Default RE: 1/5 Top Flight P-51 Electric

"If you use those Sullivan wheels, get ready for some grief from your buds at the field...all that bashing and expense to get a great looking, much more scale model and then put ugly shoes on it's feet?? What are you thinking? "

I know .. but man a 1/2 pound
I'm thinking of trying the Kavan 5" threaded wheels from hobby lobby.. they are super light.. but I hear they don't hold up all that well

what do you tink of these? maybe less grief..lol... http://www.hobby-lobby.com/wheels.htm

trust me I love the robart wheels I used to walk out in the shop and stare at them... but they are just so heavy
I may end up with them.. but wanted to see what else may work

I which someone could weigh the old byron P-51 wheels.. they didn't look to bad..
it's been years since I had a pair in my hand but I recall them being pretty light.. then I's have to track down a good pair
