Freightliner rims

[KJ790]

Would there be any interested in some alcoa Freightliner rims in 1/25 scale?

[Mr mopar]

Yes in 1/24 scale

[KJ790]

I could make them fit 1/24 scale wheels without a problem. I would make these as a complete set (steer wheels, inside drive wheels, outside drive wheels). I have these drawn up in CAD, and am making a few finishing tweaks to them, but I would need to pay someone to make 3D printed versions for me to make a mold of. I would need more people to show interest in something like this before I could invest in making these.

Put me down for a set of them.

[chuckyr]

You do know italeri already makes them, but I like the ones you show too.

Yes, theirs are the less popular "slanted slot" rims that Freightliner only offered as an option for a couple years.

[chuckyr]

OK. So the ones you are offering have been offered for a while?

[KJ790]

For almost 20 years. I wanted to build replicas of a couple trucks that have these rims, but there is nowhere to get scale models of them. When I found out the price to have masters 3D printed to build molds off of I decided it wasn't worth it unless other people were interested as well.

[Mr mopar]

I would only buy if there in 1/24 scale , I have a lot of the FLD's and FLC's that I could use them rims on.will you

be doing the rear ones too?

Yeah, I would be doing rear ones as well.

I can maken them 3D printed. They would fit Italeri tires. Sent PM for more info

With our club we have several types of rims for sale. Italeri tires will fit them. With some drawing I came up with this. If you can give me the measurements of the holes I can make them better. It can be 3D printed at a reasonable price. The surface is not entire flat but with some paint on it that problem can be solved.

Thanks, but I am already having my rims 3D printed locally. Once I get them I will be casting them in resin.

[Chad]

You can put me down for 2 sets.

I got the 3D printed pieces today. I need to clean them up a little and then make a mold.

[Petetrucker07]

those look good, i need to get a freightliner now

Nice I would buy 3 sets .

[Hessel Hemstra]

I guess we work the same area. I would not cast them in resin. Makes them heavy and more difficult to handle. They look good though.
