|  How to make a 1/6 body look small... Add bigger tires  . Nothing like working with 10"....  Body under is my 1/18 to show size, so no one can say I am using a 1/18th body on the big one.  Haven't tried it out, still in mock up stages, but I'm sure I will have some happy axles   Here's compared with stock tires.  |

| It doesn't have the stock steering servo anymore. Those tires won't be run on this truck, I am working on a whole new project around them. Just wanted to see what they would look like on that truck. I will have some pics of the chassis when its done, still mocking things up. Features include 12v nylint battery to run the axles and winch, 1/18 nylint battery to run the electronics. Radio operated winch with power in/out and free spool. Its a east coast wheeler, not a crawler so nothing amazing for flex. Wheelbase was exended for hill climbing. Not dumping a whole lot of money into it, just building it out of broken nylints I have lying around.  Now the one I am building around those 10" tires will be powered by a 4 stroke 29cc engine, with a full tube frame.....  |
