Re: Lego wheel adaptors
Mick this is a very helpful link,
After viewing I went to the Home page of
http://www.robotgear.com.au
And found 3 pages of "Wheel Mounts" of all sizes,
Just click on "Mechanics",
well worth a look.

Re: Lego wheel adaptors
That looks good, it just means we need to make some lego hubcaps to cover the ugly lego wheels

Re: Lego wheel adaptors
Nothing at all. Although maybe a other project for the lathe and make some nice alloy hubs.

Will When I put out suggestions to someone on the Forum I am really addressing everyone most of whom do not have access to a lathe (If Only) otherwise I would "PM" them.

Re: Lego wheel adaptors
No problems
If more of us were able to pick up a lathe for £60 then more of us would certainly own a lathe hehe
Anyway it is a great find and will help many for sure.

Re: Lego wheel adaptors
Once my adaptors arrive I will get them tested and let you know.
Another project due to arrive which is a 1/16 Scania 6x4. I want to use twin lots of the Tamiya twin motor drive. That should give me enough pulling power for a road based tank transporter. Let's hope these adaptors can handle the torque!
As for wheels I just need to find a close size Lego wheel to the Scania wheel. Then gonna turn off the outer part of the wheel and glue the centre onto the Lego wheel. Good looking wheel then

Re: Lego wheel adaptors
Because http://www.robotgear.com.au only sell in the Australia and New Zealand area the better alternative in the UK is
http://www.proto-pic.co.uk
They are selling the Lego 3mm wheel adapters for £2-72 a pair plus £1-50 postage.

They should, but think there are better things available on thingiverse, shapeways, and ebay now.Meatball9584 wrote:Would these adapters work with the wpl trucks then?
