1-3/4" Treaded Birch Wheel — Oversized Wooden Wheel for Realistic Model Trucks & Engineering Projects
The 1-3/4" treaded birch wheel features a pronounced tire tread pattern around its 5/8" thick birch hardwood body, engineered for authenticity and strength in large model vehicles, construction equipment replicas, and interactive architectural dioramas. Designed for smooth rolling on standard 1/4" axles and finished with a sanded, unfinished surface, this wheel delivers the load capacity, scale realism, and visual impact essential for demanding wooden toy and display builds.

- Depressed hub and sharp outer edge lend accuracy and dimension to high-fidelity scale models
- Crafted from kiln-dried birch for consistent performance and easy finishing
- Pre-sanded, unfinished wood ready for painting, staining, or detailed finishing touches
- Uniform diameter and tight roundness tolerance for balanced rolling in multi-wheel assemblies
- Available in multiple pack sizes for workshops, kit builds, or batch production
Use the 1-3/4" treaded wheel for projects like industrial model dump trucks, robust toy bulldozers, or heavy-duty STEM engineering vehicles requiring realistic rolling action and scale presence. Its generous profile suits mobile tool carts, classroom learning props, or as a high-impact visual element in farm equipment dioramas. For a clever idea, employ these wheels in a large interactive marble run or as bold, decorative hooks in an industrial-themed kids’ room—each groove providing both function and durable, tactile design appeal.
-
Does the tread pattern extend all the way around?
Yes, the tread grooves are continuous to replicate real tires on any face or angle in your build. -
Will these accept a standard 1/4" wooden axle?
The 1/4" center hole is designed for a snug, secure fit with common axles, dowels, and pegs. -
Is the wheel suitable for working and display models?
The durable birch and substantial thickness support both rolling toy applications and static, detailed displays. -
Are the wheels sanded and finish-ready?
Each is pre-sanded for immediate painting, staining, or custom finishing with woodburning and decals. -
Can I order bulk quantities for classroom or production needs?
Large and small pack options are available for any project scale. -
Will the tread detail last with normal use?
Birch holds tread patterns well through regular rolling on smooth surfaces or light outdoor use if sealed. -
Is the depressed hub only for looks?
The hub creates a scale-correct appearance and can help seat axles flush for professional results. -
How do I ensure the wheels align for smooth rolling?
Uniform diameter and true roundness allow easy, balanced mounting in four-wheel or multi-wheel builds.
This 1-3/4" treaded birch wheel delivers scale realism and load-bearing performance—an ideal choice for museum-quality models, interactive toys, and engineering builds that require both appearance and durable, rolling function.
