[Wheelman Users] Wheelman Club Russia
Никита Чернов
Greetings from Russia, I've read some posts you discussed your forum -
wheelmanclub.ru
If you still have some questions about our club, vehicles,
modifications, I'm ready to answer it :)
We are working on some kind of wiki, here you can find it:
http://wheelmanclub.ru/groups/wheelmanclub/
Not ready yet and it all in Russian but it is not so bad with Google
translator. Most interesting articles are tuning and repair of
outback, unfortunately it is the most widespread wheelman here (we
have a couple of koosko and g-wheels too).
The greatest tuning, I think, it's changing the gear ratio - max speed
of our wheelmans is about 45 km/h. All you need is just swap default
sprockets in reducer and enlarge hole in one of them, you'll find
blueprints in wiki.
Our classification of wheelman is good too, some information I found
in your "History" so thanks a lot, it was useful!
Also you can ask me about new Chinese g-wheel 2, in China it's called
REVO (similar to the name of new Tami - Wheelman INO). We’ve already
tested a couple. Overall it's good and strong but steering is
EXTREMELY AWFUL, and the tires are tubeless, but not like in X-Mecha,
this tires is completely tubeless - they are not inflatable (like go-
ped sport) just big pieces of rubber and you feeling every roughness
of pavement (off-road use impossible because of steering).
Good news - it haven't got rollers - the rims is a big ball bearing,
bad news - it is made from plastic, rims and balls both. It has been
working smooth for now but how it will carry in future? And about the
price, unfortunately it costs more than g-wheel, and not because of
“new” factor, but because of new rims and bearing system – it’s
ordered from another manufacture so it makes price higher. Perhaps
they even stop to produce Revo soon and will just manufacture G-
Wheels.
I've already uploaded some photos, strange you haven't commented it :)
cheers

thanks for the info on that revo model
i like the idea of the inner rim though,its a pity that its just
plastic it sounds like its trouble waiting to happen
also the steering does not look to be very flexible.
i do like the drive system,the gearing looks simpler than the other
model
also how do you rate the xmecha for strength, also new brake system?,
the rollers are made from a different material are they better? and
whats the motor power
i will probably never see one of these models in australia so
all in all how do you rate these wheelmans out of 10
whats your opinion on which is the best wheelman that has ever been
manufactured
cheers lee

lift the front wheel off the ground, the other part of wheelman (with
engine) just falls, and you fall too.
It has two hinges:

I'll make a video soon, to show it.
The other trouble with this revo: the front wheel breaks off XD
http://img2.pict.com/2d/a5/38/3557925/0/img0280.jpg
This has happened with 2 of our 3 revos, we contacted the dealer in
china, and they admit the problem. They sad that bolts were damaged
when it has been red-hotted , and as they found out it, they changed
supplier. So they solved it and our black revo is the prove because it
was really hard riding at it is ok, instead of two yellows which was
ridden ones and they cracked immediately.
Drive system and max speed is really good.
About models of wheelman. We ride only outbacks, g-wheel and kooskos,
revo, so I can judge tami and x-mecha only by pictures.
X-mecha is really good, because it's engine, roller tensioner, v-belt,
and brake (I think it's awesome)
but if you check it website, you'll find some troubles, like this:
http://img2.pict.com/3f/b4/be/3557993/0/crash92.jpg
so, it's not strong enough, and it footplates are bad
another pict, which prove it:
http://img2.pict.com/06/95/80/3558013/0/800/dsc02346.jpg
here is a good hand-made footplates
I think the strongest one is Tami, here is 2003 model
http://img2.pict.com/30/9e/ae/3558018/0/5ebaa85.jpg
5 guys on it!!! But I think here it also have some hand-made
footplates
And all stunt video which I found is all made with Tami, 2003 or 2005
model - they all are good.
I've read all discussions here, and didn't find any mentioning of 2009
Tami - Wheelman INO

It has aluminum case and ball-bearing rims, but the price!! It's even
more expensive than X-mecha.
By the way, X-mecha now also have a ball-bearing rims

and aluminum body

Also I found out that you are interesting here of Tami "aluminum-body"
