Overview

Upgrade your Traxxas Slash 2WD short course truck with this professionally assembled and factory-glued tyre and wheel set, designed specifically for the front axle. These are genuine Traxxas components featuring iconic BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 branded tyres mounted on stunning SCT Split-Spoke beadlock wheels in chrome red, finished with satin black centres for a striking two-tone appearance. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast looking to refresh your Slash with a new look, or a beginner just discovering the world of RC cars in the UK, this is the perfect upgrade to enhance both performance and aesthetics on your truck.

For anyone serious about their RC hobby, wheel and tyre selection is one of the most important decisions you'll make. These factory-assembled and glued wheels eliminate the guesswork and frustration of mounting your own tyres, saving you time and ensuring a professional result straight out of the box. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tread pattern is a multi-surface tyre designed for excellent traction across all terrains—whether you're bashing on grass, dirt tracks, concrete or mixed ground. This is the perfect replacement for your original Slash 2WD front wheels, restoring your truck to like-new performance or giving it a completely fresh aesthetic.

RC Model Shop stocks an extensive range of Traxxas wheels and tyres for the Slash platform, making us your one-stop shop for all your RC car upgrades in the UK. These front-specific wheels feature the correct offset designed to match the narrower front suspension geometry of the 2WD Slash, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the truck's intended handling characteristics. The dual-profile design with 2.2-inch outer and 3.0-inch inner diameter provides the optimal size and grip for street and off-road driving.

Key Features

• Factory-Assembled and Glued — These tyres come pre-mounted on the wheels and secured with professional-grade adhesive, eliminating the need for DIY assembly and ensuring a reliable bond that won't separate during aggressive driving or high-speed runs.
• BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 Tyres — Featuring the officially licensed tread pattern from the world-renowned BFGoodrich brand, these multi-terrain tyres deliver consistent grip and predictable handling whether you're racing on asphalt, carving through dirt, or exploring mixed surfaces typical of UK club tracks and backyard courses.
• SCT Split-Spoke Wheel Design — The distinctive split-spoke wheel pattern is one of two primary styles available for Slash trucks, offering a sharp, modern appearance that stands out against conventional five-spoke designs and suits both competitive and casual drivers.
• Chrome Red Beadlock Finish — The eye-catching chrome red colour with simulated beadlock rings provides authentic short-course truck styling while the satin black centres add contrast and sophistication to your Slash's appearance.
• Foam Tyre Inserts Included — Each tyre is fitted with precision-moulded foam inserts designed to maintain tyre shape under load, prevent sidewall crease and deformation, and provide consistent performance across varying track conditions and driving styles.
• Front-Specific Wheel Offset — These wheels feature the correct offset geometry engineered for the 2WD Slash's front suspension, which is slightly narrower than the rear—ensuring perfect track width, balanced handling, and preventing performance issues that arise from using rear wheels on the front.
• Dual Profile Design — The 2.2-inch outer and 3.0-inch inner diameter configuration provides the optimal balance between ground clearance and ground contact for mixed-surface running, delivering better weight distribution and predictable cornering characteristics.
• 12mm Hex Mounting System — These wheels use the industry-standard 12mm hex connection found on all Traxxas Slash 2WD models, ensuring hassle-free installation without requiring any adapters or modifications.
• Multi-Terrain Compound — The standard rubber compound is optimised by Traxxas for versatile performance across a wide range of surfaces while maintaining good tread life, making this set suitable for both beginners discovering RC driving and experienced bashers who value balanced all-round capability.

Technical Performance

These professionally engineered and assembled Traxxas wheels and tyres represent the culmination of decades of short-course truck design expertise. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tread pattern is licensed directly from the full-size automotive tyre manufacturer, bringing genuine off-road credibility to your 1/10 scale Slash. The tyre compound is specifically formulated for multi-surface traction, delivering reliable grip whether you're powering through loose dirt, accelerating across asphalt, or navigating the transition zones found on typical UK RC club circuits. The tyre inserts are precision-moulded foam components that maintain consistent shape under the dynamic loads encountered during cornering, acceleration and braking, preventing the sidewall deformation that can occur with lower-quality alternatives and ensuring predictable handling throughout extended running sessions. The SCT Split-Spoke wheels feature simulated beadlock rings which add authentic styling while the chrome red finish with satin black centres creates a visually striking combination that photographs brilliantly and sets your Slash apart from stock-wheel competitors. The front-specific offset has been engineered to match the 2WD Slash's front suspension geometry, which is narrower than the rear—using rear wheels on the front would result in excessive negative offset and create an unstable, awkward stance with poor handling. The dual-profile 2.2-inch outer and 3.0-inch inner diameter provides the ideal compromise between ground clearance needed for obstacles and rock crawling versus the contact patch required for responsive cornering and acceleration. These are supplied as a pair (two wheels total), perfectly suited for refreshing the front axle of your 2WD Slash 1/10 scale short course truck.

