Marui Samurai Rims set

thingiverse

*** My Marui Samurais have either no wheels or wheels in bad conditions. I had to do something.*** ***Please note that this was a massive work to get here, and do not forget to feedback or tip me for the work :-), Thanks!*** ***My criterias when starting the work *** - tires easy to source and with similar thread design for both front and rear - keep some of the distinct genes of the Samurai with a front rim with a slightly bigger diameter than the rear one - reproduce the design of the Samurai wheels or be as close as possible - being able to switch size for rear or both and front and keep the caracteristics of the wheel design - axle is targeted for 4.1mm (the center hole is 4.2mm). However, on my two Samurais, I noticed some variances, and while 3 of the rear axles are with a 4.1mm diameter, one is with 4.2mm diameter (this size variance is something which was also confirmed to me by another Samurai owner). In case you are in this case, just use a drill in the center hole to get it bigger. - those wheels were designed with different diameters. 50 corresponds to 2 inches tires (ex Tamiya Hotshot Oval Block, Kyosho Turbo Optima re-release, ...) 62 corresponds to 2.2 inches tires. Front are 31mm large and Rear are 36mm large (usual thread widths). ***Possible combinations for wheel sizes in 5 spokes are :*** - Front F50 and Rear R50-forF50 (Front external ring is extended slightly for visual effect) - Front F62 and Rear R50-forF62 - Front F62E and Rear R62-forF62E (Front external ring is extended slightly for visual effect) ***The first upload will only include 5 spokes and Friction wheel hubs, Hex version and others number of spokes (in first extend only for 2 inches tires and if demands exist, I'll upload the 2.2 inches versions).*** All those wheels were designed in Fusion 360, using parametric design. There is only one design for front wheel and one for the rear wheel, and the parameters are affecting them on the flow.
