  • There are a lot of different short course RC wheels out there, with lots of different offsets. This video will explain what their true backspacing measurements are, which trucks they fit, and why you would want to pick one the other.

    Be careful using the measurement from the rear face to the hex mounting surface as that is backspacing, not offset. Offset refers to the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the hex mounting surface; a measurement that is based on knowing the exact width of the wheel and where the hex mounting surface is located relative to that. It's easy to mix the two up but they are not interchangeable.

      Good point, and I should've been more careful with the term. In the beginning I briefly mention what 0-offset actually means, but unfortunately Proline went and redefined the term and confused the rest of the world. Good point about backspacing, thanks, didn't know there was a term for that so I just called it "the measurement from the inner lip to the mounting surface".

    The Offset is where the hub meets the outside of the rim. Not the width. 0 offset means the hub sits flush with the edge of the rim. The less the offset, the narrower the profile will be. 3mm offset will sit a total of 6 mm wider than 0 offset to the outer edge of the tire.

    • @RazorRC

      That's actually backspacing. Proline calls it offset, but it's the wrong term. www.discounttiredirect.com/learn/offset-backspace

      @@RazorRC The slash 2wd has an offset correct? if so Im asking why whats the offset for? is it help with over steer or something? Im confused, I noticed RPM sells specific A-Arms for the 2wd slash to compensate the offset so you can use all 4 matching wheels?

      I didn't cover any of the other hex sizes, only 12mm. Senton 3S is 14mm, Senton 6S is 17mm, and there are other weird sizes like the Durango which uses 15mm and I think there are some 13mm trucks. ☹️

      It was originally for knuckle clearance on the Traxxas Slayer which used a much larger knuckle from the Revo. Using a 2.2 outer diameter retains the scale look and the 3.0 inner diameter accommodates the large hubs.
