Well my carrier has to be 1/6th so the pzr3 track is out as it would be way too narrow so the 1/16th tiger1 track will have to do. I'm still debateing whether to use the 5 spoked wheels or re-work the master to a 6 spoked wheel. The only other 1/6th carrier being sold has the same 5 spoked wheels and it is a "one-of" item

that would take some doing, to be honest at a glance they look fine, i certainly did not count the spokes. are you going to run metal tracks ? and how do you propse to create the sprockets and diff setup ? suppose the rear plate hides it so you could use two motors,, ?

Harold use search and tipe in "five spoke road heels" and you will find threads showing five spoke wheels on carriers.

Wouldn't you know.....
Never fails.... after makeing and molding the new 6 spoke road wheel, I get informed from the guys with the real carriers that carriers came with both 5 and 6 spoke road wheels, some even with both 5 and 6 spoked wheels on the same carrier.... go figure!!!! |

No problems mix them up, more realistic give the knockers some thing to find and whinge about.

I used the search here for "five spoke road wheels" and find only my thread here. Does anyone have any pics or links to pics of carriers with five spoke road wheels?

Update:
I finally got some more work done on my carrier. With all the other projects I have on the go I kind of fell behind on this carrier. Here I have installed the forward bren and mount, added the dash, added the rear stowage bin, added the dual rifle rack, added the anit-aircraft bren mount and gun, added the spare bren and mount to the side wall of the carrier, and finally started on the 2 rear fuel tanks. Here are the pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
