Key Features

• 2.2-Inch Diameter Design — The 2.2-inch wheel size is the industry standard for 1:10 scale rock crawlers, providing the optimal balance between ground clearance and scale appearance. This diameter ensures your TRX-4 Sport maintains the correct proportions whilst delivering realistic off-road performance across varied terrain.

This classification ensures the wheels are optimised for low-speed technical driving rather than high-speed competition racing.
