As the product name suggests, the CB Design LMP wheel was designed to enhance the performance and appearance of 1/32 LMP slot cars. However, don't let the name fool you - these wheels will compliment the appearance of a much wider range of cars. Of particular note is the simulated wheel retaining nut - this design feature makes the wheel very unique and further enhances the overall appearance of the wheel. CB Design LMP wheels offer the following features and benefits:
True LMP design complements a wide variety of 1/32 slot cars makes and models (see photo gallery at top of page for examples). These wheels feature a unique simulated center retaining nut to further enhance the appearance and realism of the wheel .
Designed to work with a wide range of tires including Quick Slicks, NSR, Slot.It, Indy Grips, Ortmann, MaxxTrac and others. We have developed an exclusive Tire Selector to help you determine which tires are available for a given C.B. Design LMP Wheel. For more information, please click here.
Precision machined using state-of-the-art CNC machine tools which ensure CBD Wheels are perfectly round and the axle bore is concentric with both the outer wheel surface and longitudinal axis of the axle.
Perfect concentricity between the axle bore and longitudinal axis of the axle is achieved by designing all CB Design LMP Wheels for a specific axle (Slot.it SIPA01). Tolerances between the axle bore and axle are very snug. When mounting or dismounting CBD Wheels on the recommended axle, resistance will be noticeable. Again, this is by design - the snug fit ensures concentricity is maintained when the set screw is tightened. The result – ZERO wheel wobble or vibration which translates into better performance whether in a straight line or while cornering.
Sturdy, race proven design. Some of our competitors wheel's achieve lighter weight at the expense of structural integrity and durability. Ultra-lightweight wheels can be prone to "bending" - particularly when subjected to "offs" and hits during actual racing. Once bent, the wheel "wobbles" which in turn adversely affects the car's performance. In contrast, CBD LMP Wheels are designed to be raced under the most demanding conditions - rest assured they will survive crashes and trips to the floor!
Wider Contact Patch. The CB Design LMP 17x11mm rear wheels have a 10% wider contact patch than 17x10mm wheels. This provides the opportunity to fit a wider wheel/tire under cars - especially when "F1" wheels are not allowed. For many cars, the wider contact patch will help improve handling.
True hubless design provides exceptional flexibility when adjusting the rear track width. This is particularly important when rules specify the wheel/tire must be completely inside the fender and/or a maximum track width. Sidewinder setups can be especially challenging in this respect. In particular, CB Design LMP wheels provide serious racers the ability to run wider tires under a greater variety of cars than our competitor's full and "small" hub wheel designs.
Easy to locate the retaining set screw using a small dimple machined on the outside of wheel. This is especially helpful if the tire is glued to the wheel and you can’t easily peel the tire back to locate the set screw.
Affordable alternative to other manufacturer’s more costly high-performance wheels.
