Bluebrixx XL Wheels

Since it is quite "hard" to buy train wheels in injection molding technology in Europe, I was very curious about the new XL wheels at BlueBrixx.

 

And I must say: great, better than any 3D-printed wheel, which I had so far in my hand.

 

- Clamping force of the cross axle fits

- Pin hole fits

- flange wheel with groove for a rubber band (this groove is missing at the BigBenBricks XL wheels....)

- Surface very good, no comparison with 3D printed wheels

 

I would still wish that the wheels are not so wide. The width is the same to the smaller Lego L wheels and also the BigBenBricks XL wheels. But I would prefer something narrower ;-)

 

Overall from price / performance absolutely recommendable. If now other sizes like XXL and M would be available, the wheel problem in Europe would be solved ...

 

Disclaimer: I do not have to be a fan of Bluebrixx now. But in the area of trains, they definitely do more than Lego. I won't buy sets there, but in the wheels topic, I just see the company as another wheel manufacturer.
