These giant wheels weigh less than an ounce between them, and allow your r/c model to land safely on rough ground.

I'm sick and tired of replacing props!
Every time I try an STO, the damn thing just rotates about its axles.

There's been a complaint from the aircraft taxiing behind us. Basically, we need to go back to the gate and get some mud flaps fitted.
