1:18 help needed
 

hi
i just got my 1:18 jeep rock crawler friday and yesterday while it was charging
i took a pen and cut it and lengthened the wheel base front and rear, I then gave it a bit of a body lift cause the tires were hitting

im wondering how to take off the wheels, if there is a way to widen the width of the wheel base, and how to do a tummy tuck?

TIA
Steve

check the 1/18th nylint forum....TONS of info. Your on jeepaholics.com arnt you?

i was checking and there is a lot of stuff to sift through
oh and ya im on jeepaholics.......that and about 18 other jeep BB's ;-)

i thought that was how but i wasnt really sure
i didnt want to blemish the pretty chrome.......http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/n/pukeface.gif

do the 1:6 tires fit the 1:18?
or is that asking for stuff to brake???



oh and it seems that the front tire is held on by a screw and the back is a small bolt
trying to think of a way of widening the width of the wheelbase
i have a few ideas:idea: :idea: :idea:

Try taking the 4 screws out of the back of each wheel and put the back part of the wheel on backwards. Little wider and taller

This is where I found it

Only the 1/6th includes the tool for removing the caps. I have tried lots of things, and the only thing that made a difference was custom cutting the tires, and removing the springs from the shocks.

i might need a new tire.....and a finger :roll:

i was drilling the center a lil bit and i guess the bit was too sharp
it wasnt really cutting then i pushed and it went through the tire and into my finger
hurt alot and blead a bunch and still sorta does if i squeeze it

i will try the flipping the tire around maybe

BTW anywhere to get new wheels just need the chrome part???

lol, well done wiht the drill :D i just sliced some skin off my thumb trimming plastic parts :?

ok well seein as i am now hated here..but ur new and dont know me..depending on how wide u want it u could even go with narrowed 2.2s...umm cutting springs help just removing them helps alot

ok i dont hate ya .....maybe later :roll: lol
so what is this 2.2 mod? and how do i do it?

removing the springs ...........maybe might try that out once

we have a hobby shop i might stop in there and see what kind of stuff they have
