Overview
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres, assembled and glued (split-spoke orange wheels, 1.9" Response Tyres) VXL Rated (extra wide, rear) represent a premium upgrade option for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's performance and appearance. These factory-assembled and pre-glued wheel and tyre combinations are engineered for high-performance RC cars, trucks and buggies across the UK RC hobby market. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, we recognise the importance of quality wheels and tyres in delivering both speed and handling consistency, making these components ideal for serious RC car UK hobbyists who demand reliability and professional-grade results.
Designed specifically for rear axle fitment on VXL-rated models, these extra-wide wheels provide enhanced stability and a larger contact patch for improved traction and cornering grip. The distinctive orange split-spoke design not only delivers striking visual appeal but also represents Traxxas's commitment to combining form and function. Whether you're upgrading an existing ready to run RC vehicle or building a custom setup, these pre-assembled wheel and tyre units eliminate the need for separate purchasing and manual assembly, saving time and ensuring optimal fitment and balance from the moment they're fitted to your RC model.
The 1.9" Response Tyres mounted on these wheels are engineered for consistent performance across various track surfaces and driving conditions, making them a versatile choice for bashers, racers and weekend drivers alike. Available from RC Model Shop with full UK support and authorised Traxxas dealer status, these wheels and tyres deliver professional quality and proven durability that serious RC enthusiasts have come to expect from the Traxxas brand.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Wheels & Tyres TRX8374A represent the pinnacle of factory wheel and tyre integration, combining precision engineering with proven performance. The split-spoke wheel design uses a rigid construction to minimise flex under cornering loads, whilst the orange anodised finish provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance even during intensive outdoor RC use. The 1.9" Response Tyres are formulated using a proprietary rubber compound that delivers optimal grip levels across asphalt, concrete, dirt and mixed surfaces, making these wheels and tyres genuinely versatile for UK RC hobbyists who may drive on various track types. The extra-wide rear profile significantly increases the tyre's contact patch compared to standard widths, resulting in measurably improved traction during acceleration out of corners and during high-speed straights. As factory-assembled units, the adhesive bond between tyre and wheel has been cured under controlled conditions, eliminating common issues such as tyre slippage or separation that can occur with field-assembled alternatives. The VXL rating certification confirms these components have been tested and validated for use with Traxxas's most powerful brushless motor systems, meaning they can reliably handle the stresses imposed by high-torque, rapid-acceleration driving without premature wear or failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels and tyres suitable for beginners exploring RC car UK hobby? — Yes, these Traxxas wheels and tyres are suitable for drivers of all experience levels. The factory assembly and pre-gluing eliminates complex installation steps, whilst the responsive handling characteristics help all drivers improve their skills and enjoy more consistent performance from their RC vehicle.
- Will these wheels and tyres fit my existing RC vehicle? — These components are specifically designed for VXL-rated Traxxas models and are configured for rear axle fitment. You should verify your vehicle's compatibility with 1.9" wheels and confirm that your model uses VXL-compatible suspension geometry to ensure proper fitment and optimal performance.
- What is the difference between the Response Tyre and other Traxxas tyre options? — The Response Tyre is engineered for balanced all-round performance across multiple surface types, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want versatility without specialising in specific track conditions. Other Traxxas tyre compounds are optimised for specific purposes such as high-grip racing or all-terrain bashing, but the Response delivers consistent mid-range grip suitable for most driving styles.
- How long do these tyres typically last? — Tyre lifespan depends significantly on driving intensity, surface type and maintenance habits. These factory-glued Response Tyres are built to Traxxas's high standards and will deliver extended service life compared to budget alternatives, though competitive racing will naturally consume tyres faster than casual weekend bashing.
- Can I replace just the tyres if they wear out? — These wheels and tyres are factory-glued as a complete unit. Whilst professional tyre service shops can sometimes separate and re-glue components, Traxxas engineers these as matched assemblies, so replacement as a complete unit is the recommended approach to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
- Are these wheels VXL Rated? — Yes, these wheels and tyres carry VXL Rating certification, confirming they have been engineered and tested for compatibility with Traxxas VXL brushless motor systems, allowing them to safely handle the high power output and rapid acceleration of these premium motors.
