This product has been retired. It is no longer available, but this page has been kept for reference.

New alternatives available! Pololu have released Pololu's own servo wheels that Pololu recommend over this product. In particular, Pololu's 70×8mm Wheel for Standard Servos has almost the same dimensions as this wheel (see the picture below for a side-by-side comparison).

2-5/8" Futaba Servo Hub, Solarbotics 2-5/8" SW-B Servo Wheel, and 70mm Pololu Wheel for Standard Servo Splines.

The Solarbotics SW wheel is compatible with standard Futaba servo hubs such as those on the SpringRC SM-S4303R and Power HD AR-3606HB continuous rotation servos. The plastic wheel is molded from ABS and has a molded-on thermoplastic silicone tire with great traction and wear characteristics. There is a 64-strip encoder pattern on one side of the wheel compatible with the Wheel Watcher. The plastic wheels measure just under 2-5/8" (69 mm) across by 0.3" (7.62 mm) wide and are available in blue, yellow, red, and black.

Note: This Futaba servo wheel does not come with any mounting hardware. To mount the wheel, use the screw included with your servo.

Installation
