Here are some shots of my monster... well not a truck, right now it's a monster mini, we will see what I can do for a final body later.

Here are the tires I used, and the grey things you see are the wheels that fit in the tires, once in some of them have small holes in them that work for sticking the stock axle into, others (front) have a large hole which accomodates a kit racer thin front wheel reversed (hard to describe, hope later pics help).

And here you see the front steering knuckles with slightly modified kit racer wheels glued to them, the nub sticking out goes into the wheel which holds the large tires, and also allows enough space to keep the tires from hitting the chasis and body.

Here is just one steering knuckle with the wheel place where it will be glued down, it's crooked cuz there is no glue right now.

Here she is so you can see how it finished up, the chasis is riding extra high because stupid me forgot to space the rear wheels as far out as the fronts so the rears, while clearing the chasis, hit the frame. All tires are fully removeable and can be swapped so when I get time tomorrow and I am realy sure the glue dried I will pull them off and space them right, hopefully lower body then.

Here is a side shot, you will notice the rear wheels have nice shiny rims while the fronts are dull. The dull you see is just the plastic wheel that the tires go on, the rears got some slightly modified microworks hub caps, sadly only 2 small hubcaps so I will need another micro works to put caps on the front.

Here is a shot of the back, big tires eh?

And in case your wondering how it looks from underneath here is a shot. The rear axle was done by pulling one wheel off and adding the trim from a kit racer wheel for spacing (opposite the gear side) the rears use the pices with small holes in them to center and attach to the drive axle, the gear holds one straight, the other took some finessing. They are reasonably straight now.

Now moved to a Motorworks, looks kinda nice with that body too, wheels work fine without the extra high body, but the wheels hit the frame sometimes during turns, will have to work that out still (maybe sand away).
