clarkdef Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Those are some awesome tyres, I have a question what is there circumfrance and do they over hang the wheels more than the original tryes? Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Do you make also 4 axcel stearing in it? love your tires Quote
z3_2drive Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 nice, love the rok lox 1.9 tires,im sure thats what they are I have a set of four and I don't know about circumference but outer diameter is 114.7 mm (4.54in) Pretty sweet offroad, if you got some weight on top for better traction Quote
DLuders Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 @ midengineaddict: Welcome to Eurobricks! Your 8-wheeled Crawler MOC looks good so far -- I like those RC4WD Rok Lox 1.9 Comp Tires on the Lego 44772 wheels too: Quote
clarkdef Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 nice, love the rok lox 1.9 tires,im sure thats what they are I have a set of four and I don't know about circumference but outer diameter is 114.7 mm (4.54in) Pretty sweet offroad, if you got some weight on top for better traction I want something slightly bigger than the crawler tyres, the crawlers tyres are 300mm all the way around and they don't quite look big enough on my car, also they overhang off the rim too much and are scraping the steering arm. Though crawler tyres are very light for their size which is a bonus, these tyres look like they would be fairly heavy being real rubber. Quote
midengineaddict Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Do you make also 4 axcel stearing in it? love your tires It will be 8 wheels steer with 2 servos, so the front axles and the rear axles will be independent steering. It's 5:30 in the morning, and I can't wait to build the chassis I will post my progress by the end of the day... Quote

Lost_In_Noise Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 But still it looks great IMO, it reminds me of the Rocket Launcher some time back with the same color scheme. This one. Quote
z3_2drive Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 will you do a video anytime soon? hopefully outdoors Quote
midengineaddict Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I will keep the black and yellow color scheme but I'll buy some parts to make it look better... I'll make a video when the battery pack and the receiver will be installed, hope I'll have some time this week... Quote
