Thank you. I wanted to make sure I buy the right size that would also fit the wheel pants. I think 3" diameter wheel should be ok. I ordered my wheel pants but haven't received it yet.

Word to wise- do not use ultra light smooth foam! Not strong enough. Ask how I know!

I upgraded my wheels to 3.5" ones I got from taildragger RC. I don't think they stock them anymore though.

If you can't get them from EF, I picked up some spare 3.5 wheels from aerobeez for just a few $$.

Checkout the spare parts list on the 30cc slick 540, those are the ones I got. Have put then on a few other planes needing wheels.

I know since the one I have currently is the soft foamy one. I found one that I had bought long time ago, it is from Hanger 9 and is 3". I think the 3.5 " might not fit the wheel pants?!

The ones I have I think barely fit the pants. I chose to not use the pants as they just get so beat up in the grass we fly off of and they were pretty enough to look ok without them. Also saves a tiny bit of weight.

I'm using the treaded 3" DuBro right now. My stock were really worn. Hubs were falling out and I think they were worn to 2 1/2 inches.
