Neil I thought you got those Cesna Tires now!!

I love the Cessna Nose Wheels!! :wee: They consist of spun aluminum, balanced 8x8 rims with "crop duster" 21x12x8, 6 ply tires. The wheels are quite light. I'm using inner tubes since they are split rims and I can run them with low pressure without the worry of leaks around the rim seal. They run great on my VTT Black Widow Buggy.

The problem is... that until I can get a new down tube made with a greater vertical length, the front end of my buggy is a wee bit high and therefore throws off my steering. So, until then...I'm just experimenting with ideas good, bad or just plain stupid. :dunno: The aircraft wheels were an experiment that worked and they only cost me a Revolution 1 and a Prism Ozone both of which I have not used in years.
