New transmitter wheel for Sanwa

[mAdMan]

The tire on my wheel is rotted and just fell off. It’s an Airtronics/Sanwa MT-4. Can any one recommend a high quality replacement? The foam is really rotted and hard.

**I don’t mind and think I would prefer if the wheel/tire was larger so I could control with one hand slightly easier then I do

Just replace the foam donut.....

There are quite a few online and not expensive....

Or make your own out of a foam tire




There's always the kimbrough one

I like how this feels but it’s so heavy when I let go it oscillates



I guess I never realized it’s a “1.6” is that right?

I like the JConcepts ones, extremely comfortable. Only thing that I don't like is the grey color.

Believe it or not I’ve been sticking with the smoothee ultimate sandcar front tire

I personally use a Yokohama traction service 720 with the sides cut down for hard pack in my 4 seater but there is nothing like a smoothee on sand at 8 psi.


Edit: these ones. Funny my sidewalls definitely say traction service not tractor lol

Sure... but try mounting THAT to your transmitter
