ABC Auto Industry Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 I was looking at a thread on a heavy equipment forum (there was a similar thread somewhere on this forum, too, but I lost it) about abandoned logging equipment, and I noticed that there were multiple trucks with what appeared to be Clark planetary hubs on the rear wheels, so I'm wondering: does any company make any resin planetary hubs for big rigs? I know AITM (now Keystone) had these super heavy-duty wheels and tires with Rockwell and generic planetary hubs, but I don't think those could be separated from the wheels...at least, not to my knowledge.

A while back I made this axle. I think Charles has the file (Texas 3D Customs) if not, I can send it to him. It has these tires to go with it: I also have this axle I have been working on for a while. It is from a Scania Truck. I have the complete chassis, axles, engine, trans, frame etc. I have a complete truck minus the cab. Post some pictures of what you are looking for. Anything is possible. I hope to be able to expand the heavy truck offerings this next year.
Oldmopars Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Oh, I forgot about this. Its a 14x24 military style wheel and tire I drew. I still need to draw the rears to match, but this would be along the heavy duty line you are looking for.
ABC Auto Industry Posted January 1, 2023 Author Posted January 1, 2023 Yeah, I saw the front axle in the other thread. Those 14 x 24 military-style wheels would be PERFECT for this project I have in mind. As for planetaries, I was thinking more in line of the Rockwell PS250 or the Clark 20-ton planetaries that were commonly used by monster trucks. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way I can get the Clark 20-tons is if I rip them off from a newer Monster Jam kit such as Jurassic Attack.
Force Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Kit Form Services has some hub reductions, mostly European but some might work for you.
