KBryan67 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 This is probably a stretch but does anyone know where possibly they still sell 1/25 scale plastic model monster trucks (tires size bout 2 1/4 diameter). I found 1 on eBay a Datsun "scavenger" which I ordered. Im seeing 1/32 scales on eBay but that to small. Or even just the lower end (everything below the chassis) in the 1/25 scale? I've searched online and nothing besides the one I did find. Like I said I know it's a stretch or long shot but thought I would ask. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The easiest way to get the tires is buying the AMT USA-1 kit. It was in constant production for about a decade so the market is fairly glutted with them. Don't pay more than $15 or so for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBryan67 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I've looked on eBay n another site can't remember but those were 1/32 scale which is to small couldn't find 1/25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPNM Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 You may want to check this thread. There may be more than you are aware of. It might give you a broader search. Sure eBay prices on some of these are absurd, there are times when you can get a good deal. You gotta keep your eyes open. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/139128-monster-trucks/?tab=comments#comment-2040031 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 These are the ones to look for, there is also a Munsters version of this kit in black that can be found cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 There's also the Lindberg kits, but I think those tires are bigger than 2-1/4". I think they're more like 3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) The Ford monster trucks form AMT had 3 inch tall tires. The MPC Bronco monster truck had 2 3/8 inch tall tires. Good luck fining one cheap enough to just take the tires off of. You might want to check out one of these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Revell-MONSTER-JAM-MAX-D-MAXIMUM-DESTRUCTION-MODEL-KIT-SNAP-TITE Edited April 3, 2019 by 1930fordpickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBryan67 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi guys, So I got this one in mail 1/25 scale. Tires are a bit smaller then the 2 sets I aquired years n years ago but not by much. I'm gonna use bottom end for a monster truck GTO that I have. The rest of this kit (chassis on up) I'm probably gonna make a hot rod out of it. Plus I have another 1/25 monster coming in mail.
