When it comes to riding wheelies, the Traxxas wheelie bar offers wild wheels-up excitement for the power hungry enthusiast. Traxxas is now offering an impressive set of red-anodized machined aluminum wheelie bar wheels with rubber tires. The precision 6061-T6 aluminum wheels feature a stunning red-anodized finish and they ride on rubber-sealed 5×8mm ball bearings. For controllable and seemingly never-ending wheelies, Traxxas developed a durable, soft compound rubber tire that reduces side-to-side movement for stable, consistent wheelies. The rubber tires also absorb shock to help keep the tires in contact with the ground. The rubber tires are available separately and they also install on the stock nylon wheels.
