Understanding Dually Wheel Configurations
Front vs Rear Dually Wheels
Front wheels: Single wheel per side with standard offset. These typically have the same spoke design as the rear but in a single-wheel configuration.
Rear wheels: Dual wheels per side (4 wheels total on rear axle). These require specific spacing and often have modified center sections to accommodate the dually configuration.
Matching Sets
Always purchase or print matching front and rear sets to ensure:
- Consistent spoke patterns across the entire truck
- Proper scale and proportions
- Authentic dually truck appearance
- Professional finished look
3D Printing Tips for Dually Wheels
FDM Printing Recommendations
- Layer height: 0.12-0.16mm for crisp spoke details
- Infill: 25-35% for strength without excess weight
- Supports: Use tree supports for complex spoke designs
- Material: PETG or ABS for functional RC use, PLA for display models
- Print orientation: Face-down for best surface finish on visible side
Resin Printing for Maximum Detail
For the most intricate designs (Forgiato, Corleone Forged), resin printing delivers superior results:
- Layer height: 0.03-0.05mm for ultra-fine spoke details
- Exposure: Slightly over-expose for strength in thin spokes
- Supports: Minimal supports on spoke backs to avoid visible marks
- Post-processing: Thorough cleaning and full UV cure before painting
- Resin type: Use tough or ABS-like resin for durability
Scaling for Different Truck Sizes
- 1:10 scale: Standard size, easiest to print with good detail
- 1:14 scale: Medium size, good balance of detail and printability
- 1:18 scale: Smaller size, requires resin printing for best results
- 1:24 scale: Tiny scale, resin printing essential for spoke clarity
Finishing & Painting Dually Wheels
Surface Preparation
- Sand with 220-grit to remove layer lines
- Progress to 400-grit for smooth finish
- Apply automotive filler primer (2-3 coats)
- Wet sand with 600-800 grit between primer coats
- Final sand with 1000-grit for glass-smooth surface
Paint Options
Chrome/Polished finish:
- Alclad II Chrome for airbrush (most realistic)
- Molotow Liquid Chrome markers (easy application)
- Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome spray (good for larger wheels)
Matte black/Satin finish:
- Tamiya TS-6 Matte Black spray
- Duplicolor Wheel Paint (durable)
- Custom mixed automotive paint for exact color matching
Two-tone finishes:
- Mask spoke faces for polished look
- Paint recesses in contrasting color (black, gunmetal)
- Use milled accent technique with silver paint pen
Clear Coating
Protect your finish with quality clear coat:
- 2K automotive clear for maximum durability
- Multiple thin coats better than one thick coat
- Wet sand between coats with 2000-grit for show finish
- Final polish with automotive compound for mirror shine

Wheel & Tire Combinations
Pair your dually wheels with appropriate tires:
- Street builds: Low-profile performance tires
- Lifted trucks: Aggressive mud terrain or all-terrain tires
- Work trucks: Commercial truck tire patterns
- Show trucks: Clean street tires or low-profile performance
Suspension Considerations
Dually trucks require specific suspension setup:
- Wider rear track width to accommodate dual wheels
- Proper ride height for realistic stance
- Functional or static suspension depending on use
- Scale-accurate leaf springs or air suspension
Body Styles That Work Best
- Ford F-350/F-450 Super Duty
- Chevy Silverado 3500HD
- Dodge Ram 3500
- GMC Sierra 3500
- Classic square-body trucks (1970s-1990s)
- Modern lifted show trucks

Common Printing Issues & Solutions
Spoke Breakage
Problem: Thin spokes breaking during printing or handling
Solution: Increase wall thickness in slicer, use tougher materials, switch to resin printing
Layer Lines on Curved Surfaces
Problem: Visible layer lines on wheel faces
Solution: Reduce layer height, increase resolution, orient print face-down
Support Marks
Problem: Visible marks where supports attached
Solution: Use tree supports, reduce support density, sand and fill before painting
Warping on Large Wheels
Problem: Wheels warping or lifting during print
Solution: Use heated bed, add brim or raft, ensure proper bed adhesion, control ambient temperature
