3D wheel 15.8x8.2x1.5mm x2

Slot.it 3D Wheels for 1/32: Precision to the Millimetre on Every Lap

Within the Slot.it 3D spare parts catalogue, these wheels with a diameter of 15.8 mm, width of 8.2 mm, and offset of 1.5 mm represent one of the most meticulously crafted components from the Italian brand. Manufactured with the usual demands of Slot.it, they are designed for those who approach the tuning of their car with rigor, knowing that every tenth of a millimetre in the rolling chassis has a direct impact on track performance.

Function and Performance

The wheel is the connection point between the tyre and the axle, and its geometry directly influences power transmission, lateral balance, and cornering stability. The 1.5 mm offset determines the overall width of the rolling chassis and, therefore, the dynamic behaviour of the car. Using the appropriate measurements for your setup prevents vibrations, uneven tyre wear, and traction loss.

The pack includes 2 units, sufficient to equip a complete axle.

Compatibility and Installation

These wheels are part of Slot.it's 1/32 scale spare parts system and are designed to be mounted on the axles and chassis of the brand itself. Before installation, it is advisable to check that the inner diameter of the hub fits the car's axle and that the chosen offset is correct for the track width you are aiming for. Slot.it offers different offset values in its catalogue, so it is recommended to compare with the original measurements of the vehicle you are preparing.

Installation and Preparation

• Ensure the axle is clean and free of burrs before inserting the wheel.
• Check the fit of the tyre on the wheel: a firm and centred fit is key to avoiding imbalances.
• If mounting silicone or urethane tyres, ensure that the outer diameter of the wheel is compatible with the inner diameter of the selected tyre.
• In competition, it is common to lightly turn the tyre once mounted to ensure perfect concentricity.

Common Mistakes

• Confusing the width of the wheel with the width of the tyre: these are different measurements.
• Not verifying the offset before purchasing: an incorrect value can cause the tyre to rub against the body or be too retracted.
• Installing the wheel with the axle misaligned, resulting in vibration and asymmetric wear.

Ideal for…

Tuners and club competitors working with Slot.it cars in 1/32 scale who seek to maintain their rolling chassis in perfect condition or adjust the car's geometry to suit different circuits. They are also useful for those restoring or customizing setups and needing to replace components with the original factory measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these wheels compatible with cars from other brands?

They are designed for the Slot.it system in 1/32 scale. Compatibility with other brands depends on the axle and hub diameter. It is advisable to check the measurements before mounting on chassis from different brands.

What does the value 1.5 mm in the measurements mean?

The third value (1.5 mm) corresponds to the offset, which is the lateral displacement of the wheel plane relative to the reference plane of the axle. This parameter defines the track width of the car and has a direct influence on its stability and cornering behaviour.

Does the pack include tyres?

No. The pack contains only the 2 wheels. Tyres are purchased separately from the Slot.it 1/32 spare parts catalogue.

Can I use these wheels on both Sport track and other systems?

The wheels themselves are a component of the car and do not depend on the type of track. What matters is that the car you mount them on is compatible with the track you are using. Slot.it typically works with Sport track, which is also shared by Scaleauto.

Do I need special tools for installation?

For precise installation, it is advisable to use a wheel puller and a pressing tool to avoid damaging the axle or hub. In competition setups, a dentist lathe or similar can ensure the concentricity of the wheel-tyre assembly once mounted.
