Parkzone cub front wheels but what rear wheel?

[martin34]

Hi guys.I am new here and I am ordering my sc on payday.I hate small wheels and I am going to fit parkzone fun cub wheels to the front but what about the rear.It seems 1" is the most common size so I take it 1" rear is best?

The ones we're rocking are 1.25".

I have used both sizes and I can't really say that either is better than the other on the tail wheel. I have not had my tail wheel snag any grass, but I have had the front ones do such. Me, I believe it is more about what you like best in the looks of that wheel at the aft of the plane. Some folk love the thinner front wheels or even larger ones, but this is what seemed to work best for my preferances.  Good luck on your choice. The wheels are relatively cheap, so you can change them later if they don't seem to be working toward meeting your specific needs.

I forgot, but there is a mod for the axle when installing the front larger wheels. I have posted it before. It involves cutting a spray bottle tube and installing the small piece of that onto the front axle. It will take up the slack in the wheel and not be noticible.

Thanks guys.I have seen the spray bottle tube mod and I will use it if I need to.I am not sure how the spot cub wheels fit the super cub as I have neither the plane or the wheels yet.The fronts are 3 1/2" so deffinatley 1" or 1 1/2" should look good.
