Tech Talk: Short course wheels explained!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
There are a lot of different short course RC wheels out there, with lots of different offsets. This video will explain what their true backspacing measurements are, which trucks they fit, and why you would want to pick one the other.

Thanks! Seems like people like the more technical videos, so I'll be doing more in the future.
Thank you for this. I'm hitting that like. Already subbed.
What a nice review my friend~!!^^👍👍
Good info brother!
Be careful using the measurement from the rear face to the hex mounting surface as that is backspacing, not offset. Offset refers to the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the hex mounting surface; a measurement that is based on knowing the exact width of the wheel and where the hex mounting surface is located relative to that. It's easy to mix the two up but they are not interchangeable.

Good point, and I should've been more careful with the term. In the beginning I briefly mention what 0-offset actually means, but unfortunately Proline went and redefined the term and confused the rest of the world. Good point about backspacing, thanks, didn't know there was a term for that so I just called it "the measurement from the inner lip to the mounting surface".
Great video!! Now i have the know how!!
Good info bro
This video is good info for wheels
Great vid. I'm building 3 SCT's to race at our new track and have been buying bulk lots of random wheels off eBay, its been a challenge trying to figure out what fits what...It will be much easier now, Thanks!
Cool video great info.. so is a 2wd slash the only sct that uses a different front wheel? Thanks
Thank you!!!
Still looking for a video of how these go together. No luck here
Good to know bud thx
The Offset is where the hub meets the outside of the rim. Not the width. 0 offset means the hub sits flush with the edge of the rim. The less the offset, the narrower the profile will be. 3mm offset will sit a total of 6 mm wider than 0 offset to the outer edge of the tire.

That's actually backspacing. Proline calls it offset, but it's the wrong term. www.discounttiredirect.com/learn/offset-backspace
Thanks for the vid but I can't find much info on the HPI jumpshot sc v2. Would you know the offset and is it the same for front and rear?
could you do one for 1/10 buggy wheels??

0 offset. Anything else and it will be extra wide

What happens if I put any of these on my rustler?
i just bought 8 old new nos imex samurai aka vrx blast riverside hobby i think look the same aluminum frame n such 4x4 non solid rear axel unit
I was looking for an explanation WHY there offset end of sentence? why not have all 4 equal whats the purpose of offsetting in the first place ? if they'd install equal A-Arms all wheels would be perfect no?

The Traxxas Slash 2WD is the only truck that doesn't use the same offset on all 4 wheels.

@@RazorRC The slash 2wd has an offset correct? if so Im asking why whats the offset for? is it help with over steer or something? Im confused, I noticed RPM sells specific A-Arms for the 2wd slash to compensate the offset so you can use all 4 matching wheels?

HKGuy Snowman#1 every Traxxas 2wd has narrower front arms compared to the back arms. Rustler, Bandit, Stampede, Slash. Why? ‘Cause they suck.
Offset: definition?
And of course there is the Senton 3s, which is marked as 3.9mm..

I didn't cover any of the other hex sizes, only 12mm. Senton 3S is 14mm, Senton 6S is 17mm, and there are other weird sizes like the Durango which uses 15mm and I think there are some 13mm trucks. ☹️

Wheels and tires do you recommend for the Senton 6s?
What I don't get about sc wheels Is the inside is miles bigger than the outside.

It was originally for knuckle clearance on the Traxxas Slayer which used a much larger knuckle from the Revo. Using a 2.2 outer diameter retains the scale look and the 3.0 inner diameter accommodates the large hubs.

Nevermind lol
Good info, but your thumb nails wtf?
OH MY FUCKING GOD, I HATE GOOGLE'S USELESS SEARCH SYSTEM! I don't GODDAMN care what the offsets are. WHY ARE SCT WHEELS SO STUPID WITH THE FAKE 2.2 THING AND THE 3.0 BARREL DIAMETER!?
The word “basically’’ ruins your entire channel
Not a single Arrma mention. Were there no Sentons made 5 years ago? I guess that might explain it, hehe.
