FingerTech Twist Hubs (pair)

Price: 27.93 CAD
19.57 USD 18.77 EUR

Use Twist Hubs to easily and securely mount our FingerTech Foam Wheels. Foam wheels are the preferred choice for combat robots because they absorb impacts and save your drive motor gearboxes.

• Use Twist Hubs to mount our FingerTech Foam Wheels, or if you already have hobby store Lite Flites (or their thinner counterpart Lectra Lites) they can be used with Twist Hubs too!

• The foam tire is held tightly by a custom locking washer, which must be pressed in and turned 90 degrees to release.

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

• Available with 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm 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.

Perfect product!

All robots should use the finger tech foam wheels and twist hubs. I use these wheels in all my antweights. It would be nice to have a version of these wheels with a plastic hub to make the accessible to fairyweights.
Very durable

My kid's bot had the entire axle of the drive motor get torn off and the hub and tire was still attached to the broken axle. After the fight, the hub had a big scratch but was still perfectly using for the next fight.

These hubs take massive hits. I've used them for two competitions now, and at Moto 2020 they took hits from a horizontal spinner, and stayed on after getting bent in half. It was actually difficult to get them off after they got hit. The wheels never budged. Great product! Thank you!
very secure

These hubs work much better than the snap hubs, thank you Finger Tech for redesigning the hubs!
