Default Puller Tire CAD Preview

We have been working with two guys via email on this for the last few days. So we made this CAD.

Another option is make a tire that looks similar like this below:

We haven't decide which one we will make or we can just make both.

The material is going to be challenge, but we will see what we can do.

We hope to start shipping late Feb...

I really like all of em but I would say if I had to pick one it'd be the ones on the Summit and Digger. A style of those would be really awesome to see. I would also love to see the puller one too though.

Hua could you also make a scale rim like the white ones on the Summit truck? I'm sure those would sell real nice as I know I'd pickup a few sets myself. A scale Monster Truck rim has yet to be seeing on the market.

After seeing the Losi Raminator I think they did a great design, looks very realistic if you see one in person

looks pretty good to me, maybe taller "lugs" for tracks that arent super smooth.

Those pulling tires are SIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!! They look just like 1:1 Cepek's and Pitbull's. Now I wanna build a 4WD puller... A SHAFTY puller. what sizes are those gonna be? I assume 2.2 and Clod size? (clod size for the 2WD guys and 2.2 for the 4WD guys?)

Also the cut MT tires are sweet, too.

GeneralG, we are still working on it, because all Baja products goes through our distributor, we wont start them until we get a confirmation, but its coming, we hope to have some update in Feb, just need to finalize the design. Unfortunatly all of our design we submitted so far where not good enough, hopefully we can get something approved soon.

binaryterror, we expect to get that truck very soon from our good old friend at Losi...we might work on the wheels for that truck

Breaker 1-9, we can do the last one, any detailed and bigger pictures? Also for some odd reason, my mind think something about Darran @ TTR suppose to make something like this

JavelinSST390, its going to be for clod size tires...there are no plans to make them in 2.2

Hua I'm sorry but thats the only large pics I can find a 1:1 Monster Truck wheel. Maybe someone here could chime in. The ones Darren at TTR were looking at doing were plastic or delrin I believe but that never got near production and called off. So you would be the first and in powdercoated aluminum would look reallly nice.

I agree on the scale Mt wheels but They would have to be in some kind of strong plastic or delrin to keep weight down. I cant see that kind of wheel marketed to anyone but the racing crowd and they would not use something heavy just for looks.

I would say Delrin but white if possible and my idea would be to replace the stock plastic hubs that go to the knuckles with a large replica hub like on a real Monster Truck wheel then make a large hole in the wheel so the hub can stick out from it just like on a real full size wheel then and then ofcourse just bolt the rim to the hub like racers already do.
