RPM Revolver Short Course Wheels 1/10 Traxxas Slash 2WD Black RPM82332

Overview

The RPM Revolver Short Course Wheels represent the pinnacle of RC wheel engineering, now available in a dedicated short course format designed specifically for 1/10 scale Traxxas Slash vehicles and other compatible platforms. These aren't just any RC wheels—they're the result of extensive customer demand and RPM's commitment to delivering products that combine visual appeal with uncompromising durability. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road RC adventures across the UK or a competitive racer pushing your short course truck to the limit, the Revolver Short Course Wheels deliver the performance characteristics you need to keep your Slash 2WD or 4WD performing at its peak.

Built tough like all RPM products, these wheels feature an all-new drive system engineered to withstand serious power delivery without compromise. The most popular RPM wheel has now been reimagined in a short course wheel configuration (2.2" outer diameter with 3.0" inner profile) that provides the perfect balance between genuine short course wheel aesthetics and practical versatility. Available in striking black, complemented by pink and chrome options, these wheels look incredible whilst delivering the strength and reliability that separates premium RC components from inferior alternatives. The inclusion of spline drive adapters in each pair means you're getting everything you need to mount these wheels immediately on your compatible brushless RC short course truck.

What sets the Revolver Short Course Wheels apart in the world of ready to run RC cars and hobby-grade vehicles is RPM's revolutionary Spline Drive system, a technological advancement that eliminates the spinning adapter problem that has plagued hex-based systems for decades. If you've ever experienced the frustration of wheel adapters spinning during acceleration or cornering, you'll immediately appreciate the engineering philosophy behind these wheels.

Key Features

• RPM Spline Drive System — The radically different spline drive technology used in these wheels directs rotational force in a near perpendicular direction, making wheel adapter spin-out virtually non-existent, unlike standard hex drives that push outward under acceleration.
• Twice the Drive Surface Area — Compared to standard 12mm hex adapters, the Spline Drive system provides almost double the contact surface area, ensuring power is transmitted efficiently without slippage or failure.
• Superior Thickness at Critical Points — The Spline Drive features over 2.5 times the thickness at the most critical drive point compared to standard hex adapters, and exceeds the durability of even 17mm hex systems whilst remaining lighter and more compact.
• Dual Profile Design — The 2.2" outer diameter combined with 3.0" inner profile creates a distinctive short course appearance whilst offering mounting flexibility for different Traxxas Slash configurations and compatible vehicles.
• Sold in Pairs with Adapters Included — Each purchase provides two complete wheels with spline drive adapters included, ensuring you have everything needed to upgrade your RC truck immediately without additional purchases.
• Versatile Compatibility — These wheels fit multiple platforms including Traxxas Slash 2WD (rear), Traxxas Slash 4WD (front or rear), HPI Blitz (front or rear), Kyosho Ultima SC (front or rear), Jammin' SCRT (front or rear), and OFNA Hyper 10SC (front or rear).
• Premium Plastic Construction — Built from tough engineering-grade materials like all RPM products, ensuring they withstand the rigours of both casual bashing and competitive racing without degradation.
• Industry-Leading Breakage Warranty — Backed by RPM's renowned lifetime warranty against breakage, providing peace of mind and confidence that your investment is protected for worry-free fun anywhere, anytime.
• Exceptional Visual Design — The distinctive Revolver wheel design looks incredible on your short course truck, combining form and function in a way that catches attention at the track or the local bash spot.

Technical Performance

The RPM Revolver Short Course Wheels represent a significant engineering advancement in RC wheel technology, moving away from the limitations of traditional hex-based drive systems that have dominated the hobby for years. The Spline Drive system addresses one of the most persistent problems in RC—wheel adapter spin-out—by using a design principle borrowed from full-sized automotive driveline components. Where a standard hex adapter relies on contact faces that push outward when rotational force is applied (causing the adapter to slip out of the wheel), the Spline Drive system directs force in a perpendicular direction, virtually eliminating this failure mode. The engineering advantage is measurable and significant: the Spline Drive provides 0.0744 square inches of contact area (nearly double a standard 12mm hex at 0.0377 square inches) and features 2.5 times the thickness at the critical failure point. Even when compared to oversized 17mm hex adapters—which offer only marginally more surface area at 0.0777 square inches—the RPM Spline Drive maintains nearly twice the critical thickness, proving that size isn't everything in engineering. The wheels themselves are constructed from the same proven engineering-grade nylon materials used throughout RPM's product range, materials that have been tested extensively in competitive and recreational RC environments. The 2.2" outer diameter combined with the 3.0" inner profile creates the distinctive short course wheel appearance whilst maintaining the fitment characteristics required for Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4WD platforms, as well as the other compatible vehicles listed. These wheels have been specifically engineered to work with RPM's Offset-Compensating Front A-arms for the Traxxas Slash 2WD, which can accommodate rear offset wheels at the front position, though standard 2WD front offset wheels will also mount (with the caveat that body clearance modifications may be required). The material selection ensures durability across all typical RC use cases, from high-speed stadium bashing to technical short course racing on challenging terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly is the RPM Spline Drive system and why is it better than hex adapters? — The Spline Drive is a revolutionary drive system that directs rotational force perpendicular to the adapter faces, unlike standard hex drives that push outward under load. This design virtually eliminates wheel adapter spin-out, which is a common problem with hex-based systems. The Spline Drive provides nearly double the surface area of a standard 12mm hex adapter and over 2.5 times the thickness at the critical failure point, making it stronger and more reliable even when compared to oversized 17mm hex systems.
• Will these wheels fit my Traxxas Slash 2WD? — Yes, these RPM Revolver Short Course Wheels are specifically designed to fit the Traxxas Slash 2WD as rear wheels. They're also compatible with the Traxxas Slash 4WD in both front and rear positions, plus multiple other RC short course platforms including HPI Blitz, Kyosho Ultima SC, Jammin' SCRT, and OFNA Hyper 10SC.
• Do these wheels come with tyres? — No, tyres are not included with these wheels. You'll need to source compatible 2.2" to 3.0" short course tyres separately to complete your setup.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The RPM Revolver Short Course Wheels are an excellent upgrade for any RC enthusiast, whether you're a beginner getting started with ready to run RC vehicles or an experienced racer. The included spline drive adapters mean installation is straightforward, and the revolutionary drive system actually makes these wheels more forgiving than traditional hex adapters by eliminating the spin-out problem that frustrates many RC drivers.
• What's the difference between the 2.2" outer and 3.0" inner profile measurement? — The dual profile design means the wheel has an outer diameter of 2.2" and an inner mounting diameter of 3.0". This creates the distinctive short course wheel appearance whilst ensuring proper fitment on your Slash or compatible vehicle. The difference in these measurements is what gives short course wheels their characteristic look.
• How do these wheels compare to stock Traxxas wheels? — RPM Revolver Short Course Wheels offer superior drive system technology through the Spline Drive system, which provides better durability and eliminates adapter spin-out compared to standard hex-based wheels. They also feature the proven engineering-grade nylon construction RPM is renowned for and are backed by RPM's industry-leading lifetime warranty against breakage.
• Can I use these wheels on the front of my Slash 2WD? — These wheels are specifically recommended for rear fitment on the Traxxas Slash 2WD. However, they can be used on the front if paired with RPM's Offset-Compensating Front A-arms, which are lengthened to compensate for the difference between front and rear wheel offsets. Using these rear-offset wheels on the front without the compensating A-arms may cause body rubbing and require additional wheel clearance modifications.
