no only made from bright steel
They arent fancy just a bit of bright steel cust to length then i run a weld down to a line i put on them on each side then i drill a 1/4 hole right through them then run a bigger drill 3/4s of the way through and tap it to the drill motor thread then i file the welds to the same size as the little lugs on the origional black centers ..i only used bright steel as i didnt want any hardening after welding it so i could drill and tap it later i did the welding first other wise it would distort the threads if i did the drilling and taping first

Thanks, Big fella.
Would you be able to tell me the OD, please?
Andrew A, would you be able to bring four spares with you to HOC? How much are they? _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

I would like to try to jam them into a RC wheel. I might try to drop in on Marshal tomorrow and grab a spare wheel or two.
Could a washer be welded onto the end to attach to the wheel hub? _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

also looks like two of the guys who were here last time are going to build bots too.
there is also a bloke at work who's only seen them on tv who is also building a bot. _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.

I havnent decided what im doing yet dont realy have any bots ready to run Am working on the cheese at the moment for robo wars i guese sproing is a goer but if it gets damaged i wont get the time to repair it for robo wars with the kids being on holidays now will have a chat with aron and mabee just come as spectators this time
It's up to you guys who have to travel and/or are attending Robowars3 as to whether we are on or not.
The days are hitting a steady 35C and that may be just a little 'too' uncomfortable in the tin sheds.
-at this stage, Marauder is the only confirmed bot ! _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.

You have to come. It would be a crime against robots if Sproing does not run.
We could just have a meet for fun. IE we could just choose the fights we want so that we don't have to take any unwanted damage.

That gives me a good chance of winning. (if my wheels don't fall off.) _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
