Cool! How about some glossy paint? And as to your question, IDK.

[fieldfairy2]

I am thinking of chrome/silver flames on the hood with the rest of the car a glossy black.

Once you guys start getting close to my question i will post a pic or two.

Red metallic would look good

I'd suggest you to make a model body and get some aoshima swampers for better performance and for look also those tires just dosent fit with the chassis IMO.

[fieldfairy2]

c1v1c: are these the tires?
These look like the irok's

How big are these in centimeters?

[dontspamme]

Nice truck. When you get your new lego tires, I want your old ones and does the tires rub against the battery tray when you turn? As for those tires, I think they are 13.50mm wide and 35mm tall.

[fieldfairy2]

Sorry you can't have them. And yes they just BARELY rub the battery tray.(if you force it) Not enough to hurt the performance tho.I might not get new lego tires it depends if i can find any. here is what i have found:
Which are better the super swampers or these:

Are they good for crawling? they are about 4.5 centimeters if my math is correct.

[greenday]

They are not good for crawling on rocks, as they are hard. (from what I have heard) However they are good for romping around on soft surfaces like mud...

[fordman239]

that trucks looks great. i see many people with those tires and i want some. too bad 4 me. great looking truck. can you get some videos??

[fieldfairy2]

Thanks,
I had no luck finding bigger lego tires. I might buy some regular super swampers. The bad thing about the lego tires on it now is that there is to much space between the tire and the rim. I will fix that soon.

Can anybody figure out my question?(located on the first post)

Sorry about the links. The pics wouldn't resize so i had to do a link
These were the best pics i could get.

Oh looks cool.
And for the tires, get the swampers. Like greenday said irok sucks in crawling.

These aren't iroks. I don't think anyone has them. I was just wondering if they were good

I want something a little bigger than swampers tho. Maybe 4.2-4.8 centimeters

[c1v1c]

Well they are made from the same brand so technically they are hard as iroks.

And if u want, u can stretch the swampers tires on those slammed rims.

[fieldfairy2]

I didn't know they were the same as irok's...

Will the super swampers be a little bigger with the slammed rims? if so how much? I need to know if i am going to make any adjustments to the body.