What's in the Box

• Two factory-assembled and glued SCT Split-Spoke beadlock wheels in chrome red with satin black centres
• BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tyres mounted and glued to each wheel
• Foam tyre inserts fitted inside each tyre for shape retention and performance consistency

Compatibility

These TRX5877A front wheels are specifically designed for the Traxxas Slash 1/10 2WD short course truck platform. They are compatible with all current generation Slash 2WD RTR models including the Slash 1/10 2WD RTR VXL-3S Brushless variants in all colours (Red, Fox, Green and others), and the Slash Extreme HD VXL 1/10 2WD RTR Brushless Electric Short Course Truck. These are front-specific wheels and should only be installed on the front axle—they feature a different offset than rear wheels and mounting them in the wrong position will negatively affect handling and appearance. If you need a matching set for the rear axle or are building a Slash 4X4, you will need separate rear-offset wheels which are designed for different suspension geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for all types of RC driving on UK club tracks? — Yes, the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tread pattern is engineered as a multi-terrain tyre, meaning it delivers solid performance across grass, dirt, loose gravel, tarmac, concrete and mixed surfaces. This makes it an excellent choice for bashers who run on varied terrain and club members who compete on different track layouts. If you're dedicated to snow or sand running exclusively, Traxxas offers specialised paddle tyres, but for general-purpose on- and off-road fun, these Mud-Terrain tyres are the ideal choice.
• Do I need to glue these tyres myself or are they pre-glued? — These tyres come factory-assembled and factory-glued, meaning they are ready to bolt straight onto your Slash's front axle with no tyre mounting or gluing required. This saves considerable time compared to purchasing separate wheels and tyres and assembling them yourself, and the factory gluing process ensures a secure, reliable bond.
• Will these fit the rear of my Slash 2WD or my Slash 4X4? — No, these are front-specific wheels engineered for the narrower front suspension of the Slash 2WD. The 2WD Slash's front suspension is several millimetres narrower than the rear, so front wheels feature more offset to equalise track width across the truck. Mounting these on the rear of a 2WD Slash would create an incorrect and unstable stance. If you have a Slash 4X4, you need rear-offset wheels which are compatible with both front and rear axles on the 4X4 platform.
• What is the difference between Split-Spoke wheels and SCT wheels? — Traxxas offers two primary wheel designs for Slash trucks: the five-spoke SCT design and the Split-Spoke design featured on this product. Both styles are available with simulated beadlock rings. The Split-Spoke design offers a more contemporary, intricate appearance with a distinctive split pattern, while the traditional SCT features five solid spokes. Both designs are structurally equivalent in performance—the choice is purely aesthetic based on your preferred styling.
• Can I use these tyres with a brushless motor and TSM Stability Management? — Yes, these tyres are compatible with any Slash 2WD including brushless models with TSM (Traxxas Stability Management). These particular wheels are assembled with standard-grade Traxxas tyre glue. If you plan to drive at maximum throttle with TSM-equipped brushless power for extended periods, Traxxas offers TSM-rated variants assembled with Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue, originally developed for 100+ mph racing applications. The standard glue used on these wheels is highly durable for normal driving, but the TSM-rated option provides additional security margin for extreme driving. You can still use these standard-glued tyres on TSM-equipped trucks; the TSM-rated option is simply a premium choice for drivers pushing maximum performance.
• How long will these tyres last before needing replacement? — The Traxxas rubber compound is optimised for multi-surface traction and long tread life. Actual tyre life depends heavily on driving style, terrain, and whether you're racing or casual bashing. Street and light off-road driving will extend tyre life considerably compared to aggressive racing on abrasive surfaces. Softer S1 compound tyres offer maximum grip but wear faster; the standard compound on these wheels provides the best balance of performance and longevity for general-purpose RC driving.
• What wheel offset do I need for my Slash? — If you have a Slash 2WD, these front wheels (TRX5877A) are the correct choice for the front axle. The Slash 2WD uses different offsets front and rear due to differing suspension widths. Rear-offset wheels are available separately if you need to replace rear wheels. If you have a Slash 4X4, use rear-offset wheels on all four corners, as the 4X4 suspension is the same width front to back.
