DE Racing Borrego SC wheels

DE Racing is proud to introduce the first true dish wheel for the Short Course market. Modeled after DE Racing’s 1/10 buggy line, the Borrego wheels feature the realistic scale appearance of a beadlock wheel with mud cover. They were also designed for use with optional sticker disks to give a new level of color customizing. The stronger wheel is designed from the ground up for the rigours of Short Course racing. Thicker wall sections, deeper support ribs, tighter/stronger hexes, and a dish face protected by a simulated beadlock ring make these wheels strong yet light of weight.
