|  ...spare parts build...now with duallies
Little something I built from spare parts, It's basicaly SCX with custom links, bed and bumper, touring shocks in the rear. The body is old beater, redrilled for body mounts and shot with flat black can. I put it together really quickly, so that my brother could join us on scale runs. I have no pics from the build, just finished rig, but I'm already working on some improvements and details         Last edited by Leprasol; 11-13-2010 at 02:25 AM. |

I was thinking about duallies for my spare parts build and finally I made them. I used plastic landies wheels, stock Hilift wheels and a piece of tube. First i cut out the central part of the Hilift wheels and left just the ring, then I cut a piece of tube (actually it's a pills bottle, cause it had pefect outer diameter, which is 46mm) long enough to put it inside the Landy wheel and glue it there. Then I put tire on the Landy wheel and on the ring, made of Hilift wheel, put some glue on the tube and slid the ring on it, till the tires touched. After the glue cured, I took of the tires, cut the extra tube and put three screws into each wheel, to connect it with the tube. Width is same as in the front, because it mounts as standart landy wheel, the inner wheel is in the back. It works just with straight axle and you have to move the shocks and lover links inside a bit, because it basicaly slides over the axle... here is just a sketch i just made  here are some pics (cellphone - sorry)...I am aware that it might not hold well under load, in that case, I am gonna try some alloy wheels and metal tube       |
