Scale Problem
I have recieved drawings for the truck I want to build, but I have a problem,.
I was planning to use Axial axles and 1.9 wheels but working out the scale I get the following.
Truck wheel Diameter = 1350mm divided by 1.9 wheel diameter = 12.5 scale
Truck Axle width = 2492mm divided by Axial axle width = 11.32 scale
If I build 12.5 scale the axles are too wide and if I build 11.32 scale the whhels are too small
How do you Scale Truck builders get round this???

Unfortuneatly most of good looking tires have poor off-roading performance.
Search for tires that will fit 2.2 rim, try towerhobbies or rc4wd, 99% of them has tire diameter in their description.
Assuming that you will use axial axle, those rims:

wich have pretty big offset wil give You overall width about 24-25cm ...
Good luck with project :ok
BTW Because of the fact that all our trucks are made or are willing to be in 1:10 scale, they look pretty well together on films and photos
