Schumacher low profile cut staggers

[damo_hall]

So just thought i would give the tyres i go i have purchased them to go onto the rev lite slim wheels. I cant seem to get them to seat properly they look like there hanging off and to big for the wheel is this the norm???

Are you using the slim revlight wheel made for staggers or the standard width ones?
If its the standard ones you need to cut innner section off so fit tyre to outer and middle rib.
if its the narrow ones the wheel gives them a large sidewall.

Damo,

I also had this problem with trying to mount the low profile staggers to slim wheels. The problem is the slim wheels are only 2.1" diameter where the tyres themselves are 2.2" diameter so the tyres will seem baggy around the wheel on the slims.
Just mount the staggers to the standard wheels which are 2.2" diameter and glue the inside of the tyre to the inner middle rib and cut off the unused wheel with a pair of scissors.

I did try the tyres on the 2.1" wheels once and due to the saggy nature offered very snatchy inconsistent performance so don't bother with them at all.

I'm not sure what tyres Schumacher design those wheels for tbh.

Strange,
I use LP Cut Staggers and also Stagger Ribs on Slim Wheels as Long as i have the car, they fit perfectly on the wheel and there was no need to glue them, they never came off!

Pic how it looks like.

Of course they will fit but I just wasn't happy with the way they fit that's all. The sidewall does not fit as tightly to the sidewall as on the standard cut down wheels so this causes the tyre to roll more on the rims. I just feel this excessive roll makes the steering feel inconsistent where mounting them to regular wheels calms the steering down.

The wheels I had where definitely a smaller diameter than the standard wheels but don't know if Schumacher make 2 sizes of slim wheel, one 2.2" and another 2.1".

The best way to check is to put your wheel side by side with a standard wheel and check the diameter.

Yes thats exactly what mine look like but i wasnt happy with them like that! Ok thanks guys i will give them a go on standard sized wheels!

[Pascewan]

Yeah, the slim wheels are a smaller diameter, there are no different sized slim wheels afaik

I also had issues with consistency, almost sold the car because i could drive it properly with stock setup, know i have a standard setup to work with and don't want to miss this car!

I Modified a few things, attached my setup aswell as a pic of my electronics setup.

Might not be the fastest, but for me as a very average driver, it's very easy to drive it on carpet. Used it on a very thight Low-grip Carpet track aswell as on the Eos track at the toy fair in Dortmund (wide high-grip,here it just lacked a bit of mid-Corner Steering). Modified the Battery Brace to move the ESC further back, Weight bias like this is a perfect 35/65.

Got hold of the correct wheels eventually. Do you guys use inserts? They still seem slightly saggy.....

[paulc]

No on low profile staggers inserts not needed

[damo_hall]

Cheers pal, still feel a bit saggy i guess thats how there supposed to feel???
