Detailed Technical Specifications
1. Aggressive All-Terrain Tread
-
Multi-Surface Grip: The deep, block-style lugs are spaced to provide maximum "bite" in loose dirt, grass, and gravel, while the center lugs are shaped for smooth tracking on asphalt.
-
Self-Cleaning Design: The tread spacing is optimized to sling mud and debris out of the grooves, maintaining consistent traction even in wet trail conditions.
2. Reinforced Wheel Construction
-
17mm Splined Hex: Specifically engineered to mate with the Traxxas 17mm splined hubs.
This design provides a massive surface area to transfer power, virtually eliminating the risk of stripping a wheel hex during 4S-powered launches. -
Impact-Resistant Nylon: The wheels are molded from a high-strength composite that resists cracking during heavy landings or curb strikes.
3. Factory Pre-Mounted Convenience
-
Tough-Glue™ Technology: Traxxas uses a specialized industrial-grade adhesive to bond the tire to the rim, ensuring the beads stay "locked-on" even under the centrifugal force of 50+ MPH speeds.
-
Perfect Balance: Each assembly is factory-checked to minimize vibration, protecting your drivetrain bearings from premature wear.
