Posted 2 Nov 2017 The Tail wheel steering arms that come with the Matco 8" pneumatic TW are 45 degree arms that wont release the wheel within the normal rudder range, there are modified arms that release at 25 degrees: The wheel is $255 from Matco, new, and the extra arms are about $20 I think. I put this wheel on a year ago and it is great, especially as compared to the Maul 6" hockey puck it replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Nov 2017 (edited) I love my Matco 8" tail wheel, but hated the super cheap Chinese tire it came with. The tire was almost junk in 50 hours of pavement use. I replaced the tire with a 6-ply tire from Desser that is much better. Oem tire $38. Desser tire $42. $4 easily justified. New tire and Grove tail spring installed.
