Different tread to reduce slippage.
Much more solid backing to the wall.

The result is, we can run the wheel at a lower RPM and get much longer and repeatable flights. This will allow us to also have more headroom in the drive for faster spin up and shorter recovery time.
Can anyone say "Bang Bang" Speed Control"?

Did you also add something to the wall on the inside? The black material? Or is it just plastic? It seems you are increasing the spin rate of the frisbee as it leaves. Nice job and many thanks for sharing!,,
