ah i see. Thanks. Just for drills and stuff i think modifying any descent sized wheels for drils could be alright. Or improving red wheels to a entent.
Just bot some ali plate round 5mm to the front, run teh right tap through the middle of the ali and screw it onto a wheel.
thats the plan anyway's. . will stick with red wheels for now. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Do you have any plans to make other diameters? I would be interested in some 75 mm dia wheels.

Yes, custom wheels would be great if you can do them. I would like to get new tread cast on to existing large diameter hubs. The hubs are around 85mm diameter. A new 10mm thick by 38mm wide urethane tread would be awesome. The hub needs a quick bit of lathe work and has plenty of anchoring for the new tread. I am happy to buy the material for the mould if you need it. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Ok time for more wheel newz
we can do custom wheel sizes and colours.
Minimum order for a different colour is 4 wheels, and an extra $15 for the pigment.
we can also do custom sizes cost is $40 for the mould and $25 for the wheel (unless it is getting much larger). We can go up to 200mm but at that size the squidgyness may be too much to take, we are investigating different harder compounds so those with larger than average wheel needs arent discriminated against.
we are bringing out 80mm wheels as part of our standard line so you can order that size at no additional cost. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

If we are to send you a hub for the wheels, will you mould the urathane onto them at a cheaper cost?
I'm thinking about making some 80-100mm diameter aluminium hubs and would like to have 20mm of that soft grippy urathane bonded on _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

we can do that
basically thats whats on Plan-B
we will need to make a spindle up to fit your hub and depending on the size and thickness a new mould. The 95 mm wheels are only 20mm thick.
if you want to send me a picture/sketch of what you have in mind we can come up with a better idea of price.
Once we are set up the per wheel cost would probbly be cheaper but we need to see how much is needed. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

$15 per pigment minimum of 4 wheels per pigment.
so you need say 4 wheels in orange and 4 in yellow.
no swilry stuff
solid colours only at this stage
we can make them wider but it will cost more depending on size.
We can do anything you want for the right price ;-> _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

i dont think thats what he meant jake. i think he wanted a mixture or yellow and orange pigmented swirling or something and my impression was 4 only not 4 of each.
Wayde will have to say what he meant but thats what i thought it was. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics
