When you're driving the Traxxas Slash 2WD, you want performance. You want speed. Most of all, you want stability. There are a lot of different Traxxas Slash 2WD wheels available on the market.
Traxxas Slash 2WD Tires & Wheels. TRAXXAS. Traxxas SCT Split-Spoke Satin Chrome Red Beadlock Wheels, dual profile (2.2'' outer 3.0'' inner) (Slash 2WD front), 5876A
The 4X4’s wheels are the same offset as the 2WD Slash rears. Traxxas wheels marked only “Front” are only for use as front wheels on the Slash 2WD. Wheels marked “Rear” or “4WD F-R” can be used as rear wheels on Slash 2WD, or as front and rear wheels for Slash 4X4. This illustration shows Stampede wheels, but it’s the same principle ...
The tread choices for multi-terrain use are SCT, BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A, and Kumho Road Venture MT. Not shown: paddle tires, which are strictly for sand and snow.
The Rally wheels come in black, orange, white, and green with replica BFGoodrich gravel-tread tires in the same compound as Slash tires. You can also get the tires in softer S1 rubber on white wheels as item number 7473R.
In a wheel with offset, the center of the wheel is ahead of the hub carrier face (negative offset) or behind it (positive offset). The wheels on 2WD Slash models have different front and rear offsets, so front wheels should not be mounted on the rear, and vice-versa.

The Slash 4X4’s suspension is the same width front and rear, and uses identical wheels on all four corners. The 4X4’s wheels are the same offset as ...
As with full-size tires, softer rubber and greater grip also means faster tread wear, but the S1 rubber isn’t that soft—you’ll still get good life out of S1 tires, especially if you’re primarily an off-road driver.
