Greg, Can you tell if the vehicle runs better when there is air inside the tyres or when they're "flat"? I emptied the tyres flat in my Daimler-in-progress, hoping there'll be more traction, better suspension to shocks and because I have seen all large RC buggies and monster tracks' wheels . they contain no more than foam inside the tyres. Still looking gorgeous though. I love improvised metalworks. With very minor adaptions or none, - or with flexible judges- you could apply for a designation number and pass it as a Greyhound. It's got these same sloping fenders. Chrys ----- Original Message ----- From: Guy Gregoire To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 7:52 PM Subject: [TANKS] Re: your recon vehicle
Hi Chris 1- The wheels I use for my Recon are from two-wheeler buggy you can find at any hardware store, yes I bought 3 of them to have my six wheels. I have verify the wheel themself without the buggy, but it was cheaper to buy 3 complete items than 6 replacement part, its how the world work these days. The wheels are nine inches diameter. 2- The wheels came on hub that are like 2 dish bolted together, with bearings at the bore. there is as you see on picture "Recon4" four bolts in the center to hold the two side together. Inside the wheels there is an air tube. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
