- Top Performance - Precision-machined from the raw material (not injection-molded like most wheels) to provide excellent precision in all dimensions for smooth, fast, and straight runs.
- Less Surface Contact per Rotation - Our regular outlaw wheels have a linear contact between the wheel bore and the axle per revolution of .289 inches. Due to the smaller bore size, these needle wheels have a linear contact of 0.126 inches, a 56% reduction in surface contact per revolution. Over the course of a 32 foot track (actual distance traveled is about 27), this results in a reduction of over 44 inches of linear contact!
- Fast Starts - Very light weight for the fastest starts possible.
- Minimal Friction from Car Body - Pre-beveled hubs minimize contact with the axle head and car body.
- Minimal Track Surface Friction - Extremely small contact patch minimizes track friction.
- Minimal Lane Guide Friction - The wheel sides are beveled to minimize contact with the lane guide (see Figure 1).
- Well-balanced - Machined from Delrin for uniform density throughout.
- Computer Designed - To provide the maximum mechanical advantage over axle friction.
Usage
These wheels are ready to roll - just lube and go. Do not sand the tread surface as this may detract from performance.
To prepare the car body, axle holes must be drilled with the supplied 1/32 inch drill bit. The holes must be drilled accurately, so use an accurate drill press, and drill slowly to minimize flexing of the drill bit.
