Well as I said before I'm looking at making some special wheels. Unfortunately assembling the wheel out of pieces would be less then ideal but I might go with the idea of wood. I am looking at giving whatever material I use a coating of rubber or a high friction plastic (I'm spraying the coating on) so it's personal friction is not too important but I'm thinking wood would actually take a sprayed coating better. Again my major concern is that because these are wheels and rather thin (well they will be at some points), they need to take some stress. Thanks for the all the help so far. This is the hardest part of the drive train I'm designing so I really can use the help.
