Here are the new tires and wheels.
They are as close as I could come to these.

The truck is getting torn apart to get dyed black. I'm adding a little more detail to the whole truck too.

Look alot like the Mashers I have. Only without the red rings. Yours look narrowed though. Great choice of tire.

Ya I've had these tires before and loved them so I bought another set.
They are double narrowed both out side rings are cut off. They look cool as hell made the tire look more like a 1:1. tall and skinny. The tire is actually way wider than the rim now. The black is dyed into the rims the red and silver are paint. I never thought the rock ring that are forsale look scale enough. They just look to big. Also narrowed the foam to fit inside the rim instead of as wide as the tire. Cut a 1/8" strip off all the way around the foam. So it's a 1/4" lower over all hieght.

Here is a pic of mine on the right a srock on the left.

Yeah paint markers are cheap, I never really cared for the way beadlock rings stick out from the tire like a rim with a huge lip. I'm debating about just using the M2K's for my comp build or getting the new 2.2 Red Rocks.

The red is a single stage tractor paint. I used it to paint a goped. The silver is a touchup marker for a honda. I would like to see the red rocks in action too. If they peform like the big ones they will be great over here.

Blue frame is better than a white frame.

Thanks guys.
I had it in black dye. I went to check it, it had turned this great looking dark blue/purple. I thought it was more interesting color than just black. It's a dark blueish purple. Anyways I liked it so, it came out of the dye.

More detail to come!

What material is the chassis made from, cutting board?

And, do you mind if I copy your chassis design................ and your whole rig to the smallest detail? j/K

Yep it's medium density polyethylene (cutting board)
The cutting board from wally world is softer this is a little harder material.

You can copy as long as you promise not to steal my ae hitch ball. J/k
