FAQs

What size tires fit these wheels?

These wheels are designed for standard 1.9-inch (approximately 52mm outer diameter) RC touring car tires.

Do these wheels come with tires?

No, these wheels are sold individually and require separate purchase of RC tires.

Can I use these on a different brand of RC car?

While possible with adapters, these wheels are designed for specific Tamiya chassis (TA05/TA06/TB03/TA04) and may not fit other brands without modification.

What does 'Offset 0' mean?

Offset 0 means the mounting surface of the wheel is centered relative to the rim's edge, which typically results in the wheel sitting flush with the vehicle's body line for stable handling.

Are these wheels suitable for off-road RC cars?

No, these wheels are intended for on-road use only and are not designed for the stresses of off-road terrain.

How many wheels are included in a set?

This product listing typically includes a set of 4 wheels.

How do I clean the white wheels?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.

Troubleshooting

Wheel wobbles during operation

Ensure the wheel is securely fastened to the axle with the correct pin or nut. Check that the wheel hub on the chassis is clean and properly seated. Verify the tire is mounted evenly on the wheel.

Tire does not fit securely

Ensure you are using tires specifically designed for 1.9-inch (or 52mm) touring car wheels. Check for any debris inside the wheel rim where the tire bead seats. Some tires may benefit from tire glue for a permanent bond.

Wheels do not fit Tamiya chassis

Confirm your Tamiya chassis is one of the compatible models (TA05, TA06, TB03, TA04). Ensure you are using standard 12mm hex adapters if your chassis requires them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These wheels are specifically designed to fit Tamiya models utilizing a standard 12mm hex wheel hub on the TA05, TA06, TB03, and TA04 chassis. Always verify your chassis's wheel hub size and type before purchase.

Setup: To install, carefully mount your chosen RC touring car tires onto the wheel rim. Ensure the tire bead is seated evenly all around. If using tire inserts, select appropriate density for your driving surface. Secure the wheel onto the vehicle's axle using the appropriate pin and nut, or directly onto the hex adapter as per your chassis manual.

Care: Clean the wheels after use with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents, as they may damage the plastic. Store the wheels in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
