Sounds like a lot of work, possibly someone this weekend could check for WSN TIGER wheels. They are a great set of wheels as they are rubber lined and individually spaced. Maybe some one has upgraded to metal and will have a set to sell reasonably cheap. They do work well.

cheers Blake

Wayne, the set I am talking about are the factory set that came on the older Tigers. Their plastic but much better detail. Another member sent me a set several months back. I use DU-BRO 3.5mm shoulder bolts for axles and tapped the control arms to the same thread. Which lower hull do you have? I've used the Asiatam Tiger Hull but the H/L hull with metal control arms can be set up with threaded control arms. What part of the country do you live in now? Blake
