RMR 959 wheels for 52mm tyres

Wheel set for the popular 959 build on M chassis cars.

Used in conjunction with our 959 body These wheels give a nice full wheel arch look. Similar to the limited edition  PROJECT959 

These look fantastic on an MF-01x Build but unfortunately they're not ideal on the XM-01 chassis due to the tub chassis clearance reducing turning radius of any tyre over the standard M chassis diameter.

To further enhance the classic feel to you build. Paint the outer rim of the wheel with a flat black paint to give the impression of a high side-wall tyre.


Characteristics:
The single piece wheel rims are 3D printed in an industrial white resin and suitable for standard 52mm tyres. 

OR! Our custom 'Rally Gripper' tyres. A slightly smaller outside diameter than the Tamiya tyres and slightly narrower than the standard Tamiya 26mm, they look full classic rally :)

FAQ:

How strong are these wheels?

From tests, they're pretty strong. They're not designed so thin that they would collapse with driving. However, they will shatter on impact with hard immovable object though. Tests have shown they do run well and are useable when driven carefully. If your model is to sit on a shelf, no issue at all of course. :) 

Surface finish?

The surface finish is pretty smooth but you might prefer to sand them slightly with a fine grit paper.
Recommended is Tamiya primer and either TS or PS paints to finish.
