Rc Car tyre - 1:8 scale with 12mm Hex

cults3d

By now, I've only tested the rim and it seems to fit well on a VRX Short Course 1:10. In my next update, I'll enlarge the hex about 0.2 mm and the hole about 1mm. After this almost successful printing, I decided to attempt designing the on-road tire (I hope Ninjaflex could be a good compound). This project was born from the desire to install on-road tires at 1:8 scale on a short course 1:10 that has similar dimensions to rally cars at 1:8. Not being easy to find suitable rims and having failed the attempt to use an adapter from 17mm to 12mm, I decided to take on this challenge. For now, I've printed and tested only the rim, which seems to adapt well to the VRX short course 1:10, a modification that needs to be made is enlarging the hex by 0.2mm and the hole of the axle by 1mm. This almost successful print has driven me to try to approach also the design of the tire, hoping that printing it in Ninjaflex can represent an adapted material for the type of work it must perform.
