These wheels are particularly popular with owners of the Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 and other compatible 4WD models. The distinctive black colour with chrome beadlock detailing provides a striking visual upgrade that makes your RC truck stand out on the track or at the bash spot. Upgrade your RC car with confidence knowing you're investing in Traxxas-quality wheels designed and tested for reliable performance.

Key Features

• Charcoal grey 6-spoke design — The classic six-spoke wheel pattern offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which is critical for maintaining speed and reducing unsprung mass on your 1/10 scale RC truck. A lighter wheel allows your suspension to respond more quickly to terrain changes, improving overall handling and traction.
• Black chrome beadlock detail — The beadlock feature is not just cosmetic; it helps secure the tyre bead to the wheel rim, preventing tyre roll-off during high-speed cornering or aggressive bashing. The premium black chrome finish adds a professional, competition-ready appearance that looks stunning on any RC car.
• 12mm hex fitting — These wheels use the standard 12mm hex connection point, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale Traxxas 4WD models. This universal fitment means you can easily swap wheels between vehicles or upgrade multiple trucks with confidence.
• Front and rear compatibility — Unlike some wheels that are specific to front or rear use, these RXT wheels can be mounted on either end of your 4WD RC truck, giving you flexibility in your setup and allowing you to rotate tyres for even wear.
• 2.8-inch diameter — The 2.8" size is the standard for 1/10 scale RC buggies and trucks, providing optimal ground clearance and speed characteristics. This diameter has been proven across countless racing events and bash sessions to deliver the right balance between acceleration and top speed.
• Durable plastic construction — Traxxas wheels are manufactured from tough, impact-resistant plastic that can handle the stresses of high-speed driving and rough terrain without cracking or breaking. The plastic composite is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for RC applications.
• Sold as a pair — You receive two wheels with this purchase, which is convenient if you need to replace a matching set or if you're building a complete new RC setup. Many drivers prefer to keep spare wheel sets for quick changes during racing or bashing sessions.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas RXT 2.8" wheels represent precision engineering at the 1/10 scale. Built from durable plastic composite materials, these wheels are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of RC driving without compromising on weight. The 2.8-inch diameter is optimised for 1/10 scale vehicles, providing the ideal rolling circumference for competitive racing and recreational bashing alike. The six-spoke construction distributes impact forces evenly across the wheel structure, reducing the risk of damage when driving over rough terrain or landing jumps. The black chrome beadlock detailing serves a functional purpose beyond aesthetics—it secures the tyre bead firmly to the wheel rim, preventing unwanted tyre movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The standard 12mm hex fitting ensures seamless compatibility with all Traxxas 4WD models, from the legendary Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 to other popular platforms. Whether you're running on clay, dirt, grass, or artificial track surfaces, these wheels maintain consistent contact with the ground and deliver predictable handling. The lightweight plastic construction helps minimise rotating mass, allowing your RC truck's motor and drivetrain to respond more quickly and improving overall acceleration and agility. For UK RC enthusiasts looking to upgrade their fleet with reliable, proven wheels, the RXT 2.8" set represents excellent value and performance credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size RC trucks and buggies do these wheels fit? — The RXT 2.8" wheels are specifically designed for 1/10 scale RC vehicles with 12mm hex fittings. They are compatible with Traxxas 4WD models including the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 and other comparable trucks. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm 12mm hex compatibility before purchasing.
• Can I use these wheels on both the front and rear of my RC truck? — Yes, one of the advantages of the RXT wheels is their versatility. They are designed to work on both front and rear positions on your 4WD RC vehicle, giving you flexibility in your setup and the option to rotate tyres for even wear patterns.
• What is the black chrome beadlock and why is it important? — The beadlock is a mechanical feature that clamps the tyre bead (the inner edge of the tyre) firmly against the wheel rim. During aggressive cornering, acceleration, and braking, tyres can shift or roll on the wheel, which affects handling and can damage the tyre. The beadlock prevents this movement, ensuring consistent performance and extended tyre life.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The RXT 2.8" wheels are suitable for drivers at all levels, from complete beginners to experienced competitors. They require no special installation knowledge beyond standard hex wheel removal and installation, making them an accessible upgrade for any RC enthusiast.
• What material are the RXT wheels made from? — The RXT wheels are manufactured from durable plastic composite, which offers an excellent balance of strength and lightweight construction. This plastic is specifically formulated to resist impact and stress while keeping the wheels as light as possible to optimise vehicle performance.
• Do these wheels come with tyres? — No, these are wheels only. You will need to fit compatible 2.8" tyres to complete your wheel setup. Many RC shops, including RC Model Shop, stock a variety of 2.8" tyres suitable for different terrain types and driving styles.
• How do I know if my RC vehicle has 12mm hex fittings? — Most 1/10 scale Traxxas 4WD models use 12mm hex fittings as standard. Check your vehicle's manual or specifications list to confirm. If you're unsure, our team at RC Model Shop can help identify the correct wheel size for your specific model.
• Can I use these wheels on a 2WD vehicle? — The RXT wheels are listed as compatible with 4WD vehicles. If you own a 2WD Traxxas model, check your vehicle's specifications for wheel compatibility, as some 2WD models may use different hex sizes or wheel designs.
