Ron Gray Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Following the build of the WR FW190 and the build of the launch dolly for it, I've been asked if I would make some of these for sale, so here it is. The following photos show the prototype for which I used C/F tubes but the production version has plastic (electric conduit) tubes instead. The frame measures approx 600mm x 600mm but the fittings can be positioned to suit the model it will be used for, in fact if you use screws to attach the fittings it can be adjustable to suit a range of models. There are 2 options for purchase, one with wheels and the other without as there are those who may have a stash of old wheels that could be used. If supplied with wheels the fronts are 6" dia and the rear 3". The foam support pads are included and the rear one is left ready for you to form a cut out to suit your model. The 3D printed parts are ASA so they should be OK for all weathers! Note that the following photo doesn't have the front nose support but that is in the kits plus it uses C/F tubes for the frame whereas the kits have white plastic tubes. The 3D printed parts Prices (inc UK P&P) as follows: Kit 1 - £45 Plastic tube 600mm x 2 Front wheels 6" x 2 Rear wheel 3" x 1 Front wheel bracket / wing supports with foam pads x 2 Rear wheel bracket / tail support with foam pad x 1 Front nose support with foam pad x 1 Fittings - nuts and bolts for wheel axles and wheel spacers. Kit 2 - £30 As above less wheels and fittings. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wihtgar Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 How do you manage to remove the hubs from the front wheels Ron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 If you mean the shopping trolley wheels then you pride them out from the inside. I then 3D print new inserts to take the axle bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
