Technical Performance
The Associated T4.2 12mm hex wheels represent the culmination of Team Associated's extensive experience in 1/10 stadium truck racing. These components are manufactured using premium materials engineered to withstand the demands of competitive track driving, where consistent geometry and durability directly impact lap times and reliability. The 12mm hex interface is the industry standard for modern 1/10 stadium trucks, providing a proven drivetrain connection that has been validated through countless hours of competitive racing worldwide. The hex dish profile delivers the low-profile aesthetic and structural rigidity required for tight cornering and precise vehicle control. Built to Team Associated's rigorous manufacturing tolerances, these wheels maintain their geometry through extended use, ensuring that your vehicle's handling characteristics remain predictable and consistent session after session. The bright yellow finish is applied using durable automotive-grade coatings designed to resist the wear, UV exposure and track debris that typically degrade cheaper wheel finishes over time.
