The Foam Wheel 40mm for Aeromodelling is a plastic hub and foam tyre wheel measuring 40mm outer diameter and 11mm width, compatible with RC plane and RC car builds, and the smallest diameter foam wheel in StemVolt’s aeromodelling wheel lineup. This Foam Wheel is specifically suited for micro and nano RC planes, park flyers, and small foam board aircraft where the larger 48mm and 55mm foam wheels would be disproportionately oversized — aircraft wheel diameter should scale with the fuselage and undercarriage size so the landing gear does not add excessive weight or aerodynamic drag during ground roll and initial climb.
The Foam Wheel 40mm’s 11mm width is the narrowest of the three foam wheel sizes in the lineup, which minimises the frontal cross-section area of the wheel during takeoff roll — a narrower wheel presents less air resistance as the aircraft accelerates along the ground, which is measurably beneficial for small foam board RC planes where even small aerodynamic inefficiencies impact takeoff performance. The foam wheels for rc plane 40mm size also suits micro RC car builds where the smallest and lightest foam tyre option is preferred for minimum rotating mass.
This foam wheels rc car compatibility makes the 40mm wheel a dual-purpose component — the plastic hub provides structural rigidity for the car axle, while the foam outer tyre keeps total wheel weight lower than an equivalent rubber tyre. Available from StemVolt, offering quality robotics parts and DIY kits at competitive prices. This 40mm rc plane wheel is ideal for micro aircraft and hobby RC car builds.
