Outside rubber for FOA 1/6 Jagdpanther road wheels

Post by Despotes »

Where can I find one piece rubber that will fit on the Field of Armor Jagdpanther (RC) road wheels? Same as Panther BTW.
I haven't purchased the wheels yet, so I can't give a dimension. I'd much prefer a solid one piece so there's no chance of either end popping up. Thanks

It's possible to 3D print out of flexible rubber like filaments, such as TPU, not sure how smooth and uniform it would look, but it likely would work.

Attached is a pic of a 3D printed tyre for a Sherman.

I had to play around with the in-fill a bit to get the right balance of strength and flexibility.
