These heavy duty wheels have a diameter of 4” and a width of 1”. They have a hard inner plastic core and a smooth outer rubber tire. These wheels utilize the .77” hub pattern and are ideal for any larger robot you create.
Actobotics is a robotics building system based around extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to the two standardized hole patterns, nearly all Actobotics components can be intuitively connected together. The wide range of components makes building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects a reality.
This skill concerns mechanical and robotics knowledge. You may need to know how mechanical parts interact, how motors work, or how to use motor drivers and controllers.
Skill Level: Noob - You will be required to put together a robotics kit. Necessary parts are included and steps will be easy to follow. You also might encounter basic robotics components like bearings, mounts, or other hardware and need a general idea of how it goes together.

Very nice wheels, heavy duty as advertised. Good construction quality. The smooth rubber tread has good traction. Most retail vendors were out of stock on these wheels but Sparkfun had them in stock and for a good price.
What screws can fit through the holes on the wheels? The product page says it's .140" inches in diameter. Also, is there a mounting hub that I can use with this product and a 4mm diameter motor shaft? I just wanna stick the mounting hub on the motor shaft and have the mounting hub connected to the wheel.
Sparkfun chat support helped me out, it's this one: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12157
