Fingertech Lightweight Twist Hubs

FingerTech Lightweight Twist Hubs Designed for combat robotics, FingerTech’s Lightweight Twist Hubs offer a reliable, low-cost solution to secure your wheels while reducing weight for enhanced robot performance. The FingerTech Lightweight Twist Hubs are perfect for mounting your FingerTech Foam Wheels and provide the same great benefits as the aluminum versions but at a lower weight and price point. These hubs are ideal for combat robots where every gram counts, and they help you get the most out of your robot without compromising performance. Why Choose FingerTech Lightweight Twist Hubs? Affordable and Lightweight: These hubs are injection-molded from glass-fiber nylon, offering strength without the heavy cost of metal alternatives. Enhanced Performance: The lightweight nature reduces the overall weight of your robot, which is critical in weight-class competitions where every ounce counts. Secure Mounting: The custom locking washer ensures your foam tire stays securely in place, while lengthwise fins prevent tire slippage even without compression. Includes a metal threaded insert so you can really crank down the setscrew. Simple Installation: The hubs are easily mounted with FingerTech Foam Wheels (or compatible Lite Flites), and a strong 8-32 setscrew secures the hub to the motor shaft for a tight fit. Perfect Fit for Combat Robots These hubs are ideal for high-impact combat robotics, where foam wheels are preferred for absorbing shocks and protecting your drive motor gearboxes. These hubs provide a simple and efficient way to mount your tires. Lightweight Twist Hubs are available in two sizes (0.50in and 0.75in) and are perfect for reducing robot weight, optimizing speed, and improving overall maneuverability. However, please note that the lightweight version is only available with a 3mm shaft bore, so make sure to choose the correct size for your setup: bore must match the motor shaft, and thickness (width) must match your wheel thickness. These hubs are a great way to enhance your robot’s performance without breaking the bank. Ready to reduce weight and increase speed? The FingerTech Lightweight Twist Hubs will give you the competitive edge you need in the arena!
