Hey Guys ,
Since you can not change the title of a post on this forum , I decided to make a buyer's only feedback post.
This is intended for me and the buyer's to converse back and forth to try and bring them the most desirable model that they would want.
First up are the tires . I brought this up and had no responses .
I plan on using actual rubber tires the main tires are 1 -3/4 and the tandome front tires are 1 " in diameter .
I have gotten 2 samples of the main tire one rubber and one foam . The rubber is actually softer than the foam but have Dubro printed in raised letters on the side and are black . The foam are charcoal black and have a more scale like appearance than the rubber but are a little harder. Both have the wrong hub cap but that is easily rectified with new hubcaps that I intend to make .
The 1 inch front tandome tires are black rubber with correct treads but a solid aluminum hub that probably can not be altered.
If you guys have ever checked out pics of a real Hind all of the tires look like they are running a little flat .That is because the tires are low pressure and the Hind is HEAVY !!!!
With the rubber or foam tires being used you will not get this effect .
So...
1. This is not an issue use the rubber tires .
2. This is not an issue use the foam tires .
3. Use a decal or sticker on the outside hubcap nose wheel ( my buddy Lee's idea )
4. This IS an issue make the correct tires in shape and cast them in resin.
5. I do not care just get the Hind out ASAP.
