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.

Slipped it over the wheel.

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) B)
