I see , I'm doing the exact with the truck rears I'm making for the 14th scale . I was trying to use the tamiya insides but not sure they will work . I have torn they're pot metal gears apart on my heavy haul tractor . You'll have to look beyond most local hobby shops for the right stuff . I found this place , http://www.qtcgears.com to get my id ring gear for my twins . they're close in price as the 1 Ari gave me a link to .

A lot of drilling and indexing but looks great! Did you tap each hole or use non-threaded bolt heads or what? I have a similar situation with my Payhauler hubs that require wheel studs with clamps and nuts and am always looking for ideas on different ways to do things. Your craftsmanship is amazing!

Thanks for the link Steve. I'll have to see what I can dig out of my "collection" but if I can't find anything useful I may order from them.

Thanks Ken, The holes are just drilled and the bolts pushed in. No threading! I know what you're saying with the wedges to hold the wheels on but I won't be doing that. I think my plan is to just bolt through the rim into the hub on these and just fake the wedges.
