The Foam Wheel 55mm for Aeromodelling is a plastic and foam wheel measuring 55mm outer diameter and 18mm width, compatible with RC plane landing gear and RC car builds. This Foam Wheel differs from the 48mm pure foam aeromodelling wheel covered separately — the 55mm variant uses a plastic hub with a foam tyre rather than a fully foam construction, combining the structural rigidity of a plastic hub for torque and axle force transmission with the lightweight shock-absorbing properties of a foam outer tyre for landing contact.
The Foam Wheel 55mm larger diameter provides more ground clearance than the 48mm wheel — the increased radius allows the aircraft to sit higher off the grass or tarmac strip, reducing the chance of propeller or fuselage strike on rough surfaces during takeoff roll. The foam wheels for rc plane’s 18mm width also provides stable side-to-side balance during ground roll, preventing the wheel from sinking into soft grass that a narrower tyre might cut into under the aircraft’s nose weight.
The foam wheels rc car compatibility makes this a dual-purpose wheel — its foam outer tyre is lighter than rubber at equivalent size, which reduces the rotating mass of the car’s wheel and decreases the load on lightweight RC car motors during acceleration. Available from StemVolt, offering quality robotics wheel is ideal for rc aircraft and hobby car builds.
