Our all new AWD Flat Dish wheel is our first foray into the
segment. We wanted to capture the success of our 2WD Speed Dish and
apply what we have learned since their release in order to increase
performance, reliability and affordability to your AWD wheels. The
Front and rear wheels have a slightly different height outer side wall
in order to balance the performance of the car better and allow for the
use of our Low Profile tires both front and rear without the need for
truing under most conditions. We recommend starting with our 40 degree
front tire, glued to the wheel with full outer sidewall glue and our Low
profile 30degree, 11mm tires in the rear, glued to the wheel.
Much
like our 2WD wheels, these are made from Fiber Reinforced Nylon and are
Acetone safe so they are not only affordable, but also re-usable. Our
favorite thing about the material is that the tires bond MUCH better to
the wheel and unglued tires become a thing of the past. This allows us
to run much smaller tires on our AWDs, which yields faster acceleration
and better corner speed.
These wheels are also compatible with our new RX608 Double Decimal Wheel Plate Set.
***For
the Giulia, these make the car right about 79mm wide in the front and
78 in the rear. (Yes, much like 10th scale TC's, you want your front
slightly wider on an AWD car for more stability, on power steering and
less rolling over). While plates are compatible, most bodies are not
wide enough when you install the plates. However, we use such small
tires and the front side wall is taller, so most of the time, all that
is needed is the front sidewall glue. With the Atomic BZ3, the car ends
up at about 75mm front and 74mm rear.
