BBS 162 Hub Caps from Sloting Plus: Visual Detail and Functionality Without Compromise for Your UFO Universal Wheel

Sloting Plus has developed this hub cap system with enthusiasts in mind who do not want to compromise on aesthetics or performance. The BBS 162 Hub Caps (ref. SP029906) are specifically designed for the UFO -UNIVERSAL- wheel of Ø16.2 mm and represent a technical and visual solution far superior to conventional plastic hub caps.

Function and Performance

The main objective of this hub cap is to ensure that the wheels always look impeccable on track, without adding unnecessary ballast or complicating assembly. With a thickness of 0.10 mm and a weight of just 0.052 g per unit, their impact on the car's dynamic behaviour is practically negligible. This is a real advantage over plastic hub caps, which tend to weigh more for the same function.

The fastening design is resolved so that the hub cap does not come off during the race, eliminating the need to use any type of glue. This facilitates both assembly and disassembly in case you want to change the design or paint the hub cap another colour.

Compatibility

• Designed for UFO -UNIVERSAL- wheel of Ø16.2 mm.
• Compatible with 1/32 scale slot cars that use this type of Sloting Plus wheel.

Assembly and Preparation

The fitting system is straightforward, but Sloting Plus recommends consulting the official assembly tips and tricks and watching the installation video before proceeding. Proper assembly ensures that the hub cap is perfectly secured without the need for adhesives and with a clean, professional visual result.

Once assembled, the hub caps are paintable, allowing you to customise them with the colours of your livery or team using paints such as Vallejo or Tamiya, adapting them to any decoration.
