Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas Mini Slash with authentic style and performance. The Traxxas 1.4" Grey & Chrome Wheels w/ BFG Mud-Terrain Tyres are the perfect replacement tyre and wheel set for Mini Slash short course trucks across the UK RC hobby community. Whether you're bashing in the garden, tackling off-road terrain, or competing in RC racing events, these licensed BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tyres deliver the grip and traction you need to keep your RC car UK competitive.
These aren't just any replacement wheels and tyres for your ready to run RC short course truck. They come pre-mounted and ready to bolt straight onto your Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4, saving you valuable setup time. The striking grey and chrome dual-profile wheel design complements the modern aesthetics of your RC model whilst providing genuine performance benefits that serious RC enthusiasts in the UK demand.
If you're serious about your RC hobby, you'll appreciate that these are licensed BFGoodrich components. That means the design, tread pattern, sidewall lettering and overall authenticity are all based on real-world BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tyres. This attention to detail is what separates genuine Traxxas products from inferior alternatives, and it's why serious RC model owners choose Traxxas accessories.
Key Features
- Licensed BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 Tyres — These tyres feature official BFGoodrich branding and authentic design elements, meaning you're getting a product based on real-world tyre engineering. This authenticity matters because the tread patterns and compound formulation are derived from actual off-road performance data, giving your RC car genuine multi-terrain capability.
- Authentic Beadlock Pattern — The beadlock pattern is meticulously recreated down to the smallest detail, providing both visual authenticity and functional benefit. The beadlock design helps secure the tyre to the wheel rim, preventing tyre slip during aggressive cornering or high-speed manoeuvres on off-road terrain.
- Raised Sidewall Lettering — The raised BFGoodrich branding on the sidewall isn't just cosmetic. It adds visual impact to your RC short course truck and demonstrates the level of detail Traxxas puts into their licensed products. If you're displaying your RC model or racing competitively, these details matter.
- Medium-Compound Rubber — The tyre compound has been specifically formulated to deliver the perfect balance of grip, treadwear resistance, and multi-terrain traction. Medium compound tyres perform well across a variety of surfaces, whether you're racing on concrete, dirt, gravel, or grass. This versatility makes them an excellent all-purpose tyre choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK.
- Dual-Profile Grey Wheels — The wheels feature a modern dual-profile design in eye-catching grey with chrome accents. This isn't just about looks; the dual-profile design provides structural benefits including improved weight distribution and enhanced durability during intense driving sessions.
- Quick and Easy Installation — Since these tyres come pre-mounted to the wheels, you can have them fitted to your Mini Slash in minutes. No need to remove old tyres, clean rims, or struggle with bead-seating. Simply unbolt your old wheels and bolt these on. This convenience is perfect for UK RC hobbyists who want to change their setup without spending hours in preparation.
- Sold as a Pair — You receive two complete wheel and tyre assemblies, giving you options for rotation, replacement, or keeping a spare set ready for quick swaps between driving sessions.
Technical Performance
These 1.4-inch wheels with BFG Mud-Terrain tyres are engineered specifically for the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck platform. The medium-compound rubber formulation is designed to work optimally with the Mini Slash's 4-wheel-drive system, delivering consistent traction whether you're accelerating hard off the line, cornering aggressively, or braking into a turn. The multi-terrain traction profile means these tyres perform effectively on a range of surfaces that UK RC drivers encounter: dried grass, dirt tracks, concrete, gravel, and even light mud. The authentic Mud-Terrain tread pattern isn't just for show; it genuinely helps channel water and loose material away from the contact patch, improving grip in challenging conditions. The beadlock design prevents tyre slip on the rim during sideways slides and aggressive manoeuvres, maintaining consistent handling characteristics even during extended driving sessions. The grey wheels with chrome detailing provide a professional appearance that enhances the visual presentation of your Mini Slash, whether you're competing at UK RC racing events, documenting your setup for online communities, or simply enjoying casual backyard bashing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these tyres suitable for all Mini Slash models? — Yes, these wheels and tyres are specifically designed to fit the Traxxas Mini Slash BL-2S 4X4 RTR short course truck in all colour variants (Yellow, Orange, Pink, and Green). They bolt directly onto the existing wheel hubs without any modification needed.
- What surfaces are these tyres designed for? — The medium-compound Mud-Terrain tyres excel on multiple terrain types including dirt, gravel, grass, concrete, and light mud. This makes them an excellent all-purpose choice for UK RC drivers who want one set of tyres that performs well across different driving environments rather than changing tyres for each location.
- How long will these tyres last? — The medium-compound rubber offers good treadwear resistance, making these tyres more durable than softer racing compounds. Actual lifespan depends on your driving style, surface roughness, and frequency of use. Competitive drivers might see several hours of use before noticeable wear, whilst casual bashers will enjoy even longer tyre life.

They are manufactured to Traxxas quality standards and come with the assurance of an authorised retailer. When you buy from RC Model Shop, you're guaranteed authentic products, not counterfeit alternatives.
- Can I use these tyres on other RC vehicles? — These 1.4-inch wheels are specifically designed for the Mini Slash platform. They may not fit other RC models due to different hub designs and offsets. Always check compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing.
- Do these come ready to use? — Completely. The tyres are already mounted to the wheels, meaning you just need to bolt them onto your Mini Slash and you're ready to drive. There's no waiting for tyres to be fitted or any assembly required.
- What makes these better than cheaper generic alternatives? — These are licensed BFGoodrich products with authentic tread patterns engineered for genuine performance. The beadlock design prevents tyre slip, the medium compound provides balanced performance across multiple surfaces, and the dual-profile wheel design offers improved durability.
