Product Information

Building and flying RC airplanes has come a long way in 50 years. Dubro hobby products are highly rated among enthusiasts and are entirely made in America. One of the company’s most popular RC offerings is its line of RC airplane wheels and accessories. Dubro is top among its competitors in wheel and gear products designed for RC planes. Replacement wheels ensure that remote-controlled electric and nitro plane models come in for smooth landings on any surface, including dirt and grass. The Dubro vintage-style airplane wheel series is modeled after the wheels of early WWI aircraft. Most World War I RC planes are biplanes, and it's important to the hobbyist to keep the full character of the model. Each 1/8-scale vintage black rubber tire is non-tread. The cast tires are made of durable, lightweight, solid foam material that keeps the plane from flipping or slipping during landing. They are mounted on a molded ABS plastic hub. Each tire is internally secured to the ABS plastic hub with connectors. The hub is designed and intended to be painted. A downloadable, scale to fit, paint masking template is available on the company’s website. It is meant to assist you in customizing your wheel hubs to match your aircraft. It’s fun and easy to build authentic vintage aircraft scale models, right down to selecting, painting, and assembling the wheels. Dubro 350V 1/8 scale 3.5-inch diameter vintage plane tires are 1-inch wide. The wheels weigh approximately 1.13 ounces each. The 1/8 scale vintage wheels come two to a package and are intended for installation on the model’s landing gear. The one-piece, high-strength, stock landing gear absorbs the shock of each touchdown. Like the wheel hubs, the landing gear may also be painted to match the plane’s theme. The landing gear is easy to install but typically comes dimpled and not pre-drilled. The stock 1/8-inch diameter axle hole may be drilled out to 3/16-inch so that the plane’s wheel assembly can be securely attached. Du-bro 350-volt 1/8 scale 3.5-inch diameter Vintage RC airplane wheels are proven to be lightweight and durable. They are designed to fit multiple servos with some adjustment. You can also customize them using paint to match your model. In addition, Dubro offers the necessary hardware and accessories to complete your assembly. Socket and butthead screws come in both metric and standard sizes as well as nuts, bolts, and fasteners. Also available are non-strip, micro-wheel, and nickel-plated brass dura-collars, landing gears, and other stock accessories. There is a variety of other styles of vintage wheels as well.
