Hotwheels "Wheel Loader" Replacement Tire

thingiverse

The Wheel Loader model from 1979 Hotwheels is getting a much-needed upgrade. Its original wheels finally gave out, so I created a brand new version that's identical in appearance but with a major improvement - the entire body is now solid instead of hollow. This modification allows it to be paired with a sturdy 2mm steel axle rather than the flimsy pin stock axle used before. To make this upgrade possible, I had to drill out the axle holes to accommodate the new 2mm rod. But fortunately, everything fits together perfectly after that. The new model feels more substantial in your hands, and amazingly, its functionality remains unchanged - it still rolls around just like the original!
