Donation Help needed for 4H kids project

[Glenn Quarles]

Friends, I need to ask for some help! I have started a STEM class with the 4H kids in our county... it's going great!!! Our first project was (of course!!!) control line planes!! I had 19 kids each build a really fun electric trainer that I designed. Brodak was a fantastic help with offering the 1/2A electric power package and other parts at a reduced price! If it wasn't for their support I'm not sure we could have afforded it!

I am getting ready to start our 3rd project (an rc car powered by the motors off the planes) and I can't find an suitable wheels at an affordable price. What I'm looking for from y'all is any kind of model airplane tire/wheels. Im hoping someone out there has a junk box full of old parts that need a new home!! I'm thinking something in the 2 - 2 1/2" dia range will be pretty good, but would be happy to take donations of other sizes close to that. I need a total of four sets. I do have a limited budget so can help with the shipping cost if needed.

I have just completed a proof of concept  car...I'm hoping some bigger wheels will slow it down some!!! It's crazy fast like it is now!!

Thank you!!

   Hi Glen;
    It won't be until the weekend before I can check, but I have a big box of wheels in a lot of sizes that I can search through. Lots of heavier DuBro and Perfect brand wheels that I will probably never use on a stunt model. I'll get back to you ASAP on it, but again it probably won't be until the weekend.
    Type at you later,
