catd11rpusher Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I was such a evil knievel fan when I was a kid, I forgot about that truck that would be real cool to build.
bandit1 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 I was such a evil knievel fan when I was a kid, I forgot about that truck that would be real cool to build. well im looking for info on where to start at right now! mainly anything that may get me a jump start on it!?
Truck parts Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 SEAN,, AIM RESIN TRUCK PARTS SELLS A F MODEL MACK, NOT SURE WHAT YEAR THEY ARE. THAT WOULD BE A COOL TRUCK,AND TRAILER TO BUILD.
Ben Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I make the little spoke wheels found on the trailer.
jekylljr Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 ben do u make dayton spoke rims in 1 24 scale?
Ben Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 ben do u make dayton spoke rims in 1 24 scale? The only spoke wheels I make are the small 17" three spoke wheels like what are found on the trailer of the Evil Kneivel rig. There are several casters out there that make the bigger 22.5 and 24.5 five and six spoke wheels in 1/25 and 1/24. I'd have to see the wheel your wanting to replicate to steer you in the right direction.

THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION FORUM! IT IS A "DISCUSSION THREAD"! AND 2. THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS BUT ABOUT GETTING HELP FOR A PROJECT!!! (Mainly trying to get help on this particular project that im going to start! its just trying to figure out where to start? no?) nuff' said! Edited October 19, 2011 by bandit1
Harry P. Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Guys, let's keep this thread on topic, please. If anyone wants to know what wheels are available and from whom for other, unrelated projects, you should start up a new topic under the "Wanted" section or the "Resin" section... or even in the general Trucks section... but let's keep this particular topic on topic.
jekylljr Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 well now bandit1 has wheels for his trailer ect ect ect.........still on topic no??????
bandit1 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 well now bandit1 has wheels for his trailer ect ect ect.........still on topic no?????? actually i dont yet but i do kinda sorta if you want to consider it! i do have the wheels! now would the cruisliner chassie work or is there a better frame for it? i also found what appears to be the correct cab with all the interior goodies. main thing is trying to find a decent kit to start with and find a donor trailer kit for the trailer? eh?

I'm the one that asked why,not the guy talking about his wheels,so calm down,count to 10. Start by not using capital letters,and Bens wheels for the trailer.Now back to your question I would start with a R model modified to fit a coe ,rather than a cruiseliner because the cruise liner has a axle mounted steering box. Evil had a KW before the Mack that had a 296 wheelbase with the fifth wheel 2 feet behind the rear drive axle.I assume the Mack was the same.I'll see if I can find out the size of box and trailer for you in my books Edited October 20, 2011 by mistermodel

(funny how i said that eh?) thanks for the help there i didnt know it was in a book somewhere? cool!
