Wheels

Mini-z bodies comes with wheels. However, there are cases where you need to get replacement wheels. Cases where extra wheels are needed are: 1. Using AWD bodies on 2WD chassis. AWD wheels don't fit 2WD chassis. 2. Cars like Porsche 934, Lamborghini LP400, Lotus Europa comes with smaller diameter classic wheels that will not work with racing tires. There are no racing compound classic tires available. The only other option is to double up two racing tires to make the tires thicker. 3. Different width wheel off-sets are also used to change handling characteristics. Wider rear width cause understeer and wider front width increase oversteer.

Kyosho have many wheel styles to choose from. To figure out what wheels you need, first, determine wheel offsets available from bottom of this page:

Wheels web page

Then look up in Kyosho Shopatron to see if they are available in the US. Kyosho US stock many of the wheels. Then you can order from Kyosho or from local hobby store.

Easier solution:

You can always go with Atomic dish wheels. They come in 0,1,2 and 3 mm offset in black, white and chrome.

For more style, I prefere PN racing wheels. The classic racing look goes well with almost all bodies. They also come in 0,1,2 and 3 mm offset in black, white and chrome.

If money is no object, you can custom order a TaGu wheel. They are made from machined aluminum. They are straighter than plastic wheels, but heavier. Cost $18-$44.

If you must have aluminum wheels, and don't want to spend a fortune, the best way is to use PN racing machined aluminum wheels. They come in various offset at around $12 a pair. You can have a custom wheel at low cost.

Most stock wheels come in offset in 1 mm increment. To get finer .5mm adjustment, you can use spacers like the ones PN racing sells, or use 2mm wide bearing instead of the standard 2.5mm wide bearings. Tower Hobbies sell Duratrax 2mm (2x6x2 bearing) bearings for around $5.00 with $4.00 shipping. The 2mm wide bearing placed on the inside of the wheel will effectively reduce the offset by .5mm. However, you may have to clearance the wheel to avoid hitting the knuckle.

Rim Tape:

Before putting on a racing tire, make sure you use either Atomic or PN racing rim tape. PN racing tape comes in a roll, and give you much more tape. Atomic comes precut. For best performance, allow adhesive to dry overnight before running the wheel. Also, by pushing the tire to the back of the rim and allow some rim to stick beyond the tire will prevent tires from coming off when you hit the wall. For even more security, use super glue on top of the tape. Don't glue the tire to the rim, or you won't be able to get them off again.
