The wheels are not as grippy as they look unfortunately but they are strong, figure you can add grip separately, They are cut from a large hose probably used for fuel supply. Some of you might remember a tube that Daniel Marshal had brought in at the last robowars, it had dunlop written on it. The tube has multiple layers of cloth and has 4 wires embedded in a spiral throughout probably for running power to the end of the hose.
This is the same material that Spyders wheels are made of and having received at least 3 direct hits on the right wheel by Snak Masheen, think they have proved themseleves.
Will have to add something for traction later on, maybe like on Spyder, maybe not but will definitely be cutting a paticular pattern out of them to collapse when hit as well as bounce when dropped. Will put pics up when doing the wheels. The hubs are same as Kingpins 6 inch wheels and the tube fits rather well on the hubs. Think the Keros also used these hubs on PQs weapon.
@Aaron yes think they are GMC, spares welcome as they are not the same identical gearboxs, one has 5 gears at final stage – prob a hammer drill but both have same ratio and a double D output which made it easier to work with, and yes would like to try Spyders front end on it for constant in your face annoyance… and aggression points _________________ Bots that do not destroy you, only make you stronger.
