RE: roller blade wheel
look here! [link=http://www.monsterideas.co.uk/]Monster ideas[/link] (cilck on products and see the diff guard/ wheelie bar system) I have the diff guard and this stuff is Bulletproof! [link=http://www.rcnutshobbies.com/]RCnut's[/link]carries the full line so I am sure one of them will be able to get it to you. Btw this system is made of 1/8" (2mm) stainles steel plate. If nothing else you may be able to sweet talk VERON into sending you one I believe he is tight with the M.I. owner. Good luck

RE: roller blade wheel
When I first bought my MB, I was just sure that it was going to roll over backwards every time I hit the throttle. Without a tuned pipe, that does not seem to be the case at all (unless I am doing something very wrong).
Never the less, I made a wheelie bar from a section of steel flat bar and a bolt-on chair wheel. I got both parts at a hardware store for about $8.00.
I wrapped the bar in cardboard, put it in a vise, and gave it a slight bend (about 30 degrees). Then, I drilled four holes in one end of the bar for the wheel plate to mount to with nuts and bolts. I had intended to drill three more at the other end to mount it to the chassis, but when the MB arrived, I realized that the metal bar was not wide enough.
I wound up scrapping the whole project because I found that I did not really need a wheelie bar, but I really think that it would have worked just fine, otherwise.
You may be able to try fabricating your own....

The wheelie bars work great if you driving in the street all the time.

RE: roller blade wheel
Come on, I didn't mention anything until Veron posted the pics and squiz1 asked where the item comes from and what's the price. I just answered a question.
Btw, let that "someone" jump. It's not my shop, I'm only working there. I don't get a dime from them for promotion. Therefore that's no real threat to me.
