My friend builds inexpensive foam board RC planes and wanted some bigger wheels (4" or larger) to land and take off on grass. I initially found a spiral wheel on Thingiverse that looked great and had some spring to it. Upsized it 150%. It worked but failed on taxiing as soon as a side load was applied. Once I realized I didn't need suspension in the wheel itself I popped out a quick wheel in TinkerCad. Weighs the same as the spiral. About 32 grams. New wheel has seen some hard landings and floats great on rough terrain.
