FIRST Tech Challenge Note: This product is NOT legal for FTC. We recommend our Stealth Wheel for applications where digging into the surface is a concern.
Product Overview:
This is a 4 inch diameter wheel with HiGrip tread. The design of this wheel is very similar to our popular 6" HiGrip wheel, but with a smaller, 4" diameter. We feel that these wheels are a more durable option for teams' drivetrains. No bearings or hubs are included in this wheel.
Specifications:
