Well, MCK-Y's being cloned for MaW, so we wanted to make him more reliable.  One of the pain points is the wheels.  Getting foam into the tires is tough.  It cured unevenly and broke down, making MCK-Y wobble a lot when driving.  Which looked cute, but helped shake him to pieces.

And then I discovered Ninjaflex.  (Which Ninjatek is happily donating for the MaW droid, thanks guys!)

So I've printed some new "innertubes" for the wheels/tires that keep them from collapsing.

The rubber is pretty stiff (which is good), so it took a bit of work to get it over the rim.  And to get the tire over the innertube.  I left voids in 2 directions to help that a bit (as you can see below).
