Key Features
- Genuine Associated OEM Spare Part — This is an authentic factory part manufactured by Associated, ensuring perfect fitment, durability and reliability. When you choose genuine spares over aftermarket alternatives, you maintain the engineering standards that the manufacturer designed into your RC car.
- Wide Wheel Design — The wide profile provides a more stable platform for your buggy, improving traction and reducing the risk of tipping during aggressive cornering or high-speed manoeuvres. This purposeful design also gives your Reflex a more aggressive, commanding stance that looks as good as it performs.
- Premium Black Finish — The smart black colour provides a clean, professional appearance that matches the factory aesthetics of the Reflex 14B and 14T models. This coordinated look ensures your replacement wheels integrate seamlessly with the rest of your buggy's design.
- Supplied as One Pair — You receive two wheels in this single package, providing the coverage you need for front or rear replacement, or allowing you to swap out a complete set if both wheels have suffered damage or excessive wear.

Technical Performance
The Associated Reflex 14B/14T Wide Wheels represent thoughtful engineering in the area of chassis dynamics and handling characteristics. The wide profile design increases the contact patch between the wheel and the racing surface, which translates to improved traction and more predictable handling during acceleration, braking and cornering. This is particularly important in 1/14-scale RC buggy racing, where precision and consistency are critical for competitive performance. The wheels are designed to work seamlessly with the Reflex 14B's 4WD platform and the Reflex 14T's 2WD configuration, ensuring compatibility across both models in the range. The black finish is applied to withstand the rigours of regular RC use, resisting fading and discolouration even with frequent exposure to UV light and outdoor racing conditions. For drivers in the UK who run their RC buggies on both indoor carpet tracks and outdoor asphalt or clay surfaces, these wheels maintain consistent performance across varied terrain and weather conditions. The genuine Associated construction means you can depend on these wheels for reliability lap after lap, whether you're pushing for lap times in competitive racing or enjoying casual weekend bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with both the Reflex 14B and 14T models? — Yes, these wheels are specifically designed to fit both the Associated Reflex 14B (which features 4WD) and the Reflex 14T (which features 2WD). The model number AS21551 confirms compatibility across both variants of the Reflex platform.
- What makes wide wheels better than standard wheels for RC buggies? — Wide wheels increase the contact patch with the racing surface, providing greater traction and more stable handling characteristics. This improved grip helps prevent wheel spin during acceleration and provides better cornering stability, making wide wheels the preferred choice for competitive and high-performance RC buggy racing.
- Why should I choose genuine Associated wheels over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts are engineered and tested by the manufacturer to exacting standards. They ensure perfect fitment, maintain the handling characteristics your buggy was designed around, and typically offer superior durability compared to third-party alternatives. Choosing genuine spares protects your investment in your RC car.
- How often will I need to replace my wheels? — Wheel lifespan depends on your driving style, terrain and frequency of use. Intensive racing or frequent bashing on rough terrain will wear wheels faster than casual recreational driving. Most serious RC enthusiasts keep spare wheels on hand to swap out as needed, ensuring their buggy is always ready to perform at its peak.
- Do I need any tools or adhesive to fit these wheels? — Fitment details specific to wheel installation should be confirmed with the Associated Reflex manual or by contacting our team at RC Model Shop. We're happy to provide fitting advice and support to ensure you install your new wheels correctly.
- Are these wheels pre-assembled or do they require mounting? — The product is supplied as wheels only. Tyre mounting and balancing may be required depending on your specific setup and whether you're reusing existing tyres or installing new ones. Our team can advise on the best approach for your situation.
