December 4, 20204 yr appart of the interrest of the Wheel (wheels we can buy appart for ways less money) this set is uninteresting at all. No mechanics, no drivetrain, no engine, only two pendular axles, direction and that's it. I'll pass my way.

I was hoping for a little bit more sidewall. Like 60+mm diameter or so to better match the 63 diameter tire of old.
December 4, 20204 yr I think it will be interesting to see how we attempt to fit any kind of engine/drive train into this small model, while keeping the front pendular suspension and steering in place. Not saying it's impossible, I'd like to try myself. But is it a little unreasonable to expect such features in this particular model, with the pendular suspension/ steering in place without having the engine stick out the hood, which would not be realistic in such a vehicle.

December 4, 20204 yr Will get this set for sure. might switch out the tires with the Volvo EW160E Set

December 4, 20204 yr These new tyres are perfect for a forest harvester MOC. I might try get just them Edited December 4, 20204 yr by Bartybum

Over 10 years ago I made Saddle trac (3300 version) with powerpullers, but it looked way to wide for me, but it is my point of view... 1 minute ago, Maaboo35 said: The heck with that, stick 'em on 42080. and change colour vomit scheme please
