The most detailed and scale wheel available for your Short Course RC truck.

Named after a rugged valley section of the prestigious Baja 500 and 1000 desert races, DE Racing brings you the Trinidad SC wheel, what they claim is the most detailed and scale wheel available for your Short Course RC truck. From the bead lock bolts and lug nuts to the seamless integration for our optional Hub Nutz, one look and you’ll agree that these wheels form a package that is pure eye candy. Manufactured in the U.S.A. from the finest possible materials and utilizing an advanced ribbing design, these wheels offer strength and durability while still remaining lightweight. Intended for the highest levels of competition they also feature ROAR legal widths and glue bead diameters, a one piece design, and are available in factory offsets for several models. Also available in a 17mm hex version with the offset found on 1/8 scale buggy wheels and is intended for use with the adapters that many drivers have on their SC trucks. The scale realism of DE Racing SC wheels is enhanced even further when combined with their new Hub Nutz. Modeled after the floater hubs found on full scale short course and trophy trucks, they offer a finished look not previously found in RC. Made by over molding a steel nut with nylon, Hub Nutz mix the strength of steel with the holding power of nylon to create a fastener that a standard lock nut can’t match. They are sold in sets for several different models and include 4 nuts and an adapter tool.
AKA have announced the release of the Cityblock SC and Gridiron SC tires designed specifically for the 1/10 short course trucks. Made to fit the stock wheels from all the popular short course trucks, they feature a 2.2”/3” bead design and an inner carcass design made to perfectly fit the industry standard AKA closed cell foams. The result is a much more controlled outer sidewall for more consistent handling and tread wear. The Cityblock pattern is their best selling tread pattern and will be the most versatile SC tire available, while the Gridiron is suited to high bite blue grooved tracks with little dust where a short pin is a must to keep the truck consistent. AKA have also released the Cyclone SC wheel that fit all standard 2.2″/3″ short course tires and are compatible with Associated, HPI, Jammin, Kyosho and Traxxas trucks. All wheels are made from the same proprietary nylon blend as the the 1:8 AKA wheels and will be released in black and come two to a bag. Expect September releases for all products.
