I need some help on some RC Component wheels I just got. They have a cushion drive like the stock wheels, except one side of the cushion is thicker than the other. Does it matter which way the cushions are installed? I can't post up pics right now or I would.

Having a hard time visualizing this. Pics will help when you can post them up.

OK,here is a picture of what I'm talking about. If you are looking at the hub, do the cushions go in like the one on the left, or the one on the right? One side of the rubber is thicker, but I don't know why.

Crap. That's a new one on me. If it were me, though, I'd think that you'd want the thicker side toward the side the sprocket is pushing on. In other words, thick side toward the front, eh?

I'm just guessing, though. Someone else will most likely know.

Yes thick side towards load. Another words on the top of the hub the thick side will be towards the front of the bike then follow that pattern all the way around...:thumbsup:

The thicker side goes in the same directions as the drive of the wheel!
