Re: Wheels Needed

We've taken the 6" Skyway wheels included in the kit and just screwed 1" roughtop conveyor tread on them, and glued it down. They appear to work quite well, and I imagine it would be easy to simply do that for the 8" wheels included in the kit. the only problems i forsee are that they might not be wide enough for your purposes, and i don't know if you can get 5/8" bearings for them.

Alternately, IFI sells 6" and 8" traction wheels, however they are only available in 1/2" and 3/8" bore. I imagine modification would be easier on these than on the skyways wheels though.
