Foam wheels are excellent at preventing shock from destroying delicate gearmotors. If they get hit, the wheel will usually only tear or lose a chunk, unlike hard wheels that will break and immobilize your robot.
As with any foam wheel, once you have mounted them on your hub it is a good idea to spin the wheel while sanding it to make it perfectly true.

Your Antweight needs these wheels.

Ben Walker - 24th January 2018

The snap wheels are great. Affordable, light weight and able to absorb a hit.

Great value when you buy the hubs at the same time

Travis Schmidt - 13th August 2015

Very light, decent traction. I have also found that my gearmotors seem to last longer due to the shock absorbing properties of these foam wheels.

Light and consistent

Mike Jeffries - 19th October 2014

The Snap Wheels are a nice upgrade from lite flites. Traction is similar, but with the Snap Wheels you get wheels that are round from the start. They also pair nicely with the Snap Hubs for a tough and light wheel solution.

RamVac uses Snap Wheels

Sam McAmis - 25th September 2014

I've had RamVac for over 4 years and over 100 fights, but one of the most significant improvements I've made in the past couple years is going to FingerTech's Snap Wheels.

Hex Wrench - 0.90 CAD

• Hex Wrench (aka Allen Key)
• Used for various screws and setscrews (see details)

Snap Ring Pliers - 1mm (0.038in) tips - 6.76 CAD

• Our Snap Hubs use a snap ring with small 1mm (0.039in) holes. Since pliers for these aren't as common as the 1.5mm (0.051in) tips, we are stocking some for your convenience!

FingerTech Snap Hubs (pair) - 5.00 CAD

Note: Snap Hubs are being replaced by our new and improved Twist Hubs. We've ordered one last batch for people to buy spares, but we will not be carrying Snap Ring Pliers anymore so Snap Hubs are not recommended for new projects.

• Foam wheels are the preferred choice for combat robots because they absorb impacts and save your drive motors from stripping teeth!

• Combine with our FingerTech Foam Wheels, or if you already have Lite Flites (or their thinner counterpart Lectra Lites) they can be used with Snap Hubs too!

• With Snap Hubs, you can easily and securely mount these foam tires to your robot.

• The foam tire is held tightly by a custom washer, and features a recess to keep the snap ring from getting hit by weapons.

• The hub is secured to the motor shaft by a strong 8-32 setscrew.

• Available with 3mm and 4mm shaft bore, but can be drilled out as big as 6.35mm (0.25in).

• Make sure to choose the correct Thin/Wide size to match your wheels.
