Re: Andy Mark Traction Wheels?
We used IFI traction wheels last year and they worked fine. They were just hard to put together.

Re: Andy Mark Traction Wheels?
With access to a mill, place the wheel in the lathe, lathe down the rubber tread to the thickness of the tread. Then you can rivet on the tread to the remaining kit wheel.

Re: Andy Mark Traction Wheels?
Go with the IFI traction wheels. We used 6 of them last year and had more traction and power than in any previous year. It was a bit too much traction though; we ended up flipping over the tread on the two front wheels so it was able to turn.

Re: Andy Mark Traction Wheels?
thank you all of you guys!
we did some research, and found that the IFI traction wheels were our best bet, so we ordered two of them (only for drive wheels). We have the funds to spend on wheels, as our goal is to get the best possible rolling frame we can, and do all the technical do-dads afterwards, if they're even needed. Again, thank you guys very much! |

Re: Andy Mark Traction Wheels?
Word of advice: Take your time and make sure you have the EXACT size for tools to screw stuff in. Some of our screws started stripping too easily due to a bad assembly tool & process. We've used IFI tractions for 2 years + this year -- they work great.
