Does anyone know where I can get these to fit an HL Tiger 1?
I can find the late wheels easiy, but not early ones.
I'm preferably looking for a seller in the UK and they need to fit the new metal tub.
Cheers for any help guys,
Rik

Hi Rik Tankzone do a set to replace the Tamiya Tiger 1 plastic wheels. Very nice but also expensive and you would have to mod a HL to accept the larger diameter wheel shafts. All the best for now

I'm not sure if the Tamiya wheels will fit. I seem to recall that the Tam wheels are slightly bigger and the HL's shorter suspension arms cause problems.

Thanks for the advice guys, I guess if I want metal, it'll have to be the late wheels.
My tiger will be a bit of a mash-up of mid and late parts, mostly to replicate the commander using whatever parts could be found.
Cheers,
Rik
