Hi everyone!

Here's a quick preview of my next upgrades! Still need paint and polishing!













There was no works on the truck since a long time because I made big change in my workplace and got some new equipment . Now, I only need time But I still follow your threads

Thanks guys! I'm also working on new fuel tanks and wheels... But it's more complicated for me and and it could take some times... Not always easy to learn at my age but still fun!

Hi folks,
There's my first attempt to make my trucks wheels It still a prototype and need many rectifications, mostly on finishing, but all in all I'm satisfied of that first step. The "axle" is only a machining aid







Thanks for viewing!

Wow, it looks good for a first attempt! Did you machine that yourself? Nice job.

Yes I did It's my third job since I got my new tools some weeks ago. I love to play with them . Just need skill and knowledge now, and it's not the easy part . Ho... and I forgot to mention that the right one on the picture where you see two wheels is a stock Tamiya, just to compare
In fact, it's mostly because I wanted ten holes wheels

Hi everyone,
Here's my first four rear wheels almost finished (some polishing...).



Not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the results. They will move at the rear as the better ones will come I'm working now on the inner wheels. I'll post better pics after these be done.
Thanks for viewing,
Gaetan

Those wheels are very good for a first try at making them. Polishing aluminum is an art in itself. Very nice touch to finish your truck and trailers

I am well impressed. I know some people churn out tons of wheels, but they do it all the time. For you to turn out that quality at a first attempt is really amazing.

Thanks guys!
But I dont't think that "first attempt" is exactly the real term , I scrapped a couple of them in the learning process .
The ones on the last picture are not polished except the third, althought I'm not sure it makes a big difference on the picture. There's one after some polishing.



I used some type of littles abrasives sponges to obtain the finish (from 400 to 1400) on the first picture, and an silver polish named Sylvo on this one, but I'm not sure it's a good way... Maybe someone know?

go at them the same way you would on your 1:1. when I worked in an aluminum fab shop, we sanded with 1500 grit sandpaper, then used autosol for a cutting polish.(you can get a quart for under $50 at most truck stops). then go over it with a finishing polish, one with no grit in it. canadian tire stuff would work.
what did you use to make them, just a lathe?

very nice work!

Thanks Goose19,
I also used a CNC mill to made them
So many things to know, althought it's a relatively easy design...
But As I said, I have many others to do to complete all my rig and to date each one is better than the last, so they will move to the rear as better ones will be produced, keeping the best ones for the truck itself.
