Description
Saw some video of someone putting slicks / drifting tires on their rc car.
Wanted to see if it was possible to 3d print these.
As Im guessing they will wear out I wanted to make them changeable.
The inner parts that "lock" together are made with 3.5mm holes, which I made for a m4 tap, dont know if you can tap by just screwing in an m4 screw.
The holes on the wheels are 4.2mm for letting the m4 screws pass easily.
The wheels have a 40mm thickness and rims are 42mm, so a 40mm m4 screw should give some nice rigidity.
I recommend you print the test parts first to see that everything prints nicely, as the rims and wheels uses up quite a lot of material.
I made two kinds of wheels, slicks / drift and sand tires, but they can easily be made into other designs.

I have not yet tested these so use them at your own risk.
