3DR wheel 16.2x8mm for 2.00" axle

Precision and lightness in every millimetre: the 3DR 16.2x8 mm wheel for 2.00 mm axle

When assembling a slot car seriously, every gram and every tenth of a millimetre counts. This 3DR wheel, made from high-quality resin, adheres exactly to that philosophy: precise geometry, contained weight, and direct compatibility with 2 mm axles, the most widely used standard in club and competition setups.

Main features

• Measurements: 16.2 mm diameter × 8 mm width.
• Compatible axle: 2.00 mm.
• Material: high-quality 3D resin, balancing strength and flexibility.
• Weight: 0.43 g per unit.
• Available colours: black and white.

Function and performance

The resin used in the manufacture of these wheels offers a firm behaviour without being excessively rigid, which reduces vibrations transmitted to the chassis and favours a clean contact of the tyre with the track. The weight of 0.43 g per unit is particularly relevant in very weight-sensitive cars, where any reduction in rotating parts directly translates into acceleration response.

Compatibility and assembly

Specifically designed for 2.00 mm axles, they fit snugly without play or forcing into that standard diameter. Before assembly, it is advisable to check the concentricity of the wheel with a dial gauge or a simple manual spin on the axle, to rule out any deviation that could generate vibration at high speeds. If you are going to glue the tyre, a small amount of contact adhesive or cyanoacrylate on the rim is sufficient.

Ideal for…

• Builders looking to reduce unsprung weight in the rear end.
• Club racers needing reliable and reproducible spare parts for their regular builds.
• Enthusiasts building or restoring chassis who want a uniform wheel in size and finish.

Considerations

As this is a 3D resin wheel, it is advisable to inspect it before assembly for any possible imperfections inherent to the additive manufacturing process. The availability in two colours (black and white) allows differentiation between front and rear wheels or simply adapting the aesthetics to the overall look of the car.

Frequently asked questions

What axle diameter is this wheel compatible with?

It is designed exclusively for 2.00 mm axles, which is the most common standard diameter in club and competition slot car setups.

How much does each wheel weigh?

Each unit weighs 0.43 g, making it a very lightweight option for those looking to minimise rotational inertia.

What colours is it available in?

It is available in black and white. Please check the specification of each reference to confirm the colour available at the time of your order.

Can I use this wheel on both the front and rear axles?

Yes, the measurements 16.2x8 mm allow for use on both axles, provided the axle diameter is 2.00 mm and the 8 mm width fits within the available space on the chassis.

What tyre is compatible with this wheel?

The information provided does not specify particular tyres. We recommend consulting with our team to confirm the most suitable combination based on the chassis and the track where you will be competing.

The 3DR 16.2x8mm slot car wheel for 2.00mm axle is manufactured in high-quality 3D resin, offering an outstanding balance of strength and flexibility at just 0.43 g per unit. Available in black and white, it is compatible with the standard 2mm axle widely used in club racing and competition slot car setups. A reliable choice for builders and racers looking for consistent geometry and reduced rotational mass in their slot car builds.
