I am finally ready to start building my buggy which means I need to find the wheels I want to use. I am looking for a set of 3 or 4 bigfoot wheels
similar to this:
My buggy will be very heavy as it is for 2 people, so I will need a strong wheel. My axles will be 20mm. I am in California and would prefer to find
something within the states.
They are in Germany, but it's quick and affordable shipping.skyeg3 - 27-7-2014 at 10:10 PM
I really wanted to use the landsegler wheels but they would not sell them to me as my buggy would be too heavy for the wheels. Here is the buggy I am
building: http://thespidercrabblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/updated-spider...BeamerBob - 27-7-2014 at 10:19 PM
What do you expect total weight with riders to be? skyeg3 - 27-7-2014 at 10:27 PM
about 450 lbs.BeamerBob - 28-7-2014 at 06:39 AM
Hmm. Stephan Van Bommel rides them on a conventional buggy and he's within 75 lbs of that. You are using 4 wheels instead of 3 so I'm surprised it
passed some limit they thought your buggy surpassed. I was sold on their strength after watching Stephan ride on 2 wheels with his and the wheels
took it in stride.
You might try to convert some motorcycle wheels to the task.skyeg3 - 28-7-2014 at 12:33 PM
I think i may have to. That would be easy enough for the desert set although I don't know where I would get hubs... Also my buggy is 3 wheels not 4. I
figured the landseglers where fine after seeing that also but apparently they don't want to take a chance.RedSky - 28-7-2014 at 01:42 PM
I think those look like a good way to go. Does everyone just buy from Europe? Im surprised theres no dealers in the states.cheezycheese - 28-7-2014 at 05:24 PM
