1.0 8 Hole R/C Wheel

thingiverse

Human: NOTE: If the wheel ends up being scaled to 10000% in your slicer, rescale it to 2540% for the correct size. This classic 8-hole design wheel is specifically designed for micro rock crawlers and fits perfectly on RC4WD 1.0 crawler tires. It comes equipped with a 7mm hex and a 2.5mm axle hole that can be drilled out for a larger axle size if needed. The wheels feature scale lug nuts, which I have colored silver using a permanent marker for a realistic look. The design has more negative offset than the stock wheels on the ECX Barrage and Axial SCX24, as seen in the pictures provided for width reference. While tires can be glued to the wheels, I opted not to do so, as they stay securely in place without gluing. The M8 washer version of the wheel is designed to hold two M8 washers with an 18.75mm OD for added weight. To accommodate this feature, the wheels have been engineered with less offset to ensure a proper fit. The area surrounding the hex has also been widened to make it easier to glue the washers in place. Tabs are strategically placed on the inside of the wheel to help center the washers during the gluing process. UPDATE 6/22/19: I tightened the tolerances on the washer version to improve the alignment of the washers, which was found to be slightly loose after printing. UPDATE 6/22/2020: A modified "Scrambler" version of the wheel has been created, optimized specifically for RC4WD Scrambler tires.
