ABC Auto Industry Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 OK, I've found sources for resin Rockwell 2 1/2-ton and 5-ton axles, plus 66-inch flotation tires (or Terra Tires, or whatever you call them), but I've yet to find anybody that makes the 48-inch flotation tires...you know, the ones found on the really early monster trucks. Does anybody know if I can find any, and if so, where? I've got a couple ideas for old-school monster trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wow, that takes me back to the early days of monster trucks. I remember buying the special issue of Four Wheel & Off-Road with the color section of monster trucks... To answer your question, I've never seen that size/type of tire in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. I wish there was an early Ford Ranger in kit form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Would the tires from a 1/32 kit be the right scale? Maybe something in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart or a dollar store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) A board member who's no longer active pointed me toward those tires a few years ago. They come on Newray 1/43 diecast monster trucks and scale out almost perfectly to 48" early monster truck tires. The rims might be a tad small but you can always embiggen the hole and use USA-1 or Bigfoot rims.
