i figured out the wheel combo im going with im gona use the wheels from my old juggernaught there 2.6 glue ons i found the ssd dragons in 2.6 and although the patter is different i think the combo will work ok together the jugg wheels are wide enuff to mount 2 tires on it so it looks like a duelly wheel and beeing so deep it only adds to the look | |

the tires are only temperary for mock up cause there the right size im gina have to order 3 sets of tires but i found some china cheapos that have a vary close pattern to a 1:1 semi tire and there as close to the right size as ill get but i would like bigger ones if i could find 10 axial bfg krawlers in r40 compound i would go with those but thats probably not going to happen lol
