Default RE: Solid rubber tires ??

Stallen,
In fact , the rim that you show on the photo is from an new company call " Air Power Models". They have the solid rubber tries to fit this rim. (or Robart rim). Their web site is www.airpowernet.com The tires very strong, but just not too light.


ORIGINAL: SAP_2000

Hi.

Anyone knows if and where you can get solid rubber tires that replaces Robart 2 3/4 inch wheels?

On the ViperJet, I have Skymaster rims (same as Robart, but in aluminum) with Robart 2 3/4 inch tires. Problem is that the tires are way to soft, even though I have put some foam in them.

By the way... does the original Robart foam inserts make the stock tires hard enough for a 25-30 lb. jet??

I would be great if I could replace only the tires, so I don't have to a complete new set of wheels and brakes. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
