Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Associated CR12 Wheel Set Chrome suitable for all CR12 models? — The AS41051 is specified as compatible with Associated CR12 vehicles. However, we always recommend consulting your specific model's manual or parts list to confirm suitability by part number AS41051 before ordering. If you're unsure whether this is the correct wheel set for your particular CR12 variant, RC Model Shop's team are happy to help — just get in touch and we'll advise based on your exact model.
- What makes genuine Associated parts better than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Associated components are engineered to exact manufacturer specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, optimal performance and compatibility with your CR12's suspension geometry and drivetrain. Aftermarket alternatives may introduce fitment tolerances or build quality variations that compromise handling balance or durability. With an official Associated part, you know you're getting the component your vehicle was designed for.
- Will the chrome finish last through regular bashing? — The chrome plating is applied to a quality base material designed to withstand regular RC use. However, like any cosmetic finish, the chrome may eventually show signs of wear if your CR12 experiences significant impacts or abrasive terrain contact. Regular cleaning and careful handling will help preserve the finish. If you're planning heavy bashing use, you may want to consider whether chrome wheels suit your specific driving style.
- Can I use these wheels with different tyres? — The AS41051 wheel set is designed for CR12 vehicles and pairs well with a wide range of tyre choices available for this platform. To ensure compatibility, verify that the tyres you select are specified for the CR12 and have the correct bead diameter. Your CR12's manual will detail compatible tyre options.
- How quickly can I receive this in the UK? — RC Model Shop typically ships the Associated CR12 Wheel Set Chrome next day from order. Standard UK shipping is £3.95 to most of the UK, or select Express Shipping at £6.95 for even faster delivery. Orders over £100 qualify for free standard shipping across the UK.
- Is this a complete wheel assembly or just the wheels? — The AS41051 is a wheel set designed for CR12 vehicles. Depending on your current setup, you may already have compatible tyres, hubs and drivetrain components in place. If you're completely building from scratch, consult your CR12 manual or contact RC Model Shop for guidance on what additional components you'll need to complete your wheel installation.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
