Fat Brian Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I scored a DM800 recently and I'm thinking about doing an offroad heavy haul/prime mover kind of thing with it. I want some tires that will somewhat fill up the front wheelwells, maybe tires from a loader or something probably about two inches tall or so. Does anyone know where I can find such a thing?

Tony Bryan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Try a toy store, the kids have a great array of tyres on their toys, you might get lucky and find them on a cheap toy, or try the broken/parts in the die cast section on evil bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I will drop him a line and see what the diameter of those are, they look pretty close to what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 This is what Dave's tires look like on the DM I had to move the front axle foward to get the tires to fit in the opening. I will try and answer any questions you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Those are what I'm looking for. I'm planning pretty much what you did, a 6x6 prime mover. I might put a crane or something on the back, I'm starting with the DM mixer kit so I have a about a foot of frame behind the cab to play with and I can always shorten it a bit too.

Bricksonwheels Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 You can buy some neat Lego tyres as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
