How To: Using lego tires for trucks

[crunk rida]

Ok here is the tutorial on how to use the lego technec tires like these http://cgi.ebay.com/Good-lot-of-LEGO...12QQrdZ1QQcmdZ a evo truck.

Tools needed:
hammer, flat head screw driver, small file, needle nose pliers, super glue, hot glue gun and hot glue a set of stock evo truck rims

First what you need to do is hollow the center the wheel out so we can fit the stock wheel in it.
use the hammer to hit the flat head to chizzle and break away the plastic inside.

then file off any extra plastic, its should look like this.


now get the stock evo truck rim ready to glue.

next put a very small amount of duct tape on the part of the rim that will go inside the lego wheel (we are making it thicker so it will not wobble when its done.)

then make a seal of super glue inside the lego rim where they will make contact. it should look like this

let its dry about 1-2 min then make another seal around the outside with hot glue to seal the outside. now let that dry and its all done. now repeat with the 3 remaining wheels. NOTE: this will not work on a stock truck because of the added weight. i recomend awd and a motor with neos.

yea this is a pretty popular tire cuz it works so well. i think it works ok if u just drill out the center. imma gonna paint them chrome to look better with the truck. I wish lego would sell the wheels by themselves.

this is exacaly what i did for my john deere truck but use tire from a toy truck

[pittbull988]

i got them a lil while ago but i got yellow ones instead...they work prety good but i think im gunna make custom foam inserts for them so they will be balanced a lil better..but other than that there real good..cant wait to get liths and rear alloy drivetrain ex. long dogbones, diff(cnt find one if n e one knows where to get on pm me) and rear axle stubs

man that hot! i wish i have a truck

Neat idea Crunk Rida I didn't know that lego wheels and tires worked with evo trucks but I'm not about to put them onto my evo Truck (If I had one) but that's just me and I have a different mind to what mine should look like But still it's a good idea!
