The team at C.B. Design that brings you the best wheels in 1\/32nd<\/span> scale are\u00a0now producing their first design in 1\/24. Introducing the “Steely”.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

From the official announcement:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Based on our popular 1:32 Classic Steel Wheels, the 1:24 Classic Steel Wheels are intended primarily for scratch builders. \u00a0There are two (2) variations of this wheel – one variation is designed for use with 3\/32″ axles\u00a0while the second variation is designed for 1\/8″ axles. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Note that both wheel variations are the same size (i.e. take the same tire). \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Designed for use with Paul Gage H&R Narrow (Rib) urethane tires.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Why Offer Two Axles Sizes?<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Many 1:24 scratch builders, particularly those trying their hand at scratch building a 1:24 car for the first time, already have a significant investment in 1:32 parts such as axles, gears and bushings that are designed for 3\/32″ axles. \u00a0The 1:24 Classic Steel Wheel for 3\/32″ axles gives these scratch builders the option to leverage their existing investment in 1:32 parts. \u00a0On the other hand, the 1:24 Classic Steel Wheel for 1\/8″ axles lets scratch builders who already have an investment in parts designed for 1\/8″ axles use those parts.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This wheel design is likely the most popular style we could ask for as a first effort. I think the level of detail is more than enough for the scale racer. Holding them in my hands, I could not help but just shake my head and smile. These will certainly help me make some very nice scale classic NASCARs I have planned much easier. <\/span><\/p>\n

And I like easy \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

The hubless design is nice too. I like the ribbed style as well because it allows me to slip on the Paul Gage tires I like to use for our track.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"124steely4\"<\/p>\n

The fit of these wheels is crucial to performance. My test samples are as precise as it gets with literally a perfect fit for the standard 1\/8″ commercial axles I tested. The high grade aluminum used gives us a strong and reliable product as we have seen in 1\/32.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 3\/32nd axle size wheels I have are using the smaller M2 set screws (0.035 Hex) but I am told this is already going to be changed to utilize the more standard 4-40 (.050 hex) screws in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"124steely1\"<\/p>\n

Overall I am more than pleased to see this scale get a much-needed quality wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n

More styles are already in the works too, so stay tuned. For now I am just happy to see these finally introduced.<\/span><\/p>\n
