I have 20 of each size coming in, so if any one is keen on Beta testing (relatively quickly) I'm sure we can organise something

I'd be interested, have spare tz's/reciever/drill motors/gearboxes and the metal that went into mental b0t only cost 39 bucks ( however I did get a lot of help from miles and jules re:machining and the rest ) so it's time to have a crack at building another bot solo.

Cheers Tim

Damn it, they are "Still in transit"!
Hope they arrive today so I can get some photos up and some quick testing of my own done.

They 'feel' a little harder then 60A, but I'll get a colson side by side and do a squeeze test to see how they compare. The center hub is 20mm in diameter and has a 8mm bore, so boring them out to 12mm / 1/2" will still be fine and if we machine a 3/4" hex, it will basically remove the hub all together.

EDIT: To make the BotBitz wheels stand out from others on the market, we can get them coloured. Should we go with Red or Yellow?

I would go with 'Sewer Snake Red' . Its a bit disappointing that the hubs are so narrow, how hard is the plastic? If you drilled & keyed the hub to take a 1/2" shaft, it will need to be fairly tough or it will wear quickly.

The hub size is just their standard wheel design, so take it with a grain of salt
If we do our production run (500+ wheels), we can get things like that changed on the mould. I'll have a crack at drill the holes out to 1/2" and cutting a keyway into them, this will allow me to slap them onto Knightrous Wedge quickly enough (Dewats = 1/2" keyed shaft) and see if the centers can handle that.

Sewer Snake Red is also my preference hehe

If you can get the hubs moulded any size in a bulk order, go for around 35mm. With a 20mm hub, there will only be about a 2mm wall thickness where the key is. Getting the urethane tread moulded a bit flatter for more floor contact couldn't hurt either.

Should come up with some 'proprietary' colour for everything - like the Project Mu green/blue colour
