These exceptional rear wheels deliver an authentic representation of real-world semi truck aesthetics, making them an ideal choice for enthusiasts building detailed scale models of heavy haulage vehicles.

RC truck enthusiasts across the UK and beyond recognise RC4WD as a leading manufacturer of scale RC parts, and these Roulette Super Single wheels exemplify the brand's commitment to precision and attention to detail.

These wheels are specifically designed to work seamlessly with RC4WD's matching tyre offerings and are confirmed to fit the popular Tamiya 56336 RC King Hauler Black Edition, one of the most sought-after scale semi truck models on the market. If you're building a scale-accurate semi truck or upgrading your existing RC truck collection, the Roulette Super Single wheels are an essential component that will elevate both the visual appeal and authenticity of your model.

Key Features

• CNC Machined Billet Aluminium Construction — Each wheel is machined from solid billet aluminium using precision CNC techniques, ensuring perfect concentricity, durability and consistent quality across the entire product. This manufacturing method eliminates casting defects and provides the strength required for reliable performance in scale RC applications.
• Silver Anodised Finish — The professional-grade silver anodised coating provides excellent corrosion resistance whilst delivering an authentic, polished appearance that accurately represents real semi truck wheels. The anodising process creates a hard, protective surface that resists wear and maintains its lustrous finish over extended use.
• 1.7-Inch Wheel Size — Sized at 1.7 inches with an outer diameter of 47.0mm, these wheels are purpose-built for scale semi truck models and deliver the correct proportions needed for authentic-looking builds. The specific sizing ensures compatibility with matching RC4WD tyres and confirmed fitment with popular scale semi truck chassis.
• Included Black Rounded Caps — Each wheel comes supplied with black rounded caps that add to the scale realism, replicating the centre hub caps found on genuine semi truck wheels. These caps are quick to install and removable using the included dedicated tool, allowing easy access to the wheel centre for maintenance or adjustments.
• Negative Offset Design — The wheels feature a negative offset of 0.29 inches (7.5mm), which positions the tyre outboard relative to the wheel mounting surface. This offset geometry improves scale appearance and ensures proper fitment with compatible RC4WD tyres and semi truck chassis configurations.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 0.79 ounces (22.5 grams) per wheel, these components are engineered to minimise unsprung mass whilst maintaining rigidity and durability. The lightweight design helps optimise your RC truck's handling characteristics and reduces strain on drive components.
• Precise Centre Hole Specification — The 0.19-inch (5.0mm) centre hole outer diameter ensures a perfect fit on compatible semi truck axles and hubs. This precision tolerance is critical for wobble-free operation and authentic wheel presentation during display or operation.
• Easy Cap Removal Tool Included — A dedicated tool is supplied specifically for safely removing and installing the black rounded caps without damaging the wheel finish. This thoughtful inclusion demonstrates RC4WD's attention to user experience and product completeness.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Roulette Super Single Semi Truck Rear Wheels represent a masterclass in precision engineering and materials science. Constructed from high-grade billet aluminium, these wheels offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, critical for maintaining optimal performance in scale RC semi truck applications. The CNC machining process ensures that every wheel is produced to exacting tolerances, guaranteeing perfect balance and concentricity that translates to smooth rolling characteristics and authentic presentation on your finished model. The outer diameter of 1.85 inches (47.0mm) combined with the 1.18-inch (30.0mm) width creates proportions that accurately represent genuine semi truck wheel geometry, whilst the negative offset of 7.5mm ensures correct fitment with compatible tyre and chassis combinations. The silver anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; the anodising process hardens the aluminium surface, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability that preserves the wheels' appearance through extended ownership. Each wheel weighs just 22.5 grams, contributing to overall vehicle lightness that benefits handling and reduces drivetrain stress. RC4WD has engineered these wheels to work in harmony with their proprietary Michelin X ONE XZU S 1.7-inch super single semi truck tyres, and compatibility with the Tamiya 56336 RC King Hauler confirms their suitability for one of the UK's most popular scale semi truck platforms. The precision centre hole ensures wobble-free operation, whilst the supplied black rounded caps replicate genuine semi truck aesthetics perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What semi truck models are compatible with these RC4WD Roulette wheels? — RC4WD confirms fitment with the Tamiya 56336 RC King Hauler Black Edition, one of the most popular scale RC semi trucks available in the UK. These wheels are specifically engineered for semi truck rear-axle applications and their 1.7-inch size and geometry are optimised for heavy-duty scale truck platforms.
• Are these wheels suitable for beginners building their first RC semi truck? — Absolutely. These wheels are straightforward to install and maintain, requiring only the supplied cap removal tool and compatible fasteners. The included documentation and the supplied components make them accessible to builders of all experience levels. However, you will need a compatible semi truck chassis and matching tyres, so ensure you have a complete build plan before starting.
• What tyres should I use with these Roulette wheels? — RC4WD specifically designs their Michelin X ONE XZU S 1.7-inch super single semi truck tyres (model Z-T0176) to work with these wheels. Whilst RC4WD notes that compatibility with other manufacturer tyres may be possible in some cases, they can only guarantee reliable fitment and performance when using RC4WD wheels and tyres together due to the precision of their design tolerances.
• Do I need to glue the tyres onto these wheels? — Yes, RC4WD recommends applying adhesive to secure the tyres in place on these wheels. This prevents tyre slip during operation and ensures the tyre and wheel assembly remains secure during use or display.
• How many of these wheels do I need for a complete semi truck? — These are rear wheels only. A complete semi truck requires two sets of these wheels (four wheels total) for the rear axles. You will also need to source compatible front wheels separately.
• What is the negative offset and why does it matter? — The negative offset of 0.29 inches (7.5mm) means the tyre sits outboard relative to the mounting surface. This offset is engineered into these wheels to provide proper fitment with RC4WD semi truck chassis and matching tyres, affecting both stance and appearance. The offset geometry is critical for authentic scale presentation.
• Can I use these wheels on other RC truck platforms? — These wheels are specifically engineered for semi truck rear-axle applications and their 1.7-inch size and specifications are optimised for semi truck chassis. Fitment on other RC truck platforms is not recommended, as the wheel specifications are tailored to semi truck geometry and axle configurations.
• What makes these better than other RC wheel options? — RC4WD Roulette Super Single wheels are CNC machined from billet aluminium with silver anodising, delivering superior precision and finish quality compared to cast alternatives. The negative offset geometry and specific sizing are engineered specifically for scale semi trucks. The comprehensive package includes everything you need except tyres, making them a complete solution for semi truck builders.
