Do any of the balloon tires use the same hub as the wide racing tire (on 8440, Indy racer, Mill. throwbot)? (In particular, it looks as though the medium balloon tire, as included in both the upcoming simple chassis and the silver wheels pack (with (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Duplo set 2983 includes a barrel that's about 6 studs in diameter by 9 or 10 high. You'd need to drill the bottom for the agitator axle, but I think that's only a "venial" sin among purists, compared to introducing a "foreign element" ;-) (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hmmm - but that was hand-cranked. Did you try applying a motor to it, and see if it could take on the same amount of torque? Rotational speed isn't the only factor to take into account, there is also the torsional component. To make a half-decent (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)
