Whether you're running a brushless 4WD electric RC truck like the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4, or a 2WD electric model, these wheels and tyres adapt to your setup. Available in both front and rear fitments for 4WD vehicles and front-only configurations for 2WD models, they represent a versatile upgrade option that suits multiple RC car platforms across the UK RC hobby market.

Key Features

• Gravix™ Hybrid Tyre Technology — The innovative Gravix tyre design features densely packed biting edges and sipes throughout the tread pattern, giving you outstanding grip on hard-packed dirt surfaces while maintaining fast, quiet, and precise handling on pavement. This revolutionary hybrid design means you don't have to compromise between different surface types; these tyres excel on both.
• Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued — Time is precious, and these wheels and tyres arrive completely assembled and glued, ready for immediate bolt-on installation. There's no need to spend hours mounting and gluing individual tyres to rims – simply attach them to your RC car using the 12mm hex fitting and start driving. This convenience factor is invaluable for busy hobbyists and competitive racers alike.
• Black Chrome RXT Wheels — The tough 2.8" RXT wheels feature an attractive black chrome finish that not only looks spectacular on modern RC vehicles but also delivers the strength and durability needed for high-speed applications. The charcoal grey and black chrome colour combination provides a premium aesthetic that enhances any RC car's appearance.
• TSM Rated for High-Speed Stability — These wheels and tyres are specifically rated for use with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) systems, meaning they're engineered to work perfectly with electronic stability control. This makes them ideal for drivers who want maximum control, especially at high speeds or on technical terrain.
• Foam Inserts Included — The foam inserts provide essential shock absorption and help maintain tyre shape during aggressive driving. These foam components are critical for preventing tyre rollover and maintaining consistent grip throughout a race or bash session.
• 12mm Hex Fitting — The standard 12mm hexagonal fitting ensures compatibility with a wide range of RC vehicles, including the Traxxas Rustler 4X4 Ultimate. This universal fitment means these wheels and tyres will work on multiple RC platforms in your collection.
• Multi-Position Compatibility — For 4WD electric RC vehicles, these wheels and tyres can be fitted to both the front and rear axles, providing consistent handling characteristics across all four wheels. For 2WD electric models, they're suitable for front fitment only, adapting to your specific RC car configuration.

Technical Performance

The engineering behind these Traxxas wheels and tyres reflects decades of experience in competitive RC racing and high-performance off-road driving. The Gravix tyre compound has been formulated to deliver consistent grip across multiple surface types – a critical requirement for RC enthusiasts who want to drive the same setup at different venues without compromising performance. The densely packed biting edges and sipes work together to create multiple contact points with the surface, increasing mechanical grip without requiring a soft or delicate compound that wears quickly. On hard-packed surfaces, the tyre's aggressive edge design provides the bite needed for rapid acceleration and precise cornering, whilst on pavement the tyre's rounded profile and sipe design ensure quiet, smooth, and predictable handling. The 2.8-inch wheel and tyre package sits at the sweet spot for 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles, providing excellent ground clearance whilst maintaining a low centre of gravity for responsive handling. The RXT wheels themselves are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring true running and minimal vibration even at high speeds. The black chrome finish isn't merely cosmetic – it provides a protective layer that resists corrosion and maintains the wheels' appearance through repeated use in outdoor conditions. The inclusion of foam inserts is particularly important for electric RC cars running on brushless motors capable of high speeds; these inserts prevent tyre rollover and delamination whilst maintaining the structural integrity of the tyre during hard cornering and acceleration. The TSM rating confirms that Traxxas has validated these wheels and tyres for use with their electronic stability management systems, ensuring that drivers using TSM-equipped vehicles will experience optimal control and predictable handling characteristics. For competitive racing applications or serious bashing, these pre-glued and assembled wheels eliminate variables that could affect performance, allowing you to focus on driving technique rather than troubleshooting equipment.

They're suitable for 4WD models on both front and rear axles, and for 2WD electric models on the front axle only. Always verify compatibility with your specific RC car before purchasing.
• Are these wheels and tyres suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The pre-assembled and pre-glued nature of these wheels and tyres makes them ideal for beginners who want to upgrade their vehicle without the complexity of mounting and gluing tyres themselves. Simply remove the old wheels and bolt these on. The Gravix tyre design is forgiving on various surfaces, making them excellent for learning drivers who may not yet have perfected their technique on hard-packed dirt.
• What's the advantage of pre-glued tyres? — Pre-glued tyres save significant time and eliminate the possibility of poor gluing affecting performance. There's no learning curve, no waiting for glue to cure, and no risk of tyres slipping on the rim during aggressive driving. For competitive racers, this consistency is invaluable – you know exactly how the tyres will perform without variables introduced by the gluing process.
• Can I use these on a 2WD RC car? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are suitable for 2WD electric models, though they're designed for front fitment only on 2WD vehicles. Check your specific model's compatibility before ordering, as some 2WD cars may require different rear wheel sizes.
• What surfaces perform best with Gravix tyres? — Gravix tyres are specifically engineered as a hybrid tyre design, excelling on both hard-packed dirt surfaces and pavement. The densely packed biting edges provide excellent grip on dirt whilst the tyre's design ensures quiet, smooth performance on asphalt. This makes them ideal for racing venues with mixed surface conditions or for drivers who want one tyre that handles multiple terrain types effectively.
• Are these wheels TSM compatible? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are TSM-rated, meaning they're specifically tested and approved for use with Traxxas Stability Management systems. If your RC vehicle is equipped with TSM, these wheels will provide optimal performance with the electronic stability control system.
• What is the scale and sizing of these wheels? — These are 2.8-inch diameter wheels designed for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. The 2.8-inch size is a standard fitment for modern electric off-road RC cars and provides an excellent balance between ground clearance and handling characteristics.
• Do I need any tools to install these wheels? — You'll need a small wrench or hex key to remove your existing wheels and install these new ones, as they attach via the standard 12mm hex fitting. The process takes just minutes – remove the old wheels, slide the new ones onto the hexes, and tighten the retaining nuts.
