I'm only using banebots wheels from now on- on 720 as I've got about 20 kicking around plus 2 new sets... 722 is getting new wheels... they come bored ready for direct fitment onto the banebots shafts, come in varying sizes and are 2inch wide (sooo badass) also a material that dont go all fury... id tell you what they are but then everyone would have them lol

NPC Robotics? http://hobby.npcrobotics.com/store/products/wheels/ (Probably not, but they perfectly match the description for folks wanting some of your 'secret sauce')

I'm guessing its the same thing... possibly there made to order as i haven't even received a shipping tracking number from RMP yet... bit concerning as i spent a fair few hundred dollars with them the same day I made my banebots order.

There is a trick to ordering from the RMP: if the stock status below the price says 'available' (like it does on those wheels) then the part is NOT in the RMP warehouse and has to be ordered in. Given the part number at RMP, its definitely a Colson wheel with NPC's custom hub. The 2" wheels have a huge amount of grip and should last a long time,

Yeah that's what i was aiming for, cleaning the banebots gets boring and scrubing the OD of the wheels has a knock-on effect on the gyro/self righting on 720... the slightly larger OD and width should keep it a bit more predictable when i want to flip it over... Looks like the tyre is a dark grey/black on the NPC but a light grey on RMP site...also the RMP one doesnt have "colson" stamped on it in the picture... I figured if it wasn't a genuine colsons its going to be something very similar... even though i thought the 4"x2" colsons only came in black.

I think the pictures on the RMP site show copies of Colsons; there are some tiny differences to mouldings and that lettering. The photos on the NPC site look like the real thing. The NPC guys are into high quality parts, they wouldn't use anything they didn't think was top quality.
