Bead-Lock wheels
For some time now, the popularity of Bead-Lock wheels has been growing, in particular due to their scale-looks of the fixing screws in the outer rings of the wheel.
The big difference between Bead-Lock and regular wheels. With Bead-Lock wheels, the tires are not glued but clamped and screwed onto the wheel. The special way of clamping and the strong fastening of the screws ensures that the tire stays firmly on the wheel.
Due to the extreme loads during driving, cornering and high jumps, the design of the wheel and the materials used are extremely important. The proper flexibility and strength allow the Louise RC wheels to withstand these heavy forces.
The wheels are made of a mixture of high quality nylon granulates, charged with fiber or without. These composites have been specially developed by Dupont® for Louise RC.
Tire inserts
The tires are mounted either with special preformed foam inserts or with cut-to-size foam inserts. The inserts are selected in a specific density and size in order to guarantee perfect dampening and form stability of the tire.
SPORT Compound
Louise RC has years of experience in producing high performance tires for RC cars. The RC hobby driver and the RC basher have totally different requirements for the tires than the RC competition car driver. From this experience the special sports rubber compound has been developed. The sport rubber compound comes in 2 densities, soft or medium-soft. For the lighter 1/10 cars the soft compound is mainly used and for the more powerful and usually heavier 1/8 models the medium-soft compound is applied.
The SPORT rubber compound guarantees a tire that;
- is particularly wear-resistant
- provides an outstanding road-handling and steering precision
- provides an excellent grip on the different types of surfaces
- is compatible with the high-power ratings of today's RC cars
