Can anyone tell me the diameter of the Wheels used on the RSOV?? I'm trying to find a suitable sized wheel for different project and all the wheels are overkill (10+ lugs. the RSOV seems to be more to the style, I just need the diameter.

Thanks!!

You mean the real ones, or the ones in the Hobby Boss kit? Or maybe the DEF.model resin ones?

Aren't WC51 wheels close enough?

Those in the Skybow/AFV Club kit are 25.5mm in diameter. The rims are bolted, but if you remove bolts, they should be pretty close to M37 wheels.

I'm looking for something slightly larger. I might have to use some Lav wheels and modify the centers.
