New AndyMark Wheels

[DiehardCybercard]

The pictures were just updated for the Stealth wheels. There are now pictures of that display the integrated hub for both wheels.

I seem to remember reading that the KoP chassis will have a direct-driven center wheel this year - does this sound familiar to anyone else? If that is correct, then these could be the wheels for the 2014 KoP

Yeah and it's going to be sheet metal. This must mean that the field won't have bump-like obstacles???

I'm having trouble imagining why you'd want to bolt a gear or sprocket to these wheels. What am I missing?

The only circumstance that'd make driving an attached sprocket useful is if you're driving a completely different type of wheel elsewhere. How often does that happen?

Maybe there's a dead-axle hub on its way?

My AM Stealth wheels arrived today. They are sexy.

So the Toughbox Mini with 4 inch wheels?

We're getting the PDV. Anyone know when we'll get it??

Direct Drive center wheel that is powering dead axle outer wheels.

The only problem with that theory is that they only offer them in 1/2" hex and 8mm. Could either of these work for dead axle????

AndyMark already sells a nice 4" wheel for dead axle.

Sure -- but at this point, your outer wheels will be of a different sort.

Not a big deal, really, but it's not all that typical of a setup, either.

...Just chain it to hi-grip wheels on the outsides.

Teams have mixed wheels before. It's not uncommon.
