Re: First Tamiya truck build, MACK Dump truck 6x6
That sprue is a 3d printed part actually, I designed it specifically for these wheels. Alot quicker to sprue them up that way when compared to using wax, they are pinned on one side and a hole on the other so I can stack as many as I want to. I also have a huge 6" diameter flask I am hoping I can fill up with a whole bunch of wheels and centers and lug nuts.
yes Im hoping I can offer the wheels for sale. I would like to have some more confidence in my castings before doing so, and I think alot of people would like to see these cast in brass for extra weight/traction. Which should not be a problem, just more money for material.
I have no idea what the cost would be on a set tho. I'd have to see how long it takes to even make a full set and if I would be cleaning them up and machining, or just selling the partially machined castings.
