delivers a professional appearance that complements any RC short course truck colour scheme, offering a more refined aesthetic than glossy alternatives whilst resisting fingerprints and minor scuffs.
- BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 Tyres — Licensed from the renowned real-world tyre manufacturer, these treads feature authentic knobby patterns specifically designed for off-road traction, delivering genuine grip improvements on loose surfaces whilst maintaining predictable handling characteristics on harder terrain.
- Integrated Foam Inserts — The included foam inserts function as tyre dampening materials that absorb impact forces from bumps and obstacles, improving overall suspension responsiveness and extending tyre lifespan by distributing shock loads more effectively than running tyres alone.
- 12mm Hex Hub Connection — The standard 12mm hex mounting interface ensures compatibility with virtually all Traxxas 1/10 scale vehicles and most aftermarket wheels designed for this class, providing flexibility for future upgrades and component swapping.
- Dual Profile Design — The wheel features a 2.2-inch outer diameter profile combined with a 3.0-inch inner profile, enabling optimal weight distribution and providing the specific geometry required for the Slash platform's handling characteristics.
- 2WD Front Fitment Option — Engineered specifically for use on the front axle of the 2-wheel drive Traxxas Slash, though fully compatible with the 4x4 variant, providing versatility across the Slash product range.
Technical Performance
These pre-assembled wheels and tyres represent the engineering excellence that distinguishes Traxxas products in the competitive RC car UK market. The SCT beadlock wheel design combines aluminium construction with the mechanical security of beadlock rings, creating a robust package that withstands the cornering forces and impacts inherent to short course truck driving. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tyre compound features a tread pattern licensed from BFGoodrich's legendary real-world off-road tyre, with knobby lugs strategically positioned to maximise ground contact on loose terrain whilst providing adequate channels for water drainage during wet conditions. The foam inserts are engineered to complement the tyre's natural compliance characteristics, creating a system that absorbs high-frequency vibrations whilst maintaining overall suspension control. The satin finish on the wheels not only provides authentic appearance but also demonstrates attention to detail that reflects the quality you can expect from every component. The 2.2-inch outer diameter combined with the 3.0-inch inner profile creates a footprint optimised specifically for the Slash platform's geometry, ensuring proper clearance within wheel arches whilst delivering the contact patch necessary for confident cornering and acceleration traction. Whether used on the front axle of a 2WD model or as part of a complete 4x4 package, these wheels and tyres deliver consistent, predictable performance that reward skilled driving with improved lap times and more controlled bashing characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for both wet and dry track conditions? — The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tread pattern features knobby lugs designed primarily for off-road and loose terrain performance, with drainage channels that help manage water during wet conditions. They excel on carpet, grass, dirt and gravel, though they are optimised for off-road use rather than pure tarmac racing where slick-compound tyres would be preferable.
- Will these fit my 2WD Traxxas Slash? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are specifically engineered for front fitment on the 2WD Traxxas Slash. They are also fully compatible with the 4x4 Slash platform and other Traxxas short course truck models that use the same 12mm hex hub interface.
- What is the benefit of pre-glued tyres versus mounting them myself? — Pre-glued wheels and tyres eliminate assembly time and potential errors in adhesive application that can cause premature tyre separation or uneven bonding. The factory process ensures consistent bead pressure and perfect concentricity, which directly impacts handling precision and tyre longevity. You simply remove them from the box and install them onto your RC vehicle.
- How do beadlock wheels differ from standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels feature mechanical rings that clamp the tyre bead against the wheel lip, physically securing the tyre in place. This prevents sidewall deformation and tyre rollover during aggressive cornering, delivering improved handling consistency and eliminating the need for extremely high adhesive tension that can damage tyres over time.
- What vehicles can use these wheels and tyres? — These wheels fit any 1/10 scale Traxxas vehicle with a 12mm hex hub interface, including all Traxxas Slash variants (2WD and 4x4), the Stampede, and compatible with various aftermarket RC short course trucks. Verify 12mm hex compatibility before purchasing for vehicles from other manufacturers.
- Do the foam inserts come installed? — Yes, the foam inserts are included with the pre-assembled wheels and tyres, already integrated into the package ready for immediate use without any additional assembly or installation required.
- What is the wheel diameter and will they fit my vehicle? — The wheels feature a 2.2-inch outer diameter with a 3.0-inch inner profile, engineered specifically for the Traxxas Slash platform. These dimensions provide proper ground clearance and contact patch optimisation for this vehicle class; verify compatibility with your specific RC model before purchase.
