Re: Scale tires [TANKS]

[Martin Helsing <martin.helsing-at-earthlink.net>]

I got a GI Joe jeep that came with a spare tire. The wheels look cool, but they are 
hard plastic. Performance vs. looks

I am gonna use the 4 on the vehicle but I can mail you the spare if you want to cast 
your own ... its about 5" in diameter and IIRC, most 1/6 vehicles should have wheels 
of app. the same size.
