Idea for wheelie bar wheels

[jsimmons]

If you make your own wheelies bars for dragsters, would the wheels/tires from a 1/64 or 1/87-scale car be appropriate? Just thinkin' out loud...

I think somebody posted here to use O rings.

Also, don't be afraid to go into the scrapbooking/jewelry section of your local craft store/box-chain retailer. Some of the craft/jewelry beads are a fairly close size to what wheelie bar wheels would be scale-wise and even come in different colors if you wish to replicate a certain look other than aluminum/black.

I use rubber 0-rings in the correct diameter of the rubber, itself...Not the ring. I slice the o-ring to the correct thickness, and you've got a real rubber wheel.

I saw my grandson playing with this little scale skate board with perfect removable wheels that look almost like wheelie bar wheels. They come off of the skate board axles with a nut and are in various sizes in a parts pack at the toy and big box stores. Could probably use the axle too for the end of the wheelie bar that holds the wheels to the ground. Just my 2 cents on this subject. Patrick M
