I think the wheels I have in a box must be Behotecs having looked at them online, but my goodness are they heavy! Have you flown yours yet and any trouble with the gear retracting? All that weight moving against the airflow including a 90 degree rotation has got to be a lot for the air cylinders to handle.
I am going to install the Dubro wheels. Yes it feels wrong, but I'm going to take Andreas' word for it.
