Darkside Motorsports Oval Set-up Wheels

Darkside Motorsports have announced that they are selling their 1/10th scale Oval Setup wheels, which like the Team Tamale wheels, offer the option of adjusting the virtual tire diameter by rotating the Octagonal wheel to the specified measurement.

They simulate eight different tire diameters from 2.31″ to 2.10″.Â Use these wheels to measure and adjust chassis ride height, track width, wheel offsets and stagger.Â When matched with a set of tweak scales, weight distribution can also be simulated and slight changes can be modeled with ease.Â The wheels are matched such that wheelbase dimensions can also be easily measured.Â Simply put, they provide a foundation for repeatable measurements and set-ups.Â Each set comes with 2 front wheels, 2 rear wheels and a re-usable storage case.
