The Traxxas Wheel Covers in Satin Black Chrome are premium styling accessories designed to enhance the appearance of your RC model equipped with #9572 wheels. This four-piece set delivers a sophisticated, factory-finished look that transforms the visual impact of your RC vehicle, whether you're running a trail truck, rock crawler, or scale model on challenging terrain. Perfect for RC enthusiasts across the UK who want to add that extra touch of professional detailing to their builds, these wheel covers provide an authentic chrome finish that catches light beautifully whilst maintaining durability through serious off-road use.
If you're building the ultimate trail machine or customising your RC car in the UK, wheel covers are one of the easiest ways to elevate your model's appearance without compromising performance. The satin black chrome finish offers a modern, high-quality aesthetic that works with virtually any colour scheme, from classic black bodies to vibrant custom paint jobs.

Compatible with the #9572 wheels, this four-piece set ensures complete coverage across all four wheels of your RC model. The satin finish prevents the reflective glare of pure chrome whilst maintaining that premium appearance that collectors and competitive builders appreciate.
Key Features
- Satin Black Chrome Finish — The wheel covers feature a sophisticated satin black chrome plating that provides a premium, factory-quality appearance without the glare of standard polished chrome. This finish resists fingerprints and maintains its lustrous appearance through repeated use and cleaning, making it ideal for display models and active runners alike.
- Four-Piece Set — This package includes all four wheel covers you need to fully outfit your RC vehicle, ensuring consistent styling across all wheels and eliminating the need to purchase multiple sets or worry about incomplete coverage.
- Fits #9572 Wheels — These covers are precision-engineered to fit Traxxas #9572 wheels perfectly, ensuring a secure fit that won't slip or rattle during aggressive driving on rocky terrain or high-speed circuits. The correct fitment is crucial for maintaining the professional appearance of your build.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the demands of active RC use, these wheel covers maintain their finish through mud, water, and dust exposure typical of trail running and rock crawling adventures throughout the UK and beyond.
- Easy Installation — The covers slip onto your wheels without requiring special tools or modifications, making them an accessible upgrade for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels who want immediate visual improvements to their models.
- Authenticity and Detail — Perfect for scale-focused builders, these Traxxas OEM wheel covers add genuine factory-level detail to your RC model, enhancing realism and collector value whilst maintaining the performance characteristics of your setup.
Technical Performance
Wheel covers might seem like a purely cosmetic upgrade, but they represent a key element of professional RC build quality. The satin black chrome finish on this four-piece set demonstrates Traxxas' commitment to offering authentic styling components that match the build quality of their vehicles. The material composition provides durability essential for active RC use, resisting the wear and tear of trail running, water crossings, and outdoor storage that UK-based RC enthusiasts regularly encounter. Unlike cheaper imitation wheel covers that fade, crack, or lose their finish within weeks, genuine Traxxas covers are engineered to maintain their appearance through dozens of running sessions. The precision fit to #9572 wheels means there's no wobble or movement under acceleration or cornering, which is particularly important for maintaining the visual appeal of scale builds where every detail matters. For builders working on ultimate trail setups or competition-grade rock crawlers, these covers complement other performance upgrades like aluminium portal housings, chromoly driveshafts, and aftermarket shock absorbers, creating a cohesive, purpose-built appearance that reflects the serious engineering underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do these wheel covers fit all Traxxas wheels? — No, these covers are specifically designed for #9572 wheels. It's important to verify your current wheels match this specification before purchasing. Using covers on incompatible wheels could result in a poor fit and potential damage to both the covers and wheel rims.
- Will these wheel covers stay on during aggressive off-road driving? — Yes, Traxxas wheel covers are engineered with precise tolerances to fit securely onto their designated wheels. They won't slip off during normal driving, water crossings, or rock crawling sessions, though some users prefer to add a small amount of thread-lock compound to the internal contact points for additional security during extreme use.
- Can I paint or modify these wheel covers? — The satin black chrome finish can be modified if desired, though it's not recommended for standard use. Some builders have applied matte clear coat to chrome wheel covers to reduce shine and create an aluminium appearance, similar to what was done in the Ultimate TRX-6 build project. Any modification should be tested on a spare part first.
- Are these covers suitable for scale trail builds? — Absolutely. These wheel covers are particularly valued by scale-focused builders working on authentic builds, as they add genuine factory-level detail and visual authenticity. They're excellent for completing the look of ultimate trail setups and rock crawlers where every visual detail contributes to the overall presentation.
- What is the difference between satin black chrome and standard chrome? — Satin black chrome offers a more subdued, modern aesthetic with reduced reflectivity compared to high-polished chrome. This finish is less prone to showing fingerprints and dust, making it more practical for active use whilst still maintaining that premium appearance that professional builders demand.
- Do I need any tools or adhesives to install these covers? — No special tools or permanent adhesives are required. The covers simply slip onto your #9572 wheels. Most users find installation takes just a few minutes per wheel, making this one of the quickest cosmetic upgrades you can perform on your RC model.
