These pre-assembled, ready-to-bolt-on wheel and tyre combinations deliver outstanding all-terrain performance without the hassle of manual assembly or gluing. Whether you're bashing in the garden, competing at your local track, or exploring both tarmac and off-road terrain, these Traxxas wheels and tyres offer the versatility and durability that have made Traxxas a trusted name in RC hobby worldwide.
Designed specifically for 2WD electric RC cars in the rear position, these assembled wheels and tyres come as a matched pair, providing consistent handling and traction across both wheels.

The TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) rating confirms these tyres are engineered for high-speed applications, making them suitable for drivers who demand performance and durability in equal measure. Unlike generic aftermarket alternatives, these are genuine Traxxas components manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring compatibility and longevity across multiple seasons of use.
Key Features
- Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued Design — Both the wheels and tyres arrive mounted and glued together, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly work, application of tyre glue, or waiting for adhesive to cure before use, allowing you to get straight to the action.
- High-Performance Talon EXT Tyres — These all-terrain tyres feature an aggressive tread pattern that digs into dirt and grass to generate outstanding 4X4-level traction on unprepared terrain, making them ideal for bashing and off-road adventure driving.
- Durable Tyre Compound with Pavement Durability — The Talon EXT tyre compound is engineered to provide extra durability when driving on hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt, resisting the common problem of tyre "ballooning" at high speeds that can compromise handling and cause premature wear.
- Unique Anti-Ballooning Design — The carefully engineered tyre structure resists the tendency of tyres to expand and lose their profile when operating at elevated speeds, maintaining consistent handling characteristics and extending tyre life during fast driving sessions.
- RXT Orange Wheels — The distinctive orange RXT wheels combine aesthetic appeal with functional strength, providing a tough, reliable mounting surface for the Talon EXT tyres that can handle the demands of aggressive driving.
- Foam Inserts Included — Each wheel assembly includes foam inserts that work in conjunction with the tyre sidewalls to improve grip, reduce rolling resistance, and provide a more responsive feel during both on-road and off-road driving.
- TSM Rating for High-Speed Performance — These wheels and tyres have been tested and rated as compatible with Traxxas Stability Management systems, confirming they are engineered for sustained high-speed operation without compromising safety or durability.
- 12mm Hex Fitment — The standard 12mm hex connection ensures compatibility with the vast majority of 1/10 scale Traxxas RC cars, making these wheels and tyres a versatile upgrade option across multiple models in your collection.
- 2WD Electric Rear Specific Design — These wheels and tyres are specifically optimised for rear-wheel mounting on 2WD electric RC cars, where they deliver maximum benefit in terms of traction, acceleration control, and cornering grip.
- Pair of Two Wheels — Each purchase includes two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, providing you with a matching set for your rear axle or allowing you to maintain a spare set for continued racing and bashing without downtime.
Technical Performance
These Traxxas Wheels & Tyres assemblies represent the culmination of decades of RC racing and bashing experience, engineered to deliver consistent performance across varied driving conditions. The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is the industry standard for 1/10 scale electric RC cars, providing the optimal balance between ground clearance, acceleration, and top speed. The RXT wheel design combines strength with lightweight construction, reducing unsprung weight while maintaining the rigidity needed to support aggressive driving manoeuvres. The Talon EXT tyres feature a sophisticated rubber compound formulation that adapts to temperature changes, maintaining grip whether you're driving in cool morning conditions or warm afternoon sessions. The foam inserts work synergistically with the tyre construction to absorb impact energy from terrain irregularities, improving overall handling precision and driver feedback. The pre-glued assembly ensures consistent tyre tension across both wheels, eliminating variables that can arise from manual installation and resulting in predictable, repeatable handling characteristics. These components are rated for 2WD electric propulsion systems and have been validated for use with Traxxas Stability Management technology, confirming their reliability at sustained high speeds. The engineering emphasis on resisting tyre ballooning is particularly important for RC car owners in the UK who may operate their vehicles across varied British terrain, from smooth tarmac racing circuits to unprepared grass and dirt tracks where tyre integrity under load is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for both beginner and experienced RC drivers? — Yes, these pre-assembled wheels and tyres are ideal for drivers of all skill levels. Beginners benefit from the no-hassle, ready-to-bolt installation, whilst experienced RC car owners appreciate the performance characteristics and durability that allow them to focus on driving rather than equipment preparation.
- What is the difference between Talon EXT tyres and other Traxxas tyre options? — Talon EXT tyres are specifically engineered as all-terrain options with aggressive tread patterns that excel on dirt and grass surfaces, whilst offering superior pavement durability compared to purely off-road focused alternatives. The unique anti-ballooning design sets them apart from budget tyre options and makes them suitable for sustained high-speed driving without compromising handling or tyre integrity.
- Will these tyres work on my existing 1/10 scale RC car? — These wheels and tyres feature a standard 12mm hex fitment and are designed for 2WD electric RC cars. They are compatible with most Traxxas 2WD electric models including the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 and similar vehicles with 12mm hex hubs, though you should verify your specific car model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- How long do these pre-glued tyres last? — The lifespan depends on driving style, terrain, and frequency of use. The durable tyre compound is engineered for extended use on both hard and soft surfaces, but aggressive bashing will naturally reduce tyre life faster than casual driving. The pre-glued assembly maintains its integrity for hundreds of kilometres of normal use.
- Can I replace just one wheel and tyre assembly, or must I buy a pair? — This product includes a pair of two wheels and tyres, which is the practical requirement for maintaining balanced handling on your rear axle. Replacing individual wheels is not recommended as it would create a mismatch in tyre wear characteristics and grip levels.
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for racing or just casual bashing? — The TSM rating and high-speed design make these wheels and tyres suitable for both competitive racing and enthusiastic bashing. The engineered durability on pavement makes them particularly well-suited to mixed-terrain club racing events common throughout the UK RC community.
- What makes the orange RXT wheels special compared to standard plastic wheels? — The RXT wheels combine durability, lightweight construction, and aesthetic appeal. The material composition and engineering provide strength sufficient for aggressive driving whilst keeping unsprung weight low for improved acceleration and handling response compared to heavier wheel alternatives.
