Re: Attaching Tread on Vex Traction Wheels

We swapped out 4-inch Higrip wheels from AM with 4-inch Vex traction wheels for the increased traction. We used McMaster roughtop tread, which you can find with a simple search on their website. Using 6 rivets per wheel has ensured that they remain firmly attached, and the tread lasted us 3 competitions before it needed to be replaced
