Overview
The Traxxas Anaconda Tyres Pre-Glued on RXT Wheels 2.8in (Black) represents a premium tyre and wheel solution for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to upgrade their 1/10 scale electric RC cars. These assembled and pre-glued wheels and tyres are engineered to deliver exceptional performance straight out of the box, eliminating the hassle of mounting and gluing tyres yourself. Whether you're running a Rustler 4x4 or 2WD model, or exploring other compatible RC vehicles, this tyre and wheel package offers an immediate performance boost with minimal setup required. For serious RC racers, weekend bashers, and anyone seeking ready to run RC components that perform at the highest level, the Anaconda tyre range has become synonymous with reliability and grip on tarmac surfaces across the UK RC community.
What sets this particular wheel and tyre package apart is the marriage of two proven Traxxas technologies: the tough RXT black wheels combined with the legendary Anaconda performance street tyres. The Anaconda tyres feature a specially formulated rubber compound that has been developed through years of real-world racing and bashing to provide exceptional wear characteristics and sticky traction that enthusiasts depend on. The 2.8-inch diameter makes this an ideal choice for 1/10 scale RC trucks and buggies, providing the perfect balance between ground clearance, rolling speed, and manoeuvrability. If you're serious about getting the best from your electric RC car, UK RC shops and dedicated enthusiasts consistently choose Anaconda tyres as their go-to performance upgrade.
Each package contains two pre-assembled and pre-glued wheels with tyres, ready for bolt-on installation using the standard 12mm hex fitting found on most 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles. The foam inserts are already installed, meaning you can transition from your current setup to these performance wheels in minutes, not hours. The RXT black wheels provide a sleek aesthetic while offering the durability needed for both on-road performance and general recreational bashing. With TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) compatibility confirmed, these wheels and tyres work seamlessly with the latest Traxxas electronics systems, ensuring you get the full benefit of advanced stability features whilst enjoying improved traction.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Anaconda tyre and wheel package represents the culmination of extensive research and development into on-road RC performance. The specially formulated Anaconda rubber compound has been engineered through rigorous testing to achieve an optimal balance between grip, wear life, and consistency across varying track conditions. The 2.8-inch wheel diameter is specifically chosen for 1/10 scale electric RC applications, providing the correct ratio of ground clearance to rolling circumference for efficient straight-line speed whilst maintaining manoeuvrability in tight corners. The directional tread pattern works in concert with the moulded foam inserts to manage tyre flex and deflection, delivering predictable handling that serious drivers can rely upon lap after lap. The RXT wheels themselves are constructed from tough, durable materials capable of withstanding the demands of both competitive racing environments and recreational bashing scenarios. The pre-glued assembly eliminates manufacturing variables associated with field gluing, ensuring consistency from one wheel set to the next and guaranteeing that the bond between tyre and wheel remains permanent throughout the life of the components. For 4WD electric RC vehicles, fitting both front and rear axles with this package ensures balanced handling characteristics and allows you to maximise the potential of your transmission and suspension setup. For 2WD electric RC platforms, front fitment delivers the improved traction and steering feel that lighter, front-biased vehicles require. The TSM rating confirms full compatibility with Traxxas's advanced stability management electronics, allowing modern stability features to work seamlessly with these performance tyres to deliver enhanced safety and driver confidence at high speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these Anaconda tyres suitable for on-road RC racing and bashing on tarmac surfaces? — Yes, absolutely. The Anaconda tyres are specifically formulated as performance street tyres with a specially developed rubber compound designed to provide exceptional grip and wear characteristics on tarmac. The directional tread design further optimises performance on paved surfaces, making these an excellent choice whether you're competing in organised RC racing or enjoying recreational high-speed driving in car parks and forecourts.
- Do I need to glue these tyres and wheels myself? — No, one of the major advantages of this product is that the tyres arrive pre-glued to the RXT wheels. The gluing process has already been completed by Traxxas, meaning you can bolt them straight onto your RC vehicle without any additional preparation, saving you considerable time and eliminating the possibility of gluing errors.
- What RC vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These 2.8-inch wheels and tyres are compatible with 1/10 scale electric RC vehicles, including the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 and Rustler 2WD models. They feature a 12mm hex fitting, which is the industry standard for most 1/10 scale electric RC cars and trucks. The product is rated for fitment on both front and rear axles of 4WD electric vehicles, or front-only fitment on 2WD electric vehicles. If you own a different 1/10 scale electric RC model, confirm that it uses 12mm hex wheel fittings before purchasing.
- Will these wheels and tyres work with TSM (Traxxas Stability Management)? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are specifically TSM rated, meaning they are fully compatible with Traxxas's advanced stability management electronics. This compatibility allows you to exploit electronic stability control features for enhanced handling characteristics and improved driver confidence, particularly during high-speed driving.
- How do the foam inserts affect handling and performance? — The moulded foam inserts work in conjunction with the directional tread design to manage tyre flex and provide balanced handling. These inserts absorb impacts and control tyre deflection, delivering a more predictable and responsive feel during cornering and acceleration. This results in better lap consistency for racers and improved stability for bashers driving at high speeds.
- Are these tyres suitable for beginners exploring RC for the first time? — These are performance-oriented street tyres best suited to drivers with some RC experience who understand how to maintain and care for their equipment. However, the pre-glued assembly makes them extremely beginner-friendly from an installation perspective. If you're new to RC and seeking your first wheel and tyre upgrade, these Anaconda tyres represent an excellent introduction to performance upgrades that will noticeably improve your vehicle's on-road grip and handling.
- How long will these tyres last before requiring replacement? — The Anaconda compound has been engineered specifically for exceptional wear characteristics, meaning these tyres will maintain their performance over extended use. Actual lifespan depends on driving intensity, surface conditions, and maintenance practices. Racers pushing flat out will experience faster wear than recreational bashers, but the specially formulated rubber compound ensures consistent grip for considerably longer than standard tyres, making these a worthwhile investment for serious UK RC enthusiasts.
