Need help finding a supplier

Post by Wato3 »

We have students building CO2 dragsters and the supplier we normally get the wheels from has closed After hours searching the internet I haven't been able to find anyone who sells just simple plastic wheels that don't cost a fortune

I wanted to insert a picture to show you but cant work out how to #-o

Can anyone point me in the right direction PLEEEEEEEEASE

Can I ask what price you consider reasonable? I found myself in a similar position quite recently, and found an alternative from one of my regular suppliers. The price was $55 for 100.

Pretty sure I got some from Winc (Staples), but don't know if the quality is what you need.

I'll get back to you as my electronics teacher does it and will look up where he gets his wheels from. Somewhere in Bunderburg he thinks.
