Overview
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, Assembled, Glued (XRT Race Black wheels, Maxx AT Tyres, foam inserts) represents the perfect solution for RC enthusiasts looking for ready-to-install performance wheels and tyres. This product is specifically designed for the Traxxas X-Maxx and XRT large-scale monster trucks, offering a complete wheel and tyre package that arrives pre-assembled and glued, eliminating the need for time-consuming installation and setup. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring the world of RC for the first time or an experienced RC hobbyist in the UK seeking reliable replacement wheels, this product delivers the quality and performance you'd expect from Traxxas, a brand recognised globally for producing some of the most advanced and durable RC vehicles available.
What sets these wheels and tyres apart is the combination of engineering excellence and practical convenience. The Maxx AT tyres are 8.0 inches by 4.0 inches and feature a ferocious grip profile with an aggressive tread pattern designed to deliver superior traction across a wide variety of terrain. Paired with the matte black XRT race wheels, these pre-glued assemblies are ready to fit onto your 24mm hex connectors on either the front or rear of your truck. The foam inserts are included to provide the essential cushioning and support that keeps your tyres securely seated on the wheels, even during extreme driving conditions. For buyers in the UK looking for high-quality RC truck wheels and tyres that require minimal preparation, this is an excellent choice that takes the guesswork out of wheel and tyre selection.
The fact that these wheels come pre-assembled and pre-glued using Traxxas's own bonding methods means you're getting factory-quality construction without the hassle. This is particularly valuable for those who want the convenience of ready-to-run RC setups or replacement wheels without the need for additional adhesives, clamps, or lengthy curing times. The matte black finish provides a sleek, professional appearance whilst maintaining the durability needed for serious off-road use.
Key Features
- Pre-Assembled and Pre-Glued Construction — These wheels and tyres arrive completely assembled and glued together, meaning you can install them directly onto your Traxxas X-Maxx or XRT without any additional preparation, adhesive application, or waiting for curing time. This saves you hours of setup work and ensures factory-quality bonding that's been tested to withstand extreme driving conditions.
- Maxx AT 8.0" x 4.0" Tyres with Aggressive Tread Pattern — The Maxx AT tyres are specifically engineered to provide ferocious grip and traction across multiple terrain types. The aggressive tread design is optimised for off-road performance, offering excellent bite in both loose and hard-packed surfaces, making them ideal for serious bashers and competition drivers alike.
- Matte Black XRT Race Wheels — The XRT race wheels feature a matte black finish that provides a professional, aggressive appearance whilst maintaining robust structural integrity. These wheels are designed to work seamlessly with large-scale Traxxas trucks and are engineered to handle the extreme forces generated during high-speed runs and aggressive driving.
- Integrated Foam Inserts — The foam inserts included with these wheels serve a critical function in maintaining tyre shape and ensuring proper seating on the wheel beads. These inserts help prevent tyre separation during acceleration, braking, and cornering, contributing to both performance and safety during operation.
- 24mm Hex Spline Fitting — These wheels utilise the industry-standard 24mm splined hex connection, making them compatible with the front or rear axles of compatible Traxxas models. This standardised fitting system ensures secure attachment and allows for straightforward wheel changes when needed.
- Left and Right Pair Configuration — This product includes both left and right wheels, allowing you to replace an entire axle set at once. The wheels are designed to work as matched pairs, ensuring balanced handling and consistent performance across both sides of your RC truck.
- Compatibility with Multiple Traxxas Models — These wheels and tyres are engineered to fit a range of Traxxas large-scale vehicles, including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR in multiple colours, the X-Maxx Ultimate variants, and the XRT VXL-8S models across various colour options. This versatility means whether you own an orange, blue, green, or black variant, these wheels will fit perfectly.
- Factory-Quality Glue Bond — Traxxas developed its Ultra Premium Tire Glue specifically for high-performance applications, ensuring that the bond between your tyre and wheel will withstand extreme centrifugal forces, rapid acceleration, and the stresses of competitive RC driving. The pre-glued construction uses the same bonding methods employed in the factory.
