Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel

We were hitting the roof of our building quite easily at full power with blue 4 inch diameter stealth wheels. I don't know the exact number but its 25 to 30 feet of height. Couple that with extreme accuracy (hitting the center of a roof tile many times consecutively) and I'd say stealth wheels are a-ok for shooting.
so what compression are you running?
