How to: Make scale truck nutz

Ya know, they actually outlawed these in certain states? Some governor was po'd over his kids seeing it or something? I remember hearing it in the news several months ago.

Careful guys!! :lol:
 
I made my Crawler ballz with ball bearings brazed togeather and a looped piece of speaker wire to allow movement.
Dipped them in Plasti-dip used a fingure cut from disposable latex gloves then dipped them in the plasti-dip again. (no need for sucking anything:lol: )

Let it dry and dip again.
If you wanted to you could sand down parts to make grooves and such (did it once) but usually comes out just right.

I used red cause that's what I had around. But the dip comes in Blue, Yellow, Black and red. I think I've seen a purple color but not sure.

I did had a set on mine but they fell off at the gtg. They were the key nutz that truck nutz started to sell.

I've found it at Lowes, Homo depot (they accused me of steeling so I don't like em), Harbor frieght, My local screw store (in red, black, blue and clear) and some all around type stores like wal-mart and K-mart in the tool section.

EDIT: I also noticed that if you mess with them to long before they dry the plasti-dip will eat through the laytex clove but not much. I was having a hard time getting the "shap" correct when I would hang it to dry and fiddled with it for about 5 minutes. Ended up taking the laytex off and putting a new one on. The thumb gives the best results.


EDIT-EDIT:
BADD's Ballz.:shock:

I just bought shaft and sack lures off ebay yesterday. Should be here in time for the salmon run mid august.

Also I once had a pair of the blue sacks on my bronco when I was in my early 20s :flipoff:
