You have to tip if you want the models to take requests
Also who cares, longer tread life.
We’re gonna need bigger gears, boys…
Check out some of these interesting sizes. I got the 9" roadies to try out.
The 2nd from the bottom are 12"
Damn… some good looking road tires in there.
I like the 10x2.5
Here’s what I’ve learned in their sizing schemes…
-
When they use X in the dimensions, it’s diameter by width.
-
When they use hyphen, it’s tire thickness and hub size.
So the 3.00-4 is 3" tire + 4" hub + 3" tire to get the total diameter, 10" wheel
Thought about casting instead of cnc?
The 10x2 and 10x2.5 are 5" hub tires, FYI.
Ah damn. Nvm
Just finished CAD for a V2 MegaDeep addressing some issues from the first version.
Main changes are :
- Filled in the old valve areas.
- New alignment features to add strength and make sure hubs are seated true.
- Removed spokes as they are no longer needed for alignment.
- Slight dish on outer face to help inner tube centre correctly.
Hopefully these changes should make the MegaDeep more robust and reliable. Below is an assembled view from the front and back showing clearly the offset.
My plan is to get one of these on print tonight to validate the fit then build a full set ready for some real world testing and abuse.
awesome work ! Can’t wait your feedback after testing
Good luck !
Yes, it looks like. But I haven’t test it yet.
10" center rims holes is D99mm > 11" is 101/102mm
10" center width is 45mm > 11" is 50mm
So it should be ok, just have to compresse a bit more the tire about 5mm … don’t think it should be an issue, but anyway I’m going 10" on the rear and maybe still 9" on the front …
Also didn’t know 9" MEGAstar are also compatible with 8" ! They make it like MBS 5star.
So 9" MEGAstar should fit : 6", 6.5", 7", 8", 9", 10" and 11" so !! (plus the offset option)
Nicely done, the MegaStars doesn’t have the interlocking slots of the SuperStars?
I am thinking of making the little valve area fill a stand alone piece that can be glued after, this way you don’t waste a ton of material in support
I thought this but it only takes the print from 38g to 44g so it hardly seems worth it for the effort. Bumps the time to a bit but I don’t mind that.
That offset is sexy AF. I have a few set of wheels I could try this on if you want a second set of eyes.
Now with Megastar only fit.
It was megastar only from the begining cause the superstar has tabs, but i think @pixelsilva has got you covered
How far away are we from fitting these bad boys?
10"/11"
6"
a complete truck redesign. Way too heavy and wide for anything we have.
I’d still be tempted to throw some 150mm, 12mm shoulder bolts in some Kahua trucks to run 3" wide 5" wheels w/ those bridgestones on it…
This is very helpful thanks!
