airless tire hub and tire

thingiverse

I wasn't sold on how the original hub worked with the source hub, so I created my own non-flexible hub that fits snugly into the wheel. It's designed to utilize 684ZZ EZO bearings just like the designer intended. Originally, it was meant for the Ranger RX RC airplane, but it can be used in a wide range of applications. AuHouHz deserves all the credit for creating the tire, as I simply developed the hub. That's why I didn't include the original tire files - you should download them from him instead. The skinny version is just 50% scaled down to reduce weight, and I was thrilled with the outcome. The tire is printed with Ninjaflex 85A and performs amazingly well. In contrast, the hub is a simple PLA print that fits perfectly into place. In the future, I plan to scale down the overall size for smaller RC models, but for now, this is a massive 117mm wheel with an incredibly soft feel.
