Yep, that's by me.  I posted about finding a Hailfire Droid in LSMK but
no-one responded.  I took this pic so you can see the size of the wheel in
studs and see how it could be connected.  It's very wide so even three
turntables are too short to span the internal diameter. The slot is a • brick
wide (well, actually it's slightly wider since it curves but a brick sits • in
there fairly nicely) and the Hailfire Droid set uses bushes on half axle
pins to run the wheel on.

Can anyone think of another use for it?  I can take more pics or measure • it
if you want more info.

Psi

I want 2 of those set (at minimum) so I have at last 4 of those wheels. I'm
thinking of making a car with four wheels. And it will have steering and
drive on all four wheels. Look at the ground clearing it will get since the
drive is not connected to the center of the wheel. :)

It will be a strange looking vehicle for sure....

Is this set a S@H set only? Or is it coming on the shelves soon?
(I'm living in Norway...)
