Upgraded!
Now available with a 6mm bore to fit onto our Brushless Mega Spark gearmotors! - 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.
- Upgraded lengthwise fins ensure the tire cannot spin on the hub even if the tire isn't compressed by the washer. (4mm x 0.5in are still round until the current batch sells out.)
- Available in two widths; 0.50in (thin) and 0.75in (wide), and in three bore sizes; 3mm, 4mm, and now also 6mm to fit our
Brushless Mega Spark gearmotors.
Specifications: - Anodized 6061 aluminum for high strength and low weight.
- The foam tire is held tightly by a custom locking washer, which must be pressed in and turned 90 degrees to release.
- The hex flange will allow you to keep driving even if the locking washer is destroyed.
- 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).
- Weight: Thin size (0.50in wide) weighs 5.6g each. Wide size (0.75in wide) weighs 7.1g each.
