F1 Pro-mount wheels

Many of currently available wheels for F1 are based on the Tamiya foam tire wheel. The foam tire wheel from Tamiya is a well designed and produced wheel. However, it was DESIGNED for FOAM tires, with no centering or mounting guide ribs for the rubber tire bead. When rubber tires started becoming popular, these foam wheels were used because they were readily available, despite not being designed for rubber tires. And while they worked OK, there was plenty of room for improvement.

The new 1510 Pro-mount wheel is specifically designed for mounting rubber tires; specifically CRC’s RT-1, the TCS F1 and Pit Shimizu F1 line of tires. With the molded in “guidance ribs” or mounting ribs, the Pro-mount is superior to other F1 wheels. The rib guides the tire bead in the right place, not allowing the tire to be mounted too far on the wheel. The design makes mounting F1 rubber tires MUCH easier.

Left – CRC’s new F1 Pro-mount wheel; mounting ribs and holes for proper mounting. Right – the older standard flat “foam” rim adapted for rubber tire use.

CRC F1 Promount wheels – Ribbed for more pleasure when mounting, and who doesn’t like that? Straight, consistent tires.

Guidance ribs keep the tire bead where it belongs. Plus the pre-molded breather holes keep the tire from capturing air pressure.

***************

Possible problems using foam rims with rubber tires.

No ribs lead to inconsistent performance.
