Go to Post I'm not sure why, but I'm getting this picture in my head of a bunch of engineers, huddled in deer blinds with 22's, waiting for the right power wheels toy to drive by. - Tom Line [more]

Wheels are really not that demanding in terms of "design time". A good wheel can be pumped through CAD, verified with FEA, re-CAD-ed and ready for manufacturing in a couple hours.

P.S.- Obviously this could vary depending on the wheels you actually design. I'm just speaking from experience in terms of the wheels I've designed in the past.
