Hot Racing 2.2 stamped steel wheels question

[BigSki]

Anyone using these yet?

Both styles are available in black, white or raw finish.

I like the black 8 round hole style myself, they look a lot like the new ones from rc3wd but without the hideous 'Mickey Thompson' stamped across the face of the wheel. I can only find 1 distributor which is ' Hobby Ect.' I called them w/ questions, they had no answers... We all know there's no way to contact Hot Racing themselves. I'd like to buy the wheels, I'd just rather to be able to talk with someone that already has a set before I order.

:mrgreen:

The width is definitely something I have a question about, the other is the offset. In one of the pics on hobby ect. you get a so-so pic of the hex drive, which looks pretty thick as well. HR has 2 machined 2.2 wheels that accept VP hubs, so I'm also wondering if the same is true of the stamped wheels.

With the amount of $$ required to make the deep draw dies to make wheels like this, I can't imagine that 2 different companies would make similar products independently of each other, which makes me wonder if there's just a single main supplier. It would be nice to be able to contact the manufacturer and get some tech specs.

Did you email help@hot-racing.com?

You could also try contacting liquid rc since they are a major distributor for hot-racing. Contact Us : LiquidRC.com , No Bull world wide shipping

You could also contact mr-retro on eBay who is the seller for liquid rc. eBay My World - mr-retro

The 1.9s are 18mm wide (.708 inch) So, if the same goes for the 2.2s, they should be a pretty narrow scale sized wheel.

I didn't bother with their help@.... they have never answered me in the past.

Liquid RC is the on-line retail side of hobby ect.com , I called them this morning.

mr-retro might be an option I didn't know of. "thumbsup"

Sorry I have no constructive info. Just another guy curious about these wheels as well, awaiting updates.

The 6 lug rc3wd wheels are my favorite, and with the UGC spacers they make an awesome combo. Options are good

 

[rockhugger]

these are sweet, another good option as I really like the pro10's

Hot Racing Axial SCX-10 Scale Truck RC Car upgrades and Hop-ups

it syas pin axle not hex so I'm in agreement that there is one mastermind behind the dies and press :lmao:

Yes, I like those 1.9's a lot!

 

[rockhugger]

oops I'm an idiot, I have no other excuse for posting the 1.9's other than being overly excited. My bad :roll:

I'm running the white ones. What would you like to know?
Here are some pics I took before mounting them.

 

[Meatwad]

Which tires are you using and how's the bead holding?

Here's another good option for a stamped wheel:

One of our own vendors. They are CHEAP too. "thumbsup"

I'm running Mickey Thompson TTC Baja Claws. The bead is holding great. I have pulled on them an it say put.

Those look good Kramer! They hold the bead well?

 

[kramerrc2]

Very well. I put them thru hell!! I would just recommend putting 2 holes in the center section.
I work 10 minutes from hobby etc. So I pick up a lot of the HR products and have always been impressed

To clarify, for venting or some other reason?

Thanks so much for offering!!

I'd like to know: how wide are they? ( lip to lip) How wide is the center section? How wide is the hub? What is offset ( or back spacing from the drive hex to the lip of the rear side of the wheel)?

I like how they look on the Wraith. Could you get a close up pic of the front wheel? I'd like to see how "deep" the wheels sit on the axle and how close the knuckles are to the wheel.
