Wheels for trucks

[Doomsdave]

There's been lots of discussion on how to mkae wheels lately.  I just discovered that McDonalds in the US is doing Tonka trucks this month.  They all have wonderful all-terrain type wheels that canbe removed for scratchbuild projects.  Picked up a few last weekend.  Heads-up for those interested.

Nice, but for those not in the USA (or disliking fast food - are those counted as true wargamers?  ) you can always try Ramshackle Games: good value for money!

You know, I seem to have noticed lego doing boxes with just wheels now. Maybe those could also have some use? (granted, I haven't looked closer at how realistic they are as I don't need them).

theres a range of tonka toys at home bargains 99p or 1-99 that have the same big removeable wheels which are on top of the normal large wheels. Some also have very useful rollcages.

Diameter of any of the wheels would be helpful

The spare tires have a 4cm diameter sre 2cm thick ,some have snow chains on them. The wheels on the vehicles are 3cm in diameter

vehicle bodies would be nice for Dark future etc... just with some more sensibly scaled wheels. So someone gets the wheels someone gets the bodies...everyone's happy!

Haha, I just saved the image for reference for future models, then read your comment!

I had the same thought after taking them out of the package.  They might just work for one-man type buggys.  The doors are scaled appropriately but the bodies are a little wacky/wonky.

Lose the chassis and kept the bodyshells, plasticcard floorpan and hotwheels wheels and you're good to go.


Or just post one to me I'll show you...
