SUPER TIRE!!!!!!

[DirkDigler]

I was going to keep this a secret but I am too excited not to get people interested.
I keep hearing crawler guys asking for a kong sized tire with a more aggressive tread pattern, like the Swamp Dog.
After much testing with my narrowed Kongs, I have found that they hold up to ANYTHING and they are the best tire I could have hoped for. The gluing part was what concerned me as far as durability.
Well, now that I know it works well, here is my new project that I've started.
It's simple: I am removing the sidewalls from the Kongs. Cutting the tire into three pieces, basically. There is two sidewalls left and the tread section from the top, which I will just discard. I then am cutting the top tread section and side lugs(all in one long circular strip) off of a Swamp Dog tire and mating it with the two Kong Side walls. That's all there is to it. I will soon have 8 inch tall Swamp Dogs, Digler style!!!!!!!

You are insane .

But I cant wait to see 'em. "Swamp Kongs" will decimate ALL!!

[DirkDigler]

I may even do another set with the Claw Dog tread.!!!!!!

You crazy fella!

[DirkDigler]

Griz calls me "insane"
and JK calls me "crazy"

I'm starting to wonder if I really do have a problem.

Tic-tic-tic-tic....... come on man, times a wasting! Get to it and make the new tire. I'm expecting it to be finished by this weekend

I am curious as to how you will accomplish this. You will need more than 4 swamp dogs to create a circumfrance equal to that of a Kong.
You might have access to the tires but it would cost someone almost $200 for a set of RC tires that "might work".
I hope this works becuase it would be hella sweet.

[DirkDigler]

Bark,
you hit the nail on the head. That is my biggest problem and concern, is "lengthening" the tread area. Mucho Dolores!

Dirk... You're crazy Are you married? And if so, how, and does she have a sister?

Sounds like a neat idea, be sure to post pics. I'll stick with my devulcanized cut clod tires for now They're so sticky they leave rubber on your hands 8O

I think she's about 29. Lives in San Diego.
My wife supports my habit but still is annoyed by my countless hours in the basement, fabbing trucks and parts.

My GF wasn't very into it either until I really tried to involve her in it, AKA handed her the dremel and said 'cut here' She loves driving it too I also drag my GF to fun romantic-esque spots and spend some time with just us, and the RC truck. But we're still young, and not married, so what the hell do I know?
