    Walterson road wheel replacement?

    Hoping someone here can help steer me in the right direction. I have an older discontinued Walterson M4 Sherman rc tank that was dropped. The roadwheel broke. Does anyone know if there is a replacement part I can buy?
    Not even sure of the scale because the box is long gone. Cant find anything about Walterson online except I think they only make models now? I see Heng long alot and they look very similar to the Walterson. Does anyone know if the Heng long parts will fit? Maybe provide a link for parts?

    Is that diecast or plastic?
    do you have a large overview photo of the tank?
    take a measurement of the overall length and we can see if tis 1/16 but still your gonna have trouble retrofitting a difference brand bogie onto it.

      That's not just the road wheel. Looks like the suspension arm is broken also. Waltersons still exists, but has been focusing on ships from what remember. Looks like it's 1/24th: https://www.zandatoys.com/1-24-us-sh...rces-of-valor/

      Or maybe just Email Waltersons to see if parts are available: https://www.forcesofvalor.com/about1.php

        It is plastic. 10 inches long. I think it is 1/ 16.
        I am new to this but it seems pretty low quality. Not sure if is salvageable but thought I would try.

          Thank you, tank me. Emailing Waltersons is a good idea.
          Suspension arm. Got it.
          I was an artillery man 30 years ago on the MLRS system. Road wheel is the only part name I remember. 🤔

            Saw an MLRS fire that was located just off the Kandahar airfield in 2011. Been building one in 1/16th scale.

              If it is about 10 inches, the Walterson Sherman is a 1/24 scale tank. A 1/16 scale Sherman is about 14-15 inches long.
