RC Devil Burdock high end crawler wheels

RC Devil have announced the release of their new high end crawler wheels with dynamic low centre of gravity named Burdock. Using a revolutionary concept, the wheels are filled with 3mm lead balls, which automatically move with gravity to the lowest point in the wheel, resulting maximum grip and no oscillation caused by abruptly stopping the tire like in pendulum systems. The weight is variable weight by using more or less lead balls while wheel adapter uses distance shims for variable offset, with a possible offset on one wheel of 5mm. All metal parts have been manufactured from T6 7075 aluminium, with polycarbonate transparent discs for interior view in the wheel. The weight of the wheels without lead balls and tire is 125g, while the total weight of a wheel including lead balls and without tire is 245g. Available in wine-red and venom-green.
