PRO Plastic Wheel 17x10x0.5mm Black 0.85g. (New SIW17310005P)

The Slot.it PRO wheel: precision and lightness in every millimetre

Slot.it is an undisputed reference in the world of competitive slot racing, and its range of PRO spare parts demonstrates this with every piece. This black plastic wheel, with dimensions 17x10x0.5mm and a weight of 0.85gr, is designed for those seeking maximum control over the balance and geometry of their 1/32 scale slot cars.

Function and performance

The wheel is one of the most influential components in the behaviour of a slot car. Its diameter, width, and weight directly affect rotational inertia, traction, and cornering response. With a 17mm diameter and 10mm width, this Slot.it PRO wheel fits into common competition configurations, allowing precise adjustment of body height and camber angle.

The plastic material, combined with a flange thickness of 0.5mm, ensures a uniform base for tyre mounting, preventing deformations that could introduce vibrations or imbalances during rolling. The weight of 0.85gr per unit helps keep unsprung masses to a minimum, a key factor on Sport track systems where immediate response makes a difference.

Compatibility and mounting

This wheel is part of the Slot.it PRO spare parts ecosystem, designed to integrate with the brand's axles, tyres, and chassis. It is important to verify compatibility with the car model and axle type before mounting. Slot.it periodically updates its references: this wheel is now marketed under the code SIW17310005P, replacing the previous reference SIWH1179PL.

Mounting and preparation

To get the most out of this wheel, we recommend:

• Mounting the tyre using a pressing tool to ensure a uniform fit.
• Checking the concentricity on the axle before permanently securing the wheel.
• If you seek a more precise fit, grinding the tyre once mounted ensures a perfectly uniform rolling diameter.
• Verifying that the total width of the wheel-tyre assembly does not exceed the tolerances of your championship regulations.

Common mistakes

A common mistake is mounting the tyre without properly seating the wheel on the axle, which creates eccentricities that result in oscillations at high speed. It is also advisable to avoid excessive use of adhesives, which can unbalance the piece and alter the final weight of the wheel-tyre assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between reference SIWH1179PL and SIW17310005P?

They are the same wheel. Slot.it has updated its reference system and the new coding is SIW17310005P. The product is identical in dimensions, material, and performance.

Which Slot.it tyres is this wheel compatible with?

With a diameter of 17mm and a width of 10mm, it is compatible with the tyres from the Slot.it PRO range designed for those measurements. Consult the Slot.it tyre catalogue to find the appropriate profile for your application.

Can this wheel be used on Scalextric or Ninco tracks?

The wheel itself is independent of the track system. What determines compatibility with the rail is the guide and the total width of the car. This wheel is used on 1/32 slot cars that can run on any rail system, including Scalextric and Ninco.

How many units are included in the package?

The information provided by the manufacturer does not specify the number of units per blister. We recommend checking the updated product sheet or contacting us to confirm.

Is it suitable for club competition?

Yes. The Slot.it PRO range is specifically aimed at competitive use. Its lightness and dimensional precision make it suitable for serious preparation builds, both in club championships and high-performance use.
