Ballooning out the Swampers

[RodneyBad]

I got asked a few times on how I got my Super Swampers to balloon out on the

rims and not look soo skinny.

So here it is.

I picked up a tube from my LHS and a Pipe Cutter from Home Depot

Make sure it will fit over the wheel your using.

I picked up 3 different sizes to be on the safe side and having extra stuff around isn't

such a bad thing.

Made a measurement just short of the Fujimi Wide wheel I was using.

Then cut it.

there was some trail and error.

Slipped it over the wheel.

and there ya go, a Super Swamper that looks it's size in width.

Thanks and I hope this helps some people.

Great tutorial! Thanks, now I'm gonna try it with the SoReal Iroks. I've got PVC pipe to replace the original wheels, now I need to make the wheel centers. This tip will help I believe, not to mention it can be used for many other types of wheels and tires. Thanks again!

Thanks.

There is a Orange ring with a blue ring inside of it to

fit a 1/25 scale wheel inside of a tire with a larger opening

I painted the Rig Rubber black to help blend in with the tire.

It works (more or less)
