New transmitter wheel for Sanwa
The tire on my wheel is rotted and just fell off. It’s an Airtronics/Sanwa MT-4. Can any one recommend a high quality replacement? The foam is really rotted and hard.
**I don’t mind and think I would prefer if the wheel/tire was larger so I could control with one hand slightly easier then I do

I like how this feels but it’s so heavy when I let go it oscillates
I guess I never realized it’s a “1.6” is that right?

I like the JConcepts ones, extremely comfortable. Only thing that I don't like is the grey color.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: New transmitter wheel for Sanwa
Believe it or not I’ve been sticking with the smoothee ultimate sandcar front tire
I personally use a Yokohama traction service 720 with the sides cut down for hard pack in my 4 seater but there is nothing like a smoothee on sand at 8 psi.
Edit: these ones. Funny my sidewalls definitely say traction service not tractor lol
