Braid type wheels silver x2

Competition Wheels Braid Silver: Precision and Performance in Every Curve

The Braid Silver wheels (ref. SRCRM0606) from SRC are a component specifically designed for slot car competition. Their construction and geometry are intended to provide maximum contact and stability with the tyre, reducing vibrations and improving power transfer to the track surface. The pack includes 2 wheels, everything needed to complete the rear axle of your car.

Technical Specifications

• Quantity: 2 Braid Silver wheels
• Outer diameter: 15.85 mm
• Total width: 8.40 mm
• Tread section: 5.25 mm
• Axle inner diameter: 2.38 mm
• Shoulder: 1.0 mm
• Included accessories: 8 grub screws 2.5 x 2.5 mm and 1 allen key

Function and Performance

The Braid design —inspired by real motorsport competition wheels— allows for a firm seating of the tyre thanks to the 1.0 mm shoulder and the 5.25 mm tread section. This translates into greater uniformity in the contact of the rubber with the track, less deformation under load, and a more predictable response in braking and acceleration.

The 2.38 mm inner diameter refers to the standard fit for common competition axles in the slot racing preparation world. The included M2.5 grub screws allow for secure and adjustable fastening, facilitating tuning between heats without the need for additional tools beyond the included allen key.

Assembly and Preparation

Assembly is straightforward: insert the wheel onto the axle, adjust the correct position relative to the chassis, and tighten the grub screws with the included allen key. Before mounting the tyre, it is advisable to check the centring of the wheel with an eccentricity gauge to ensure maximum concentricity. A light sanding of the tread after mounting the tyre helps to guarantee perfect circularity and optimise grip from the first lap.

Check the tightness of the grub screws after the first laps, as vibration may slightly loosen them in the initial minutes of use.

Ideal for…

This type of wheel is aimed at club racers and competitors looking for a reliable and measured component for their preparation builds. Its geometry and dimensions make them particularly interesting for configurations where control of the total wheel-tyre diameter is critical to comply with championship regulations or to fine-tune the gear ratio alongside the crown gear and pinion.
