These tyres come pre-glued and mounted with foam inserts to ensure perfect balance and consistent performance from the moment you install them.

Key Features

• Pre-assembled and pre-glued construction — The wheels and tyres arrive completely assembled and glued together, ready to install on your RC car without any additional preparation, saving you valuable setup time and ensuring professional-quality assembly every time.

• 12mm hex fitting compatibility — The 12mm hex mount ensures these wheels fit a wide range of Traxxas models including 4WD vehicles on front and rear axles, and 2WD vehicles on the rear axle, making them a versatile upgrade or replacement option.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX7573X combine precision engineering with practical functionality. The slick tyre compound delivers exceptional grip on on-road surfaces whilst the smooth profile minimises rolling resistance, directly translating to faster acceleration and higher top speeds compared to treaded alternatives. The 12-spoke wheel design isn't purely aesthetic—the spoke geometry is engineered to provide optimal strength-to-weight ratio, crucial for maintaining performance during rapid acceleration, hard braking, and high-speed cornering. The foam inserts work in concert with the tyre sidewall to absorb micro-vibrations and impacts, maintaining consistent wheel balance and tyre contact patch throughout your driving session. Built to Traxxas Stability Management standards, these components have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they perform reliably at the extreme speeds and forces generated by high-performance RC vehicles. The red chrome finish is more than just attractive—it's a durable coating that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through countless hours of use. The 2.2-inch outer diameter with 3.0-inch inner rim diameter ensures proper fit and clearance on compatible vehicles, whether you're running a short-course truck, stadium truck, or touring car setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles are these wheels and tyres compatible with? — These wheels fit any RC car with 12mm hex hubs, including Traxxas 4WD models where they can be used on front or rear axles, and 2WD models where they fit the rear axle only. Check your vehicle's specifications to confirm 12mm hex compatibility before ordering.
• Why choose slick tyres instead of treaded rally or off-road tyres? — Slick tyres deliver significantly better performance on smooth surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and sealed tracks by maximising contact patch and minimising rolling resistance, resulting in faster speeds and more responsive handling. They're ideal for on-road racing, circuit driving, and high-speed bashing on pavement. If you drive primarily on gravel or dirt, rally or off-road pattern tyres would be more suitable.
• Do I need to glue these wheels myself? — No, the wheels and tyres arrive pre-glued and assembled, ready to install directly onto your RC car. This saves time and eliminates the uncertainty of DIY wheel gluing, ensuring professional-quality assembly from the moment you unbox them.
• What is the difference between these slick wheels and rally or off-road versions? — The primary difference is tyre design. These slick tyres have smooth treads optimised for on-road grip and speed, whilst rally tyres feature directional tread patterns for mixed surfaces and gravel, and off-road tyres have aggressive lugs for dirt and mud. Choose based on your primary driving environment—slick for tarmac racing, rally for mixed surfaces, and off-road for dirt tracks.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are an excellent choice for any RC enthusiast, from beginners to experienced drivers. The pre-assembled, pre-glued construction means there's no technical assembly required, making them particularly convenient for those new to RC hobbies. Simply install them and drive.
• What does TSM® rated mean? — TSM® (Traxxas Stability Management) rated means these components have been tested and validated by Traxxas engineers for use on high-performance vehicles capable of extreme speeds and acceleration. It's a mark of quality assurance and proven durability in demanding conditions.
• Can I use these on both 2WD and 4WD vehicles? — These wheels fit both 2WD and 4WD vehicles with 12mm hex hubs. On 4WD vehicles they can be used front and rear, whilst on 2WD vehicles they fit the rear axle only. Always verify your vehicle's hub specification before purchasing.
• How long do slick tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends heavily on driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance. Aggressive racing will wear tyres faster than casual driving. With proper care and storage (keeping them out of direct sunlight), these Traxxas slick tyres typically provide many hours of enjoyable driving before replacement becomes necessary.
