Originally posted by T-CAT View PostIt appears that the PJ50 Main tires are the same exact wheel as the Freewing Avanti 80mm EDF jet Nose tire, which are about 65mm in diameter. On the spare parts page of the PJ50 product page on Motion RC's website, the Main tires of the PJ50 is listed as using the Avanti 70mm diameter Main tires, which appears to be incorrect (hopefully this helps them identify the problem and fix it easily on their website).
An idea put forth by "mshagg" about the Eflite Viper tires with their ball bearing centers got me thinking about trying to mitigate the "roller skate" noise of the stock wheels. Fixes like using oil or grease on the axles are only temporary. The Viper wheels are also 70mm but are slightly wider. This makes it impossible to apply the "C" clip onto the axle to hold the wheels on. A new, slightly longer axle need to be machined to deal with this. For the time being, I'll live with the "squeaky" wheels.

FedEx has been terrible here recently.
