I created some water/sand tires (with hubs) for the Traxxas Rustler.

This is a derive from another wheel on Thingiverse:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4566114

However, I drew all tires and hubs completely from scratch using the tire and hub as model. 2 major changes are: 2mm wider then the original and most of all: a cut out around the hub and a thicker part inside the tire to prevent the tire from sliding of sideways (or at least it should; the original one does have sideways sliding tires on the hub)

 

I've made 2 hubs, one with 7 wide spokes and one with 14 small spokes. Printed in  PETG 40% Gyroid infill

I've made 3 tires with different stiffness. softer, harder and 1 you can do yourself by changing infill. For the harder and softer tire I use 100% infill since the stiffness is designed in the models which need 100% infill. The one you can deside for yourself is completely solid so you have to decide for yourself what kind of infill you want and how dense. I've used Geroid 5% which works rather well.

Tires printed in TPU which is as soft as possible.
