MONTECARLO 169 wheel covers

Montecarlo 169 Hub Caps: the professional finish your UFO wheels deserve

Sloting Plus has developed this hub cap system specifically for UFO Universal wheels, addressing six real needs that any driver or tuner knows well: aesthetics, secure fit, ease of assembly, minimal weight, variety of designs, and the possibility of customisation through painting.

Function and performance

The Montecarlo 169 hub cap covers the UFO Universal wheel cleanly and securely. Its design ensures that it will not come off during the race, eliminating one of the most common issues with conventional hub caps. At the same time, it completely dispenses with the use of glue: the assembly is mechanical, making disassembly and reuse easy without damaging either the wheel or the hub cap itself.

Weight: a factor that matters

In slot racing, every tenth of a gram counts. The Montecarlo 169 hub cap weighs only 0.052 g, lighter than any equivalent in conventional plastic. This means that adding visual detail to your wheels does not penalise the car's handling in corners or affect the balance of the wheel-tyre assembly.

Compatibility

• Designed for the UFO Universal wheels from Sloting Plus.
• Compatible with the Universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) and with any track configuration using these wheels.

Customisation and designs

One of the most valued aspects by enthusiasts is the possibility to paint them. Whether you are building a display car or preparing a slot car for club competition, you can adapt the colour of the hub cap to match your car's livery. Industry reference paints — such as those from Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido — adhere well to the surface of the hub cap, opening up a wide range of finishes.

Assembly and preparation

The assembly process is straightforward. Sloting Plus provides users with tips, tricks, and a reference video to ensure an optimal result from the first time. No special tools or adhesives are required: simply follow the procedure indicated by the brand to achieve a firm fit and a top-level visual appearance.
