The Traxxas Tyres, 1.9 Gymkhana Slick TRX7373 represent the pinnacle of slick tyre engineering for precision RC driving. The slick tread pattern, devoid of traditional grooves and sipes, maximises the rubber contact patch against the driving surface, a critical factor in achieving the cornering grip and stability required for gymkhana courses and precision driving events. The smooth compound is specifically formulated to provide consistent wear characteristics and predictable handling throughout the tyre's lifespan, which is essential when developing driving techniques and competing at high levels. The 1.9-inch sizing is a popular standard in RC racing, and these tyres have been engineered to work seamlessly with wheel systems and suspension setups across numerous RC car platforms. The precision manufacturing ensures that each tyre maintains dimensional consistency and balanced weight distribution, eliminating vibration and providing the smooth, responsive handling that competitive drivers demand.

The slick design also contributes to reduced rolling resistance, allowing your RC vehicle to maintain momentum and efficiency, which directly translates to faster lap times and improved battery runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between slick tyres and treaded tyres for RC cars? — Slick tyres like the Traxxas Gymkhana Slicks have a smooth, continuous rubber surface with no grooves or tread pattern, which maximises contact area with smooth or prepared surfaces for superior grip and consistent handling. Treaded tyres, by contrast, feature grooves and sipes designed for loose or wet surfaces. Slick tyres are ideal for competitive driving on smooth tracks, tarmac, and prepared courses, whereas treaded tyres excel in off-road conditions. For precision gymkhana driving and street courses, slicks are the professional choice.
• What vehicles are these Traxxas 1.9-inch slick tyres compatible with? — These 1.9-inch tyres are compatible with any RC vehicle that uses 1.9-inch wheel hubs and rims, which includes many popular Traxxas models and various other RC car brands. Always verify your vehicle's wheel size before purchasing to ensure compatibility. If you're unsure, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can help you identify the correct tyre size for your specific RC car.
• Are these suitable for beginners, or are they only for competitive drivers? — Whilst slick tyres are the choice of competitive RC drivers, they're also excellent for any enthusiast who wants to improve their handling and driving performance. Beginners can certainly use these tyres and will benefit from the improved grip and predictable handling characteristics as they develop their driving skills. However, beginners may find slick tyres more challenging to control than off-road or all-terrain tyres until they've developed more advanced driving techniques. These tyres are best suited to drivers with some experience in RC car control.
• How often do I need to replace these slick tyres? — Tyre lifespan depends on frequency of use, driving surface quality, and driving style. Slick tyres used regularly on rough or abrasive surfaces will wear faster than those used on smooth tracks. The consistent performance of Traxxas tyres means they maintain their characteristics well through their lifespan, but competitive drivers often replace them for critical events to ensure peak performance. For recreational use, one set typically lasts many hours of driving before needing replacement.
• Can I use these slick tyres on off-road surfaces? — Slick tyres are specifically designed for smooth or prepared surfaces like tarmac, concrete, and polished tracks. They are not suitable for off-road driving on dirt, grass, or loose surfaces, where traditional treaded all-terrain tyres provide superior grip and traction. Using slicks on unsuitable surfaces will result in poor handling, reduced grip, and accelerated wear. Choose treaded tyres for off-road use and slicks for on-road and precision driving applications.
• What is included in the TRX7373 package? — The Traxxas Tyres TRX7373 includes two complete slick tyres sized at 1.9 inches. Tyres are sold separately from wheels and rims, so you'll need to mount these tyres on compatible 1.9-inch wheel hubs to use them on your RC vehicle.
