R/C Tech Forums - 1/12 forum

I think most top racers prefer white wheels from a visibility standpoint. The only pro I know that likes black wheels is Matt Francis.

Jack will have to let us know for sure but I bet the change from Gray to White wheels from Jaco was due to racer requests.

Adrian maybe start a pole and see what gets voted on for fun.

I like white rims over black ones, it's easier to see if there's something wrong with them or how they are "working".
But since I race with a Corally (1/12th) I don't have a choice. :sweat:

When we came out with gray rims everyone LOVED them. However, no one BOUGHT them. Big difference! White is good for visibility and the more colors you offer, the more issues you have keeping up with inventory.

I've been told that Hudy will soon be offering a fully automatic wheel balancer/rim truer that will be fully compatible with Jack's new spinners, as well as Ernie's new 12th scale Dayton Wire Wheels. :tire: :D :tire:
