Front ergal wheel

Front ergal wheel: lightweight aluminium for those seeking every tenth on the track

The MB-19006 front ergal wheel is designed for a 3/32 axle and made from high-strength, low-weight aluminium. In the world of competitive slot racing, reducing unsprung mass on the front axle directly influences steering response and cornering stability. This wheel focuses on that: premium material, minimal weight.

Main features

• Material: ergal aluminium, lightweight and durable.
• Axle diameter: 3/32.
• Fixing: exclusively by gluing (does not have anchoring screws).

Compatibility and installation

This wheel can only be used with the MB19092 axle or with plastic or carbon half-axles. The absence of anchoring screws is an important detail to consider before installation: the assembly is carried out entirely with adhesive. Once properly glued, the bond is solid and does not present issues of play or vibration.

If your current setup uses a conventional steel axle with screw fixing, this wheel is not the appropriate choice. Check your axle before ordering.

Installation and preparation

For optimal results, clean the surface of the axle thoroughly before applying the adhesive. A homogeneous and centred bond ensures that the wheel rotates without runout (eccentricity), resulting in uniform tyre contact and more predictable behaviour on the track. Use a specific adhesive for metals or the one recommended by the axle manufacturer.

Ideal for…

Preparers and club drivers working with 3/32 axle configurations who want to reduce weight on the front end without sacrificing the rigidity of aluminium. Also for those already using plastic or carbon half-axles and looking for a wheel that aligns with that lightweight construction philosophy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this wheel with any 3/32 axle?

No. It is only compatible with the MB19092 axle or with plastic or carbon half-axles. It is not designed for steel axles with screw fixing, as it lacks an anchoring hole.

How is it fixed if it has no screw?

By gluing. It is essential to use an appropriate adhesive and ensure that the wheel is perfectly centred before the adhesive cures, to avoid any eccentricity in the rotation.

What advantage does ergal aluminium offer over other materials?

Ergal (7075 aluminium alloy) combines notable mechanical strength with very low weight. On the front axle, where traction is not transmitted, reducing mass improves response and decreases rotational inertia.

Is it compatible with standard 3/32 tyres?

The wheel is sized for a 3/32 axle, but compatibility with a specific tyre depends on the outer diameter and width of the wheel. Please check the specific dimensions with us before combining it with your usual tyre.

The MB-19006 front ergal wheel is a lightweight aluminium front rim designed for 3/32 axle configurations in slot car racing. Compatible exclusively with the MB19092 axle or plastic/carbon half-axles, it offers a glued-only fitting without set screws. Ideal for club racers and chassis builders looking to reduce unsprung front weight and improve handling precision on the track.