Technical Performance
These assembled and pre-glued wheels and tyres represent a significant step up in convenience for RC enthusiasts in the UK. The Maxx AT tyre is a large-scale tyre measuring 8.0 inches in diameter and 4.0 inches in width, designed for the extreme performance demands of brushless 1/7 scale monster trucks. The matte black XRT wheels are constructed to accommodate the forces generated by vehicles equipped with brushless motors and 8S LiPo battery systems, which can produce extraordinary acceleration and top speeds. The foam inserts integrated into these wheels serve a critical engineering function—they provide progressive stiffness that allows the tyres to deform smoothly over obstacles whilst maintaining structural integrity under extreme lateral forces. The glue bond has been formulated to maintain its integrity across wide temperature ranges and extended periods of high-speed operation. When properly installed on compatible vehicles, these wheels and tyres will maintain their bond integrity even when the vehicle is pushed to speeds exceeding 100 mph, a testament to the engineering quality inherent in Traxxas's factory assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres ready to install straight from the box? — Yes, these wheels and tyres arrive completely pre-assembled and pre-glued, ready for immediate installation onto your compatible Traxxas model. No additional glue, clamps, or curing time is required. You simply fit them onto your truck's 24mm hex splined axles and you're ready to drive.
- What vehicles are these wheels compatible with? — These wheels and tyres are compatible with the Traxxas X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR (all colour variants), the Traxxas X-Maxx Ultimate models, the Traxxas XRT VXL-8S, and the Traxxas XRT Ultimate, provided they feature 24mm hex splined axle connections. Always verify your specific model's compatibility before purchasing.
- Can I use these wheels on the front and rear of my truck? — Yes, these wheels are designed to work on both front and rear axles of compatible models. The left and right configuration ensures that directional considerations are properly accounted for, making them suitable for installation at either end of your vehicle.
- What makes the Maxx AT tyre special compared to other large-scale RC tyres? — The Maxx AT (All-Terrain) tyre features an aggressive tread pattern specifically engineered to deliver ferocious grip across diverse terrain. The 8.0" x 4.0" size is optimised for large-scale trucks and provides excellent flotation on soft ground whilst maintaining bite on harder surfaces. The AT designation indicates these tyres are versatile across multiple terrain types rather than being optimised for a single surface.
- Will the glue bond hold up during aggressive driving? — Absolutely. Traxxas factory-glued wheels and tyres are bonded using Ultra Premium Tire Glue, a cyanoacrylate adhesive specifically developed to withstand extreme conditions. The glue was engineered during the development of the XO-1 supercar (which exceeds 100 mph) to ensure tyres remain securely attached even at outrageously high RPM and centrifugal forces. The pre-glued construction in this product uses the same bonding methods and materials.
- What is the matte black finish made from? — The matte black finish on the XRT race wheels provides both aesthetic appeal and practical durability. The finish is designed to resist fading and maintain its appearance through extended use, whilst the underlying wheel construction is engineered for structural integrity under extreme stress.
- Do I need to vent these tyres after installation? — Venting is optional and depends on your driving conditions and preferences. The wheels feature rim vents that can be sealed with poster putty if you prefer watertight wheels, or left open to allow airflow. Some drivers choose to vent their tyres (by making small holes in the tread) for additional airflow, particularly if they drive in wet conditions. This is best done before mounting the tyres, but can be performed after if needed.
- What is the difference between these pre-glued wheels and wheels I'd assemble myself? — Pre-glued wheels offer the significant advantage of factory-quality assembly, professional bond consistency, and immediate usability. When you assemble wheels yourself, you must clean the bonding surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, carefully apply glue section by section, use cable wraps or rubber bands to maintain pressure during curing, and wait for complete cure time. The pre-glued option eliminates all of this work whilst guaranteeing the same quality as Traxxas factory techs achieve, making it ideal for drivers who value convenience and want to minimise setup time.
