|  Rc4wd 1.55 wheel conversion for Rc4wd Big Dog Trailer
First if this in the wrong section,I apologize. My question will be similar to a post asking a question back in 2014 by tbh2014 about the rc4wd big dog trailer and a wheel conversion. So I have searched and only found the one post and no ideas were shared. I have searched the interwebs for ideas for using rc4wd 1.55 wagon wheels and the only thing I found was a pocket bearing hub(I might be wrong on the name). It looks like a decent product even though it's 3d printed,but I would like to try something different and use aluminum instead. So my question is for anyone that has one of these trailers and changed the wheels out to 1.55 wagon wheels,how did you do it? I may to picky,but I don't care for wobbly wheels caused by having to run the wheel nuts loose.

Okay I was wrong about how to use different wheels. I thought the thing to adapt a 1.55 wheel was called a pocket bearing hub,but it's called a narrow bearing hub adapter. And it's made by the company Scale by Chris and the only two I've found will work for gear head wheels and vanquish slw wheels. The company also makes 1.55 trailer specific wheels that has bearing pockets instead of the hex. So it looks like the wheels would be my only option to make the rc4wd big dog trailer look more scale,unless I wanted to go with wheels other than plastic ones.

Do you have 5 or 6 lug wagon wheels(if you already purchased)? What size bearing are you planning to use? I might be able to help you out. Shoot me an email at extremerc4x4@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Somebody makes a hub where you can take your hex hub off and use theirs that has bearings in it, 3/16", for your axle. Aluminum pieces and reasonable.
