In particular, Pololu's [70×8mm Wheel for Standard Servos](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-wheel-for-standard-servo-splines-25t-5-8mm-70-8mm-black-2-pack.html) has almost the same dimensions as this wheel (see the picture below for a side-by-side comparison). | [![](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J10777.900.jpg?3793dad20d2b7820ec97a357aa76f512)](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J10777.1200.jpg?3793dad20d2b7820ec97a357aa76f512) | |---| | [2-5/8" Futaba Servo Hub](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-5-8-plastic-black-wheel-futaba-servo-hub.html), [Solarbotics 2-5/8" SW-B Servo Wheel](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-b-black-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), and [70mm Pololu Wheel for Standard Servo Splines](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-wheel-for-standard-servo-splines-25t-5-8mm-70-8mm-black-2-pack.html). | | [![](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J1394.250.jpg?ea8dea570a417919bab6fa712adb2c11)](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J1394.1200.jpg?ea8dea570a417919bab6fa712adb2c11) | |---| The Solarbotics SW wheel is compatible with standard Futaba servo hubs such as those on the [SpringRC SM-S4303R](https://core-electronics.com.au/springrc-sm-s4303r-continuous-rotation-servo.html) and [Power HD AR-3606HB](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-hd-continuous-rotation-servo-ar-3606hb.html) 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-lb-blue-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), [yellow](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-y-yellow-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), [red](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-r-red-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), and [black](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-b-black-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html). **Note:** This Futaba servo wheel does not come with any mounting hardware. To mount the wheel, use the screw included with your servo. #### Feature Summary - Diameter: just under 2-5/8" (69 mm) - Tire width: 0.3" (7.62 mm) - Tire: molded-on thermoplastic silicone - Encoder stripes: 64-strip pattern molded in on one side (compatible with the Wheel Watcher) - Color options: [blue](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-lb-blue-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), [yellow](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-y-yellow-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), [red](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-r-red-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html), and [black](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-b-black-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html) #### Installation To install the wheel, remove the screw on your servo’s output shaft, push the wheel onto the shaft, and reinstall the screw. For some servos, such as the [SpringRC SM-S4303R](https://core-electronics.com.au/springrc-sm-s4303r-continuous-rotation-servo.html), the wheel might be a tight fit and not push onto the servo output shaft. In such cases, please try the method shown in this video: #### Some Compatible Products - [SpringRC SM-S4303R Continuous Rotation Servo](https://core-electronics.com.au/springrc-sm-s4303r-continuous-rotation-servo.html) - [Power HD AR-3606HB](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-hd-continuous-rotation-servo-ar-3606hb.html) - [Feetech FS5106R](https://core-electronics.com.au/feetech-continuous-rotation-servo-fs5106r.html) **People often buy this product together with:** | [![0.100" (2.54 mm) Breakaway Male Header: 1×40-Pin, Straight, Double-Sided](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J1038.100.jpg?cc07f6781ee69ecdcb12b07109cc6d18)](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight-double-sided.html) | [0.100" (2.54 mm) Breakaway Male Header: 1×40-Pin, Straight, Double-Sided](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight-double-sided.html) | |---|---| | [![Solarbotics SW-B BLACK Servo Wheel with Encoder Stripes, Silicone Tire](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J2437.100.jpg?ab85e925a56f8f52b29c9cc184022af3)](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-b-black-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html) | [Solarbotics SW-B BLACK Servo Wheel with Encoder Stripes, Silicone Tire](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-b-black-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html) | |---|---| | [![Solarbotics SW-R RED Servo Wheel with Encoder Stripes, Silicone Tire](https://a.pololu-files.com/picture/0J2455.100.jpg?532894638e9dc037bb476d841f2d8f2f)](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-r-red-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html) | [Solarbotics SW-R RED Servo Wheel with Encoder Stripes, Silicone Tire](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-sw-r-red-servo-wheel-with-encoder-stripes-silicone-tire.html) | |---|---| **Dimensions** | Size: | 2-5/8" diameter, 0.3" wide | |---|---| **General specifications** | Color: | yellow | |---|---| ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/s/o/solarbotics_sw_y_yellow_servo_wheel_with_encoder_stripes_silicone_tire__pololu_1194__00.jpg)
