Description
This custom-designed 3D-printed part is the tailwheel for Derek Micko’s CORSAIR but can be used on any small R/C plane. Its 3/4″ in diameter and 1/4″ thick. Weight is just over 1 gm. The tire is hollow black TPU and the hub is white PETG.
This wheel is recommended for use with 0.047″ wire (3/64 or 1.2mm). Its possible to use 1/16 wire as well but the smaller 0.047 wire will have a little more “spring”. The hub has a very small “starter hole” which the customer can drill out (BY HAND) for the wire axle. The wire is not included!
Figuring out how to retain a small wheel like this can be a challenge. You can use very small 1/16″ wheel collars but they look rather ugly. We now have “micro wheel retainers” that you can use – very small plastic tubing that fits over the wire. A bit of tubing is included with the wheel – just cut the tubing to a short length and put it on the end of the 0.047 wire.
If you’re looking at this saying “well darn, this wheel is 3/4″ (19.2mm) and I need one that is 21.5mm” – please contact us because we can make this wheel in other similar sizes, just let us know what you need.
Since this is such a small item we recommend adding it to other items in your cart. Its probably not worth ordering all by itself!
