So sense in VRC we can now use flex wheels. Are there some that are restricted from us to use. And how are we supposed to used the 3 and 4 inch ones if you have to use the versa hub thing. Does it then use the adapters for our shafts?

You have two choices of wheel sizes, each size comes in three flex/sticky factors. You use the vexhex adaptor to go from the hex opening to the square shafts. So I read it as the 1.6" and two inch wheels are legal.

Seems like a lot of…

Ok thank you. That’s what I thought but I just wanted to make sure.

I’d actually doubt that it is an oversight, judging on how everything including product, photo and number of products have been changed. It also added 5" wheels saying that it is “coming soon”, so larger sized compliant wheels might have became legal as well. Time for more op intakes

I think 20a-40a (depending on how far apart your intakes are) if ur using deploying intakes because if they aren’t soft enough, they will just do the same things as regular wheels and push the intakes apart. Maybe that would be better but idk cuz it kind of defeats the purpose of having compliant wh…

where does it say that the flex wheels are legal for VRC? I cant find it anywhere
