Thank You Terry Thanks for asking Zabco No it's not. I put King Hauler rims in Chlorine and got rid of the Chrome. Skeeter You Nailed that one It's leftover PVC schedule 40 i think the name is. No need to cut down rear rims to get what i want...........The fleet is running white spinners anyway

Thanks for reply, I asked because the lighting in your photo made the hubs look alot like some rims I tried 3d printing some time ago. Was going to ask you how much effort it was to smooth them out as much as it appeared you had. I really like your idea though of mixing the hub portion of a standard wheel with the machined pvc. I think I'm going to try that just using 3D printed hubs. If nothing else will save a lot of support material and make cleanup much easier.

Lightbulb Re: KH Beam Hauler

Short update of the fix for the broken trailer axle.
I've got some time to make the sleeve for all trailer axles that use std.axle.
From now on i go full metal axles.
