Wheel 17.3x8.2x1.5mm 3D x2

Slot.it 3D Wheels: millimetric precision for those who leave nothing to chance

The reference SIW173082153D corresponds to the wheels with 17.3 mm outer diameter, 8.2 mm width, and 1.5 mm offset, manufactured by Slot.it using 3D printing technology. They are supplied in a pack of 2 units. They are the base component on which to mount the appropriate tyre to adjust the car's behaviour on track.

Features and function

• Exact measurements: 17.3 mm diameter × 8.2 mm width × 1.5 mm offset. Every tenth counts when seeking the perfect balance between grip and friction.
• 3D manufacturing: the 3D printing technology allows Slot.it to achieve precise and repeatable geometries, ensuring uniformity between the two wheels in the pack.
• Pack of 2 units: sufficient to equip a complete axle, whether front or rear.
• Slot.it brand: leading Italian manufacturer in the competition segment, with decades of experience in the development of high-performance spare parts and slot cars.

Compatibility and assembly

These wheels are designed for the Slot.it spare parts ecosystem and are compatible with their corresponding axles and tyres. As they belong to the Sport rail — the standard of Slot.it and Scaleauto — they fit perfectly on circuits of this type. Always check that the inner diameter of the wheel matches the axle you are using and that the chosen tyre corresponds to the outer measurements of this wheel before assembly.

Preparation and setup

The 1.5 mm offset directly influences the lateral position of the wheel-tyre assembly relative to the chassis. Adjusting the offset is one of the most valued variables in technical preparation: it can modify the tyre footprint, behaviour in tight corners, and response to direction changes. Combine these wheels with different tyre hardnesses to fine-tune the setup according to the layout.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers seeking uniformity between the two wheels of the same axle.
• Preparers working with Slot.it chassis who want to maintain the brand's standard throughout the mechanics.
• Enthusiasts experimenting with different combinations of tyre and wheel to find the optimal grip point.

Aspects to consider

Always check the inner diameter before purchase to ensure it fits your axle. Slot.it 3D wheels may have a slight surface texture due to the manufacturing process; this does not affect functional performance or compatibility with the tyre.

Frequently asked questions

How many wheels are included in the pack?

The pack contains 2 units, just enough to equip a complete axle of the car.

What does the 1.5 mm offset mean?

The offset indicates the lateral displacement of the wheel relative to the reference plane of the axle. A 1.5 mm offset affects the position of the wheel and, therefore, the tyre footprint and behaviour in corners.

Are they compatible with Scalextric or Ninco track?

These wheels are part of the Slot.it ecosystem, designed for Sport track (Slot.it, Scaleauto). They can be mounted on cars running on any type of track, as the wheel does not interact directly with the track; what you must verify is that the axle and chassis are compatible with the measurements of this wheel.

What tyre should I use with this wheel?

You should choose a tyre whose inner diameter and width are compatible with the measurements of this wheel (17.3 mm outer diameter and 8.2 mm width). Consult the Slot.it tyre catalogue to find the appropriate reference.

Does 3D manufacturing affect the wheel's durability?

Slot.it uses 3D technology to achieve dimensional precision, not as a substitute for conventional materials. For regular use on club tracks, the performance is completely adequate.

Slot.it 3D wheels reference SIW173082153D — 17.3×8.2×1.5mm, pack of 2 units. Precision-engineered for Sport track slot car racing. Compatible with Slot.it axles and tyre range. Essential upgrade for club racers and serious hobbyists looking for consistent wheel geometry and reliable offset adjustment.
