Technical Performance

The Traxxas Geode 2.2in wheels represent carefully engineered components built for the demands of 1/16 scale RC truck driving. The 2.2 inch diameter is precisely calculated to provide optimal ground clearance, handling geometry and weight distribution for vehicles in this scale category. The chrome plating finish not only provides an attractive appearance but also offers durability against the elements, resisting corrosion and maintaining its lustrous appearance through regular use and cleaning. The blue beadlock system is fully functional, using integrated bead-locking rings to firmly grip the tyre bead and prevent the tyre from shifting or rolling during high-speed cornering, acceleration and emergency manoeuvres. This construction method has become the industry standard for serious RC off-road vehicles because it reliably prevents tyre rollover failure, which can be catastrophic during competition or casual driving. The 12mm hex fitting uses precision-machined socket interfaces that ensure a tight, secure connection to your vehicle's drive shafts and stub axles, eliminating wobbling or looseness that could compromise handling. Whether you're using these wheels with a brushless RC truck or any Traxxas 1/16 scale model, the engineering quality matches the exacting standards Traxxas applies across their entire range of RC vehicles and components.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these wheels compatible with my 1/16 scale RC truck? — These Traxxas Geode wheels feature a 12mm hex fitting which is the standard connection size for most 1/16 scale Traxxas vehicles and many other RC trucks in this size class. If your vehicle uses 12mm hex adapters on its drive shafts, these wheels will fit perfectly. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact our team if you're unsure about compatibility.
• What vehicles are these wheels designed for? — The Geode wheels are optimised for 1/16 scale RC trucks and are front and rear compatible, meaning you can use them on both the front and rear axles of your vehicle. They work with any Traxxas 1/16 scale model equipped with 12mm hex fittings, making them ideal for owners looking to upgrade the appearance and performance of their existing vehicles.
• Do I need tyres as well, or are they included? — The package includes 2 wheels only; tyres are sold separately. You'll need to source 2.2 inch tyres with 12mm hex mounting to complete your wheel setup. Traxxas offers a range of tyre options optimised for different driving conditions and terrains.
• What's the difference between beadlock wheels and standard wheels? — Beadlock wheels feature an integrated locking ring system that grips the tyre bead (the edge of the tyre that seats on the wheel) and prevents it from rolling or slipping during aggressive cornering, acceleration and jumping. This is especially important for RC off-road vehicles where high-performance handling is critical. Standard wheels rely solely on friction to keep the tyre in place, which can allow tyre rollover under demanding conditions. The beadlock design used on these Geode wheels is the preferred choice for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers.
• Will these wheels work with other RC manufacturers' vehicles? — These Traxxas wheels will fit any RC vehicle that uses 12mm hex fittings, which includes many vehicles from different manufacturers. However, compatibility also depends on the wheel offset, width and other dimensional factors. We recommend checking your vehicle's specifications or contacting our knowledgeable team before purchasing to ensure a perfect fit.
• How do I maintain and clean these chrome wheels? — The chrome finish is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to keep the polished finish looking pristine. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool which could damage the chrome plating. Regular gentle cleaning will keep your wheels looking like new through many months of RC driving.
