In this feature, we sit down with Ricky Man of Boom Racing to uncover the story behind the game-changing ProBuild wheels — where performance meets limitless creativity.
Boom Racing ProBuild Wheels stand out in the world of scale RC vehicles due to their modularity, offering a unique blend of realistic aesthetics and top-tier performance. The modular design ensures these wheels are highly adaptable, making them suitable for a wide array of scale RC vehicle applications. Wheels are not only crucial for performance but also play a significant role in defining the overall appearance of a vehicle, influencing its stance and complementing or contrasting with body colours and liveries.
The detailed realism of these wheels, especially when viewed in photographs and videos, often results in viewers mistaking scale models for their full-sized counterparts.
