Gator RC PU Copper Hub RC Airplane Wheels
The Gator RC Polyurethane (PU) Copper Hub Wheel Set is designed to provide improved durability, wear resistance, and shock absorption compared to traditional rubber wheels. Polyurethane wheels offer a longer service life while resisting chemicals, oils, and grease that can damage conventional rubber wheels.
Featuring an upgraded PU formula and a copper pipe-reinforced wheel bore, these wheels are engineered for balanced operation and long-term reliability. The copper and aluminum hub assembly features an oxide sandblasted finish for a clean appearance and durable construction.

💡 Modeler’s Tips
When installing these wheels onto smooth steel axles, use a small file or dremel to grind a microscopic flat spot on the axle where your wheel collar set screws rest. Apply a drop of light machine oil inside the copper pipe-reinforced bore line before your first flight to guarantee friction-free, buttery-smooth rollout rotations.
