Looneybin’s Kyosho Jumbo Kong MT

[looneybin]

Well I got a deal on some Kyosho Mad Force Kruiser VE parts. Iv owned a few Force trucks and they are qwerky but super simple solid trucks. I pondered what to do with them and I had this Vaterra K5 Blazer body sitting around so here we are. The Vaterra body is large in comparison to other 1/10 scale bodies and I have always wanted a set of Imex Jumbo Kong tires so I thought they may fit well together. I started making a chassis and want to keep it simple but like everything its getting more and more complex.

Adjustable front body mount. I may want to install a scale engine up here in the furture.

I recall them tires being like 8.5 inches right? I wouldn't mind owning a set if the wheels with the 17mm hex were still around. Looks kike a fun build! I'll be watching.

8.5” tall 5” wide. I think they still make the 17mm ones. These are the old 14mm ones
