CBD0027 CB Design 5-Spoke Racing Wheels 15x13mm (Silver) 1:32 Slot Car Part

Brand New/Never Used/Original Packaging

C.B. Design 5-Spoke Classic 15x11mm Wheels (Silver) are high-performance CNC machined aluminum wheels designed for a variety of 1:32 slot car applications.

Package contains one (1) pair of wheels.

For best performance, we recommend:

• Quick Slicks high-performance silicone racing tires
• Slot.it 3/32" solid axles

The C.B. Design 15x13mm 5-Spoke Racing Wheel shares all of the great features of other C.B. Design Wheels plus several new features based on requests and feedback from experienced 1:32 racers.  These include:

• Widest 1:32 C.B. Design Wheel currently offered
• Double Center Rib design reduces wheel weight while increasing the wheel's surface area where it meets the tire by up to 15%.  The increased surface area is important to racers who (optionally) glue tires to wheels for optimum performance.
• When using a spur gear, the spur gear’s hub increases the overall rear track width.  This effectively limits your options for wheel/tire combinations that will fit under the body.  Traditional 1:32 wheel designs (with hubs or hubless) do not take this into consideration).
• C.B. Design's innovative Hidden Hub design gives racers more flexibility when trying to fit the a wider wheel/tire combination under a car. The C.B. Design Hidden Hub design gives racers the ability to nest the spur gear's hub inside the wheel freeing up about 1mm of space for the wheel/tire.

Tires

High-performance wheels require high-performance tires.  C.B. Design worked closely with Quick Slicks and Paul Gage Tires to ensure high-performance tires would be available for these wheels.

***Please Note*** 

C.B. Design Wheels are designed to minimize "slop" caused when wheels fit loosely on an axle.  Because of slight variations in axle diameters and the wheel's axle bore (i.d.), C.B. Design Wheels may not slide onto a given axle like other manufacturer's wheels.  Here are some tips to achieve the best results:

• ALWAYS use a brand new axle.  For best results, we recommend Slot.it axles.
• Try another axle
• SLOWLY twist the wheel onto the axle.  NEVER force the wheel if it is too tight!
• Enlarge the i.d. of the wheel SLIGHTLY using a hand held reamer. Test fit frequently until the desired fit is achieved.
• Using a fine grit sandpaper, wet sand the end of the axle.  Test fit frequently until the desired fit is achieved.
