Many thanks. I'm looking to construct something similar - except i plan to cheat somewhat, by using cheap hammer action drills (without the hammer action!) as the motor drives. Allows me to cheat as they are easy to fix/mount, have high torque and even offer the benefit of a removalable power system for charging. Thanks again...maybe we can offer Pi bot racing as an event one day! ;o)

We found these wheels on EBay, the are intended for the the mini off-road quad bikes.
If you search for "mini atv" you should be able to find both the wheels and tyres, there are plenty available ^_^
