FAQs
What vehicles are these wheels compatible with?
These wheels feature a 12mm hex fitment and are designed for 1:16 scale RC vehicles such as the 1/16 Stadium Truck, E-Revo FR/R, Summit FR/R, and Savage XS Flux FR/R. Always confirm your vehicle uses 12mm hex hubs.
What does 'Soft Compound' mean for performance?
A soft compound tire provides increased grip and flexibility, conforming better to surfaces for improved traction on dirt, grass, and carpet. However, it may wear faster on abrasive surfaces.
How do I clean the black chrome finish?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the wheels clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
Can these wheels be used on larger scale RC cars?
No, these wheels are specifically designed for 1:16 scale RC vehicles and feature a 12mm hex fitment, which is not compatible with larger scale models.
Are the tires pre-glued to the wheels?
The product description does not specify if tires are pre-glued. Typically, wheels and tires may be sold separately or pre-mounted. Please check the specific product packaging or listing details.
What is the main benefit of the soft compound?
The main benefit is enhanced traction and grip, leading to better acceleration, braking, and cornering performance, especially on off-road or less predictable surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Wheel does not fit the axle.
Verify that your vehicle has a 12mm hex hub. Ensure you are using the correct wheel nuts or pins for your axle type.
Tire loses grip suddenly.
Check if the tire compound is appropriate for the surface. Clean the tires to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the tire is properly glued to the wheel.
Wheel appears wobbly during operation.
Ensure the wheel is securely fastened to the 12mm hex hub. Check that the hub itself is properly attached to the axle and that no parts are bent or damaged.
Black chrome finish is scratched.
Minor scratches are a normal part of use with RC vehicles. For cosmetic issues, careful polishing with a soft cloth might help. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods that could worsen the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These Louise RC St-Pioneer wheels are specifically designed with a 12mm hex fitment. Ensure your 1:16 scale RC vehicle uses 12mm wheel hubs on the front and rear axles. Compatible models include, but are not limited to, 1/16 Stadium Truck, E-Revo FR/R, Summit FR/R, and Savage XS Flux FR/R.
Setup: Installation involves removing the existing wheel and tire assembly and replacing it with the new Louise RC St-Pioneer wheels. Secure them using the appropriate wheel nuts or pin retention system for your vehicle's axle. Ensure they are tightened properly to prevent wobbling but avoid over-tightening, which could strip threads.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean the wheels and tires after each use, especially if exposed to dirt or debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the black chrome finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish or the tire compound. Store the wheels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
