What is RC Wheel Model Studio?

RC Wheel Model Studio is a browser app by Randall Frank that builds a wheel for a radio-controlled car from an OpenSCAD model. You pick a car preset or start from the defaults, change the numbers, press Generate STL and check the result in a 3D preview with top, bottom and side views before you download it.

The settings come in six groups: General (mesh quality, wheel pin hole and air hole), Shroud (diameter, thickness, width and an inner rim bevel), Tire channels (width, thickness and the height of the inner and outer bead ridges), Hub (hex size across flats, hex depth, hub diameter, pin inset and how far the hub sits from the inner face), Spokes (1 to 20 spokes, how solid they are, root widths and offsets, twist at the hub and rim, smoothing and round holes) and Advanced (a clearance for your printer). The 14 presets cover wheels for Axial, Kyosho, Rlaarlo, Tamiya and Team Associated/Losi cars, a Model Reference tab shows cross-section diagrams with every setting marked, and Save Params and Load Params keep your settings in a file.

The output is one STL of the wheel; the tire is not included. It is free, has no account, and the code is on GitHub under the MIT license. The maker confirmed that you can sell prints of the wheels you generate. The app is new (July 2026) and has few users so far. It suits RC hobbyists replacing or restyling the wheels on a buggy, truck or crawler.
