K5 Rear Tire Idea

[Wraith1985]

I was wanting a fifth tire, but didnt want to put it on the roof and this is what i came up with. Just so happen the light holes on the Axial bumper line up perfectly with the bumper posts on the K5. I had to space it out a little more to get the body to sit right, but it came out great.

The narrow width of the JK bumper just looks off on the K5. Maybe try and add the carrier to the K5 bumper.

Ya it is narrow compared to the body. That's a good idea I'll see what I can do, thankyou.

Got the tire carrier attached to the K5 bumper. The K5 bumper is not as stout as the JK bumper so i think a lighter wheel and tire would be better.

Its a Axial Scx10 body post attachment that comes in the extra part trees with a Scx rtr. The part tree number is AX80031.

I ended up adding a spacer also in between the ribs in the bumper, it helped.
