Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the RC Overhaul Spare Wheel Cover and what does it do? — The RC Overhaul Spare Wheel Cover is a scale accessory designed to enhance the realistic appearance of 1/10 scale RC off-road vehicles. It's a faux leather cover with two-tone screen-printed design that slides over your spare wheel to replicate the look of a genuine spare tyre found on full-size off-road vehicles. It adds authenticity and visual detail to your RC model, making it ideal for scale crawlers and realistic builds.
- Will this spare wheel cover fit my 1/10 RC vehicle? — The cover is designed to fit 1/10th scale spare wheels around 100mm in diameter and up to 40mm in width. If your spare wheel falls within these dimensions, the elasticated opening will stretch to accommodate it securely. Check your wheel size before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your specific RC vehicle.
- Is this compatible with all 1/10 scale RC crawlers and off-road vehicles? — Whilst this cover is engineered for standard 1/10 scale wheels, compatibility depends on your specific wheel size and mounting method. Most popular 1/10 scale RC vehicles, including trail crawlers, buggies, and scale 4x4 builds, use wheels within the 100mm diameter and 40mm width range. If you're unsure about your wheel specifications, consult your vehicle's manual or contact our team at RC Model Shop for advice.
- Is the wheel included with this product? — No, the spare wheel is not included with this accessory. You will need to source your own 1/10th scale spare wheel (approximately 100mm diameter, up to 40mm width) to use with this cover. The cover is designed as an accessory to enhance the appearance of your existing wheel.
- How do I attach the spare wheel cover to my wheel? — The elasticated back opening allows you to stretch the cover and slide it over your spare wheel. No tools or adhesives are required. Simply align the opening with your wheel's width and stretch the elastic as needed to achieve a snug fit. The elastic will hold the cover securely in place without slipping.
- Is the faux leather material waterproof? — The faux leather material is designed to withstand exposure to moisture and outdoor conditions typical of RC driving. Whilst it's not specifically rated as waterproof, the material resists water absorption and won't be damaged by wet conditions or light rain. For extended outdoor use, allow the cover to dry naturally if exposed to heavy water exposure.
- Will this cover stay on during driving? — Yes, the elasticated back opening is engineered to hold the cover securely around your spare wheel during driving and transport. The elastic provides sufficient tension to prevent the cover from slipping or coming loose, even during off-road bashings or trail driving sessions.
- How do I clean this spare wheel cover? — Simply wipe the faux leather material with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, which could damage the screen-printed design. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and soft cloth.
- Can I use this cover on wheels larger or smaller than 100mm? — The cover is specifically dimensioned for 100mm diameter wheels. Whilst the elasticated opening provides some flexibility, attempting to fit it on wheels significantly larger or smaller than the specified 100mm diameter may result in poor fit, excessive slack, or binding. For best results, use wheels within the stated specifications.
- Is this product suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is a simple, plug-and-play accessory that requires no technical knowledge or installation expertise. Even beginners can attach this cover to their spare wheel in seconds. It's an ideal first upgrade for anyone looking to enhance the scale appearance of their RC vehicle.
- Why should I add a spare wheel cover to my RC vehicle? — Spare wheel covers are a popular detail accessory that significantly enhance the scale authenticity of your RC build. They add visual realism and are particularly popular in the RC crawler and scale vehicle community. If you're interested in creating a highly detailed, realistic-looking off-road vehicle, this cover is an inexpensive way to achieve that goal.
