Re: Attaching sprocket to a pneumatic wheel?

Another factor to consider is the weight impact.

The Harbor Freight wheel is 3.9 lbs. The AM wheel is 1.1.
With a 4WD this is 16 pounds compared to 5.
With a 6 WD is is 24 compared to 7.

There are many factors to consider, weight should be included.

If your are able to make the HF wheel work and manage the weight, that is cool. There is always a tradeoff of weight, cost, availability and capability.
