Ok, after a long string of technical difficulties and general apathy about the whole design at home thing... I am trying to make a slow crawl back into it. I will be revising past files here and there as I go but for now I am going to try to stick with stuff that I want (I'm much happier that way).
So, after looking over all of my busted sets of wheels I've collected over the years, I decided to step into the wheel market. My F1 wheels have held up perfectly so far so I figured to make some 2WD racer wheels.
These are 20mm tall, 11 & 8.5mm wide. Available in half offsets and yes, I did make 3.5 and 4 offsets! Wheel construction is simple and hopefully sturdier than anything else out there. I wanted one-time buy wheels so I wasn't too concerned about weight, more concerned about durability. I've only made them available in white material because I know it's real easy to color these yourselves with a sharpie or a vat of dye.
Hopefully these work out for many of you and hopefully I'll be ordering myself a set this month.
Now... When I fit my bearings into my F1 wheels last year, it was a little tight but with a little simple scratching with an exacto, the fitment was perfect. The bearings will stick out of the holes a bit but I prefer that to having them recessed... less chance for power robbing rub.
There up in my shop now under "Random Goodies". Best of luck and please let me know what you think!
No fine print here, just the facts!
I am in no way, shape or form responsible for production or shipping or manufacturing quality of these products. All I can say is that it took 15 days to show up at my house after I ordered it and the quality is top-notch! Shapeways has an excellent record of part quality which is one of the major reasons I went with them for this stuff.
