Sete Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have been eyeing a few Taurox conversions using wheels instead of those dreaded tracks. I might use resin as a last resort, but I would prefer plastic bits. So would the Goliath wheels work on the Taurox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 To your actual question im not sure but i do know one of my friends picked up a couple of the wheeled kits here and was super happy: https://www.zinge.co.uk/collections/vehicle-accessories/products/apc-vehicle-conversion-kit-2-x-axels-4x-27mm-wheels-and-2-upgrade-forest-sprues They look really good the way he made them.

Carlson793 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Resin, but try Victoria Miniatures. Vic does good quality stuff using a resin very similar to the stuff ForgeWorld uses.https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/vehicles-and-bits-1/products/apc-wheel-and-suspension-kit-gamer-edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Are they solid enough tho? My experiences with FW have not been pleasant, and the few times I have bought from them items arrived damaged. Especially swords and antennas. That's why I dread buying resin. I feels it's very fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fajita Fan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Do you have any access to a 3D printer on your area? For something like this I’d totally use the 3D printed design I found on Thingiverse. I printed a bunch of wheels for my four Tauroxes (Tauroxi?) because I hated those tracks. I don’t know if I kept the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Blood and Skulls makes a resin kit they sell on eBay, little to no clean up, and it goes together super quick and easy.Note: Please ignore the wonkyness of the wheels, it's held together with bluetac at the moment.

Fajita Fan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I drove to every Walmart, Target, and toy store in the area trying to find toy trucks with wheels and axles I could loot for my mine and ended up 3d printing all of these at work.
