love it :thumbsup: scrub brake pads are curved up just like on there 4" wheel bikes . steering wheel is awesome :thumbsup: the wheels are 3 piece 4" wheels right ? when you sat original tires do they say stellar industries on them ?
Yes, three piece, 4" wheels. The guy I bought it from put two of the original wheels and tires on his hand truck! I almost had to buy the hand truck too. I finally convinced him to swap the wheels back. all the wheel parts were bead blasted and refinished in matte aluminum.
The steering wheel is cast aluminum with a texture to it. Its kinda the centerpiece of the kart.
The original tires were Generals. I forget the model name. In thinking about it, I think they were called "Traction". At the time I looked into it, but they were long discontinued. Basically "unobtainium". They were dry rotted and beat. Im pretty sure I save them saved somewhere. As far as replacements, I had to settle for whatever the current brand is these days.
The original wheel bearing were made by Heim (as in heim joints). I called Heim to see if they still made the bearing. They said that it was discontinued but were very interested in finding out what the original application was. Im sure they got a chuckle.
Interestingly, my friend's boss used to work for Stellar in some management capacity.
