TPU Tire and PETG Wheel for 1/18 RC Cars
I designed a custom wheel and tire set optimized for 1/18 scale RC cars. The wheel is printed with durable PETG for strength, while the tire is printed with flexible TPU 85A to provide grip and cushioning. The tires are glued onto the wheels for a secure fit.
The wheel features a 12 mm hexagon mount inside, making it compatible with most 1/18 scale cars. It also has a 2 mm offset, meaning the wheel sits slightly further out compared to stock wheels, giving the car a wider stance. I tested the set on my LRP Shark 18 Monster, and it performs great both on- and off-road.
Details:
- Scale: 1/18
- Wheel Material: PETG
- Tire Material: TPU 85A
- Mount: 12 mm hex
- Offset: +2 mm
- Tire-to-wheel bond: glued
Notes:
- Works perfectly for small-scale monster trucks and buggies.
- The +2 mm offset makes the car wider and more stable.
- You can experiment with different TPU hardness levels for more or less grip.
- Printing orientation and proper supports are recommended for best results.
Enjoy improved durability, traction, and a wider stance for your 1/18 RC car with this DIY printable tire and wheel set!
