Overview
The HPI Racing Brass Wheel Weight Set is a precision-machined upgrade designed to add critical unsprung mass to the wheels of the HPI Venture18 CC competition crawler. Made from solid brass, these inserts dramatically increase wheel weight – the single most effective upgrade for improving low-speed crawling traction and stability.
The added rotational mass keeps tires planted over uneven terrain, lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, and helps the rig "stick" to climbs and ledges that would otherwise be problematic.
