I agree... Take a thin tip red sharpie and put a line almost to the edge of the rim lip and you have that 80's steel rim that all the basher hick trucks had.

Love the rig man, simply awesome.

2nd that thin red line!!! Then youll have the real OG wagon wheels

I am digging the new tires too! Awesome work as usual Dean, You gotta find out for me what wheels those are, I am curious to see how they would look in black

Thanks for the info, but if you want a true 80s style Bruiser, youll have to jack it up and add 12 shocks to it and paint all the chassis parts blue and purple

chino63 · 12-20-2006, 05:21 PM

uh.... uh.... no? maybe?

chino63 · 12-20-2006, 08:13 PM

hopefully friday there will be some action pics. a few of us nor-cal guys are going to play hookie and go crawling somewhere. i really want to find some mud for this thing. damn california weather doesn't rain when you want it to.

microgoat · 12-20-2006, 08:27 PM

Those wheels are almost perfect. Just got too many spokes.

8 spokes, that's what ya want. And a locking front hub.

Nitro TC3 RTR wheels, with stock TLT backsides used to widen them. The hub is a Traxxas shock. The shock cap is drilled for the wheel nut, the tube screws down over it.

chino63 · 12-20-2006, 08:32 PM

thanks goat! i remember seeing that pic. awesome i must say. i love the hubs!

A bunch of Sacramento guys are trying to get together either this Saturday or next out at Folsom lake (Beals point). There is a thread over in "Get togethers" if you want to drop by.

chino63 · 12-20-2006, 11:58 PM

thanks for the invite but i don't think i will have time to drive up there.:-( folsom has some pretty sweet spots to crawl. maybe next time.

bigflex · 12-21-2006, 12:08 AM
