A979 Complete wheels: Tires and Rims

thingiverse

03/06/2020 - Updated Rim size is a game-changer. 11/06/2020 - Tested with 85a shore TPU (black tires), and the results are impressive: printed with no issues, and a much better grip. I've designed flexible tires for this car that outperform any others I've seen. Every detail has been carefully considered, ensuring that the tires don't need to be printed with support from your slicer. In fact, I've added support features that save material, time, and improve end quality - making them easy to remove if needed. Another great advantage is that you don't need to glue them to the rims. I've designed a perfect fit, complete with little gaps/pins on both sides, so all you have to do is match them together when assembling. While driving your car, they will engage together if they slip - no worries! It's essential to note that rotating the rims 180º before printing ensures the hex nut base faces down and adds just a bit of support with your slicer. Since these tires are almost identical in size to the originals, they should fit on original rims as well. However, I recommend printing the ones I designed alongside the 12mm hex. If you're interested in printing the Rim, I've uploaded two different types: A_979_Rim.stl - This one is approximately the same size and width as the original WLtoys Rims. It's what I actually use. A_979_Rim_wide.stl - This new design increases the width by about 0.6mm, making your car 1.2 cm wider for added stability (not tested yet). I used Shore 88A TPU to print them, which performs amazingly well in concrete soil or asphalt, feeling like driving on a wet floor. You'll have a blast skipping! And they excel in any off-road terrain. Riding your RC Car is enjoyable, but nothing beats the thrill of riding with your own 3D printed rims and tires!
