Hello all,
which of the available AM wheel sets for the Trumpeter LAV-25 SLEP are the most accurate?
I found wheels from:
Voyager (most expensive)
E.T. Model
DEF Model
D-Toys
Hobby Fan
Legend (the hubs look quite deep)
Many thanks,
Thomas

The ET model wheels I bought had the exact same pattern on all 8 wheels and that was a real turn off for me.

Legends do not have any manufacturer label on the tire. Interesting about ET's wheels- all their newer stuff varies the logos and such so they don't look like 8 exact copies of each other. Personally, I like DEF models wheels.

SLEP wheels have more bolts on the hub James.
Thanks anyway mate.

Yea I should have been more clear, mine were the older thin style LAV wheels.
