Du-Bro 2-1/2" Super Lite RC Wheels (Pair) – Lightweight Foam for Park Flyers

The Du-Bro 250SL Super Lite Wheel set includes two 2.5-inch diameter wheels engineered for weight-conscious RC aircraft. Each wheel features a closed-cell foam tire with a sculpted tread, mounted on a nylon hub. Total weight for the pair is only 0.11 pounds (approximately 50 grams), making them among the lightest options available for park flyers and small gas models. They come unfinished so you can paint them to match your airplane's color scheme or leave them as is.

What makes these wheels super light?

The key is the material combination. The closed-cell foam is both firm and light, providing a cushioned landing without the weight of traditional rubber or solid foam wheels. The nylon hub replaces heavier metal or plastic hubs. Du-Bro states these are the lightest wheels they have ever produced, making them a good choice for models where weight savings are critical.
