WANTED: 1/16 1100X18 DUKW Wheels & Tires

[Max-U52]

The stock wpl wheels you have coming will work, but I'm sure you'd rather have the correct combat tread, right? Tiger 6, Wibbs or Alwyn would be the guys I'd want to ask about that, they've all designed tires that should work, and if you have someone to print them for you you're good to go.

Max U-52, you are 100% correct! I would rather the correct tread.

Hi Jack,

I'm not sure you'll find the correct shape anchor straight out of the box, if you look at model boat items again search for ' danforth anchor ' select the appropriate size that you need and you've got a good base to work from and modify, that's what I did with mine

Cheers, Lee.

I’ve got access to some of Martins files so been having a play....65mm diamond t tyre and modified hub...

The tyres seem to be an odd size, listed as 11.00 x 18 in TM 9-2800

What diameter and width tyre do you need? I may have an idea!

I have a tyre which is 19mm width which is 2mm overly wide & of of tyre 73.5mm which is 4mm overly big on od. It also has correct tread pattern and is readily available.
If you can live with that i send a link where to buy

Frankie, I really like the looks of that wheel and tire combination that you made. It looks like a winner to me!

I'd like to thank everyone for the input on the tires. Your help is most appreciated.
