I'm not sure if the
wheels are real or not, some people are very clever with photo software....like this

Willem
just means you'll need some chisels and a spoke shave added to your already extensive kit. Not sure how they'll handle the sand, maybe you'd be better with dreadnaught system like on

Termites would be the main issue (
well, apart from all the others) :)

Possibly caused by delamination of the 16 ply-wood tyres he was using. Maybe MDFs would be better option :)
Geez we're funny. Hopefully modsquad will end the pain.
Cheers

Good one Doug.
Does this mean that you are still investigating the termite problem with your wheels/tyres up there? (Thanks explorer for reminding me, mango season)
Anyhow we all know that Willem uses cheap Chinese steel chord tyres with a splash of rubber around the outside . . lol, fixes the punctures but rust and weight is a problem . .
Cheers and a happy new year
