check the shoes on this baby

they fit beautifully on wide mr01 wheels! :smile: they're semi pneumatic, rubber is nice, about 30 - 40 degree and measure 30.4 x 14mm. just what i was after!! saves me forking out for ol wheels like i was gonna. they will require a modded shell, and the front tyres will rub on the chassis when turning, but this is a minor obstacle! yet to try it out, i've only got 2 tyres, but the toyshop's up the road, i'll be shopping tomorrow! :eek:

it's all good! check dis!

they work so well, only coming unseated during rollovers. as can be expected torque is reduced and top speed is better, but i'm currently runnig a 9t pinion so dropping down to a 6t will make it spit dirt! the tyres themselves are great, plenty grippy on concrete and a little bouncy. i can go across the grass too, thanks to the larger diameter. it gets stuck sometimes in a tall part BUT. lego comes to the rescue again! :eek:

this car has the same rims as the other, so i can only assume that these tyres will fit just as well.

how good is that!!!!! :eek:

and the first person that says "why don't you just buy an overland" is gonna cop a punch in tha neck! :blazin:

Those actually look pretty good on there. Now you just need a truck body.

Not sure about them big 'uns though. They look kinda goofy.;)
