1/6th Scale Chevy Monster Truck

[NickRummy]

While waiting on the two speed to get here I started looking into something else I've always wanted to do with an RC. It's been done before so it's nothing amazing but I wanted to approach it differently.

This is just too cool right?

Stopped at the local Harbor Freight and found some inner tubes that fit inside the Jumbo Kongs. 8" OD x 2.5"w wide for a 4" rim. I'm running 3.2" rims but that's ok.

Deflated inner tube



Added a little air to see how the fit would be



Not to bad. A little narrow.



Drilled a through hole for the valve stem



Put the tire on.



Added about 10psi to see what would happen.



Since the tube was too narrow it didn't stay centered.



I took the stock foam which is 4" wide and cut 2" out of the center. Then I used the 1" rings left over on either side of the inner tube inside the tire.
