Key Features
- Multi-Spoke Professional Design — The multi-spoke wheel design offers exceptional visual appeal whilst maintaining structural integrity under demanding off-road conditions, ensuring your RC buggy looks competitive and performs reliably lap after lap.
- Gold Powder-Coated Finish — The premium gold finish is applied through powder-coating, which provides superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard paint, keeping your wheels looking factory-fresh throughout the racing season.
- 12mm Hex Mounting System — The 12mm wheel hex is the industry-standard connection for 1/10 scale buggies, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with your existing drive components and making wheel swaps quick and straightforward on race day.
- Front and Rear Fitment — These wheels are designed to work as both front and rear wheels, providing flexibility in your setup and allowing you to purchase a single set that covers all four corners of your RC model.
- Universal 1/10 Scale 4WD Buggy Compatibility — Engineered to fit most popular 10th scale 4WD buggy tyres, these wheels work with a wide range of models from various manufacturers, making them a smart investment for any RC enthusiast with multiple buggies.
- Pre-Painted Ready to Use — Unlike bare wheels that require painting and finishing, this set arrives pre-painted in professional gold, allowing immediate installation and use without additional preparation time.
- Optimised Wheel Sizing — The front wheels measure 85mm in diameter with a width of 32mm (35mm with tyres), whilst rear wheels maintain the same 85mm diameter with 37mm width (40mm with tyres), providing balanced handling and stability across varied terrain.
Technical Performance
The Carisma M48S Multi Spoke Wheels Set represents a carefully engineered solution for 1/10 scale RC buggy enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-quality wheels that deliver consistent performance. The 85mm diameter across both front and rear ensures balanced weight distribution and predictable handling characteristics on any surface, from smooth circuit tracks to rough outdoor terrain. The multi-spoke design isn't purely aesthetic—it provides optimal material distribution that maximises strength whilst minimising unsprung weight, which directly improves acceleration and deceleration responsiveness. The front wheels' 32mm width (expanding to 35mm with fitted tyres) pairs perfectly with rear wheels measuring 37mm wide (40mm with tyres), creating a stance that enhances cornering grip and stability. The 12mm hex mounting system uses industry-standard dimensions verified by countless manufacturers, ensuring that regardless of whether you're building a precision race machine or maintaining multiple ready to run RC buggies, your setup will be perfectly compatible. The gold powder-coat finish isn't merely cosmetic—powder coating creates a harder, more durable surface than conventional paint, providing superior resistance to moisture, dirt accumulation, and the wear that comes from repeated track sessions. This finish quality means your wheels maintain their appearance and protective coating integrity through numerous races and casual bashing sessions.
