Banebots wheels

Hello All

Our team is in a bit of predicament of the moment. This year we decided to shoot Frisbee’s with the wheels available from banebots. Specifically the 2-7/8" OD .8" width hex bore wheels in green and orange colors.

These are powered by 3:1 and 1:1 BAG motors. However, due to a purchasing mistake, we have no more spare wheels for the shooter. Due to the rate that these wheels wear. it would be extremely helpful to be able to swap out wheels as need be. We are leaving to compete in the central valley regional tomorrow. It would be extremely helpful if someone could either point us in the direction of a seller or offer to sell these wheels to us at the competition, if your team is attending this event. We would be more than happy to pay a fair price or trade parts for these wheels.
Good luck to everyone in the 2013 season
Sincerely
Cristian Porter
President
Team 2085

What size hex and how many do you need? We may have some.

3

Half inch hex. And four total would be good. But any number would do.

4

We have some we could likely spare, but have no way to get them to you at CVR. Do you know of anyone coming late?

5

We have 4 of each we could spare. We could ship them to your hotel for delivery tomorrow, or send them down with someone who may be going up late one of these days. Let us know how to proceed. I PMd you my phone number.

Our team has several, in both the orange and blue treads (but not green), that we’re not using. We’ll be there at load-in tonight (and for the rest of the competition), so feel free to stop by our pit.

Move the wheels farther apart, the wheels ware far less that way - i.e. minimize simultaneous contact with both wheels on the Frisbee.

Thanks everyone, We should be good on wheels now. Anybody have any tips for tuning in our shooter for more speed and less wheel slip. Although moving the wheels apart would be best, it’s not really an option for us. Thanks again everyone.

One of the many reasons 254 is the perfect example of what teams should strive to be.
