I have seen the black nylon wheels for sale in Aircraft spruce, they all have bearings. Can they be made to work with our bushing style of fitting to the axle, or is there somewhere they can be purchased with no bearings? I seem to remember seeing some max fitted with them on u-tube. Are they durable?

TEAM sells the nylon wheels and bushings. I recently purchased a pair.
These seem to be OK to take normal loads with tire inflated, but mine cracked at the rims when my tire got a flat. If you stop immediately when the air deflates, then you could save the rim but if you keep rolling for even a short distance with a flat tire, then the wheels may need replacement.

Thanks Kieth. I hope your weather takes a breather and lets you get on with your Max activities .

I have used the nylon Azusalite Wheels with success on a CriCri project:

Yup but aircraft spruce sells with bearings not bushings and I want bushings. A e-mail to David at team confirmed that I could order from TEAM at $17.95/ wheel half.

It seems an excellent price. It is good to know, thanks.
The one issue i had with the nylon wheels were that they did need a bit of tweaking to get them to track true (ie not wobble)

Hello There,
Can you tell me the size of this wheel and tyre, and the model of this brake setup? Regards
