Technical Performance
The Traxxas Tyres, Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS 2.4x1.0in represent precision-engineered replacement rubber designed to optimise the TRX-4M platform's trail capabilities. Manufactured by Traxxas, the official brand behind the TRX-4M rock crawler system, these tyres benefit from extensive development and real-world testing to ensure they perform reliably across varied terrain. The 2.4x1.0 inch dimensions are specifically calculated to provide the optimal balance between increased ground clearance and maintained suspension geometry, ensuring that when paired with the Long Arm Lift Kit, your TRX-4M achieves over 35% increased centre ground clearance. These tyres are engineered to work seamlessly with TRX-4M suspension components, steering geometry and drivetrain, making them a fully integrated solution rather than a simple accessory. The rubber compound and tread pattern reflect Mickey Thompson's expertise in off-road tyre design, translating large-scale engineering principles into a 1/18 scale package. These tyres integrate with the TRX-4M's rock crawler suspension system, which features portal axles, independent suspension and locking differentials, creating a complete trail-capable platform when properly equipped. Whether you're tackling a rocky garden course, a dedicated RC track's rock crawling section, or natural outdoor terrain, these Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tyres deliver the performance and reliability expected from an official Traxxas component.
