Overview
The Traxxas White Rear Mini Rally Wheels with Rally Tyres represent a premium upgrade for your Traxxas Mini Rally VXL, one of the most popular ready-to-run RC rally cars available in the UK. These purpose-designed rear wheels and tyres are engineered specifically for the demands of rally racing, delivering the handling precision and traction control that serious RC enthusiasts demand. Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to optimise your setup or a weekend basher wanting to upgrade from standard equipment, these white 8-spoke rally wheels deliver both aesthetic appeal and genuine performance improvements that will transform how your Mini Rally performs on tarmac, dirt, gravel and mixed terrain.
Rally racing requires a fundamentally different approach to wheel and tyre selection compared to circuit racing or bashing, and Traxxas has invested considerable engineering effort into developing Mini Rally-specific rubber that works in harmony with the vehicle's chassis geometry and suspension characteristics. These rear wheels aren't simply a colour option or cosmetic upgrade—they represent a carefully tuned component designed to maintain the Mini Rally's legendary handling balance and superior cornering performance that makes this RC car UK rally enthusiasts' first choice.
Supplied as a pair of pre-glued and pre-mounted wheels, these Traxxas Mini Rally rear wheels arrive ready to install onto your model with zero preparation time. The stunning white finish with chrome beadlock trim creates a factory-authentic rally racing look that complements the Mini Rally's iconic Ford RS200 inspiration, whilst the engineering underneath delivers measurable improvements in traction control and directional stability across a wide range of surfaces and conditions.
Key Features
- Softer compound rear tyres — The rear Mini Rally tyres are specifically formulated with a softer rubber compound compared to the harder front tyres, a critical design choice that maintains the vehicle's superior handling balance and prevents the rear end from sliding out during aggressive cornering manoeuvres on pavement and loose surfaces.
- Pre-glued and pre-mounted — These wheels arrive fully assembled with tyres already bonded to the rims, eliminating preparation time and allowing you to install them immediately without requiring specialised gluing equipment, drying time or technical expertise in tyre mounting.
- Unique directional tread pattern — The Mini Rally tyre features a sophisticated directional tread design optimised for rally surfaces, providing excellent traction on pavement, dirt, gravel and mixed terrain combinations without compromising on handling precision or predictability during high-speed direction changes.
- 8-spoke white alloy wheels — The distinctive 8-spoke wheel design is cast in quality alloy and finished in a clean white colour that authentically matches the period-correct rally racing aesthetic of the Ford RS200 body style, delivering genuine visual appeal alongside functional performance.
- Chrome beadlock trim — Chrome-plated beadlock ring detailing provides authentic racing appearance and serves a practical function in retaining tyre integrity during aggressive cornering, preventing tyre slip on the rim during hard rally racing manoeuvres.
- 12mm hex rear fitment — These wheels are engineered specifically for the rear axle position of the Mini Rally, utilising the standard 12mm hex drive that mates perfectly with the vehicle's rear suspension geometry and provides positive drivetrain engagement.
- Pair pack format — Supplied as a matching pair of two complete wheel assemblies, ensuring visual consistency and performance symmetry across the rear axle, which is essential for maintaining predictable handling characteristics during competitive rally driving.
Technical Performance
The Mini Rally rear tyres represent a masterclass in rally-specific tyre compound development by Traxxas engineers. The deliberate softness of the rear compound compared to the front tyres creates a carefully balanced tyre stiffness differential that preserves the Mini Rally's renowned handling precision whilst preventing oversteer tendency. This compound differential is critical in rally driving because it allows the rear end to maintain traction during tight cornering sequences without inducing the understeer or unpredictable behaviour that can occur if tyre compounds are mismatched. The unique directional tread pattern has been developed through extensive track testing to optimise performance across the varied surfaces encountered in authentic rally competition—from high-grip tarmac to loose gravel and mixed terrain combinations that demand versatile performance characteristics. The white alloy construction provides durability for repeated impacts whilst maintaining the lightweight rotating mass essential for responsive handling. The chrome beadlock detailing isn't purely cosmetic; the beadlock ring provides mechanical retention of the tyre on the rim during extreme cornering loads, preventing tyre slip that would devastate lap times or race results. These are proper rally racing components designed for competition use, not simply cosmetic wheel upgrades, and they perform accordingly when pushed hard on demanding rally stages.
