TAM vs Intairco Wheels and Brakes
Just wondering your thoughts on the two... To me, the Tam set looks nicer and they both seem to use the same type of braking system. Was wondering about the axle, is one more prone to bending because of thinkness than the other? It will be used on a 28lb airframe and I dont want to skim on this part of the deal. Thanks for any and all inputs.

Luis,
If you bend the axels. You should be more worry what else damage to the airframe...
3/16" axels is should be strong enough to handle 28lbs on the normal landing..

RE: TAM vs Intairco Wheels and Brakes
I have both and are both good
The Intaircos are very robust and have a braking system that utilizes 3 pistons that push against a wide rubber ring.
They are available with 1/4" or 3/16" axles. They are somewhat heavy.
I like the white finish on the Tams. They are lighter than the Intaircos and use O-ring type brakes. I have 3/16" axles on my set but I don't know if they are availble with 1/4"
