Function and Performance
This wheel is designed to mount directly onto 2.40 mm axles, a very common size in prepared slot cars and in 1/32 scale references. A correct fit to the axle is essential to avoid vibrations and ensure a clean transmission of movement, so it is advisable to always check that the vehicle's axle corresponds with this specification before installation.
The chrome finish is not just aesthetic: in scale, it faithfully reproduces the appearance of a Momo racing wheel, something that detail enthusiasts and exhibition car builders particularly appreciate.
Installation and Preparation
For optimal installation, we recommend checking the centring of the wheel once installed on the axle. A slight imbalance can translate into vibration at high speeds. If the tyre is to be glued, apply a minimal amount of adhesive and allow it to cure properly before remounting the wheel on the car.
The compatible tyres (refs. Cartrix 1120 to 1126) are designed to fit correctly on this wheel, ensuring that the combination is guaranteed within the brand's own catalogue.
