Description
The DU-BRO Treaded Lightweight J-3 Cub Wheels are the perfect finishing touch for anyone building or restoring a J-3 Cub–style RC airplane. Designed to capture the classic look of the full-scale Cub, these wheels bring authentic scale detail while keeping your aircraft light, strong, and easy to handle.
Each wheel features a foam interior for excellent shock absorption and a rugged outer skin for durability on grass, pavement, or dirt runways. This combination keeps the wheel lightweight while providing long-lasting performance—ideal for sport flying, scale flying, and everyday use.
One of the standout features of these wheels is their bolt-together hubs, which allow easy assembly and maintenance. They also include realistic Cub-style wheel covers that instantly give your airplane a true vintage look. If you prefer a different appearance, the wheels can be used without the Cub caps, making them perfect for other vintage airplanes, bush-style models, or tundra aircraft that need a classic, rugged appearance.
