Front truck wheel

Lightweight on the Front Axle: Aluminium Wheel for Fly Trucks

The reference MB-19010 is the front aluminium wheel specifically designed for trucks from the brand Fly. Its aluminium construction makes it notably lightweight, reducing unsprung mass on the front end and favouring a more direct response when cornering.

Main Features

• Material: machined aluminium, lightweight and durable.
• Position: front axle.
• Compatible axle diameter: 3/32" (2.38 mm).
• Model compatibility: Fly trucks.

Function and Performance

In slot trucks, the front axle primarily serves a guiding and stabilising function. Reducing its weight with an aluminium wheel helps the assembly roll with less inertia, improving response during direction changes and reducing vibrations that can affect the guide.

Aluminium, compared to heavier materials, also allows for a more precise finish in machining, resulting in superior concentricity and a more uniform rotation. This is especially noticeable on tracks with fast curves where any front imbalance is immediately felt.

Compatibility and Installation

This wheel is designed to fit a standard axle of 3/32" (2.38 mm), the most common diameter in Fly competition trucks. Before installation, it is advisable to ensure that the axle is free of burrs and perfectly centred in the chassis to maximise the precision of the part.

Ideal for…

Enthusiasts and tuners looking to reduce weight on the front end of their Fly trucks, whether for club competition or to improve the overall behaviour of the model on track. It is also the right part to replace worn wheels and restore the truck's original geometry.

Common Mistakes

• Fitting the wheel on an axle with a different measurement than 3/32": this will create play or make adjustment impossible.
• Not checking the alignment of the axle before installation, which can cause eccentric rotation even if the wheel is perfect.
• Confusing this reference (front) with the rear wheel: both may have different dimensions depending on the truck model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this wheel only for Fly trucks or is it compatible with other brands?

According to the provided information, it is specifically designed for Fly trucks. Compatibility with other manufacturers will depend on whether they use the same axle diameter (3/32" / 2.38 mm) and an equivalent wheel diameter. We recommend verifying this before installing it on a model from another brand.

Is it sold individually or in pairs?

The listing corresponds to a single wheel. If you need to equip both sides of the front axle, you will need to purchase the necessary quantity.

Do I need any special tools to install it?

Installation on a 3/32" axle is straightforward and does not require specialised tools, although it is advisable to have a wheel puller or a soft pressing tool to avoid damaging the axle or the wheel during adjustment.

What tyre should I use with this wheel?

It depends on the Fly truck model and the specific dimensions of the wheel. Check Fly's spare parts catalogue or ask us directly to ensure you choose the tyre with the correct inner diameter.

Does the aluminium require any special maintenance?

No specific maintenance is required. Just keep it clean from dirt and grease that could affect the tyre grip or the balance of the rotation.
