bobss396 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Do you want plastic, resin or aluminum. JPS makes great aluminum ones but a bit costly. Resin makers like Perrys Resins makes a good variety of them. Plastic ones you'd have to either buy a kit to harvest them or hope to score some at a model swap meet.

DarylH Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Resin is a liquid + catalyst compound used to mould parts. Resin parts can be worked like plastic but must be glued with epoxy or super glues. Some plastic wheels here; ......Pegasus is a popular choice.... http://www.rchobbies.org/pegasus-pg2.htm also many guys buy kits to use the wheels from them on other kits.

LDO Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 You can get some nice Torque Thrust IIs out of Revell's '94 Impala SS lowrider version. I found that kit on sale at Wal-Mart a while back and bought several, just for the wheels. If I remember correctly, the old Monogram '87 Thunderbird Pro/Stock kit has Weld Pro Stars. I could be wrong, so verify that before you go on eBay and buy one. DarylH mentioned people buying kits just to get parts...that's what I did. There are other forums out there, but many of us feel that this is the best site for serious model builders. A lot of hard-core builders, a minimum of junk posts to wade through. Any time you're looking for info, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
