What would be a good choice of wheels to fit a 4mm motor shaft?
What would be a good choice of wheels to fit a 4mm motor shaft?
Banebots wheels are mentioned heavily on here. They fit straight on to different shaft sizes, have options for double or even triple wheels on one hub and are meant to be quite grippy. I will be using a double set for my Beetleweight, once FD finally has his first fight.

You have to get them sent across from the US so check the postage, import tax etc.

You usually cut the red wire to turn off the BEC power supply from the esc to the receiver (when you have a black, white and red wire).
I trimmed mine just before the connection to the receiver so the rest of the cable didn't peel apart along its length, cut a couple of mm off so it couldn't accidentally short together, and then taped the ends.
Yeah, don't cut the ground wire, you need that to reference the data signal. Also you don't have to cut them. There is a little flap you can pull up to remove the wire from the connector without cutting it. See here:
Thanks for that information, got the rest of my bits arriving tomorrow to get it wired up, so think ill be fine now, however still am unsure about wheels as id rather not source them from the US and find a UK supplier of suitable wheels, since I was doing a hobbyking order I added these to it just to trial before finding some better ones.

reckon they'll be good?
Is that foam / sponge tread? More experienced Beetleweighters will have to step in if I'm wrong, but they seem a little too lightweight to me.
I use fingertech foam wheels on snap hubs with 4 layers of liquid latex on them, they provide more than enough grip with the latex on them and the foam works nicely to isolate the motor shafts from shock.
