hmm

whats it do? i just bought an s4 kit..it has great tension..i been looking at speed wheels like that..but never knew if they were worth it..i already have rip and a cheetah..but sometimes the paint gets stuck..

First off... check the link.

Okay so you did that, and you still want more.

It is a little piece of delrin that slides (had to pound mine on) onto the brass wheel that is on the motor drive shaft. All it really does is increase the circumference of the motors pully so that the rotational velocity (speed) is greater on the drive belt... thus the name "speed wheel".

It may eat up batters faster due to the loss of rotational force (torque) of having a larger radius thus causing the motor itself to work harder, but as much as they all were ranting about it, it must not be too much of a loss.
EDIT: also another thing I am worried about is that it uses the same belt. It is under a little more tension but it seems fine.

OBVIOUSLY FASTER. (actually its a 1/3 faster, as per the web site)

band..

is this the 1 that comes with both the band and thje wheel or just the wheel..

[MoeMag]

Just wheel. See EDIT /\ /\ /\

All I got was a little plastic bag, and a ring of delrin that costs $13.00 . I thought "you have to be kidding" when I saw it but... damn.

speaking of cool stuff for halo's, i had to replace my shells so i bought one of these. the shells feel more durable than the stock ones and if you happen to get broken paint inside, just unscrew the three screws and the top half comes off for easy cleaning.

I remember reading that a fella had problems with his cracking up from just minor hopper hits... How is yours holding up? It seemed like it was one of those new product flaws that just needed to be worked out.

More Speed! More Bps! More Victories! Must Get!

actually isn't the circumfrence smaller??? If it was smaller would mean more speed....just seems logical

[PBCapo]

it would be faster if it was a smaller wheel on the actual shaft that is coming off of the raceway, but this is the wheel that is on the actual motor driveshaft itself, so it has to be bigger

[Pha|anx]

I picked up a Hot Rod Kit and it came with one. The speed improvment is noticeable but not anything like a V35/EB board, granted it is probably alot easier on the moter then a board set at 5+.

at the same RPM, what will go faster? a small scooter wheel, or a truck tire. the truck tire will be covering ground faster.

so wouldn't the smaller circumference create greater torque rather than speed?

like on a bicycle, you go in lower(smaller) gears to go uphill because its much easier than in the higher gears.

[MoeMag]

Its a larger circumfrence. the ring slips OVER the brass wheel on the motor drive shaft.
I will see if I can get a pic of it up for yall.
