A crucial component of the drivetrain system in remote-controlled models, the 3Racing Wheel Adaptor (4mm) - Thick, enables stable and precise wheel mounting. This adapter, commonly referred to as a "hex" or "wheel hub," is designed for use in 1/10 scale RC models that utilize standard wheels with 12mm hex mounts.
Main Application and Functionality
3Racing Wheel Adaptor (4mm) - Thick adapters effectively connect drive axles to wheels. They are essential in setups where the axle shaft diameter is 4mm and wheel mounting requires a standard 12mm hex. Their robust construction, designated as "Thick," translates to increased durability and mounting stability, which is crucial in dynamic model operating conditions. They ensure reliable power transfer from the drivetrain to the wheels, minimizing the risk of play and deformation.
Technical Features and Construction
Standard 12mm Hex Size: Ensures broad compatibility with most wheels available for 1/10 scale RC models, including on-road, drift cars, and some buggies. This is a widely adopted standard in RC modeling.
4mm Axle Compatibility: The adapter is precisely fitted for 4mm diameter axle shafts, ensuring a secure and play-free mounting. Such precision is crucial for model stability and performance.
Reinforced "Thick" Construction: The "Thick" designation suggests increased material thickness or reinforced construction, which enhances resistance to deformation and damage, especially under high torque loads. This can also subtly increase the track width, improving model stability during cornering.
Material: Typically crafted from high-quality aluminum or brass alloys, ensuring an optimal balance between low weight and high strength. This material is resistant to corrosion and wear, extending the component's lifespan in demanding operating conditions.
Compatibility with Modeling Components
This product is designed for a wide range of 1/10 scale RC models that utilize 4mm axle shafts and require 12mm hex wheel mounting. It's ideal for tuning and upgrading drivetrain systems, providing a solid and reliable connection between the power components and the wheels. It fits chassis from various manufacturers, provided they meet the dimensional criteria for the axle shaft and wheel mount standard, making it a universal component in any RC modeler's arsenal.
