Staffs Slot Cars Alloy Hubs - woodcote - 26th-Oct-19

[attachment=4138]

Nice car, but even nicer wheels Cool

A new range of alloy wheels from Staffs Slot Cars first appeared at the UK Slot Car Festival in May. Pairs of standard 15.8 x 10mm hubs and Air hubs were released in stylish gold, black and silver - all in five-spoke design that offered good looks without the need for inserts. The wheels are crafted and manufactured in Italy.

Seven new styles have just arrived in the UK - 15.8 x 8.5mm hubs in gold, black and silver, plus red and blue hubs in both the 8.5mm and 10mm widths.

If you want to pimp your cars with these exquisite rim, they will be available soon at Pendles, MRE, Typhoon Slots & Models and MC Slots. Expect to pay somewhere in the region of £7 to £8 per pair. The wheels come with M2 grub screws and fit 3/32 axles.

These look great, I have several of the earlier releases which are fantastic. What we need though is a nice 4 spoke wheel, nobody seems to make one since Cox made one for a 5/40 threaded axle.

Looking good, could use some "air hub" versions of these too Staffs :)

The full range of Staffs hubs are stocked in the UK by MRE and Pendle Slot Racing. Expect to pay around £8 for a pair of hubs and M2 grub screws.

RE: Staffs Slot Cars Alloy Hubs - Savage GT - 23rd-Jun-20

Not my cup of tea the 4 spokes, but good to see something different.
I do like the new "grey" colour, looks better than bare aluminium.
Some air hub of their "BBS" style in both sizes would be good, as would some 6 spoke designs.

Actually If anyone at Staffs is reading, some nice true scale 18" and 19" wheels would be good. (given staffs current tyre ridge sizing this would equate to 17.7mm and 18.5mm respectively).

Sorry, but I thought I would air a wish list Rofl

My wish would be to change those damned grub screws to a sensible size Tappingfoot
