FAQs
Are tires included with these wheels?
No, tires are sold separately. These are replacement wheels only. It is recommended to use them with Tamiya Item 51589 tires.
What Tamiya models are these wheels compatible with?
These wheels are designed for Tamiya on-road racing trucks on the TT-01 Type-E or TT-02 chassis, specifically models like the 58632 and 58642.
What does 'pre-masked rims' mean?
It means that a masking material is already applied to the rim where the tire bead will sit, making the process of gluing the tires to the wheels cleaner and easier.
Can I use these wheels on a different brand of RC car?
These wheels are specifically designed for Tamiya chassis and may not fit or function correctly on other brands or different Tamiya chassis types.
What is the finish of these wheels?

Are these wheels suitable for off-road use?
No, these wheels are designed for 'on-road' racing trucks and are not intended for off-road conditions. Using them off-road may cause damage.
Troubleshooting
Wheels do not fit the chassis.
Verify that you are using a compatible Tamiya chassis (TT-01 Type-E or TT-02 on-road racing truck variant) and that the wheel hex adapters are correctly installed.
Tires are difficult to mount.
Ensure you are using the recommended tires (e.g., Item 51589). The pre-masked rims are designed to aid mounting; ensure no debris is obstructing the tire bead. Gentle heat from a hairdryer can sometimes make tires more pliable for easier mounting.
Wheels appear damaged after a crash.
Inspect the wheels for cracks or significant deformation. For extensive damage, replacement of the wheel set may be necessary to maintain proper performance and safety.
