Help with finding tires

Post by ncrebel »

Hi everyone, my name is Scott.

A few years ago, I bought a JJRC Q61, and the 2 main reasons I bought this RC was 1. by the shape of the front end, I knew this was an International Harvester KR-11, and with some work and modding I have made it look like one from WW2, the second reason is this is my first RC ever, I just was not into them as a kid.
Anyway, like I said my RC looks like a WW2 I.H. KR-11, BUT I cannot find any WW2 US Military RC tires that will fit the rims for the JJRC Q61, this is the 3rd year of trying to find tires for my RC so it can be 100% done.

I`m looking for rubber tire, not to hard, made of silicone rubber but ok if its made of something else.
Would appreciate it if someone knew where could buy some or knew someone who could make some for me.

Thank You
Pics of my RC coming soon, with Pics of the WW2 Ben Hur trailer I made for it.

Good Evening,
Cultivating a 3D Print site like Shapeways might help you out. The tires and wheels for mine were 3D printed by a Forum member here who has since moved on. Go to our 'Introductions' and tell us a little more about yourself and show some pics of your hard work. We're always ready to chat and kick the virtual road wheels here. Knowledgeable folks are thick on the ground.
regards,
Painless

Painless Wolf is referring to one of the customs here on RCTW: starting in by posting an introduction at the "Introduce Yourself" section, viewforum.php?f=42. You have an introduction all set here to copy--and please do add some photos of the International :clap: . Doing so will get you attention to your question and will please many. And while I am drooling, waiting to see your truck, I am going to look up the IH KR-11. :think: I know the IH farm equipment since long before Case-IH happened, but I do not know the trucks well.
