[Rakthi]

A different variation with slightly different measurements

[frizzen]

Doing some math to convert in the pic rakthi just poasted:
Over all length: 278.25 ÷ 16 = 17.390 inches long
Width 97.75 ÷ 16 = 6.109 inch
Track width front: 67.75 ÷ 16 = 4.234 inch
Track between duals front: 70 ÷ 16 = 4.375 inch

Print it out and thats your 100% then you have to check how far off from the 1/16 numbers we just found are from your 100% numbers are to figure your correction percentage.

I know Word atleast used to let you put a picture in it and resize it to actual dimentions. Go to paint, section 1 view of the truck with the lines at the edges and save it, open in word, there should be a resize option that lets you plug in dimentions. Print and verify the size is right.


Before you get too crazy scaling this out and starting, make sure you can figure out some tires. You may make a perfect 1/16 body, but the truck has 3.3" semi tires instead of the 2.5" you need you're now sitting on scaled 53" tires instead of 40". Or 2" tires are just 32". It'd be easier to tweak the trucks up or down a bit in scale (maybe 1/14 or 1/18) than explain why you have either a low-rider or a monster truck driving around with the tanks.

What axles are you planning? Are you going to need to play around with backspacing to get it where you need?
