1/6th Scale Chevy Monster Truck

[NickRummy]

The goal at lunch time today was to get the front ring cleaned up since it still had a lot of center section left. There was no real easy way to do it so out came the dremel with the cut off wheel and a lot of patience.



Here's what I got it trimmed up to. I still need to get it cleaned up but at least I can test it.



So here's the modded Ofna Pirate rim. Outer lip taken off the front and the rear lip completely taken off the back and the front and rear rings from the kong rims.



Here's the slip fit on both sides to see how it goes together. All seems perfect! I'll get the rings epoxied on and should be set.







Now I just need to get the rest all cleaned up and assembled and I think I'll paint them up so they look decent.

Hopefully this will be the last of the boring wheel posts

Got the front and rear rings cleaned up and epoxied onto the center section. Drilled a hole and installed my blingtastic valve stems from Summit Racing. You can see the bead of the epoxy around the ring.





The tires are MUCH wider looking. Looks more like a monster truck wheel now.





You can see the difference in the sidewalls pretty well in this pic.



They hold air well but not good enough to hold air over night. Should be fine for testing. Brought the camera and truck with me today so hopefully at lunch time it'll do some floating!

How about some pictures first







Now how about a little power





You know I had to take a video
