Izzy's Dump truck
I'm looking for some aggressive pattern super singles and standard tires
I'm thinking fulda style My plan is to mount on tamiya rims Any advice? |
Re: Dump truck
The Pajero tires I like to use; ppl talk about cutting the tire to shrink it's diameter, then glue it back together. Not sure what glue specifically. :confused: But the Pajero has an xllnt aggressive tread pattern similar to the Fulda Crossforce.

Re: Dump truck
They use CA glue I have watched the guys at the R/C dirt tracks glue three different tread patterns and compound together. These guys are fanatics and will literally cut up 100's of tire to make up different combinations to get the best performance and the tire stay together vary well and take more abuse than we could ever dish out with our trucks.

Re: Dump truck
I might give them a try........nice pattern ...... I guess you really don't see too agressive a pattern on the front of adump truck even though it might be front assist.....
hmmmmmm......more planning...... |
Re: Dump truck
i was excited, then i saw it was only about tires. Are you planning something Chris?

Re: Dump truck
I have cut n shut some tires and the results have been great. You use insta-cure to tack it together. Have to be careful cause it is instant especially on your skin. LOL. Then you fill the gaps from the back with IC-2000 which is glue with rubber in it. As for how to cut it depends on the tires to fall on a lug space or treadline for narrowing. The glues are from BSI and really are the best. I have tried some other viscosities and use mercury adhesives for the rest of my hobby stuff, but the insta-cure and IC2000 work perfectly. Oh one other thing, to cut the tires I use surgical scissors, dull ones will just gnaw at the rubber.

Re: Dump truck
Fulda crossforce tires do exist for Tamiya rims. You can get them here

Re: Dump truck
Thanks guys ...... Lynn and I were down to Travis' - it only took about 12 hrs to pull off what's in the pics
Gotta re cut the drive shaft - too tight yet I even kept the bruder interior and engine thus far...... Izzy |
Re: Dump truck
Nice work Fellas! The Bruder Mack Cabs are cool.

Re: Dump truck
I forgot to add in my haste of asking - but I was looking for tires in 1/16 scale for 1/14 scale rims - I like the relationship of the wedico size tires for the bruders but i want to run a tamiya driveline....
but maybe we'll change them later - or cut them down - keep the bead and cut out the height ...........Hmmmmmmmmm..........sounds tricky?? |

Re: Dump truck
Are them the original Bruder rims and tires? Are the originals rubber or plastic? Which rear ends, and where do yo get them? What is the size of the Aluminum you use for the frame rails?
Thanks Matt |

Which do you guys like better?
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...p/337beadf.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...p/2586c7b9.jpg The Euro style hangs out a bit farther as well -the front was already wider than the rear http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...p/8cc74d27.jpg Thoughts?? |
Re: Dump truck
Ummm this :D :p
http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_0325.jpg All kidding aside :p . It's a hard 1 Chris :confused: the 1's in the pic are already against the tie rod arm . I would say the 1 's you and travis made up . BTW you should be getting something very soon ;) prob tomorrow |
Re: Dump truck
Steve - your right awful tight fit ..... I prefer the track width of the made up rims but I like how the hub nuts fit in the euro wheels..... and yes I am anxious for my X-mas present....

Re: Dump truck
I worked on adding the splash gurads for behind the wheels - I'm real happy with how they turned out ...

Re: Izzy's Dump truck
Looks great Izzy and this should be a fun little dump truck.
Travis |
Re: Izzy's Dump truck
Really coming along nicely Chris! Between you and Travis I've seen you guys do a lot of neat things with a Granite that are new to me and original because of that.
Love the stance of the truck and the way it still retains the Mack look and not just a Granite body on a King Hauler chassis (not to knock anyone who's done this in the past, your conversion is still respected nonetheless). Keep up the great work! -Alex |
Re: Izzy's Dump truck
Travis - Ive had it runnin around a good bit - is a lot of fun......Thanks for all your help with the parts.....
Been working on hiding the ESC, mouniting a power switch, routing the battery wires etc & waiting for parts...... |

Re: Izzy's Dump truck

|
Re: Izzy's Dump truck
looking good Chris. The tanks are a nice touch.
|
Re: Izzy's Dump truck
I-m impressed with the tanks too
Kinda hard to see -but I used the little plates that come with the flatbed kit that tie the chains down- threaded those and mounted to the king steps -then drilled holes for them to stick through and bent them over on the inside Hopefully these pics make some sense http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...p/IMG_0227.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...p/IMG_0229.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...p/IMG_0230.jpg See?????
