Key Features
- Forward-Thinking 1/8 Buggy Style Mounting Beads — The wheels feature advanced mounting beads designed specifically for 1/8 scale buggies, which provide increased bonding strength when gluing your tyres to the wheels. This modern bead design ensures your tyres stay securely attached even during aggressive driving and high-speed cornering.
- Textured Bonding Surfaces with Moulded Glue Channels — The bonding surface incorporates texture detail and moulded-in glue channels that work together to keep your tyres firmly secured to the wheel rim. This innovative feature provides superior tyre retention compared to basic wheel designs.
- Premium Impact Modified Nylon Construction — Each wheel is moulded from Dupont nylon, the highest standard of nylon material available on the market today. This premium material provides an exceptional balance between strength and weight, ensuring your wheels can withstand the demands of competitive racing and aggressive bashing without adding unnecessary mass to your vehicle.
- Extremely Durable Yet Lightweight Design — The Velocity wheels are engineered to be both incredibly strong and impressively light. This combination is crucial for RC performance, as lighter wheels reduce rotational mass and improve acceleration and handling response whilst maintaining the durability needed for repeated impacts and intense driving sessions.
- Precision Balanced and True — Each wheel is manufactured to specified tolerances and is individually balanced and true before leaving the factory. This ensures consistent rolling performance across all four wheels and eliminates vibration that could affect your RC buggy's handling or top speed.
- Fits 17mm Hex — Universal Compatibility — The wheels feature a 17mm hex fitting, which is the standard mounting for today's most popular 1/8 scale trucks and buggies. This universal fitment makes them an easy upgrade for most modern RC vehicles.
- Front or Rear Use — Flexible Configuration — The zero offset design and construction allow these wheels to be used on both the front and rear of your vehicle, giving you complete flexibility in setting up your RC buggy exactly how you prefer.
- Made in the USA — These wheels are manufactured in the United States to the highest quality standards, ensuring consistency and reliability with every set you purchase.
Technical Performance
The Velocity 4.0" wheels represent a significant leap forward in wheel technology for 1/8 scale RC vehicles. The construction from premium impact-modified Dupont nylon ensures that these wheels can withstand the extreme stresses of modern RC racing and bashing without cracking, chipping, or deforming. The inner tyre diameter measures 3.3 inches, designed to work perfectly with 4.0" tyres and foam inserts that are standard across most 1/8 scale RC buggies and truggy platforms. The wheel diameter is 3.97 inches and the width is 2.27 inches, providing optimal contact patch and stability. The 17mm hex fitting is the industry-standard mount point for contemporary 1/8 scale vehicles, including Team Losi Racing models and competitors from other leading manufacturers. The specified tolerances ensure that each wheel is balanced and runs true, eliminating the vibration and handling inconsistencies that can result from poorly manufactured wheels. This attention to precision is particularly important at high speeds, where even minor wheel imbalance can affect your RC buggy's acceleration, top speed, and cornering performance. The advanced mounting bead design and textured bonding surfaces with moulded glue channels work together to create a superior tyre-to-wheel bond that resists separation during aggressive driving conditions. Whether you're competing in formal races or enjoying recreational bashing, the Velocity wheels deliver the performance and reliability that discerning RC enthusiasts demand.
