Started making this about a week ago. Night Ops colors. Haven't made a driver for it yet. Started with several base coat of Krylon Fusion Blue, added tape and painted Krylon Fusion Black. Bought a John Deer tractor from Wal-Mart and swapped wheels to give it a more aggressive look.
This will be a Door Prize at TaterCon. Planning on making one more of these and a Fang Boat with it.

That's awesome. It can also pass as a Cobra Nightwatch vehicle since it has the same camo pattern as the 25th box set figures.

These are the tires I used. They come on 2 different models. They were $10 at Wal-Mart. John Deere 6" Monster Treads Lights and Sounds Gator - Lights & Sounds - Toy Tractors - Toys - John Deere Toys, Hats, Shirts, Replicas, and Merchandise For the axle I used hobby aluminum found at Hobby Lobby. It was right under all of the excel hobby tools. I bought it a little too big so I had to dremel the rims out alittle. The last one I made I didnt use a one piece axle and it did not work so well. This new axle is great and the wheels stay on snug too.

I LOVE this!!! I wish I could make it to Tatercon so I could have a chance at this!
Did you do anything different besides the wheels? Did you have to alter the chassis at all?

Thanks. The only things I changed was the wheels and axle. I chopped of the peg that hold the plastic wheels on and drilled holes to fit the aluminum pipe in there.
