Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel

Two banebots blue wheels, 3-7/8", seem to have good inertia. And they grip well. Only issue is the already talked about "film" build up on the wheels after shooting a lot of fuel.

Varying the compression even an eighth of an inch had a big impact, so make sure you're not using a narrow flywheel. The holes in the fuel will ruin all your planning.
