1/8 nylon wheel for Hyper 7 and MP9 platforms

Supplied as a matched pair, this 1/8 scale nylon wheel is engineered for Kyosho buggy fitment where hex and hub bore match. The five-pole geometry reduces mass while offering consistent rim flex characteristics useful for setup testing and tuning.

Compatibility and fitment: verify hub bore and hex dimensions before assembly. Maintain original washer and hex orientation to preserve wheel offset and track width. Confirm clearance at suspension arms and body mounts to avoid mechanical interference.

Installation overview: remove wheel nuts and existing rims, inspect axle components for wear, locate the wheel onto the hex until fully seated and torque wheel nuts to the vehicle specification. Perform full lock steering checks to verify there is no contact across the suspension travel.

Tuning role: the nylon construction provides measurable differences in unsprung mass and lateral compliance compared with composite or aluminium options. Use these wheels when performing controlled handling tests, altering tyre inserts or shock settings to quantify lap-time or feedback improvements.

Measure wheel hex and hub bore to ensure a tight fit; check wheel offset against your chassis to maintain suspension geometry and track width.
Introduce the nylon wheel alongside one variable at a time, such as tyre insert or camber change, and record lap times or driver feedback to isolate the wheel's effect.
Inspect for cracks or deformation after aggressive runs; replace wheels showing structural wear. Keep wheel nuts torqued to specification to avoid hex slippage.
