Technical Performance

The Traxxas TRX6873R wheel and tyre assembly represents a carefully engineered solution for 1/10 scale short course truck enthusiasts seeking premium rolling stock. The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tyres are replica designs that capture the authentic appearance and performance characteristics of the full-scale truck tyre, engineered from ultra-soft S1-compound rubber that provides exceptional bite and maintains grip even when track surfaces become marginal. The satin chrome Split-Spoke wheels are manufactured to exacting specifications with precision fitment to 12mm hexes, ensuring zero slop and maximum responsiveness during acceleration, braking, and cornering manoeuvres. The foam inserts bundled with each pair are critical components that absorb shock impacts, maintain tyre consistency throughout extended driving sessions, and prevent tyre rollover during high-speed cornering. These wheels are offered in a pair configuration, with mounting suitable for 4WD front and rear positions on compatible models, or alternatively as a 2WD rear upgrade. The dual profile 2.2/3.0-inch diameter design ensures compatibility with a broad range of aftermarket rubber options, giving you the flexibility to experiment with alternative compounds and tread patterns as your driving style and local track conditions evolve. This is a complete, ready-to-install solution that requires no additional gluing, mounting, or preparation before fitting to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these tyres suitable for both 4WD and 2WD short course trucks? — Yes, this package is specifically designed for compatibility with both 4WD and 2WD applications. The tyres fit 4WD front and rear positions, or can be used as a 2WD rear upgrade. The offset and fitment specifications match Traxxas Slash 2WD rear wheels, ensuring proper geometry and handling characteristics regardless of your vehicle configuration.
• What makes the S1-compound rubber different from standard tyres? — The S1-compound is an ultra-soft formulation that provides superior grip and traction compared to harder standard compounds. This softer rubber bites into the track surface more aggressively, making it ideal for loose, sandy, and muddy terrain where grip is at a premium. However, softer compounds typically wear faster under high-speed use, which is an acceptable trade-off for the performance benefits.
• Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels myself? — No. These tyres arrive pre-glued and mounted to the wheels with foam inserts already installed. This is one of the key advantages of this product—you can unbox them and install them directly onto your RC vehicle without any preparation, saving hours compared to manual mounting and gluing.
• What vehicles are these compatible with? — These tyres and wheels are compatible with multiple Traxxas short course truck models including the Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Slash VXL in multiple colours, and other vehicles featuring 12mm hex connections and similar geometry. The 2.2/3.0-inch dual profile design also works with aftermarket 2.2 and 3.0-inch tyres, providing upgrade flexibility.
• Will these tyres fit my 2WD Slash? — Yes, these tyres are compatible with 2WD Slash models, specifically for rear fitment. The wheel offset matches the factory Traxxas Slash 2WD rear specifications, ensuring proper geometry and handling balance.
• What do the foam inserts do? — The pre-installed foam inserts provide critical damping and support for the tyres. They help maintain consistent tyre shape during aggressive cornering and acceleration, prevent excessive tyre flex that can cause unpredictable handling, and extend the overall lifespan of your tyres by protecting them from damage during high-impact driving.
